  1. If only they’d known about abortion and/or infanticide in the first century.
  2. He didn’t say he wasn’t a refugee. He said he wasn’t “at the time” (of his birth). The flight to Egypt was as much as 2 years later.
  3. I’d argue the establishment clause of the first amendment is similar actually. Part of its purpose was to protect the churches already established in various states. In our mythology, we think of many early colonists fleeing persecution in Europe in search of freedom of religion; other than Rhode Island, it was often more “freedom to establish our church and now be the persecutors instead.”
  4. I don’t know, 18 figures seems a bit steep.
  5. TIL some people on this board apparently don’t respect Tyrone Swoopes.
  6. I’ve never wanted him for that reason. But in general, yeah, you’re probably right.
  7. Similar on the field? Probably not. Similar in terms of scandal? That’s how it always ends with him-see OSU, Florida. Intellectually lazy is assuming we’d be the exception.
  8. I feel like that analogy plays better to an audience outside of Texas. Or Southern California, for that matter.
  9. How do they negate each other? The reason they didn’t get Meyer is because he said no. Sark was plan B. In both cases, the BMDs were driving it all.
  10. I assume he’s taking about the Mindy McCready thing, though even she claimed they didn’t have a sexual relationship till years after they met. Edit: yeah, was typing that when he posted confirming.
  11. So you say you want to recruit a hangman and then have (I assume) the condemned listed as if they are recruiting targets. Your metaphor is pretty poorly executed.
  12. Then yeah, you’re probably right (and that’s pretty messed up).
  13. Oh, I was referring to your persistence in making that same comment over and over and over again. No one is thinking about Meyer unless they’re an abject moron. So you might actually have a point about some of our BMDs.
  14. If at first you don't succeed...
  15. False dichotomies, how do they work?
  16. That’s semi-correct. Even with the housing allowance, they still have to pay property taxes if the buy a home. The housing allowance is supposed to be accountable too, reflecting either what was actually spent on housing or else the fair market rental value (so you can’t just declare your whole salary as a “housing allowance” in other words.) And even then, that money is not subject to income tax, but it’s still taxed for social security.
  17. The church has to actually own it and provide the home as part of the compensation package. It sounds as if your friend owns the home himself, at least based on the way you put it, in which case he'd pay property taxes just like everyone else. Churches do it both ways these days. It used to be much more common for them to provide parsonages. In the last couple of decades in particular, they have started selling those off and are just paying more in salary so the minister can own his own home and they can get out of the landlord business.
  18. Wait, what? The same Roy Williams who had the worst drop rate in the NFL his last 3 years in the league? You guys realize that just because you play WR - even just because you're a really good WR - it doesn't necessarily mean you have great hands, right?
  19. I’m worried about all the people who are taking a Hank Scorpio post seriously.
  20. I hate the proliferation of EDGE to describe a 4-3 DE/3-4 OLB type. I don’t mind the term itself, but it annoys me that it’s all caps when all other positions are abbreviated with one or two letters. It should be Edge, abbreviated with just an E. The only potential confusion would be with DE, but it effectively replaces that anyway. We don’t say a guy plays CENTER or SAFETY. It makes no sense.
  21. Why do I get the feeling that you’re this uncle?
  22. And it has to be hand washed too. What a bargain.
  23. There are $1200 hoodies?
  24. His predecessor couldn’t even do that in 6 years. Yeah, we *should* expect better than that. But we need to be realistic too.
