Goddamn it. I owe Debaser a hundred bucks.

Jews are also perceived as being not all that different from Christians; both hold the Old Testament as sacred. Not so for Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, etc.

Certainly true.

May not be true for Hindus, Buddhists, atheists, etc. ( though some individual Buddhists might disagree with that as well ). But it is true for Muslims. Granted they believe the Qur’an supercedes any point on which the two documents seem to disagree, but otherwise they accept the Old and New Testament as holy text. And unlike Jews, Muslims agree that Jesus was a prophet of God ;).

The same thing that distinguishes cowardice from zeal.

RickJay, thanks for the laugh with the fly-on-the-wall reporting of the exploratory group. :smiley:

Some of those wingnuts are so touchy and emotionally primed on the subject, they’ll troll for conflict on the topic by bringing it up in completely irrelevant threads.

And some are so touchy and emotionally primed they’ll look for it in any and all threads.

When you add New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, an Hispanic to the mix, it doesn’t seem like such a laughable statement any more.

Hey Dio since we’re settling old bets…

Remember this?

The only question is: do I merit another thread or just a reply in this one?

A new thread just for you. :slight_smile:

So, who ya calling in the Super Bowl? I have a few bucks to bet the other way. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not an idiot. I really have no idea this year. I have a soft spot for the Saints but any of the remaining four teams could get the ring. I’m not touching this with a ten foot pole.

I know you’re not an idiot. I was just hoping 20/1/07 would be the day you can point to as going 3-0. :slight_smile:

You know I like you, Dio, but I never understood why you made that bet. I can’t imagine anything in the world that would have stopped Hillary from trying for the nomination - at least part of the party leadership is still loyal to the Clintons.

Bullshit. You are out of touch with reality, dude. Almost all the talking heads, left or right, said she’d probably run.
