“PERMEATING SYLLOGISM YOU HAVE HERE.

im blinded by the length of discourse, and its logic.”

“The CAW may beg to differ. You shouldn't try to bash what you don't comprehend. Try a little google before you besmirch the brothers and sisters of the UAW.

“Oh, the inhumanity of it all! Those awful unions! We're all doomed!”

“Merry Christmas and viva la revolucion to you too flammer!

When JC flipped those tables, that had to be pretty cool.”

“JC was a charismatic socialist with some good party tricks - A cross between che guevara and david blaine.

At least we get a holiday”

“and a lib'ril, unrecognizable by the fundie's today”

“Not bad, but similar legends were already common at that time even before Jesus.”

“Unfortunately I am using an old keyboard and it does not have a sarcasm key. So to make my point as clearly as possible:
The christians (particularly the fundamentalists and evangelicals) accept archaeological evidence only when it suits their purpose. Any evidence contrary to creationist or biblical literalist beliefs are explained away in one way or another.
For example, they will accept radio carbon dating of the shroud of Turin if it is shown that the shroud dates to the time of jeebus, but they will say that the same technique of radio carbon dating showing that dinosaur remains are 75 million years old are false, because the earth in only 6,000 years old. They are cherry picking the facts, just like Bush did for Iraqi WMDs.
Evangelicals do not even understand where their belief of a 6,000 year old earth originates, but they cling to it desperately. Even the catholic church has given up on fighting that battle, as well as disputing the process of evolution, and that the sun revolves around the earth, because they are at least intelligent enough to know that it is not a battle they can win.”

“Bigger than elephants but taste like chicken :P”

“Post racial thing since election: you would go there but the fact of the matter is I just speak the plain truth and it bothers people. I have read this blog and countless posts and there are so many versions of the same thing its confusing. So that being said I think its all a sham to believe some childrens story made up by Europeans who took some other stories by some other people and made it to their liking and version.”

“In every church I ever attended, Jesus was depicted with sandy blond hair and blue eyes.”

“So. Before I respond to that, you're claiming that no one was tried and convicted under the Romans in 1st century Judea?”

“No, I'm claiming that you didn't read my post properly... I used the word "yet", as in "however", "notwithstanding", "regardless"... Read it again.”

“Yes, we call them birds.”

“Fuskas would have been a bigger star by now if it was going to happen.

He just never broke through, just never had that breakthrough project, and not for lack of opportunity. The Milan glass project is the closest thing he had I guess, but I've not heard good things about it.

I found his earlier more sculpture based work to be pretty interesting, but his modern stuff is pretty derivative of other architects who did it better.

Granted he's an incredibly talented guy, and probably deserves all the success he can get. But this is all relative. There's nothing that sets him apart like with Zaha or Morphosis or even Denari.

Italy needs a new big star architect. It's weird that they don't have one really, since Italy is sorta where star-chitecture really started.

Anyway, what do I know.

I'm just some chump in Jersey.”

“Regardless of taste, my list is more about the most influential architects of the last decade, and their most influential projects during that time. From my experience, these are the architects and projects that influenced the debate in the profession the most. Some of these architects are better represented in terms of the quality of their work by their smaller projects, but it's these larger projects that got the most press.”

“There is this fancy modern invention called "the internet" which connects the entire world to international content. Lo and behold the Daily Kos could be accessed in Italy.

How you concluded the Daily Kos could be compared to the mafia is a leap of "Epic Fail Palin style" proportions.”

“Definitely. If we were rightists we'd have used a cruise missile, kil.led 250 innocent bystanders, and claimed they were all Al Q.aeda.”

“Definitely. If we were rightists we'd have used a cruise missile, killed 250 innocent bystanders, and claimed they were all Al Qaeda.”

“Go home to Red State.”

“Hush child, adults are speaking.”

“Rightist sanctimony.”

“Zing!”

“You're trying to tell us Sarah Palin would have accepted the Nobel Peace Prize--
if only it were offered to her?”
