And hell, just look at that video you linked: saying socialism is evil is just the flipside of saying capitalism is evil. Both are simplistic arguments based on a profound lack of understanding of complex and nuanced subjects. It would make just as much sense to say education is evil or that...

Meh, to be quite honest, I'm neither capitalist nor socialist. Both have their positives, and both can result in hell on Earth when distorted by greed and the pursuit of power. Neither one is either inherently good or inherently evil. I personally support a capitalist economy with laws in...

Jon, by that logic, that means that taxes are also theft. That's actually a central tenet of both Anarchism and some branches of Libertarianism (mainly that following the writings of Ayn Rand).

With how unremittingly hostile the forum has become to non-conservatives, I normally CBA to reply to political posts here any longer, but I felt the extra information I could add was too important to not post it.

Also, don't forget that there are two major kinds of socialism: economic socialism and governmental socialism. Economic is the idea that property and the means of production should belong to the workers, and that the proceeds of said production should be split by all. There are different...

And for the record, my employer (more specifically, my director) last year instructed us to move our applications from Access to C#. We already had the SQL Server databases going. We're STILL doing the conversions, because about half of the 14 Access apps we supported were EXTREMELY complex...

Well, they could always set up SQL Server or Oracle systems, hire a DBA to run them, hire at least one full-time application devloper (cheaper than the DBA, normally, but not all THAT much cheaper), and then spend the necessary time required to convert the applications from Access to the non-VBA...

Well, we knew something like this was going to happen, but it's kind of a bummer to see the vast majority of the 'thanks' not get transferred over to 'likes' and reaction score. Still, I think I like the new format. Takes some getting used to, but the improvement in speed is really nice.

It wasn't so much for your sake, Doc, as it was that the incorrect reference bugged the hell out of me. :)

All I was trying to say is that the source of 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' is Matthew 7:12. That's it. That's the whole statement you're so confused by and having such difficulty understanding. It's simple. Doc quoted "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"...

First off, work on your reading comprehension: I never at any point said that JESUS was being a hypocrite. I said that your quote - which STILL is not the Golden Rule that Doc paraphrased, no matter how much you try to change the topic - is about how condemning people for their sins when you...

Then I suggest you go reread that entire chapter again, bud. You posted that as being the Golden Rule he was paraphrasing, when his paraphrase is of 7:12. 7:5 is him telling people off for condemning someone, because none of the people doing the condemnations were free of sin, making them...

Just as a quick butting in, the Golden Rule that Doc paraphrased is Matthew 7:12: Matthew 7:5 is about condemning people, while 7:12 is the summary of the entire sermon.

I've never run into that before. What was the load on your computer at the time? The only thing I can think of offhand that's different between the two is that the button click involves a small animation plus recoloring of the button.

It's all there in his post:

It started out about Prince Harry suing some newspapers for allegedly hacking his phone. It has, however, long-since been derailed by CE and his obsessive hatred of Meghan Markle for being American and, even worse, not being 100% Caucasian.

If you're interested in an example you can get your hands on, I posted a demo in the OOP thread a couple years back.

Nope, I don't like you. I've known for a while, now, however, that your anti-Americanism is 90% trolling, but I have zero tolerance for racism (including calling Markle 'half-caste', even if you don't mean anything by it). Blame it on being brought up in a severely racist family. And to be...

In my mind, yes. I rather like it, but I didn't find it to be even close to the same level of amusing as those two movies. When you get right down to it, they're dumb but really funny, while Tomatoes is dumb and occasionally amusing. Which all completely beside the point, as my comment was...

Oh, I love AotKC, but you can't deny that by all standards other than ridiculousness, it's a terrible movie.
