Got any questions for Linus, god? Is Linux in the Bible? God says... 1:7 Your country is desolate, your cities are burned with fire: your land, strangers devour it in your presence, and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. 1:8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. 1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. 1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. ---- God says, "Berp"? (God didn say that.) God says... endureth linger endlessly antidote ---- That was about nerdy (or gay) guys leaving women alone. Tell us about dinosaurs. What about T-rex's wittow arms? God says... we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase: 25:21 Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years. 25:22 And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in ye shall eat of the old store. 25:23 The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine, for ye are strangers and sojourners with me. 25:24 And in all the land of your posse
Thou shall not covet. Highs and lows balance. If you got rich, you would be disappointed. this video God says... judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it. 4:15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: 4:16 Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 4:17 The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air, 4:18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth: 4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven. ---- Some Mexicans want justice for the land taken by the US. If they owned the SouthWest it would be... Mexico. A friend said they would say, "You keep it, we just want to work there." Look at African farms taken from whites. Fucken coveting is wrong. On socialism God said, "Pardon the French, never happy, never enough." Chavez was blaming the US. God said, "Japan industrious." They were occupied by the US!
If LFR were alive today (assuming* the underlying mechanism of war has not changed) perhaps he would take his argument online, in the hopes that people might be able to play with the data in his patiently gathered .xls files and decide for themselves? Unfortunately, nothing tends to squick the Spiessbürger/petits bougies so quickly as sheets and peace. Lagniappe: this video * a justified assumption, I'd say: the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but that's certainly the way to bet. EDIT: even BWW (or at least his author?) was once aware of the origin of the infamous yoke: [LINK] pedantry: of course he can't recall, if he's querying for "this Roman general", as they were "these": Titus Veturius Calvinus ac Spurius Postumius Albinus Caudinus
