Happy Birthday Stacy! -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 10:14
Say you heard from a friend who bumped into an ex of yours and they were talking for a bit, and your ex is asking your friend how you are, etc and she - Loyola Sep 9, 10:13 8
- Get out of my life! -- nm - Truman s.i. Sep 9, 10:26
- a sign of vague interest. more interest would likely be indicated by the ex actually making an effort to get in touch with you. -- nm - kare Sep 9, 10:18
- Was she crazy fantastic in bed? -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 10:16 2
  - She was nice. -- nm - Loyola Sep 9, 10:20 1
    - Let it go - amoxy Sep 9, 10:28
- that's as subtle a sign as showing up naked at someone's doorstep. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 9, 10:16
- ~ Heard it from a friend who, heard it from a friend who... ~ - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 10:15
- I say leave it alone. -- nm - CQ Sep 9, 10:15

      - LORD PALMERSTON!! (nm) - musubi Sep 9, 10:12
Dano, did you go to the Dragon*Con parade? TWIT live streamed it. I love how they covered it like it was the freakin' Macy's/Roses parade. -- (link) - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 9, 10:08 [youtube] 4
- The Dr. Who batch was pretty cool. A number of current Dr.'s and Amy, plus at least one Stone Angel. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 9, 10:21
- I wish I could've made it. Hopefully next year. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 9, 10:18
- No, but I'm sure Qale did. -- nm - Dano Sep 9, 10:15 1
  - You all look the same to me. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 9, 10:17

- was it sponsored by Vodka? -- nm - Remlik Sep 9, 10:08
- they prolly didn't want their phone lines to melt -- nm - prayformojo Sep 9, 10:06
It's one thing to not notice a book is 769, not 796, but wouldn't you notice that you're putting a book about baseball cards in the Olympics section? -- nm - mara Sep 9, 10:04 1
- Well, they are both generally sport related.... - musubi Sep 9, 10:06
If someone doesn't believe in evolution, why should the Darwin billboard bother them? -- nm - con_carne Sep 9, 10:02 53
- It sure as hell doesn't say "your point of view is valid as well", not on that billboard ... -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:03 48
  - It validates people who want to base their life on more than just faith. Which is me. -- nm - con_carne Sep 9, 10:12 2
    - Your existence shouldn't be validated by advertising billboards. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:20 1
      - You know what? You're right? And all those PSA billboards cautioning against suicide or cancer/smoking, or drunk driving? Not worth shit, either. -- nm - con_carne Sep 9, 10:25
  - [deleted] 3
    - we can dislike both, sure. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:14
    - Generally I find them frustrating. - Cuzzin Todd Sep 9, 10:11
    - And to be fair, there are PLENTY of religious billboards in Georgia. - Strongbad Sep 9, 10:09
  - Do the Christian messages saying that I should seek Christ's salvation also say, "but if you don't that's cool too"? - musubi Sep 9, 10:05 40
    - I said, they are doing the exact same thing with atheism that I don't like about theism. - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:06 39
      - This isn't an eye for an eye. *Neither* is antagonistic imo. I ignore both. - musubi Sep 9, 10:08 35
        
        I would like to ban religious advertising, as much as I would like to ban political advertising. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:09 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        This sort of thing is why I want to own a private island. A region of space where I can dictate terms, without impacting others. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:17
        
        (and, of course, religious advertising includes the anti-religious ...) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:10
        
        horseshit. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:09 30
        
        [deleted] 27
        
        I'm saying at least one side, if not both, are clearly being antagonistic. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:13 25
        
        I disagree. Imo, the signs linked carry the same level of proselytizing as the typical scriputure-quoting religious billboard. - musubi Sep 9, 10:16 14
        
        it was factually horseshit. "evolve beyond belief" is plainly antagonistic on its face. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:17 13
        
        Why is that any more antogonistic than "Christ is the ONLY way" or some such? - musubi Sep 9, 10:21 7
        
        One is expressing a personally held belief, the other is expressing that someone elses personally held belief makes them un-evolved i.e. stupid - Stephen Sep 9, 10:36
        
        its not. they are both antagonistic to some degree. one could argue whether they are *intended* to be so... - TFox Sep 9, 10:23 4
        
        So, it's arguable, and not "factually horsesh**", eh? I completely disagree with your 100% number in the IM. - musubi Sep 9, 10:26 3
        
        the intent is arguable. the douchiness, decidedly not. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:27 2
        
        Really? You consider a Christian who politely tells me that Christ is the only path to salvation is being a douche? (nm) - musubi Sep 9, 10:29 1
        
        I would describe it as being overbearing, and it would make me uncomfortable. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:31
        
        I consider them to be equally overbearing. That's my opinion. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:22
        
        only if you presume evolution to be a value-driven process - znufrii Sep 9, 10:19 4
        
        Now this post here, is clearly antagonistic. Only meant to rile TFox. (nm) - musubi Sep 9, 10:22
        
        *smashes you in the face* -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:19 2
        
        I must say... - znufrii Sep 9, 10:20 1
        
        I've been consistently anti-douche in my career here. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:25
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        i never said not to let them. they can knock themselves out. just said they're douchey. -- nm - TFox Sep 9, 10:16 8
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        they both annoy me, because they are both douchey, and perhaps the worst Christian ones are even worse... - TFox Sep 9, 10:25
        
        I find them all amusing and consider them a waste of money. - Strongbad Sep 9, 10:25 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        /like -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 10:18
        
        I guess I am not sure, what side is being douchey? -- nm - amoxy Sep 9, 10:17 2
        
        both sides have made douchey billboards on plenty of occasions. - TFox Sep 9, 10:18
        
        I don't know if TFox shares this opinion, but I say that both sides are. :) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:18
        
        Needful Things 2! -- nm - CQ Sep 9, 10:13
        
        I'm not sure how I can respond to this well reasoned, articulate response. - musubi Sep 9, 10:11 1
        
        HOUSED!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- nm - Strongbad Sep 9, 10:11
      - A Darwin billboard doesn't really say anything about atheism. Most of the Christians I know are fine with evolution. -- nm - mara Sep 9, 10:08 2
        
        That particular billboard did. - musubi Sep 9, 10:10
        
        It's the "Evolve BEYOND Belief" subtitle that I have an issue with -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:09
- spoiler alert - TFox Sep 9, 10:03 3
  - *ding* -- nm - oblique Sep 9, 10:17
  - I'm saying true believers are not the intended audience of that billboard, but agnostics, and people on the fence -- nm - con_carne Sep 9, 10:09 1
    - Disagree. It's a thumb-to-the-eye to the people making the pro-religious billboards. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 9, 10:17
Hey, I'm just doing something provocative. If someone does something reactionary because of it, it's not my fault! -- nm - Pastor Terry Jones Sep 9, 10:01 13
- hey lawyers, could this be deemed (criminal?) in the same way that yelling fire in a crowded theater would be? -- nm - Max Sep 9, 10:05 11
  - [deleted] 8
    - Understand that he may be in violation of burn-ban laws... local -- will be interesting to observe as this goes down. -- nm - OAE Sep 9, 10:14 6
      - I expect that the fire dept is on hand and immediately puts out the fire, and the sheriff arrests the pastor in front of the cameras. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 9, 10:16
      - [deleted] 4
        
        yeah, that's a cheap end around.....nm - xi Sep 9, 10:17
        
        Interesting -- if you were his lawyer, how would you advise him? -- nm - OAE Sep 9, 10:16 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Wear a vest. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 9, 10:27
    - interesting. -- nm - Max Sep 9, 10:11
  - My point being - and I'm not being rhetorical - how does this compare to the anti-religion billboards? Where's the line? What's legit, and what isn't? -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 9, 10:06 1
    - How does burning a religious text compare to a billboard? It doesn't. -- nm - Krusty Sep 9, 10:07
- I'm just going to swing my arms like this, and walk in this direction, and if someone gets in my way, it's not my fault! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 10:02
"Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Exit Here" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 9, 10:00
