Thanks! But I'm not sure yet, it's very likely that I did but I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground. Also, I don't have the link saved, I'd have to look for it. Just search for Catbug + Mr Jeffers or something, hahaha.

Think I nailed it. I'll know for sure in the next few days :3

@Barbara I had my phone stolen a couple months ago and I actually haven't bought another yet. Since I was studying like crazy at the time, I saw it as an opportunity to get rid of another distraction... however, since I've done the exams I was studying for already (and even got my grades), I might buy a new one soon and then I'll send you my number.

It means nothing to me. It means this person is wishing for peace and that's it. I might get a little bit offended if a person knows I'm an atheist and says stuff like that directly to me, because I would feel in doing so this person does not respect my position regarding faith and deities, but it wouldn't be a big deal. Other than that I'm indifferent.

Never thought I'd live to see the day when Willian would be consistently our main goal threat.

Damn. That's why I asked, I heard they were gonna cancel it because the government is in shambles right now, thought you might have been one of the last lucky ones, apparently not. But oh well, you're probably going to have a blast there regardless.

Ohhh, nice. I'm envious. Is it "Ciências sem fronteiras" or some other program?

Owwwwnnn, Rmpr and Stingray met, how cute! What are you gonna do in Berlin, @Rmpr? University stuff?

Fair enough.

What about your profile picture? That's not even the best version of the player's rival in Pokemon games. Blue > Gary.

I was just thinking that if was running a fraud it would be a nice touch to have one of the main concepts consist in blindly following the rules and also would be nice if the thing that could undeniably prove or disprove everything decided to never show up. Pretty much every religion I know has these in abundance. What a weird coincidence! But I digress.

"God stopped showing himself to the people since we started counting years." I can't help but think how convenient is that, huh.

This is a weird case because I have seen him play well for his national team a couple times. But when I watch him in a blue jersey it's like he's never played the game, what gives?

Thanks for the great work in this forum during all these years, here hoping that you can star good comedy movies in the future 'cause I haven't liked your last ones too much.

A man can dream. Maybe one day.

Holy shit. I absolutely love landscapes like those, I'm envious.

Yea, but I thought Everton would be at least top 7. Really surprised with how poor they have been.

Tell me the truth, you want to hear me sing Zezé di Camargo again.

What a strike from Courtois.

It means exactly what it means. A fine of $200 has a different impact for someone who earns the minimum wage and another one who is a billionaire. Killing someone out of a whim and killing someone in self-defense are both killing someone and still they're not equally reprovable. I'm just saying this because homosexuals are a minority, and a discriminated one at that. They need legal protection. And what's happening here is the denial of a basic right (marriage) to this minority group. In my eyes this is not too different from excluding women from voting or blacks from studying in the same schools as caucasians. It must be noted that minority vs. majority is not only about numbers, it's a complex concept that also involves power and influence. Women were/are definitely not a minority in traditional sense but in terms of power they still are in many/most societies. I'd link some material they use in my university but they're in portuguese. In a quick search I found this little summary of what I'm talking about: http://www.democracyweb.org/node/36

Those two have different magnitudes. Jesus can suck my dick is akin to saying being gay is unnatural or an aberration, whereas not taking your kids to a school that has gay classes is more akin to an owner of a business refusing to serve you because you are a christian. Just like those images of Christ in those gay parades are in a whole different magnitude to denying a minority a civil right. Those are not comparable. And even if you compare wrongs of the same magnitude, the one against the minority will stand out more and be worse because they are naturally oppressed by being a minority, they're the weaker party. There's a saying in Law which I'm not sure I can translate properly but it is somewhat like this, treat equals equally and unequals unequally in accord to the intensity of that inequality - only then you'll have true justice. Minorities need certain privileges and rights in order to be able to withstand the rule of the majority. That's like one of the major founding basis of the human rights.

The true power of the gospel is this. To love your enemy and pray for them that they might convert. Like the guy in South Carolina. He killed church members but the real power of the life changing gospel stood up and said we forgive this guy and we will pray for him that he will come to know the lord. Or like this widow that forgives and pray that the ISIS member that martyr his husband will come to repentance. Widow's Joy: He Didn't Deny Christ When Beheadedhttp://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2015/June/Widows-Joy-He-Didnt-Deny-Christ-When-Beheaded/ I'm not saying those portrayals of Christ are right or anything, but you must see that in context. Homosexuals as of today are a minority and they are discriminated. This is a fact. It is also a fact that one of the main obstacles they face is the religious lobby against them, as such it is no wonder that they are attacking what they see as one of their main enemies. If Christianity wasn't threatening their existence and their legal rights I don't think they would have done that. Seriously doubt it. I can't even imagine what it must be like for them. I mean, it annoys me enough that people are against homosexuality for seemingly no valid reason at all, I'd probably be burning down churches if I was being denied civil rights for being gay on top of that.
