What we call Spanish rice is Mexican rice, which has tomatoes and other spices. It's named after the language, not the people. Whether they actually e...

Like @"180 Proof", this struck me as the unsupported part of your OP and I'd ask why this should be the goal. To quote Dylan: "A self-ordained profess...

Nothing like a big bowl of Spanish rice on Bourbon Street.

The biblical rule that provides authority to the rabbis: Deuteronomy 17:8–11 "If a matter eludes you in judgment... you shall arise and go up to the p...

Yeah, but that's just, no offense, horseshit pseudo scientific speculation. This is the Shoutbox, a place of serious inquiry and discussion, not just ...

It's true of steaks and lamb too, and you pay for the weight of the uneaten bone, which is an additional hidden expense. One wouldn't pay a premium fo...

I have some Castile soap. It's pepperminty and dries the skin, but provides a good lather. I thank your people for supplying me the hippie soap.

Well, the story tells us in one passage there were 2 of each animal, but in another 7 pair of clean animal and 1 of unclean. It tells us the flood was...

In the US, a 70% would be considered barely hanging in there, and in some programs that would be considered a D, just short of failing. If knowledge o...

I guess it's an American expression. A "C" (as opposed to an A or B) is an average grade. You can be average and still get a degree.

Cs get degrees I always say.

Perhaps respectful as opposed to deferential. Or not, if it's a shouting match or snarkiness competition you prefer.

Sounds like a Marxist liberation from religion ideology. Controlling the masses through religion and all. The Nietzchian response is to eliminate Chri...

Absence for some makes the heart grow fonder, but for me, it made my eyes begin to wander.

I'll go on record as calling rapists bad in all instances. The question is complicted by whether the person did the act or not. If there is a person w...

I'd have to remove the olive in order to see if the pimento had a husk. Maybe you can send me a picture without a husk-like olive obscuring it.

I'd still maintain that all that can be concluded is that we all do bad things, not that we're holistically bad. Like if a murderer, rapist, liar, che...

He didn't require you do bad, just that you'd hypothetically do bad if you could get away with it. So, if you never committed a bad act, and in fact l...

You're thinking of something else. Pimentos don't have husks,

Ah! That makes better sense. I think i was projecting how you might have gone searching for clams onto myself and using pimentos as an odd substitute....

I grew up around Pimento Bay. We'd run our toes into the sand feeling for pimentoes at low tide. I could usually get a couple of buckets full.

It's like a lobster roll, just with pimento cheese instead.

I think this might be where we part ways, but today it was pimento cheese sandwiches. Tell me that too was your lunch and I'll totally freak out. Like...

My cat loves green beans. It's a battle keeping her paws off the bean plate.

It's as immoral to turn the other cheek to evil and allow it to destroy the innocent as it is to annihilate.without restraint to protect the innocent....

You said it's heresy. But, assuming we don't care about that, I'd say it's perfectly fine to say the OT and NT are incompatible and you've got to choo...

I do think Bob has clarified. He did say he didn't think the OT God was consistent with what he knew God was. And I do see why a Christian would need ...

This isn't my position. It's @"Bob Ross"'s. He said the OT description of God wasn't God, and I said if it's not, the he saying those who do accept it...

Donald Davidson's "Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation." An anthology of his essays, so small self contained chunks, but still dense. Each paragra...

Sounds exactly like Christianity to me. As I noted, your position is reductivist and anthropomorphic as it relates to love, where love is God (reduced...

This is Cornbread. He ate the entire picnic, including the people, and he awaits dessert./uploads/resized/files/nt/kw88dxnva1t2o5pc.jpg

He meant it as more. It's fine to disagree with him, but I don't think you can interpret it to mean you agree with one another. This of course leaves ...

"Auschwitz cannot be explained nor can it be visualized. The person who lived through it cannot explain it. The person who did not live through it wil...

You say what you must, which is to say you mean what you say.

I know that trick. The pint glass that's not really a pint.

Everybody wants to be a cat because a cat's the only cat that knows where it's at. https://youtu.be/_I1_5mSXinQ

"Everyone" might be an overstatement.

Yes, salad!! I'll bring a pitcher of water and some stools to sit on. What else can we not bring to make for the perfect austerity party?

Of course. What's a party without BBQ?

And I joined on the 21st. And it was evening and it was morning on the second day. I suggest a get together.

Great flick.

Christian fundamentalism with its empahsis on literalism began in the 19th century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_fundamentalism The idea th...

Funny you should say that because I used to hate beets, but as I have aged, they have become one of my favorite root vegetables. I prefer fresh boiled...

I came up with what I think is really good idea related to your toilet paper suggestion, although mine is more of a prank, a gag, if you will. The pap...

Wiping your ass with the Bible is so passe. I'm sure the first guy who did it shocked the crowd, but now it's just what people do who can't come up wi...

Totally get it. And that's why you just said what you said, not necessarily because you mean it, but just because you had to say it. If you tell me th...
