Most calendar EOD prophecies have very little to nothing to do with our current calendar. Campings is based on solar and lunar movements, not the calendar itself. The mayan thing is about the Mayan calendar, which I'm fairly confident wasn't butchered by Caesar. Now, that certainly doesn't give them any credibility, but let's at least not mock them beyond the extremely deserving amount :-)

meteors worked last time...

"I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."

You should probably read the section before that. At the beginning of the chapter, Jesus said in reference to the temple that not one stone would be left on another. The disciples then asked him when these things would happen, and he proceeded into a rather lengthy explanation with one "rabbit trail" into the end times to address/correct the idea that Jews thought the end of the world would come when the temple was destroyed. He then wrapped it up by answering their initial question of when the prophecy about the temple would come to pass. The structure of the passage makes a lot of sense when you think of the flow of a conversation. People tend to not really look at the surrounding text when talking about this verse and instead take it out of the context of the conversation, a dangerous practice albeit a common one on both sides.

FYI, destruction of the temple was around 70 A.D. Within the timing of the current generation prophecy.

That argument never works. The people who originally found out were not informed by their own post, so it stands to reason that someone else can definitely figure it out as well.

I agree with you, I'm just saying if apple does something drastic, the labels may respond in like. Whereas google has no ties with them right now (at least that I'm aware of, maybe I'm wrong).

The label companies have leverage on apple though, they pull out of iTunes and chaos ensues.

The vote on Joint Resolution 114 was taken on October 11, 2002. It passed the Senate by a vote of 77 to 23, and the House of Representatives by a vote of 296 to 133. Yeah, you're right, no-one supported that. Especially not an overwhelming 75% of the Senate and two-thirds of the House. I believe public opinion polls hovered around 70-80% as well. Don't be daft, 20/20 hindsight isnt a particularly special gift.

The patent is essentially over a mapping of architecture and content of a document in XML. It describes using a mapping scheme to map the two together thus separating them from being stored solely in the document. It's essentially a patent that describes nothing whatsoever beyond storing information about a document performing a particular form of hashing. Shouldn't be a patent.

He asked them to provide him with background on the politicians and a methodology to get them to support the war. This guy did less than McDonalds does to sell a big mac, and the guy who "blew the whistle" has an overinflated view of his "skills and training".

Really? Maybe spell-check should have been used on TFA.

You know from experience how creationists behave? Wow, what a ridiculous generalization. You accept something as a rule because you have no experience outside of it.

I've had multiple conversations about creationism online, and I can't think of any where it's been a single post. Your assumption has no standing, and that's what your argument is at best, an assumption.

Have you taken the course? Is that really the requirement?
You're assuming that they post and never return to the site but the course requirement is ambiguously worded, which in my experience generally means the professor gives more distinction in class.
How do you know the professor doesn't mean 10 consecutive posts in a thread?
