Quoting from a theological dictionary: God's intention and desire to bless humanity is a central focus of his covenant relationships. For this reason, the concept of blessing pervades the biblical record. Two distinct ideas are present. First, a blessing was a public declaration of a favored status with God. Second, the blessing endowed power for prosperity and success. In all cases, the blessing served as a guide and motivation to pursue a course of life within the blessing. Considering the prosperity in the US, especially relative to the rest of the world, for the past century or two, I'd say this fits. Although I do feel that we are in the process of losing that status, and we will watch the demise of this great nation. http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionaries/bakers-evangelical-dictionary/blessing.html

I bet you'd still get your ass whooped, AC! Muhahaha

We're (the US) one of Israel's strongest and most powerful allies (sans the weakened support by the current administration). Your "Israel" comment is buffoonery. As an aside, the day our support for Israel stops, so will our existence as a "blessed" nation. (Replace "blessed" with any positive adjective ascribable to our "greatest nation on God's green earth").

LOL - wish I had points for making me laugh.

LMAO! One of the funniest posts I've seen here. "Man card"! HAHAHA

YEAH! What ^he^ said, DOUCHE BAG!

It's a BYOD poll - hahaha

I had to google "Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster". I've never seen that movie. Does this make me less of a nerd? I don't understand Dr. Who, either. Maybe I'm in the wrong place. lol.

Quoted from that thread: "The whole story is bullshit too, as Asustek has denied Microsoft asking for royalties..."

Unbelievable! They start moving in a direction that they've been criticized for NOT moving in/adopting and what's the response from the /. snots? I guess it takes some honor/courage/maturity to give credit when it's due.

I know this is going to sound blasphemous, but /. should have a "Like" button for posts that you like, but are just lazy enough to not feel like typing anything.

Great post!

Really?
