Now I'm really offended. I was a Math nerd, not a science nerd. I'm also convinced that Goat was not the jock, he was actually routinely beaten up by nerds. All the jocks I knew outgrew the...

Talk to Mike about Football then. Not me. That was between Mike and me. I asked HIM for the rationale, not you. Tell you what, I'll ignore you first, then you ignore me. Fair enough?

That is fair enough, I was only pointing out that based on your initial explanation for the stat predictions, they are WAY too determinative. If that is now how you want it, that's fine. I'll say...

And I don't feel I'm taking it as seriously as Goat is. The personal insults are sort of a clue. I realize he is what he is, but I don't take kindly to them.

Let's see if this mental midget can explain it slowly enough so that you can understand.

#1: I predict scores better than you.
#2: You're ahead in the standings.
#3: Mike clearly stated that the...

Let's just be clear about what's going on, that's all. Call it the "meaningless statistic prediction contest". "Oh, and if you get close to the score, we may give you a few extra bonus points."

So Mike, what is the formula? For example, both Goatnapper and I missed the score by a combined total of 3 points. I get 9 points and he gets 22 points? How is getting ToP right factoring in that...

I like this notion. Spirituality itself is in a sense "the path". And it (whatever it really is) is so multifaceted and different for each person. Given this, how anyone could ever claim it as a...

Jeffs may not have perpetuated the abuse *in this case*, but c'mon. It is practically akin to two young trusting kids who are placed in front of a video camera by a sicko pervert. Of course the man...

That's a common myth perpetuated by apologists (at least in terms of 19th century america). Underage marriage then was no more common then than it is now. In fact, iirc, the average age of menarche...

His methods and practices weren't much different from Jeffs'. He may or may not have been a prophet (just for the sake of argument), but either way his advances/threats toward teenagers and...
