Or a more reliable translation of Exodus21:20-21

 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result,but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

The idea behind this law,of course,is to have a fairness in punishment.If a slave dropped dead two weeks later,no one could say "Well,Henry hit Joe a fortnight ago.It must be murder!" The incidents being most likely unrelated.
But at least Falconer is getting in the spirit of the thread,unlike others I know....

Well, Johnnie, in what century does your imagination exist?  Once again you are trying to prove what kind of a complete moron you are.  We grew up out of slavery many, many years ago.  Any debate or discussion about when it's right to beat our slaves, or when it's justified to kill them is depraved and insane as far as I'm concerned.

I'm eagerly awaiting your next justification for slavery and how we should all best discipline our slaves.  Idiot.......

Debate & Discuss / Re: Food stamps for fast food
« on: September 27, 2012, 11:39:52 pm »Message ID: 612251
This is something that I can see as being highly debateable. In one case, people use food stamps in a grocery store so why not fastfood? On the other hand fast food often cost more than going to a grocery store and preparing the food themselves. The taxpayers are paying for foodstamps and the less that is used means it gets to be distributed to more people. I am on foodstamps, and can see both sides. Still, I do not think it should be allowed at fast food places. Plus I think buying the food and preparing it yourself is often more healthy.
Heres a salvation message. I hope you are interested.
Romans
Chapter 3
1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
 
2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
 
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
 
4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
Psa 51:4
 
5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
 
6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
 
7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
 
8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
 
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
 
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Psa 14:1, 53:1 Ecc 7:20
 
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Psa 14:2, 53:2
 
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Psa 14:3, 53:3
 
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Psa 5:9, 140:3
 
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Psa 10:7
 
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Isa 59:7 Prov 1:16
 
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
Isa 59:7
 
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Isa 59:8
 
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Isa 59:8
 
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
 
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
 
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
 
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
 
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
 
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
 
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
 
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
 
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
 
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
 
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
 
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
 
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
 
Romans 3 KJV

What does all this psycho-babble have to do with a discussion about fast food?  Circumcision/fast food, I don't see the connection, can you explain that?  Almost certainly not.

Just one more idiot saying "hello."

Oh just ignore everything you don't like like the rest of us do. The more ammunition you give some the more they wil flaunt their so called expertise.  Those of who have faith know it cannot be shaken.

Most doctors hate cancer, but should that stop them form attempting to find a cure and just ignore the problem? And what kind of expertise are you talking about? I don't need to be an expert of the bible to not believe in it, nor even to argue against it. I doubt you are an expert of these following text:

The Mabinogion
The Book of the Dead
Amduat
Theogony
Brahmanas
The Qur'an
The Torah
The Talmud
The Ginza Rba
the Book of Giants
Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health
Book of Shadows
The Yasna
The Vedas
Or Even The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

All are considered real religious text (Perhaps with the exception of that last one) and this list doesn't even cover a fraction of the text that are out there. I highly doubt anyone can be considered an expert on all religions (even is someone where to study it for decades). We are all guilty of ignorance but that doesn't mean we cannot argue and that doesn't mean that all of our arguments are unfounded. Most athiest's arguments are done out of principle, not expertise, and apply to all religious because they argue against the foundations that define what a religion even is.

Take two steps back, Flackie, I'm a fervent, almost fanatic, believer in the Flying Spaghetti Monster, although, in my religion, we call him the "Floating Spaghetti Spirit."

Have you ever been to Italia?  I have, quite a number of times.  Do you know the Italiano use nothing more than a fork, no knife, no spoon, to eat their spaghetti?  Just some friendly information from me to you.

Keep practicing with that fork, the best ones are with a rounded handle; and show some proper respect to the "Spaghetti Spirit."

To southernhorizons:

I would never look down on a person like you, I don't know enough about you and I truly hope your financial circumstances become much better in the future.  I was talking about some of my neighbors where I live.  I mean the ones who leave all their outside lights on all night and, when we compare electrical bills, find that theirs is 3 times as high as mine.  No idea about what they do inside their homes but, considering their bills, it must be just as wasteful.  Some who have 2 cars and a pick-up truck, none of which are paid for, a cell phone for husband, wife and 2 of the kids.  Credit card debt with enormous interest payments, and then they cry about the fact that they don't make enough money to live from month to month, even though the husband and wife both work.

As for me, yes, I had to work pretty hard in the Army, and we put in some pretty long hours, but, like I said, I don't work anymore.  I'll give myself credit for that and for the fact that I've been very financially responsible my whole life.  As far as my present circumstances, I'm just a fortunate beneficiary of fortuitous circumstances.  My brother, in Germany, wanted to open a second business and he asked me to come over and manage his first business, a bowling center, and he paid me a generous salary.  I rented out the townhouse where I lived and I didn't need the rent money or my military retirement pay over in Germany.  Rent is cheaper over there and I was able to shop at a nearby US commissary and PX where prices were about 60% of what they are on the German economy, so I ended up with hundreds of dollars left over every month, in spite of the fact that I traveled all over Europe and was living pretty well over there.  Additionally, the business paid for my car, car repairs and my cell phone.  That all left me with a good amount of monthly cash that I didn't need for anything else so I was able to pay off the remainder of my first mortgage in just a little over 2 years.  Now I had that rent, retirement pay and extra from my job, so I was able to accumulate over $50,000 in about 2 years.  With that, I flew back to the US and used most of it as a down payment on a second townhouse, which I immediately rented out.  Of course, now I had 2 rents, retirement pay and extra money from my job in Germany, it wasn't any great challenge to pay off that second mortgage in less that 5 years.  Now, for my remaining (almost) 3 years in Germany, that income just accumulated.  I don't need to tell you how much money can pile up if you have several thousand dollars every month that you don't need to use.  Knowing that I was coming back to the US, I didn't buy a 3rd property, but it wasn't any problem to pay cash for 2 cars, put in about $30,000 for maintenance and improvements on my properties, buy some furniture, a desk top computer, 2 laptops and all electrical appliances and still have a comfortable amount of money left over.  (I had to leave all my electrical appliances in Germany, they're useless here, they have 220V over there and it's 110V here.)

So you see, there's no wizardry here, these are all things that fall into the category of those things that "any dam fool can accomplish."  I just got lucky with these circumstances, and I truly wish the same luck for you.    
Thank you very much for the very nice wishes. I'm sorry if my posts seemed harsh. I'm glad you had good circumstances and sense enough to use your resourses wisely. My attack on using credit cards wasn't meant to be absolute, I know there are exceptions to every rule. But many people, especially if they are living paycheck to paycheck, would be better off not using them. Even if they budget well, and keep up with the payments, one unexpected medical bill or other financial emergency can very easily start the downward spiral to unmanageable debt.
By the way, I don't think my assumptions were too presumptuous. Judging from the way I was brought up, and even my current situation, you are well-to-do, even though you aren't "rich." Everybody I guess has different ideas of wealth. You admitted yourself that your situation was unusual in the US. I certainly don't begrudge your situation, in fact I'm happy that you were able to do that well. But for the majority of people probably on this forum, trying to copy your credit card spending would only get them into trouble, so I was just trying to point out that you were the exception, not the rule. A lot of times it is people's own fault, but a lot of times it isn't. I know I'll never be able to retire early, or maybe not at all with the social security mess, but I do hope to be able to buy a house and pay it off early. I try to save as much as I can; right now I'm living in my parent's house; I pay rent, and some groceries, as well as insurance, and utilities, but at least I don't have a full grocery bill, and some other expenses. So I can't complain, I'm really not that bad off. I just don't have the income to save as much as I like. One thing that put me behind was being laid off for almost three years;  I used up all my savings and started borrowing money, so when i finally got a job, I had to pay off all that, plus get another vehicle since mine was on its last leg. So finally I'm able to start saving again. At least I avoided credit card debt, though. My vehicle is decent, but it's got 130,000 miles on it, so I know I'll have to start putting money into it. I always say you don't have any money when you have a vehicle, even though of course a vehicle is necessary to get to work! I just wish they weren't so expensive to maintain!

I didn't detect any harshness from you, I wasn't offended by your comments.  "Well-to-do" is a relative term.  I would describe my situation, with all due modesty, as "comfortable."

I'll tell you how I play the credit card game, I'm convinced you're smart enough to understand.  In February of this year my brother came over from Germany,  He owns 3 properties in this area and one of them was unoccupied and needed maintenance.  I charged all supplies, a carpeting company and a clothes dryer on my Discover card and he paid me cash for those charges.  That month I had total charges of $3951.  They were also running some kind of 5% cashback bonus then, I don't remember what, so I got just under $50 cashback credit.  In March my brother, my wife and I all flew to Seattle from Baltimore, my brother and I used to live in Seattle.  I charged airline tickets, hotels, car rentals, restaurant meals and everything else possible on my card.  When we got back, my brother had additional purchases, clothing, toys for his kid, a little more maintenance costs on his property, all on my card which he paid me for in cash.  I had $6027 in charges that month, but with the 5% bonus, I got over $70 cashback from Discover.  Additionally, the credit union I've been banking with for many years allows me 2 balance transfers per year and pays me 1% for those balances.  Of course, they hope that I'll convert debts to their institution and start paying them interest, I've never paid any interest on any credit card.  So I transferred that "debt" of $6027 to my credit union and then paid off my bill a few days later by transferring that sum from my money market account.  That particular month I made over $130 cashback bonus from 2 credit/banking institutions.

This month I had to pay city taxes and water usage fees for one of my properties and one of my brother's properties, a total of $2199.80, that transaction alone will give me just under $22.00 cash back.  (That city accepts the Discover card with no fees or charges, very unusual.)  I'll get some of that money back from one of my brother's rent checks, made out in my name because I manage his properties.  Additionally, Discover is running a 5% bonus for gasoline until the end of September, I'll fill the tank on both cars before the month ends, that will bring my total up to about $32.00 and I'm sure I'll have at least another $1000 in routine charges, so that will bring the total cashback to about $42.00.  With the large tax charge and a total credit card bill of over $3500.00 for the month of September, it's a good time to use that second per annum balance transfer benefit from my credit union and get another $35.00 from the 1% cashback that they give me, that will get me almost $80.00 cashback from both institutions.  Next month (Oct, Nov, Dec) Discover is offering a 5% bonus for any department store and internet purchases, guess who you know who isn't making any of those kind of purchases until 1 October.  They have a limit of $1500 for a total cashback of $75 for those 3 months, but I can pretty well guarantee you that I'll find a way to get the full $75 benefit.

I estimate that I get at least $600, probably over $700 a year cashback from my credit cards.  All you have to do is make sure you never have any interest charges.  I understand this doesn't work for everyone, but it works very well for me.    

Some of you may be able to use this information.

I haven't done this nearly effectively enough, there's much more money to be made, I should have done this much more effectively years ago.

I was always doing balance transfers during the months that I had the highest credit card bills, now, checking on this with my credit union, I found out they send a paper check as a balance transfer.  I always "assumed" they did an internet transfer and I know I can't transfer funds for any amount higher than the balance owed, Discover Card doesn't allow you to transfer a higher amount than you owe, I don't know why that is.  Since they send a check, there's no restriction on any amount they send.  Because I have a $10,000 limit on my Visa card with that credit union, I told them to forward a check for $10,000 to my Discover card.  My credit union gave me an immediate credit of 1%, $100 for that balance transfer, a very easy $100 made for a visit to my credit union and a phone call.  Two days later I transferred the remaining $9,900 that I owed from my money market account to my Visa account in my credit union to eliminate that debt.  I don't know, but I'll find out, what Discover will do with the extra thousands of dollars my credit union sent.  Some years ago they sent me back a check.  It doesn't really matter to me, if they don't send me a check, I'll just keep charging and not have any monthly bill until the extra amount is used up.

The next thing I did was to contact my credit union and request an increase in the credit allowed on my Visa account.  The maximum amount they allow is $30,000, so I requested the full amount.  I'm hoping for the full $30,000, whatever the amount, I'll do two more balance transfers next year and collect the 1%.  It's very easy money if you have enough cash to pay off any balances before you have any interest payments.

If my credit union grants me the $30,000 in credit, with two balance transfers per year, that will give me an extra $600 income per year.  Not a lot of money, but very easy money for doing almost nothing.  If they give me a lower limit, I'll transfer the maximum amount to Discover twice a year, whatever that amount may be.  If I keep paying off the transferred amount two days later, which I can easily do, they'll eventually give me the maximum limit of $30,000.

The next thing I'm doing is researching other credit cards and balance transfers to see if this is possible for moving money around and making the 1% with a number of other credit cards.

Another newly invented word for all the illiterates out there, "noone."  No, it's not intended to mean "noon," as in 12 o'clock noon, it's another made up word for people who never learned to read or write and a word that the rest of us are expected to understand as "no one."

Of course i realize your value of them so dont even bother answering.

Sounds like you woulda made a good wheelchair salesman too.I just put a deposit on 1 after i heard that intro.

Hitch, once again you credit falcon with a comment that I made, I'm the guy who was talking about sending useless cowards into a minefield to clear the way for the real soldiers.  I'd appreciate it if you could at least give me a little credit for my own comments, but you can't even seem to remember comments from even a few days ago.  I recommend that you start taking a few notes, maybe it will help you from looking like such a confused fool.

I know I'd get more if I asked for social security later, but it doesn't make much sense in my case.  I only have 2 properties here, towhouses with mortgages paid off, one I'm living in and the other rented.  I'll sell the one I'm living in and buy a condo in Germany.  You would know that I also get my military retirement pay, but if my second property is ever empty for any period of time, that won't be enough money to make for a comfortable life style.  That's why I'm waiting to leave until I get my minimum social security, just to be sure I always have enough.  Additionally, I'll also be getting a retirement pay, not much, from the German government for the years I worked over there.

Understood; in your instance, it wouldn't make waiting worth the difference.  The reason I'd mentioned the option was that I had been weighing the options and difference in SS benefits to 'early retirement' and waiting longer.  While I no longer own a rental property, (having sold it just before the real estate values plunged), I have other recurring income from investments which survived the market nose-dives and can wait or collect SS once I turn 62.66.

I could tell you stories about the marijuana in Holland, but I'd better not, although, maybe you know already.  The Dutch cultivators have gotten so good at refining their product that, shortly before I left Europe, the marijuana was more potent than the hashish.

(I only know that because that's what some of my friends told me.)

If you get the chance, go to Amsterdam, a very beautiful and exceptional city.

My ever-helpful cousins have kept me posted about the doings in the polderlands.  It is a you say.  Over all, Holland is a small but, generally beautiful place.  The train ride through the countryside and on to neighboring lowland countries, (Belgium was nice), is worth the Euros.  A for Amsterdam, I suppose we'll go since there' at least an aunt & uncle to visit out that way.

Holland may not be very large, but the enterprising Dutch have been the envy of success for all of Europe for many centuries.  Even today, that "small" nation has a per capita gross domestic product slighty larger than Russia, which is still the largest nation, geographically, on the planet.

Just do the math, what's the difference in benefits?  Of course you'll get more, but how many years will it take you to make up for the benefits you gave up by waiting, and how long can you be "guaranteed" to live, another entirely unknown factor.

Well, I see we've gotten way off the topic of daily bible myths, but who cares about that nonsense anyway?

I'm not in Deutschland anymore, I returned to Maryland about 2 1/2 years ago.  I retired when I left Germany and have been working on maintenance and improvements on my properties here.  My last stay in Germany was for almost 12 years in Koblenz.  Before then I had 3 assignments there with the Army, Berlin, Karlsruhe and Mannheim, in that order.  I'll be returning to Germany in a little over 2 years when I turn 62 and can start getting social security payments.  The only reason I chose Maryland to return to is because I retired from the Army here and bought my properties in this area.

It's been years since I was over there - Ramstein on TDY.  Nice area, away from base.  As for retiring, you'd get a bit more if you waited past 62 but, one has to do what works best for them and disregard the rest.
 
If you've spent any amount of time in Nederland, you've undoubtedly noticed the lovely ladies that reside there.  I have fond memories of them perched upon their bicycle seats, it's amazing what those daily bike rides can do for a woman's legs and buttocks.  Good luck trying to find an overweight woman in Holland, not at all like it is here where obesity seems to be the new normal female figure.

The last time I was in Amsterdam, driving around the center of town, the women on bicycles were intentionally getting in my way.  I was driving around in my Audi A6 and that's considered to be a relatively big car in Europe, it also didn't gain me much sympathy that I had German plates on the car.  You know the narrow streets there, I clearly didn't belong there and the local ladies let me know it.

We didn't get into Amsterdam much from Rotterdam but, the bicyclists, (male and female), are rampant there too. At least three of them were my female cousins in their 20s.  Doubtless they waved, (or made some sort of European hand gestures).

It's also the only country I've ever been to where you can walk around in crowded downtown Rotterdam or Amsterdam and smell marijuana because the 2 or 3 people walking in front of you are passing a joint.  That's technically against the law in Holland, but they don't worry much about minor offenses like that there.

A very friendly nation and almost everybody there speaks excellent English, and, yeah, the beer is very good there too.

Yes, I recall the public and Dutch police looked the other way at marijuana and hashish there.  Although there were some parts of southern California where one would also walk through 'pot clouds' on occassion as well.  You mentioned the beer and yes, it's so good that my Dutch dad had that and a gouda cheese "tire" imported from Rotterdam twice a year.  Good stuff.

I know I'd get more if I asked for social security later, but it doesn't make much sense in my case.  I only have 2 properties here, townhouses with mortgages paid off, one I'm living in and the other rented.  I'll sell the one I'm living in and buy a condo in Germany.  You would know that I also get my military retirement pay, but if my second property is ever empty for any period of time, that won't be enough money to make for a comfortable life style.  That's why I'm waiting to leave until I get my minimum social security, just to be sure I always have enough.  Additionally, I'll also be getting a retirement pay, not much, from the German government for the years I worked over there.

< I should add, as further clarification, that the lease on my other property runs for about 2 more years, so it's an additional reason for me to stay here for that length of time in order to get another, or the same, renter with a lease signed for as long as possible before I leave.>

Next time i come down ill protect you with a 5 iron.LOL!!

Hitch, I keep 2 loaded .357 magnum revolvers near at hand in my home.  They're loaded with 110 grain semi-jacketed hollow point bullets that are known to make a very small (.357") hole going into your body, but a much larger hole after the hydrostatic shock and when they leave your torso.  I couldn't possibly miss you, I've had a lot of practice with a variety of firearms and I always qualified as "Expert" with pistol, as well as rifle, during all my years in the service.  You'll have to be very fast with that 5 iron, you might be able to get into my home, but, I guarantee you, you won't be walking out again.

Just one more idiotic comment from you to show us all what an absolute clown you are, thanks for the free entertainment.

Everybody is talking about prices going up, in some cases they are, but the fundamental idea of prices going up is incorrect.  What's really happening is that your dollar is worth less year after year, that's the real problem.  Prices for certain products can go up and down, like for a barrel of crude oil, coffee is another example.  If the price of everything is increasing, it means that your currency is worth less and less every year, and that's what you should really be worrying about.
