Would you take it and become a eunuch?
I’ll answer, Personally I wouldn’t do it…would you?[/quote]
A eunuch has his balls removed, not his dick
No, I wouldn’t, but make it five million and I’ll get a vasectomy.

Varq, you live on the North American continent. Here in the land of the free and home of the brave, and the Canucks, we don’t say, “maths.” We simply don’t say it. It doesn’t matter about that other tripe you proffered. We don’t say it. Get that?
;-)[/quote]
Well, here in my particular section of the North American continent, we also pronounce “creek” so that it rhymes with “shriek” and “coyote” so that it rhymes with “peyote”.
So there.
:P[/quote]
Coyotes high on peyote are known to shriek loudly when they run through the creek.[/quote]
Reading that in a Pushharder voice:
(Ahem)
“Kah-yotes high on pay-yote are known to shrick loudly when they run through the crick.”[/quote]
Shit, I’d get a vasectomy for ONE Million…don’t be greedy.
So then, what your saying is that an unnecessary part of your “life” is worth refusing
10 million dollars for, Life’s pretty “valuable” huh Varq?..Maaaannnn, just think of how you could
invested it and parlay that into a fortune to bequeath it to your loved ones…But NOOO,
you thought of yourself first, and possibly left your kids wanting and working for someone else
the rest of their lives, all because you wanted to keep your wee wee…

I say with great embarrassment that I forgot a good deal of the math I learned in high school. I simply had no need to use algebra and beyond.[/quote]
This first time I ever saw this pic my first thought was, “Fuck how’d he get 3…”
I remember crushing Geometry my freshman year of HS and cruised through Trig as well. 10 years later I can’t even solve for x in what has to be the simplest problem in the history of Geometry.
Use it or lose it. Fuck.
[/quote]
3,4,5 triangle, bitches.
Probably the only thing I remember from geometry, other than the Pythagorean theorem.
Edit: and it basically is the Pythagorean theorem, anyway[/quote]
Lol, still not ringing any bells…[/quote]
A squared plus B squared = C squared
4 x 4 plus X squared = 5 x 5
16 plus X squared = 25
25 minus 16 = 9
Square root of 9 is 3.
X = 3.
Remember now?
[/quote]
Ding ding ding!
4^2+X^2=5^2
16+X^2=25
X^2=9
X=3
God I’m an idiot…

It is not. I have been to England, and they do not say “Maths are fun” or “The subjects are maths.”
They say “Maths is fun” and “The subject is math.”
They treat it as a singular same as we do.
You could argue that it was originally plural in Greek. Mathematika means all things mathematical. In English however despite changing the a to an s to reflect its plurality, the word was quickly changed to a singular in our language. The modern English definition of mathematics is “the study of numbers, measurements, properties yada yada yada”. Study being singular, as is the word.
Why do you always draw me into such frivolous semantic debates Varq?

It is plural but can be treated as singular. It can also be used in a plural construction: The mathematics that are at work in this process are very hard to understand.

Shit, has high school really degraded that much in this country?
I learned all of that, AND the Pythagorean theorem, AND how to invest in the stock market and real estate, AND firearms safety and marksmanship, AND first aid and CPR, before leaving high school.

It must have. I learned non of the things listed and that was 10 years ago.
We did learn CPR and the Pythagorean theorem.
Varq communicated lovingly: “Would you give up your life right now if it meant that your loved ones would never be hungry or poor for the rest of their lives?”
As long as it’s quick and painless… BTW Jesus Christ never lied, so I’m assured paradise on that sacrifice rather than worrying were the fuck I was ending up as a very flawed believer anyway…thanks!
Interesting you didn’t answer your own question, be careful how you do though, you don’t have any faith where you’re ultimately gonna end up yet…I sense you are agnostic and your posts overall seem to defend Islam more so than Christianity.
Fence sitters are the worst kind in God’s eyes…Interesting that the very first people who get thrown into the lake of fire, are the cowards.

According to Revelation 20:15, everyone whose name isn’t written in the Book of Life gets thrown into the lake of fire, cowardly and brave alike. 21:8 goes on to say that their number will include cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and liars, but doesn’t specify in which order they will be thrown in. Would it really matter?
Revelation says that there won’t be any ocean in the new heaven and new earth, so that kinda sucks if one is into surfing or sailing or deep-sea fishing.
The Quran says that Paradise is open to Muslims, Jews and Christians alike (and Jewbacca has hinted that there is room in Jewish heaven for righteous Gentiles). It goes on to say that believers and the righteous will have gardens with rivers flowing beneath them, and pure companions with whom they will abide for eternity.
So you know? Choosing a religion is kind of like choosing a pickup truck. You got yer Chevys, and you got yer Fords, and you got yer Dodges. A Ford man thinks Chevys are crap. A Chevy man thinks Dodges are crap. And a Dodge man? Well, he knows that Chevys and Fords are crap.
Me? I drive a Toyota.
So you’re looking at Islam then, that’s fine…I like how their Paradise sounds, all I’m saying
now is to stop drivin’ that rice burner and pick a side…not trying to put you in that uncomfortable
psychological ‘‘corner’’ many Christians tend to do that I fucking hate BTW, that’s not how
it’s done IMO…
Do I have ‘‘problems’’ with my faith that I question? Of 'Course I do, MANY, but thank
goodness we’re don’t have to know every single thing about it…I guess that’s why they call it “faith”,
no matter what Religion you may choose.

A Coward is someone who submits to fear rather than finding the courage to face it down. Some of us look at organized religion as peddlers of fear. Threatening your soul will go here or there depending on whether and how much you buy into this or that belief.
Who is the braver person? The jihadist suicide bomber, or the agnostic or atheist dude who was killed defending people against the bomber? The Agnostic/Atheist has no comfort or belief in an afterlife and does what he believes is right regardless of Gods existence.
According to you, I’m a coward. Thanks, and Semper Fi.

Well then you don’t know much about organized religion. Believe it or not, and I am guessing not, that we have no interest in threatening people’s soul. We only strive to be the best we can be, understand that we are fallible and overcome our weaknesses. We strive to have the best relationship with God that we can.
You have the mainstream media view of religion. Understanding only what you are fed by them, which is far from the reality of it.
It’s not about threatening hell if you don’t walk right.

A person with a fucked up understanding doesn’t make them a bad person or a coward. Doing the right thing is always the right thing. The good news is in the end, we all get to find out who was right.
