Welcome! 

As for whether or not red hair is evil and should be covered the answer is YES!!!!!  Everyone knows that gingers have no soul and their bite will inflict even the most innocent child with a soulless condition.  Gina knows this and tries to trick people into friending her.  I know this too, which is why I try to never have friends.  I wouldn't want to "accidentally" bite them and steal their soul.


She gave me rabies.   :panic:

So, at page 6, this may have already been asked, but what's your take on Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons?  How do the Iranian people view Israel.  It's fairly clear to us how Iran's leadership views Israel.

Won't happen, the IRI would fall before it happens, most people who estimate the amount of time IRI will take to create a nuclear weapon are political writers or analysts who aren't qualified to give a true date.

Iran and Israel have no historic animus, take the liberation of the Hebrews from Babylonian captivity for instance. The IRI's hatred of Israel is based off alien ideologies like Arab nationalist and pan-Islamist ideology. As for Israelis as individuals I have an Israeli (he's Jewish but remember that not all Israelis are Jewish, there are alot of Druze, Bedouin, Arab, etc... Israelis) friend online, he's very cool.

Just kidding.

I wouldn't call myself a Muslim after I read the famous Epicurus quote (“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”) but I probably wouldn't call myself an Atheist either because Atheism doesn't answer who created the universe, the big bang, and everything at the start. So I can't practice taqiyya because I'm not a Muslim but I can lie, I assure you I'm not lieng though.

I personally believe that free will is the defense to Epicurus' paradox, but that would derail the thread for sure.  Maybe some other time we could discuss that.

Great point you make.

If there was no God, no God force, no eternal divine power, and no afterworld: what would be the purpose of existence on this world? If at the end you are eternally gone then what is the point of this world? The typical Atheist may say that it is to derive pleasure from the mortal world but are humans such primitive beasts that their only call on the earth is to derive pleasure in their morality? If so then what's the point of existence? If existence merely ends with death and there is no future beyond it then what is the purpose of life, why do feelings of spirituality and communion with God exist?

Scientists try to say that Near Death Experiences is nothing more than a final experience before the death. However this contradicts nature, because the body would have no evolutionary purpose to exert energy at the last moment of life before death to give a human a meaningless Near Death Expierience that would only lead to their final death in pitch darkness forever.

Onions chopped and mixed into the ground beef mixed with salt, black pepper is the traditional recipe.

2 spoon for every 1kg is the regular amount you want.

Here you can see a professional recipe he uses a much more advanced recipe

Cyrus, you're doing well here. Good discussions, good questions, and great answers.  :cheersmate:

Uh.... Do you drink alcoholic beverages? Just curious.

And I'd surmise that Rugnuts' question about marinade could be answered a la the Greeks - olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, fennel, oregano. But I'm just guessin'.
