What I have ascertained is not that PCs as we know them lack good design, but that PCs as we know them have hardly any design to speak of. I'm not trying to be insulting. Use a Mac for a week, and we'll talk again.
Hehe. And here's the comic:

"…I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than
you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods,
you will understand why I dismiss yours." - Stephen F. Roberts

HAhAHAA!

Reminds me of broke mac mountain.

That said I've done the exact same thing to tons of guys in dorm... not hitting on them while they use their Macs, but I'm like the THE Mac guy on campus, I'll find them freeware apps for stuff, or teach them how to fix things if they go wrong, all this other stuff... it's kinda funny the strange respect and reverence they give me.

Hehe, I was anticipating this...

there are some indicators in this thread, an evolutionary look near the bottom of it....

"Switched" is probably an unfair term. They've added the mac to their setup. Of course.. that's how it starts. First you just use it occasionally, then a little more. Then the urge grows stronger...

Edit: Well, I take it back. He's been using it all week.

BTW, I'm not thrilled about the mac user community being wholly associated with homosexuality. (I know it's just a comic, I'm not bent out of shape or anything)

The only thing for certain is that Jesus would hate you.

Of Course Jesus would love Gay people. He would not support their choices in terms of sexuality, but he still loves them.

Sorry, That was my fault I guess.

At any rate, I'm glad the guys over at PA have gotten a Mac.

Um... they switched teams?
Bush Tax Cuts == Job Killer
June 2001: 132,047,000 employed
June 2003: 129,839,000 employed
2.21 million jobs were LOST after 2 years of Bush Tax Cuts.

Huh? Jesus is a cool dude man. He loves everyone. Even if they don't accept him.

You are no better than any homosexual on the planet.

I am beginning to think you secretly WANT him to be gay. For perverse reasons...

Yeah, Chuck/Charles has been in PA since the early days. There was a big hoo-hah about Quake III's beta being released on the Mac first.

Not trying to pick a fight Kevin, my beef with the original poster was that he pretended to know Jesus mind when all he did was to project his own opinion.

He also forbids premarital sex, but a lot of people do it anyways.

You've read that in a book, right?

And Kevin is 100% right in his assessment.

It seems that many of the threads get off tract. Just some good comic relief.

God also said we were all sinners. And a sin, is a sin, is a sin.

We are all in the same boat my friend.

You are no better.

You must have missed the whole "Those that are sinless cast the first stone" part of the Bible.

Yeah, it's my opinion, but I have no reason to be believe otherwise. In terms of scripture, there's plenty to suggest that Jesus loves everyone, in spite of their sinful behavior.

I'm not taking some random idea and projecting it on to Christ to strengthen my argument... Jesus loves people. I haven't said anything more.
