He mentions at one point in the video how he doesn't want his tax dollars to be used when people sue companies for giving them shitty drugs. Just shows you how governemtn involvement in one area can completely fuck up something else. Like how people will say that government should be able control your body, if it pays your medical bills (like it or not)

well, it's Hebrew. and it's "Chuwg", not "Chwg". dwr is actually "duwr" or "dur". what you wrote was a direct transliteration of the written words. sur eyou knew it, but it has to be clear to others.

it's worth pointing out though that the meanings you provide aren't exact: "Duwr" doesn't necessarily mean sphere: it simply refers to anything round, since it's used to refer to the encirclement of cities in the Old testament (how many ball shaped cities do you know?). Arabic is vary similar in that respect (only we call it "Dawr(ah)", to go round would be "daara" (lit. "he went around", we don't have an infinitive.).

Chuwg though is more clear: it refers to any curved objected, in the sense of coins, rainbows, and circles (shapewise). it clearly indicates the belief that the earth was basically a slightly convex circle.

Not unlike pre-islamic Arabian*, or Babylonian beliefs actually.

*the more educated people would have known better, getting their input from Greek or Persian sources, both of whom correctly identified the Earth as a sphere.

A commenter on The Skeptical Libertarian's post about gay marriage:

From my understanding marriage is for the protection of a child so that he can be nurtured by a mother and father until adulthood. Two dads can't breast feed. Two moms don't provide father figures.

So apparently even straight couples who choose not to have children are doing it wrong.

Oh my god this guy is just...wow.

I don't view it as a ban. I view it as the government not recognizing a relationship status.
How about secular straight couples who don't believe in marriage? They don't get government benefits or tax exemptions. Gay couples are being treated as single people and I don't hear single people crying.

Why should gay people get special treatment for their lifestyle choice but not single people?

as usual me in blue and the fail in red.

Or we could, I don't know. STOP assuming the president has some moral superiority or inherent right to murder others altogether. Let's assume you're right though. All things being equal, Am I allowed to murder the president and be shielded from any consequences?

False equivalence.

If he murdered your family then it would be a similar position. But in that case he would be brought to justice, so you wouldn't have to worry about killing him (that's how a legal system works).

Biblical Hebrew doesn't use vowels.

"Duwr" doesn't necessarily mean sphere: it simply refers to anything round,

True, but the point is that it COULD refer to a sphere, and so if Isaiah had known the correct shape of the Earth that word would have been available to him.

[Ibrahim90]

Biblical Hebrew doesn't use vowels.

if you mean the writing system Biblical Hebrew was recorded in, you'd be right: the vowels were and are unwritten--only the consonants. I spelled it with vowels as it would be if it was written using the Latin/Greek style (with vowels).

True, but the point is that it COULD refer to a sphere, and so if Isaiah had known the correct shape of the Earth that word would have been available to him.

no disagreement there: my addition was in case the guy you're arguing (or anyone else), ends up seizing on this (seeming) incomplete definition: I've had it happen to me. it doesn't change the fact that the Bible describes the Earth as a disk, and that "dwr/Dur" would be the word most likely used.

It's a figure of speech. I don't think I'd actually spit in his face. Anyhow, I'm not a statist I'm what you call an actual anarchist. The NAP and capitalist or market property relations cannot co-exist. As Proudhon showed property is theft and theft by it's very nature is coercion. Just becuase you people advocate a decentralized for profit means of coercion doesn't make you any less statist than normal capitalists.

[MrBogosity]

As Proudhon showed property is theft and theft by it's very nature is coercion.

Even Karl Marx understood that was bogus and self-contradictory: theft is the forceful taking of property, so if property is theft, then there would have to be some form of property already existing in order to be stolen. The explanation of where property comes from cannot itself be based on property that exists before then, so saying "property is theft" is the exact same kind of Special Pleading that theists commit when they say "Everything needs to have a cause, so God caused everything." So, God caused God? Property is theft of property?

I wish it were. There are tons of other hilariously major fail videos on there as well.
