Do you get angry when you're getting dominated?
Lol, I've seen and heard tons of people screaming into the mic saying "DUDE! WHAT THE F!! BULL****!!!!"
It's pretty funny. And then they end up rage quitting sooner or later haha.
For me, I've gotten slightly angry maybe a couple times... usually when I'm in a team with level 5's and 0's and I can't even get a single kill. Then that frustrates me but I don't yell into the mic like some people lol. It is pretty annoying when you're getting completely dominated though.
But then in my next game, I come back stronger and use that frustration to completely destroy my opponents and I end up getting 14 kills with 1 death lol.
Just play to have fun guys. I can agree it can get pretty frustrating if you keep dying and you're trying to complete a mission and save your clan but it's a game. And game's are meant to be fun! So just enjoy!! Lol.
Re: Do you get angry when you're getting dominated?
I don't get angry when I get beat by non-laggers. I take my lumps and try again or move on. But yeah, I say all kinds of nasty S#!t to others when the lag is a huge factor.
Re: Do you get angry when you're getting dominated?
I get **bleep** at others that are yelling into the mic how you should be playing when they're doing the worst. I love the "Why are you on the other side of the map?" and bam they're down. Hey dude, ever think that I might be out of ammo and gathering more?
Or the times when I have all four enemy members in my sights and notice al the rest of my team took off in three different directions away from the enemy. In one match I was fighting off three enemy and died to only notice the other members of my team were taking turns shooting one enemy.
Re: Do you get angry when you're getting dominated?[ Edited ]
I do it sometimes when I forget my mic is on. I get frustrated when the game isnt corporatimg. Like running behind a guy to shiv him but it wont shiv even though you are pushing him from behind and have a shiv. Or keep getting spawned by the enemies and getting killed seconds after spawning. Or shooting guy 4 or 5 times in the head and nothing happens, he shots back once and Im down or dead.
Re: Do you get angry when you're getting dominated?
I get upset but I have my standard lines that I say and uhm, thats it. Not too angry as such though... I really am someone who can laugh at the things that happen to me than get mad at them. These are p2p games. Weird stuff WILL happen to you every now and then. Just have fun

Re: Do you get angry when you're getting dominated?

Fiona Woolf tonight announced she had resigned as the head of the inquiry into historic child sex abuse after facing unprecedented pressure to quit.
Representatives of child abuse victims had urged her to stand down over after fresh revelations emerged about her links to former Home Secretary Lord Brittan.
They also criticised her lack of expertise on the subject of child abuse.
In a statement tonight, she said: "I did not think it was going to be possible for me to chair [the inquiry] without everybody's support."
She told the BBC that it has been clear to her for some time that she did not have the confidence of the victims and it was time for her to "get out of the way".
She said: "I was determined that the inquiry got to the bottom of the issues and if I don't command their confidence to run the panel fairly and impartially then I need to get out of the way.
"It has been brewing for some time. Ever since the issue first arose I have been worrying about the negative perceptions and there has been a lot of negative comment and innuendo and that has got in the way as well."
The calls for her resignation came just hours before representatives of child abuse victims were due to meet inquiry officials for the first time and appeared to leave Mrs Woolf, a City lawyer, in an increasingly untenable position at its helm.
Pete Saunders, chief executive of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood, said: "I've yet to meet anybody from the survivor organisations or individual survivors who have any faith in Fiona Woolf's chairship. Her link with Leon Brittan is unquestioned and for that reason alone she should stand down."
Home Secretary Theresa May said she had accepted Mrs Woolf's resignation "with regret".
She said: "I believe she would have carried out her duties with integrity, impartiality and to the highest standard."
Mrs May - who is to make a Commons statement on Monday - said the inquiry panel would continue its work while a new chairman was appointed.
She said: "I decided to set up this inquiry because it's imperative that we establish the extent to which institutions in this country have taken seriously their duty of care towards children. Recent reports from Rotherham and Greater Manchester demonstrate the importance of this work.
"As with Hillsborough, the best way to do this is through an independent panel inquiry. I believe we have a panel which brings a wide range of experience and expertise and one that survivors can have confidence in."Reuse content

The Singular (or Plural) Art of aesthetics
The noun aesthetic is often found used in its plural form. In the plural form, aesthetics can refer to the theory of art and beauty—and in particular the question of what makes something beautiful or interesting to regard:
Although he could extemporize animatedly about the history of the valve seat grinder, or the art of ropemaking, or how long it took to manually drill blast holes into a deposit of coal, aesthetics were another matter. The unlikely beauty of his rusty treasures defied elaboration.
Donovan Hohn, Harper's, January 2005
This sense is sometimes encountered in constructions that treat it as singular:
With the removal of the studio packages, those cinema owners still providing double features began exploring less arbitrary and more justified pairings of films. The double feature became a special element of movie houses concentrating on the presentation of classic and art films. And this is where an aesthetics of the double feature emerges.
Chadwick Jenkins, PopMatters, 16 Aug. 2016

A word that follows a similar pattern is poetics, (which also happens to be the title of a work by Aristotle focusing on literary theory and discourse):
A poetics of film, he has argued, seeks to reveal the conventions that films use to achieve their effects-and cognitive explanations provide insight into how and why filmic conventions, like shot-reverse-shot or empathy close-ups, produce the effects they do.
Alissa Quart, Lingua Franca, March 2000
As a plural noun, aesthetics can also be used as a synonym for beauty:
For reasons of economy and aesthetics, though, most of the house was stick built and is perfectly cozy without any elaborate beam work.

text: EL SEGUNDO and SANTA MONICA, Calif. and SIOUX FALLS, S.D., March 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- With its acquisition by private equity firm Colony Capital ("Colony") scheduled to close in less than a month, LodgeNet Interactive Corporation ("LodgeNet") today announced an expanded strategic relationship with DIRECTV that will provide its hospitality and healthcare customers with upgraded products and services, as well as a unique financing program to facilitate upgrades to HDTV service at little or no out-of-pocket capital expense to its customers. Together with DIRECTV's unparalleled programming, marketing and technology capabilities and Colony's extensive hospitality experience and expertise, LodgeNet will materially enhance the value it offers its industry-leading network of over 1.4 million hotel and hospital rooms in the U.S. and Canada. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080115/AQTU120LOGO) The expanded relationship will take effect following Colony's acquisition of LodgeNet, expected to be completed in late March, subsequent to LodgeNet emerging from a pre-packaged restructuring process. "As partners, LodgeNet and DIRECTV will combine their complementary resources to offer customers options not currently available in the hospitality and healthcare markets," said Richard Nanula, a Principal with Colony Capital. "These enhancements will help reestablish hospitality-based TV as the preeminent viewing experience, a distinction it held when the company first introduced pay-per-view and video-on-demand to the marketplace over 20 years ago." Beyond the financing program, hotels and hospitals will be offered new a la carte programming options, including DIRECTV's exclusive NFL Sunday Ticket and other exclusive content, as well as other unique revenue-generating and connectivity options. The partners are also committed to work together to develop an industry leading open architecture technology platform that provides hotels with innovative tools and empowers a superior guest experience for today's technology-savvy travelers. LodgeNet customers will also soon notice a new user interface, more consistent with that offered by DIRECTV to its residential customers, as well as an expanded level of support provided by DIRECTV's nationwide operational infrastructure and customer support excellence, ranked as superior to cable for 11 years running by ACSI (American Customer Satisfaction Index).

Scott Brown Will Vote for Dodd-Frank Bill
**Written by guest-blogger Doug Powers
I wish Scott Brown wouldn't feel the need to ask himself "what would Teddy do" before deciding how to vote. Brown is saying he'll go along with the Democrats on the Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill:
Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown said on Monday that he will support the financial regulation overhaul, becoming one of the Republicans needed to moved one of the Obama administration's key pieces of legislation into law.
Brown had announced that he would oppose the compromise bill that had been negotiated by the House and Senate, but shifted his support after bargainers went back to the table and restructured about $19 billion in payments that was opposed by banks in Brown's state. A final Senate vote could come this week.
"I appreciate the efforts to improve the bill, especially the removal of the $19-billion bank tax. As a result, it is a better bill than it was when this whole process started. While it isn't perfect, I expect to support the bill when it comes up for a vote," Brown said in a prepared statement.
Brown joined Sen. Susan Collins of Maine as two crucial Republican votes for the legislation.
I knew we were in trouble when Brown started bicycling with John Kerry. Fittingly enough, Brown was against Dodd-Frank before he was for it. Francois has taught his student well.
This is the same bill about which Chris Dodd, one of its authors, said "No one will know until this is actually in place how it works."
We have to pass it so we know how it works? I want to get these slimy jerkweeds on an airplane, lock them in, tell them the plane was manufactured by a bunch of guys with a history of shady dealings and zero experience in aeronautics, tell them "nobody knows if this will work until we're airborne" and see how many of these worms wet themselves when the plane starts taxiing down the runway.
Chris Dodd and Barney Frank — two of the many reasons we're in such financial trouble — are also the architects of the effort to "fix" the problem. "Hope & Change!"
Thanks for going along with it, Senator Brown, but it's nothing that Marcia Coakley, or Ted Kennedy for that matter, couldn't or wouldn't have done.

Letters To A SoldierMature
Indication of how pathetically in need of you I am. xD A culmination of all the things I have told you...when you were listening and when you were not. A culmination of all the things that always were and always will be, never to change. ^^ And, above all else...A love story. Our love story.
Dear Soldier...
I hate to use that noun to describe you...I hate to think of you as the warrior, the fighter...I hate to think of the danger and pain that title puts you in...And yet, what have I left to call you? Even your name is no longer right of mine to utter...And it pains me so to know this.
You told me before that you would always be there to listen...You would always be my personal journal, my ear to listen, shoulder to lean on...Yet you are not here now. Are you lost to me forever, I wonder? I dread to even imagine such a fate, yet how inevitable it seems!
You have no idea the depth of my need and affection for you...
You are the light of my world, my greatest goal. There is no one thing for which I could aim that could be neither grander nor more difficult to achieve than you: my light, my highest, my angel among men. You are the path I have chosen to walk, for how long I cannot know, and it is surely the most difficult path I could have ever chosen. I could rule the world ten times over before I could call you mine. You are the single-most elusive object of my so privileged life--and you are the single-most thing worth the pursuit!
You are surely the most lovely creature I have ever laid eyes upon. You are amazing. Your strength, your resilience…If anyone else had lived half of what you have, my brave soldier, they would surely be nothing of what you are. The way you touch the lives of everyone around you…
It annoys the heck out of you, I know. Your little legion of followers who whisper to you how great you are and all that you have done for them, how you have helped them, changed them. Who whisper to you empty words like "love," a concept you have long ago lost faith in—and whisper it when they are but children.
I would like to think I am of this group and that I am not…you have told me in conversations past that I am special to you, that I am unlike everything before…You have learned the truth of the matter since these words, I believe, yet I would like to think that in some small way at least, there is a grain of truth to them yet. For you have learned that in reality I am not all that special, that I am above average, but so are dozens, hundreds of others. I am not truly spectacular. But I would like to think that I mean something to you yet, that somehow I still hold a spot in your so...injured heart that has never been held before, that will always be mine.
It is a child's fantasy, I know, but what about love is not? What about this most diligent, persistent, even obsessive of pursuits is not crafted upon childish notion and hope? Upon fantasy and the most pure of dreams? Love is the emotion of our deepest desires. I know you do not believe in it, in this childish fancy, but you told me once, long ago, that if there were one person upon this planet who could make you believe…
You told me I would be that one.
I would like to cling to some hope, in vain or not, that such might, someday, still hold true. Because still, to this day, still I love you.
Yours, Always.

BeschreibungThis groundbreaking volume gathers an international team of historians to present the practice of translation as part of cultural history. Although translation is central to the transmission of ideas, the history of translation has generally been neglected by historians, who have left it to specialists in literature and language. This book seeks to achieve an understanding of the contribution of translation to the spread of information in early modern Europe. It focuses on non-fiction: the translation of books on religion, history, politics and especially on science, or 'natural philosophy', as it was generally known at this time. The chapters cover a wide range of languages, including Latin, Greek, Russian, Turkish and Chinese. The book will appeal to scholars and students of the early modern and later periods, to historians of science and of religion, as well as to anyone interested in translation studies.

It was called Agli Artisti. We walked in and were surprised! The restaurant was decorated so…. VENICEY! :D The ceiling was lined with fishing nets, vines and grapes.

Wiz Khalifa has released a music video to coincide with the release of Fast and Furious 7, paying tribute to Paul Walker.
The track titled 'See You Again' features Charlie Puth and includes Walker's final scenes as Brian O'Conner.
Mike Knobloch explained the reasoning behind the choice of song.
Getting the music right for the sequence was a key part of that. To have a song that's earnest and sincere and could underscore a celebration of Paul's life. To be an anthem for that. We worked really hard to dial that in.
Walker died in 2013 after his car burst into flames whilst travelling. He was part way through filming Fast and Furious 7 at the time.

Re: What would you like to see next for the PS Vita??
I really agree with the PS2 games but i dont think the vita can run a PS2 emulator. But other then that all these ideas are really good. Honestly if PLAYSTATION doesnt take these seriously then maybe we all should just run playstation ourselves. Easy ideas but for some reason looked over by plantations. They need to take the customers reponses more serious
Re: What would you like to see next for the PS Vita??[ Edited ]
Almost everything i wrote on my last reply was about games, so here are the features I would want to see on my vita:
-Maybe a facebook/twitter bar that lets you see news or post while you play. (would make those annoying load times less annoying).
-An user friendly version of this forums.
-A feature to record video of your gameplay, and option to upload it to a computer or a site like youtube or FB.
-More free stuff.
-Maybe sony could make a deal with Google and make android market compatible with PSVITA.
-A feature to make notes while you play (similar to 3DS)
-A feature to display a simple text viewer as you play (I discourage the use of walktroughs, but still would be useful)
-Remote play for all games (Imagine playing farcry 3 on vita)
-Youtube video downloader
-The ability to use the vita as a controller on PS3 (Doesnt matter if you cant see the game on vita screen, but use it as a normal dualshock)
-Feature to store vita games on a PS3 and remote play them from vita (might be difficult, but awesome)
-Stream music from computer without copying it to vita. (there was an iphone app for doing that, why cant vita do it?)
-Im not sure if the vita already has this, but I havent seen it. A password code on the lock screen, not on the apps themselves (like most smartphones)
-Change the colors of the apps background (Specially the music app)
-Save data management, and if you delete a game, save data stays.
-Almost all of the suggestions made by other users are pretty cool too, and would love to see them implemented.
Do sony staff even read these forums?
Re: What would you like to see next for the PS Vita??
It seems like music maker apps should be in order. I agree. If your not in a gaming mode maybe you could create something an f so why not a beat or even a song. Good idea!
Re: What would you like to see next for the PS Vita??
I'd like a way to have multiple region psn accounts that don't require you to restore the Vita back to it's factory settings. Or better yet to make things even more efficient is to bring full backwards capability for all ps1 classics and psp games. Whomever came up with the region locking on the Vita is an absolute MORON and is the cause of great and re-occurring frustration for many Vita users. I apologize for the rant, but I'm just sick of having to reset everything every time I want to play a game from my UK account that should rightfully be available for NA Vita users.

Do you love pudding? I do. I tend to stray away from the instant boxed varieties (not into the artificial flavorings), but I do love to make my own every now and then. I also love this very special, and very easy, pudding that is both budget-friendly and healthy...
My mom used to make rice pudding sometimes for dessert. So as an adult, it definitely makes my comfort food list--along with cupcakes. And, if made with milk instead of cream, it's pretty low calorie.
Here's a really simple rice pudding recipe that I found over at Weelicious:
Creamy Rice Pudding (Serves 4)
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup short grained rice (or arborio)
1/2 vanilla bean (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
2 tbsp agave nectar
Note: I'd add a sprinkle of cinnamon, some nutmeg and raisins! And, P.S. I dare you to make it with brown rice!
Are you a fan of rice pudding? What are your fave comfort foods?

NZD/USD reached buy target 0.7000
By: Dmitriy Chernovolov
- NZD/USD reached buy target 0.7000
- Next buy target - 0.7050
NZD/USD continues to rise after the earlier breakout of the resistance level 0.7000, which was set in our previous forecast as the buy target for this currency pair. The breakout of this resistance level is likely to accelerate the active minor impulse wave 3, which reversed up recently from the support zone lying between the support level 0.6860 (former strong resistance which has been reversing the price from October) and the 38.2% Fibonacci correction of the previous upward impulse from March.
NZD/USD is likely to rise further in the active impulse wave 3 (of the intermediate impulse (C) of the primary wave Ⓒ) toward the next buy target at the resistance level 0.7050 (forecast price for the completion of wave 3).


text: Toronto Stock Exchange: VG VANCOUVER, July 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Veris Gold Corp. ("Veris" or the "Company") (TSX: VG) (OTCQB: YNGFF) (Frankfurt Xetra Exchange: NG6A) is pleased to provide an additional mid-quarter update regarding production improvements at its wholly-owned Jerritt Canyon gold mine and processing facility in Elko County, Nevada. Jerritt Canyon is operated by Veris Gold USA Ltd., ("Veris USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Overall Operational Report For the month of June the plant averaged over 3,777 tons per day producing 14,922 ounces (including approximately 1,195 ounces from Newmont Mining toll milling), with an average recovery of 87%, a significant improvement over the recoveries achieved earlier in the year. R. Llee Chapman, President and CEO of Veris Gold commented, "Our team at Jerritt Canyon delivered an excellent month in June: We had no accidents, we mined over 91,000 tons from our three underground mines; a new record for the property, and we also had a great tonnage run from our high-grade mine, Starvation Canyon, where over 28,000 tons were delivered to the mill. In the plant we processed over 113,000 tons during the month and achieved approximately 87% recovery which is our 2013 goal. All of this resulted in 14,922 ounces of gold production for June of which an estimated 1,195 gold ounces are attributed to toll milling for Newmont." Mr. Chapman further commented, "I want our investors and shareholders to understand that while our share price has faced significant headwinds in this difficult gold market, the first step in the ongoing process of turning our company around is to ensure that the Jerritt Canyon assets are productive and efficient. Our team is one of the very best in the business and you can see by these recent results the Jerritt Canyon property continues to improve because of their sustained efforts. We look forward to delivering and reporting on more of this tremendous 'can-do' attitude to our shareholders in the near term." Francois Marland, Executive Chairman, stated, "These results provide confirmation that the team the Board has put in place and the changes made to senior management are proving effective. The operations at Jerritt Canyon have a renewed vigour and this has spread throughout the Company from top to bottom, with the corresponding improvement in all statistics a direct result of these actions." Mine Production During the second quarter the SSX Mine produced a total of 95,811 tons containing 14,174 ounces averaging 1,041 tons per day. The Smith Mine produced record tonnage during the quarter totaling 135,904 tons containing 19,066 ounces averaging 1,477 tons per day for the quarter. A slight reduction in grade was seen during part of the quarter as development work was completed. Ramp up at Starvation Canyon exceeded expectations with total production during the quarter of 45,869 tons containing 8,217 ounces averaging 498 tons per day with grades of 0.18 ounces per ton. Toll Milling Total ore processed at Jerritt Canyon in June includes 4,763 tons from Newmont. The Company also took delivery of an additional 2,700 tons of Atna Resources Pinson ore in late June. The plant continues to operate at an average of 3,500 to 4,000 tonnes per day with an average of 1,000 tons of excess ore per day capacity, currently being used for processing lower grade Jerritt Canyon stockpile. The Company continues the process of negotiating additional toll milling contracts with several companies and anticipates announcing new toll milling agreements in the near future.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - January 12, 1984, New Braunfels, Texas Deaths New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung★ Election- Continued from Page I "There are many reasons of course why I seek re-election, but mainly because I enjoy being a public servant and have much work to do, along with my staff, to get back to a unified good working system since the implementation of the Central Appraisal Office, when all records were changed over," Mrs. Cleanan said. She added, "I feel all of this can be accomplished with great savings to the taxpayers, if we can continue striving for t goals established and which need my continued effort to complete, based on the knowledge I have learned to date Sheriff: Walter Fellers, who has served as sheriff for 31 years, will announce Monday h is decision whether he will seek re-election. The Democrat indicated last year he would seek another. "I think I would continue doing service to the county and I would like to see the jail finished. I would like to go into the new jail," Fellers said. He said he would like to continue to give strong law enforcement to the county. "To give service to Comal County, I have beefed up my patrol force and my jail force," Fellers said. Carl Davis, a retired highway patrolman, has filed for Sheriff on the COP ticket. County Attorney: Incumbent Bill Reimer plans to seek his second term in the county attorney office. He plans to file next week on the Democratic ticket. Explaining why he is seeking re-election, Reimer said, "Ore, to make a living. Two, I feel I have done some service to the community." The county attorney said this term has been working on his goals, and he hopes by being elected, he will be able to to see his goals accomplished. Reimer explained his office's prosecution had slowed down driving while intoxicated. "Now I want to reduce it," he said. Reimer also pointed to tile reduced hot check rate. Noting he had grown up in New Braunfels and is presently raising three daughters, Reimer said, "I want to see it be the same type of community that I grew up in." Prior to this term in this office, Reimer was an assistant county attorney. District Attorney: After holding the office since 1977, William Schroeder has decided to seek re-election as district attorney. The Democrat plans to file in a couple of weeks. Laughingly suggesting fear of unemployment as one reason to run again, Schroeder said, "I hadn't really thought about it. "Basically, I feel we've accomplished some things in the DA office in the past couple of years and I want to continue that progress," he said. Schroeder said his task has been eased somewhat by an assistant district attorney and more space. The office is handling 2Mi times the case load that it was in 1980. "I think the office has been running well and I'd like to maintain that posture," he said. Precinct 2 Constable: "I have intentions of running again," said Kermit Vetter, constable of Precinct 2. He has not filed yet. A Democrat, Vetter has held the position for two terms. "I feel like I've done a good job for the people in Precinct 2," he said, explaining that it is "a fast-growing precinct." Precinct I Constable: Incumbent Werner Kiesling will try for his fourth term as Precinct I Constable. He filed Tuesday for the Democratic primary. Kiesling is interested in re-election because he believes the use of his interest as a law enforcement is a way to serve the county. "I don't participate in any of the civic organizations in die county," Kiesling explained. He explained the constable is responsible along with the Sheriff's Department for River Road, especially during the tourist season. The constable, he said, "need to make sure people who come in as our guests act like guests." The constable and his two deputies provide an extra of trained people to aid the sheriff's department, Kiesling explained. All three are certified peace officers. "We feel like we've done an awful lot," Kiesling said.★ General Continued from Page I act of a terrorist. "There was no apparent sign of a struggle," he said. "We've heard nothing from anybody since the body was found. No one claimed credit." The FBI statement also released the context of a second note, which was found on Ownby's desk and said he had apparently surprised some people inside the building. The note, which carried the time of 11:45 a.m. Wednesday, said: "I started out of the building and caught a glimpse of some people in the building who moved toward the back of the building. I don't know who they are or what they are doing. They were apparently startled. I came back here to call the MP's, however, I can not get any of the telephones to work. Just as a precaution, I am placing my office keys in my shoe. I will call the MPs as soon as I can get to a phone." Fort Sam Houston spokesman Col. Robert McDonald said base police officers took no special security precautions after discovering the body. "We didn't know what was going on and, at first, there was some concern." McDonald said. "We never went on any kind of military alert here, though." Leo Soto, executive assistant to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service region commissioner in Dallas, said the service intially warned border stations of the possibility of a terrorist slaying, but later backed off. "We put out a normal border alert and told our chiefs that there was an unconfirmed possible terrorist killing," Soto said. "We called them back later to say it didn't look that way. It's the same thing we would have done if a sheriff's office had called about a robbery." Bob Butler, who described himself as Ownby's "dearest friend," told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that Ownby's wife. Ann, called her husband's office at 2 a.m. Wednesday, and when he did not answer, she went to the building and found it locked. He said she returned home and went back to the building an hour later. "She ran into a security agent she knew and had him unlock the building," Butler said. "They went to his office, but he was not there and she came home." Butler said he doubted Ownby killed himself.★ Club notes. Amelia Intrau Arrangements are pending at Zoeller Funeral Home for Amelia Intrau, who died Wednesday at Oakcrest Inn. She was 98 years old.

Driver escapes uninjured when train hits truck By DEBBIE DeLOACH Staff writer No one was injured in a train-dump truck collision on Watson Lane west around noon Wednesday. Department of Public Safety trooper Keith Simmons said a bobtail dump truck, driven by G.C. Guerra of Victoria, was traveling west on Watson Lane when its right rear corner collided with a Missouri-Pacific train. "The impact knocked the truck another 50 feet west down the track," Simmons added. "There were no injuries, but the dump truck was a total — I mean, total — loss." Guerra told the trooper he didn't see the train because he was too busy looking at a man standing in the road. That man turned out to be Brian Griffith, a railroad investigator looking into a previous accident at the same crossing. "Griffith also said Guerra was looking at him and not the train when the two collided," Simmons said, adding the train was probably going about 35 mph and the truck between 10-15 mph.

It'd be pretty ignorant to assume that we are alone in this universe. It'd also be pretty ignorant to question this undoubtable evidence that aliens were discovered in the Roswell crash.
In 1947, a UFO crashed in Roswell and it was kept as a massive secret. Luckily, a few conspiracy theorists know exactly what happened, and have 'rediscovered' some 'authentic' footage from the incident.
An Australian magazine called UNCENSORED has done a frame by frame analysis, and claims that the footage is 100% real.
The UFO website Paranormics had this to say:
This not only shows the dead alien (maybe from the Roswell crash) itself, but also the hanger and the alien body being carried into the hanger from the military ambulance that delivered it. It has enough clues to accurately date the footage from the late 1940s.
Check it out for yourself:
Amazing, right? I can't believe that the quality of the footage is so clear. I never knew they had such good cameras in the 1940's. I probably wouldn't believe the footage if the picture was all blurry and grainy, but this couldn't possibly be questioned.
Surprisingly, not everybody is sold on the footage. A UFO 'expert' called Philip Mantle, dealt with the first Roswell video, and he described this one as 'utter bollocks'. The cheek.
Another sceptic, the author of UFO Investigations Manual, Nigel Watson said:
The first thing is where did this come from and who filmed it? The Uncensored magazine says they rediscovered it but don't go into detail. We should also note that the infamous Roswell Alien Autopsy films released in the 1980s proved to be fakes or reenactments of footage that was lost.
I'm told this was shot and used for the Alien Autopsy film starring Ant and Dec – and has previously been uploaded as if true in 2007 – though that could be disinformation!
Some people just get off on going against the grain. Like people who say that they don't like Kanye West. You do, really.
It's clear to everybody that this is concrete proof, undeniable evidence that aliens crashed in the US desert 70 odd years ago, right?
What do you reckon?
The truth is out there.

Pros: Easy to use and very powerful. Keeps us up and running!
Pros: great company and a great product offered
Cons: there are no complaints great company
Pros: Just starting to see some results.
Pros: Seems to be working pretty well for us.
Pros: We use Dealerfire for two of our locations and we've been very happy with the results.
Pros: In the beginning, our SEM campaigns were doing well.
Cons: As time went by, we had to tell our account rep what key words or phrases to use. We also knew we needed more content and their answer was to try to sell us other products rather than fix the missing content first. Nice people to work with, but more interested in up-selling other products when their performance dips below benchmarks.
Pros: DealerFire has been a great partner for our search engine marketing by helping develop a strategy and being willing to innovate new products to stay up on the most cutting-edge technology.
Pros: We are getting double the results with half the budget we have previously spent. Great customer service.
Cons: none yet
Pros: We have been DealerFire customers for over 6 years now and our experience with DealerFire has been great! They are easy to work with and accomplish tasks in a timely manner.
Pros: DealerFire has an excellent team of professionals that are certified in all important aspects (Adwords, Analytics, etc.) and do a great job with our PPC (Bing and Google), Facebook advertising and remarketing.
Cons: The only thing I would like to see improved is the reporting but they are in the works to make that happen.

"1 1/2" Cop holster belt is constructed of full grain cowhide lined with premium center cut steerhide. Designed to support the weight of a handgun. Includes nickel-plated solid brass buckle.
Available in black. "
"The 1 1/2" wide MB1 Matrix™ belt is made of BioThane(R). It won't crack or peel, won't soak up sweat and will remain flexible and black in color over its lifetime. Like the Matrix holster line, this synthetic belt has the appearance of leather. "
Am very tempted to go by price and apperance and go for the SB3 Dress belt..is this a very good belt?
Nothing at all against those belts but do yourself a huge favor before you purchase and checkout the belts from The Beltman.
Gun Belts by The Belt Man
I just received 2 Beltman belts and I like them so far. They're nice with casual wear.
That Galco SB3 dress belt looks real nice. I need a couple of nice dress gun belts and that's probably what I'll get.
edit; SB1 1-1/4" looks more like a dress belt.

The 1.75 Bullhide Belt with an internal stiffener seems to be a great idea but not sure if they are the best with a suit?! Anyone that use this with a suit?
+1 on the beltman. I have 2 of his, one 1 1/2" that I wear with jeans and a 1 1/4" that's perfect for dress. FWIW, I find the 1 1/4" just as stiff and supportive as the 1 1/2" for IWB carry.
What type of gun/rig? An additional internal stiffener isn't usually necessary with these belts unless you're carrying a pretty large, all steel pistol OWB......
I have a 1.5 inch double bullhide that works great in anything up to chino's or khaki's... (dress casual) never tried with suit but probably wouldn't fit.
Certainly the 1.75 inch would not fit a suit. (Unless it's a 1970's era leisure suit!)
If going for a suit, I'd go with the 1.25 inch double bullhide with the plastic stiffener.
Semper Fi
"The gun is the great equalizer... For it is the gun, that allows the meek to repel the monsters; Whom are bigger, stronger and without conscience, prey on those who without one, would surely perish."
Another +1 for Beltman I have several in 1 1/2 and 1/1/4. The 1 1/4 i wear with my dress slacks. His basic bull hide belts are plenty stiff and strong enough. I carry a G 27 in an Mtac.
I ordered this for wear with Sunday best. It's $79 from Concealco Leather. Expensive but I think it'll last me forever. I think the beltman belts are great for more casual dress.
+1 on BELTMAN
But another great source for belts IMO is Holster for people you know Quality
Check out their Sharkskin very resonably priced, great quality.
I buy from both these places.
Keep skunks, bankers and lawyers at a distance.

To tweet or not to tweet? For most that's not even a question, it's an integral part of their online social habits.
I joined Twitter way back in the social media stone age of 2007 when the service was very new. At first, it felt like a large yet intimate living room filled with friendly banter between real-life friends. What sort of interesting things can you say in 140 characters? As Twitter exploded in popularity, it seemed that the answer was very little. It quickly lost its shine as my stream was filled with the banal updates from those eating, jogging, and, regrettably, even pooing. By 2009, Twitter was a status update battle royal of craven attention seekers vs hipsters vs "social media experts".
Willy Shakes (@iam_shakespeare) was my answer to the banality of the everyday tweet. I decided to tweet a line of Shakespeare, in order, every 10 minutes. It came from a place of sarcastic humour and my appreciation for Shakespeare. I felt he would have approved - after all, he did claim that brevity was the soul of wit.
The software is very simple, adapted from something I created for a basketball fan site that compiled game-time tweets. The bot uses the Project Gutenberg version of Shakespeare and, in August 2009, the first Shakespeare tweet went live: "From fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die" (from Sonnet 1) and some 229k tweets later, the bot embarked on the 3rd cycle of the Bard's complete works. Starting with the sonnets, on to Macbeth, Hamlet, Taming of the Shrew, the bot methodically tweets it all, line by line. Each cycle takes a little more than two years to complete.
Whereas I initially saw tweeting Willy as a humorous response to Twitter's ability to give all the world a stage, Dr Leonardo Flores, associate professor of English at the University of Puerto Rico, describes @iam_shakespeare as digital performance art.
"Part of what is so brilliant about the project is that it weaves a little bit of the Bard's lines into the Twitter stream of its followers, placing it in circulation with everything else that is going on in that environment, making it shareable, remixable, readable," he says.
"These lines from Shakespeare are more than just a scheduled performance in social media: they become computational objects the moment they are tweeted. Each tweet has a unique identity within the network, time stamped and shareable via retweet, quote, or link. One can even follow the link into Twitter and see the replies which may have entire comment threads."
Following @iam_shakespeare and seeing the Bard's verse intermingle with your Twitter stream yields surprising results. Like the follower who retweeted the line "I'll set thee in a shower of gold, and hail" with a hilarious reference to R Kelly. I have taken enjoyment over the past few years watching Willy's followers grow and have had thoughts of taking it further; creating accounts for each character in Romeo and Juliet, and tweeting dialogue from the cast in order. In fact, I've since discoverecd that the RSC did just that in 2010, with a project called Such Tweet Sorrow.
The 46,000 people who follow Willy seem to genuinely appreciate his digital afterlife, and I believe that having him as part of our internet experience can only be a good thing at a time when tweets are such stuff as dreams are made on.Reuse content

Area Female Athlete: Verndale's Moenkedick fills in for sister
Sarah is the last of the Moenkedicks.
And every Verndale Pirates opponent is happy to hear it.
The problem is Sarah Moenkedick is only a sophomore.
The last Moenkedick is one of six siblings who have dominated on the field, court and mat for more than a decade at Verndale.
Sarah Moenkedick is no different. The sophomore dropped 32 points on Browerville during the Pirates' 78-70 victory Feb. 18. She followed it with 21 points against Sebeka to lead the Pirates to a 65-58 Park Region Conference win.
"Her game is a lot about penetrating to the rim and this year she's doing a better job of finishing," said Verndale head coach Art Schluttner. "She's been getting to the rim more. She is a slasher and she can finish with either the right or left hand. She can hit a perimeter shot. She's worked on those, but penetrating and getting to the rim is her game."
Last season, Moenkedick averaged 4.6 points and 2.4 rebounds a game to go with 61 assists and 42 steals. Like the rest of her Pirates teammates, Moenkedick relied heavily on her older sister Teresa, who finished as the program's all-time leading scorer.
With Teresa graduated Sarah Moenkedick is filling in for her sister.
"When Teresa graduated I felt like I should be the one to step up and become a leader on this team," said Moenkedick. "It just sort of happened. Last year, we relied on Teresa for everything. This year, everyone has stepped up and doing what we have to do to win."
Moenkedick inherited the point guard spot from her sister. She learned the position on the job and the results have been solid.
She's averaging 11 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals a game. She's shooting 48 percent from the field, 33 percent from 3-point and 70 percent from the line.
"She was one of those kids that we were looking at to step up," said Schluttner. "Everyone looked at Teresa whenever we needed something to happen. So we didn't know who was going to be our point guard this year. Teresa was our point for four years.
"My assistants and I threw a few ideas around, but then this fall she just kind of stood up and took the job and it's been hers ever since. She's done a nice job of taking that point guard position and making it her own."
Moenkedick's play has helped Verndale to a 22-3 record. The Pirates finished 12-0 in the Park Region Conference, which was a team goal. Verndale earned the No. 2 seed in the North Subsection 5-1A behind Browerville.
Verndale had won six straight before Friday's regular-season finale with Nevis.
"Our first goal was to win the conference and we also wanted to go undefeated in the conference," said Moenkedick. "We accomplished that. I guess for me, I would like us to get to the state tournament."
Other notable performances:
Basketball: Katie White, Pequot Lakes, finished with 20 points and eight rebounds against Detroit Lakes.
MacKenzie Holst, Staples-Motley, scored 20 points against Sauk Centre and 18 against Detroit Lakes.
Kayla Carter, Pierz, scored 23 points against Maple Lake.
Jordyn Glenz, Verndale, finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds against Browerville.
Hope Theisen, Wadena-Deer Creek, finished with 28 points and 14 rebounds against Park Rapids.
Kayla Miller, Pequot Lakes, scored 23 points against Bagley.
Megan Felthous, Pine River-Backus, scored 33 points against Laporte.
Shannon Lundgren, Crosby-Ironton, finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds against Crookston.

Bangalore, Oct 6 (ANI): Karnataka Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa on Wednesday dropped four dissident ministers from his Cabinet.
The dropped ministers are Venkataramanappa, Shivaraj Thangadagi, DSudhakar and P M Narendraswamy.
The provocation was the recent Cabinet reshuffle in which six new ministers were inducted, leaves several senior BJP leaders unhappy.
According to sources, several rebel BJP MLAs, including a few ministers, are likely to submit formal letters to Governor H'R. Bharadawaj saying they are withdrawing support to the government.
Meanwhile, BJP state unit president K S Eshwarappa said there was no cause for concern.
"Crisis is part of politics. What is happening in Karnataka now - among the BJP MLAs - it is all rumours and nobody should believe it. The BJP is united. We are working under Yeddyurappa," he added.
He admitted that some legislators who had not got ministerial berths were dissatisfied and discussions would be held with them. The government was not facing instability, Eshwarappa said.
Meanwhile, the Janata Dal (Secular) met here today to consider the impact of the BJP dissident activity. (ANI)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the U.S. presidential election (all times EDT):
1 p.m.
Michelle Obama is using a Hillary Clinton rally to denounce Donald Trump's role in the birther movement.
The first lady said questions about her husband's citizenship can't be swept under the rug "by an insincere sentence uttered at a press conference."
She didn't mention Trump by name, but that was clearly a reference to the Republican nominee's brief statement this month finally acknowledging that Obama was born in the United States.
Mrs. Obama said the birther movement raised "hurtful, deceitful questions" aimed at undermining her husband's presidency.
She said the president has answered those questions "by going high when they go low."
The first lady said the next president "just can't pop off or lash out irrationally."
Mrs. Obama was campaigning at LaSalle University in Philadelphia.
11:45 a.m.
Donald Trump is pledging if elected to work with Poland to strengthen NATO.
Trump is speaking to Polish-Americans in Chicago. He's praising Poland for paying its fair share to collective defense under NATO.
Trump had been criticized earlier in the campaign for describing NATO as obsolete and questioning the U.S. commitment to the alliance. But Trump says he's helping NATO by putting pressure on it to focus on terrorism.
Trump also touched on other campaign themes, promising he'll be the "greatest president for jobs that God ever created."
11 a.m.
Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is airing its first television ad featuring Michelle Obama.
The first lady says in the 30-second ad that Clinton is the best candidate to help America's children.
She says "our children watch everything we do" and Clinton would be a president "our kids can look up to."
Clinton has made the case that rival Donald Trump doesn't have the temperament to be president.
The ad is airing ahead of Mrs. Obama's campaign events Wednesday in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The first lady will urge voters to register before the Oct. 11 registration deadline.
10:10 a.m.
Former Republican senator John Warner is panning Donald Trump as disrespectful of the military and woefully unprepared to be commander in chief.
Warner is a five-term Virginia senator, veteran and former Secretary of the Navy. He was appearing with Hillary Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, in Virginia to endorse the Democratic ticket.
Warner said he's weighing in because he's "distressed" by Trump's comments that the military is in bad shape. He said Clinton is deeply prepared to be president, citing their time together on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
He said above all, Clinton is respectful of the military. He added: "That's one word that's totally lacking on the other side."
This is Warner's first time endorsing a Democrat for president. He endorsed a Democrat for senator in 2014.
9:50 a.m.
Former Republican Sen. John Warner of Virginia says Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine is a longtime friend who "exemplifies what this country needs."
The five-term senator was formally endorsing Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her running mate at an event in Virginia, also Kaine's home state.
Kaine and Warner warmly recalled their friendship. Warner is a friend of Kaine's father-in-law, former Republican Virginia Gov. Linwood Holton. Warner said he first appeared on behalf of Kaine when Kaine ran for the Richmond city council decades ago.
Kaine told the crowd that he called Warner for advice when deciding to run for Senate in 2012. He's praising Warner as a politician who has "always put country and commonwealth above everything else."
9:20 a.m.
President Barack Obama says people don't give Hillary Clinton enough credit — perhaps partially because she's a woman.
Obama was speaking in an interview with radio host Steve Harvey airing Wednesday. He said he's been frustrated at people's reluctance to give Clinton credit. He said it's partially because "she's been around a long time" and possibly because there hasn't been a female president before.
Obama said his legacy is on the ballot this year. He said everything his administration has accomplished in the last eight years is at stake.
The president said Trump "basically admitted" in the first debate that he didn't pay taxes. He said Trump admitted he didn't pay people who worked for him. Obama accused Trump of insulting women during and after the debate.
7:35 a.m.
Hillary Clinton is trying to build on her widely praised debate performance by making a direct appeal to younger voters.
Clinton is campaigning Wednesday in New Hampshire with Bernie Sanders. It's their first joint campaign appearance since their "unity" rally after Sanders endorsed Clinton. She's struggled to win over the young voters whose enthusiasm drove his primary campaign.
Donald Trump is claiming that the debate was a success for him, too. His campaign is celebrating what it says is about $18 million Republicans raised in the day after the debate.
Trump is campaigning in Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
Clinton's campaign is also dispatching Michelle Obama to campaign for her in Pennsylvania. The first lady has been one of the most effective campaigners for Democrats this year.
3:05 a.m.
Donald Trump is refusing to release his tax returns. But he has turned them over when he stood to make a profit, needed a loan or when a judge forced him.
No one who's seen those documents is allowed to say what's in them.
In all the cases reviewed by The Associated Press, each person, organization, company or government office that has seen copies of Trump's tax returns is barred from discussing their contents. That leaves the public with only glimpses into what his tax returns contain.
Trump faces increased criticism from Democrat Hillary Clinton to release his tax returns after he said during the presidential debate that he was smart for not paying federal income taxes in some years. Since 1976, every major party nominee has released their returns.

Article By EEW Magazine // Spiritual
If you're wondering what that smudge is on lots of people's foreheads, well, it's Ash Wednesday.
Today marks the beginning of the Lenten Season, which commemorates Jesus' 40-day fasting and temptation in the wilderness, before beginning his public ministry, several years before He was crucified.
On this day, some Christians mark their foreheads with ash as a symbol of sorrow and mourning over their sin. Often, Job 42:5-6 is used to express this type sorrow. He said, "I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
Clergy worldwide burn palm from the previous year's Palm Sunday services to create ash which is then rubbed across people's foreheads in the shape of a cross.
Here's a confession. I grew up Pentecostal and the pastor at our small church never mentioned Lenten Season. I felt like a complete outcast and uninformed Christian when I relocated to another state and my new faith-filled community talked so freely about it. I was confused!
If you, like me, weren't raised with the understanding of this sacred period of consecration, don't worry. That doesn't mean you don't love God or you're a "bad Christian" so-to-speak.
In fact, every Christian doesn't celebrate Lent and there is no scriptural mandate. So you don't technically need to observe Lent to be a Christian. Yet, more than a billion Believers around the world, from various theological persuasions, do observe it as a way of focusing their thoughts on Jesus Christ, and that should always be respected.
Although Lent is actually 46 days, Sundays are not included in the times of observance, so it's counted as 40 days. The exclusion of Sundays is because they are viewed as a time of joy and celebration, and are not prescribed as days of fasting and abstinence.
During this 40-day preparation leading up to Resurrection Sunday, Believers use it as a time of self-denial and self-examination. Through prayer, fasting, worship and meditation on God's word, they get spiritually focused.
Observers of Lent usually give up certain indulgences like meat, soda, decadent desserts and other favorite foods—even social media. Also, effort is put forth to grow in faith and get rid of bad habits, and negative attributes that hinder spiritual growth.
It's all about sacrifice and consecration.
If you do choose to participate in this 40-day period of consecration, make sure you're not doing it out of a legalistic compulsion. It is a personal decision and not an obligation.
When it comes down to it, anything that will enhance your walk with the Savior and draw you into sweet communion with the Lord can't be a bad thing.

Agnosticism isn't a middle ground between theism and atheism. Theism is the umbrella term for faith-based belief systems such as Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, deism, and pantheism. Atheism is lacking belief in those belief systems. Agnosticism is concerned with our lack of knowledge about gods and supernatural causes for this universe.
comic from stanleycolors.com
I often feel like I'm stuck in the middle of belief and disbelief even though I'm on the side of disbelief as a de facto atheist. I'm criticized by both sides since I primarily define myself by our collective knowledge instead of what I believe today. I just don't think anyone's belief position is as important as our views of knowledge.
Sure, agnosticism means holding the creation question open to a certain extent. I have no problem doing that while rejecting the current set of theisms. We should continuously judge available information for anything that rises to the standards of knowledge as verifiable truths. In practical terms, an agnostic should come to an atheist conclusion on a daily basis even though we may not view atheism as the final answer.
Theism isn't a final set of described beliefs so how can atheism be a final answer? One day we may finally understand some grand truth not currently dreamt of in our philosophies. Applying ignosticism to a scientifically researched variation of pantheism might give us a universal truth about some sort of universal intelligence. I don't think it's very likely, but the truth for me in agnosticism tells me it's still a possibility.
If the universe itself is our creator then it could have used an intellect flowing through energy in a way we may never understand. I'm just a simple human but it's the kind of idea where I say "sure, maybe there's something to The Force in Star Wars and George Lucas might be a true prophet." I'm mostly joking about The Force, but there's something about the idea that just feels right even though it's probably an illusion of my simple human senses. I know I don't have faith enough to become a Jedi.
I don't have the intellect or senses to know how all of existence simply came to be if it didn't always exist. There's new evidence that points to existence without a beginning. See No Big Bang? Quantum equation predicts universe has no beginning at phys.org. If this can be proven then hopefully the whole theism/atheism scale disappears in a puff of logic. Atheism isn't needed without theism. We could still have agnosticism as long as humanity isn't omniscient.
Back on topic, I still feel stuck in the middle because other people try to tell me I'm not believing or disbelieving correctly. People criticize agnosticism despite the evidence that we're all just making it all up in the absence of verifiable truths. I can understand theist criticisms since they rarely deal in verifiable truths but atheist criticisms are confusing since there isn't atheist dogma for me to violate.
Some theists argue with me that they know things about god or an intelligent creator through their faith and I should accept this unproven knowledge they've gained. They think I'm more open-minded than self-identified atheists even though I don't share in their theism either. I'm still an unbeliever, infidel, and heretic but they sometimes get surprised and upset when I won't see their truth.
On the other side, some atheists try to argue agnosticism is useless so I should fully embrace atheism. They push atheism as an obvious final answer since the current major theism of their focus is unproven. They insist we should define ourselves based on our rejection of other people's specific beliefs. They say nobody can justifiably call themselves agnostic and sometimes get upset when I won't see their truth. Would this be an atheist attempt at dogma?
Anyway here's some examples of "Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right, here I am, stuck in the middle with you" starting with one of the most polite exchanges I've had on Twitter with a believer:
@lcorbo13 Being in a pitch black room does not mean it is empty. It means U simply can't see anything. #Catholic #Christian #atheist #agnostic
@AgnosticU "Being in a pitch black room does not mean it is empty. It means U simply can't see anything" or know it's empty or not #agnostic
@lcorbo13 Thats why you walk around and search the room rather sit in a corner and keep asking yourself if it is empty or not..
@AgnosticU Very true, but what if simple us lack the right senses to experience what could be? We may not be equipped to ever understand…
@lcorbo13 U are trying to come up with any solution that eliminates the OPTION of God.
@AgnosticU God is a specific concept requiring great leaps of imagination and faith. Universe as creator is possible but intellect unknowable
@lcorbo13 U R making assumptions…. If U say God is imagination and that is a fact U share a burden of proof too.
@AgnosticU I didn't invent human definitions of "God" so I don't share in a burden of proof for the unlikely beings described by others
@lcorbo13 I deflect…have a good day..Peace to you
@AgnosticU have a good life and peace to you as well 🙂
Here's a recent exchange with an atheist claiming people shouldn't call themselves agnostic. It wasn't directed specifically at me but I answered the general criticism:
@Zohso Stop calling yourself agnostic. Everyone's #agnostic. The question becomes, "What do you believe?" #atheism #Christianity
@AgnosticU Everyone isn't #agnostic. Believers make knowledge claims of gods & say their faith is proof. #agnosticism says knowledge > belief
@Zohso the guy in the asylum also talks to elves. Just because someone CLAIMS something doesn't make it so. Default: Christian=agnostic
@AgnosticU We know they don't know, but they seldom identify as agnostic which is often a first step for switching to knowledge to find truth.
@Zohso but see, agnosticism is NOT a middle ground somewhere between belief and disbelief. It's a position of knowledge. #epistemology
@AgnosticU Agree agnosticism isn't middle ground. Truth about knowledge is much more important than beliefs/disbeliefs so I emphasize agnostic
@Zohso Let's first establish we're both using the same definition of "agnostic." Is this definition the same? http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/agnostic
@AgnosticU Our definition of agnostic (noun) is same. Most religious people don't claim to be agnostic and believe ancient books are knowledge.
@AgnosticU atheism helps very few people see truth about knowledge, #agnosticism helps show the folly of blind faith beliefs
@Zohso again, everyone is agnostic. Someone's belief can either be theistic or atheistic. There is no middle ground. It's binary.
@AgnosticU Not everyone describes themselves as agnostic. Religious don't care about knowledge. Atheistic agnostic with emphasis on agnosticism.
@Zohso I think @pennjillette gives one of the best descriptions in the first couple of minutes in this interview. http://youtu.be/4_WKlttKRDw
@AgnosticU non-theists are both we don't know/we don't believe. Both are fine if using one to be short, why deny agnostics can be?
@Zohso That's completely fine… Just answer the question, "As an agnostic, what do you believe?"
@AgnosticU I don't believe in any religions, but what we know is the better question. atheistic agnostic
This is a recent conversation so it may continue but I doubt anything more meaningful will be said. Penn Jillette is right that we're both agnostic and atheist depending on the question but we differ in which question we think is more important. @Zohso says we shouldn't call ourselves agnostic because he thinks we're better defined in terms of what other people believe. For me, that gives more legitimacy to those human defined beliefs to only define ourselves as a rejection of them.
The same logic that we shouldn't call ourselves agnostic could be used against humanists. Humanists put their own focus and emphasis on humanism even though they're also de facto atheists. I'm a bit of a humanist so maybe I'm an agnostic atheist humanist. It's too many terms so I pick the one that means the most to me.
You could go even further and say human defined theisms are unproven and false so everyone is atheist. Saying there are no true theists means they should just admit the truth and call themselves atheist. See how silly it can get when you try to force definitions on other people?
This is what happens when you concern yourself a bit too much with what other people believe and call themselves. I could see an issue if I tried to redefine the terms but I used the commonly agreed upon definitions. I just try to focus on agnosticism as my core viewpoint, but for some reason there are people that just won't let agnostics self-identify as such based on historical agnosticism. Please just let agnostics exist if that's what we feel like using as our label. It doesn't impact your viewpoint.
Both religious and disbelief viewpoints are capable of being stupid and unreasonable in the areas where we lack specific knowledge to support our views. It's yet another thing that makes me see agnosticism as the right fit for me. We just don't KNOW and what's so bad about proclaiming that viewpoint?
