Can it be a real boot camp, with some retired Marine DIs reliving their glory days by running the camp? Please?

So you attribute to random chance that which is beyond your feeble comprehension?

So you had to refer to one of those recognition charts? Not necessarily; some psychological issues can be entirely physical in origin, and some physical issues can pretty accurately mimic psychological issues.

Have you set up disagreement macros on your computer yet so you don't have to actually type your 8,405,392 dissenting messages a day?

Well, they might have been able to fix that other guy's Messiah complex so he'd leave Legion and those poor pigs alone.

Almost as interesting as seeing people who reject critical thinking and then think they're qualified to tell people with reasonable opinions how they ought to think. Besides, do you want volunteer firefighters showing up at your house, and just yelling encouragement as you burn to death because they haven't attended hours of training on how to put out the fire? What about the volunteers of the US military? Should we just do away with their training?

Might as well be "she was the Russians' point of contact in influencing the election." I can find plenty of documents that "suggest" the Earth is flat and Hillary Clinton is completely honest, but I notice he can't find any that do more than "suggest" she "might have been" involved in some activities so vaguely described that it might consist of clocking someone else in at the office so they don't get fired for being late or trying to use someone else's season pass.

More like employer/employee, only worse; one professor would have a hard time getting a student kicked out of a college, while Bishop was certainly in a position to easily have her sent home from the MTC, with the attached lifelong stigma that's orders of magnitude worse than having to admit you got fired from your first job. Where the heck are you getting that from? The only thing even close that I see in the article or the video is “I didn't think it had much credence. I wasn't going to risk sullying the reputation of someone based on that kind of a report.” That, frankly, doesn't ring true; one doesn't "oh heavens yes" clearly remember a fib from 34 years ago. Heck, a lot of people would have to sit down and think about it to tell you what state they lived in 34 years ago. If he really does remember one specific meeting with one specific person from the branch he presided over for six years that clearly, then it had a significant impact on him at the time; one that should have been discussed with his own leaders rather than dismissed out of hand. His claim is one of those "I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, and all the evidence that I did it is long gone" types; Bishop has been channeling the ghost of Ronald Reagan on that part. (And not even the admirably-eloquent-yet-reassuringly-direct aspect of the Gipper, just the part bright enough not to openly confirm, and yet not dishonest enough to deny the really bad stuff.) Again, where are you finding that statement from Leavitt? Even assuming that he's some sort of remembering-relatively-inconsequential-things savant, and really didn't believe it at the time, disbelieving one statement is hardly the same as having real experience to substantiate the person being inherently dishonest.

Well, then, run a few off so you have to re-join the wards from the last split.

What ever happened to "we need people, so let's get our butts out there and convert some?" Well, it doesn't place any unreasonable requirements, like both of them being awake.

Hence the use of that ultra-bleached WalMart store brand stuff that barely represents bread. It makes them eligible for membership in various MLM scamsopportunities. Sometimes, His blessings take the form of someone else's Earthly talents; have someone call the ambulance while you're getting the blessing and let Him guide the doctor's work. ?!? Is there any Judeo-Christian faith that doesn't believe it does? I'm not sure what the point of any of this would be if God just stopped by at death to say "Well done thou good and faithful servant. Have a great forever without Me."

Walruses don't count, even if they can almost convincingly mimic human speech.

Also thinking some lawyer insisted on poorly overdoing it; "the two adults should be two men, two women or a married couple" without reasonable consideration for any other factors; so my mother and I wouldn't count as two adults. That depends largely on where it happens; some states would consider such an unreasonable "request" from someone in significant authority to at least be coercion, if not imply a threat (especially in the context of having taken her into a private place well away from others) and therefore equivalent to actual physical coercion. Similar to some 6'8" dude asking politely for your wallet in a dark alley; a reasonable person would infer that there will be consequences for refusing.

So just because adult men are statistically[1] somewhat less likely to be victims of sexual assault by other adult men, we're denied the benefit of these new protections.[2] [1] Statistics that depend on reporting, which men are far less likely than women to do. [2] No, I'm not particularly worried for myself, as I've yet to meet a bishop I'm not fairly certain I could mop the floor with if he tried that, but you have to admit the Church has plenty of guys who aren't exactly shining examples of masculine strength and combat prowess. And for that matter, I've proven that at least one LDS woman can dislocate my jaw with a right hook, in spite of big fluffy gloves and protective headgear, so they ain't all such delicate flowers.

High in sodium and simple carbs, but severely lacking in fiber and protein?

Ah, I missed one on the sealed book thread: If thou rememberest not proper usage of "your" and "you're," complain not if the Lord remembereth not your name, for He hath a lot more than two simple words to keep up with

FIFY So Dan Quayle has read the sealed book? My predictions: "Coffee and tea" specifically refer only to Taster's Choice and Snapple Beard (FOR MEN ONLY) or clean shaven is acceptable, but only Eric Clapton, Chuck Norris and Hugh Laurie are allowed to do the permanent stubble thing If you're not Sam Elliott, Tom Selleck or Burt Reynolds, your mustache looks dumb. Either shave or grow a beard. These books contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer White shirts indicate a slothful servant who must be commanded in all things rather than coordinating for himself Short sleeve dress shirts rank slightly below Borat-style mankinis on the "appropriate for men to wear to Church" list The gift of prophecy is sometimes still not enough to keep a man from hearing "wine and strong drink" when God says "onions" Jalapenos were not given to man for decoration. They are to be on every burger, in every burrito or taco, and on all nachos. Objects in mirror are quite probably uglier than you think Thou shalt not pretend to be surprised when thou keepest getting fatter while overeating and underexercising Likewise, if thou speakest every line of Game of Thrones with perfect accuracy, none shall believe thy crap about not having time to work out Partner dancing is a holy pursuit, but line dancing is descended directly from the hand of Satan Restaurant tables are still tables; any wearing a hat there shall be cast out from among you If any cheweth with his mouth not shut, it it is pleasing to the Lord that others toss in toenail clippings, dirty socks or any other vile thing at hand

What proportion of public school students have been victims of school shootings? If the outrage over this were proportional, SLC would be smoking rubble by now. Quite possible there's some legal action in the works and so certain details shouldn't be revealed until they come out in public record.

Ted Nugent and Michelle Malkin.

Not relevant to the Second Amendment, though; automatic weapons were around years before it was ratified. Prohibitively expensive, but they'd already seen plenty of evidence that manufacturing processes could improve and drop prices dramatically.

Well, they rejected logical thought a while back, so I guess prayer was doomed anyway.

...and the first things you see are a coffee pot and an ashtray...
