I love that mike14e went through the trouble of formatting all of that and even bolding the most relevant parts, and Eli's response was simply "Nuh uh!"


Yeah, it's from a paper I wrote a couple years ago lol.

Just to let you know how you guys are wasting your time : I post here for over 3 months now.
I will not change my mind on what is the truth, I am getting more aware of it every days.
I will keep posting here no matter what you say about me or The Present.
My mind is changing because it opens itself every days as I become more aware of the truth, but that's all.
Just to remind you, my life change completely in a positive way since I understood I am more than my mind (thanks to The Present).
I could stop smoking tobbaco without anything else than my motivation after 14 years of non-stop smoking (I started when I was kinda young : 13 years old). What I achieved thanks to The Present is almost impossible for anyone with a closed mind.
This is just an exemple.
Now either you follow my exemple or not... I don't really care it's not my call anyway, I know I did my best.

Here is a good video I would like to share tonight : http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/videos/video.php?v=wshhLT8mNa1b7DbqsiW7

Most of us know that you're not interested in logic, or reason, or the truth. Thanks for reiterating, though.

:facepalm:

How the hell is your mind open then? I mean seriously... if your mind is made up, it is not open. How can you be more aware of "the truth" everyday when you reject new (to you at least) arguments and ideas without reason/justification?

So anyway guys, let's go back to this being the Fantasy Football thread.

Thank God that my opponent has completely given up, or I'd be fucked. Dude had Adrian Foster AND Benjarvus Green-Ellis, the two of whom combined for 46.5 points. Insane!

Not that it matters, of course, but I want to scrape out at least a few pride wins to get me better at FF.

And hey, how bout them Voys, eh?

A tip for all of us to keep in mind: If you feel you can't possibly be wrong, you probably are wrong.

That being said, how does this FF work? I've always wanted to try it, but I just don't know enough about the current rosters to do well I think.

Well, you start off at the beginning of the season and everyone gets together and drafts a team, much like the NFL draft but with every single player involved.

Then you have to pick your starting roster each week, and there's a vaguely arcane system of point scoring - 1 point per 10 yards rushing/receiving, 25 yards passing, 6 for rushing/receiving TDs, 4 for passing TDs, etc, etc. More points, more wins.

Don’t believe me: I quote and reference Albert Einstein 72 times, Friedrich Nietzsche 43 times, Henry David Thoreau 33 times, The Beatles and many of the greatest prophets, philosophers, scientists, leaders, seers, poets and artists that have lived on this planet. If you cannot or will not believe them, just believe your own eyes. It is self-evident. CHECK IT FOR YOURSELF.

We have tried everything else. Try the truth the evidence supports.

Truth is the only safe ground to stand on.

@mike14e : I already explained what is an open mind, I will not repeat myself... read again.
My mind change in the sense it opens itself every days (so my awareness of the truth changes), but the truth does not change.

Continued misunderstanding of what it means to have an open mind. I legitimately think you are delusional and feel bad for you. Hopefully you will one day realize how you are limiting yourself by holding on to the dogma of this book, and you will seek to gain knowledge and pursue truth.

What about defensive players?

Should I get in touch with my "Present" before I pick my players?
