So this the 96th All Star game.

The first one was played in 1933.

Can someone explain that math to me? Did they play 2 a couple of years or something? :lol:

I would definitely bring up when you were speeding, b/c school is out an they may just not want to deal with it. They may offer an NPC, which is dismissal for court costs.

So a state trooper pulled someone over in a school zone without knowing school wasn't in session?

I mean, it definitely seems like something you could get out of if that's the case, but that trooper ought to get reprimanded. That's ridiculous.

Indiana makes this bracket a complete farce.

No one outside of Louisiana cares about ULL...I'd say this guy should stick to his day job, but I think he needs to find a new one...:lol:

My wife and--because of her--my kids call it an icebox.

Every damn time my response is "this isn't the 1930s, its a refrigerator".

No. This state is loaded with dim bulbs on both sides who can't comprehend the amendments and don't bother to put in the work to research the pros and cons. As a result they vote a blanket "No."

You will see many on this board who proudly post that they vote "No" on all amendments.

---

Could also be that people vote "no" because its absolutely asinine how many times we amend our state constitution.

I'm sure thats a minority, but why the hell does the state constitution have to be amended to address teacher salaries or the St. George school system, anyway?

Every tax proposal/renewal in Acadiana failed as well, and I have a hard time believing the two aren't related, or that that's most dems voting down taxes.

Personally, I've never deer hunted public land, but i think it should be available to those who want to.

It is available.

It just doesnt have the rifle season that private does, and for good reason--if you had the same rifle season on KNF as you do in Area 2, those deer would be getting hammered by every Tom, Dick, and Harry for 2.5 months.

You wouldn't have a deer herd very long if you did that.

My understanding has always been that jetties/rock armoring don't happen near as much anymore because of federal agencies like NMFS opposing it because of interference with fish passage.

The arrests are the result of an investigation into the theft of two Generac Generators owned by VPSO from a VPSO storage facility. The incident occurred in February 2019.

Not that I'm condoning crime, but if you're going to commit crime, don't commit it against the guys paid to stop it or investigate it when it happens.

This is another fundamental misunderstanding of the Jewish calendar and how it works based upon New Testament scholars who don’t understand what they’re looking at

---

You keep arguing that the issue is with how the scholars interpret it, but seems to me the issue is your interpretation and lack of consideration to anything outside of the Bible, like historic norms. You can take it literally all you want--the non-biblical evidence that inclusive reckoning was the norm of the time is strong. So the reason biblical scholars don't take his words literally in this case is because it didn't mean 3, 24 hour days.

And no, I am not basing this off of Palm Sunday specifically. I was just presenting a coherent chronological order.

---

So by your own admission, Nissan 10 doesnt have to align with Palm Sunday; you just did it because of the literal interpretation of Matthew 12:40.

The minute you consider that maybe it wasn't meant literally, or that the way they kept time was not the same way we do, that opens the possibility that the crucifixion occurred on what we would know as Friday.

In the end, nobody knows for sure, and it doesnt really matter. The Church could have easily decided to treat Easter the same way Christmas is treated--i.e., moving based on where a specific date/event falls. The whole "controversy" (if it even is one) comes from the setting of it on a particular day of the week that wasn't even used by the Jews at the time. The "7th day" was always the sabbath for them. April 7th, 2026 is a Tuesday, i.e., not a Sabbath (which we would equate to "Saturday" in current times).

Nisan 15 (according to the sources I've seen) fell on April 1/2, 2026 (Wednesday/Thursday).

Before I read it, let me ask you this--what qualifications does Pastor Gabriel have that I should trust over the rabbi, Catholic priest, and university professor that the show consults with?

I'm not asking this to discredit him, but there is a stark difference between some seemingly random Protestant pastor on the internet and the 3 men that the production company chose to consult with.

Father Mike Schmitz recently put out a video that is very clearly alluding to The Chosen when he essentially criticizes the way people have tried to recharacterize Judas's motivations for betraying Jesus. We only know what is portrayed in the Gospels, which is that he was a thief, and he betrayed him for 30 pieces of silver. That doesnt necessarily prescribe motive. Maybe it was as simple has he was looking for a quick buck. Maybe he just got tired of Jesus, but why not just walk away if that were the case? Others did. The story The Chosen tells, while not in the Bible, at least gives some rationale to why he did it. Is it accurate? Who knows. And ultimately, all that matters is that he did betray him--the reasons don't matter.

They make it clear from the start that it's a TV show based on the Gospels. They never claim to remain 100% true to the phrasing of every verse. I guess if people feel their faith is threatened by that, they shouldn't watch.

But I'll fall back to what I said before: it's a much better show to watch--even if they take liberties with the presentation of certain events, or the creation of back stories--than most shows on TV or streaming today.

But, I love to make this point also--taking issue with some creativity in a show based on the Gospels is no different than taking issue with movies or TV shows based on true stories. If someone wants to take issue with those--fine. But the only reason people seem to get more frustrated with The Chosen doing it is because it's based on Jesus.

No one really cares that the T.C. William Titans actually spanked everyone, or that Gerry didn't get hurt until after the state championship. That doesn't make a great movie.

You wouldn't have much of a TV show if they didn't do some of this. Episode 1 would be Jesus calling his disciples, then Episode 2 is them at some rando's wedding...how did we get here again?

:lol:
