The megamillions website says the cash payout is 359 million... I don't know where the figure from this article comes from.

I may be wrong, but I think the new law will make selling liquor in any grocery store possible. While Costco will see a huge benefit, many other businesses will have the chance to profit from alcohol sales. Jobs come and go, monopolies like liquor sales in Washington should definitely go...

Please site that scripture... I've never read it, and I've read all the canonized scripture of the Mormon church.

Your comments are bigoted and false and I don't even give a shit about the fucking mormon church.

It seems that you are conflating the idea of ignorance being stupidity. They're not the same, although they run in similar circles. If you fail to realize this then because you're no longer ignorant (you know) you run the risk of being judged stupid.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but words do have meaning, or at least they should. I was just trying to clear up some FACTS that can be found out through a few quick internet searches. And it is a FACT that there are black men in the Mormon church leadership.

Are you kidding? The definition of ignorance is not knowing or "lack of knowledge".

"If the Mormon church is not...", there is no "if". And I don't even care about the church, but this guy has a clear complaint to me.

Your premise is flawed from the beginning. The Mormon church is not a whites-only church. It seems to me some of this discrimination has been caused by others similar ignorance.

Prior to 1978, blacks were able to be baptized and join the LDS church; they were not authorized to hold the priesthood (the authority of the church). This was changed after 1978, now anyone can join the LDS church and hold the priesthood (I'm talking men, not women) and there are even a few blacks in some of the highest positions in the church.

The irony is exquisite... His acceptance into their ranks highlights the inability for this movement to stand for anything.

"Two conservative candidates..." What? Has the definition of conservative change recently? If the candidate isn't openly marxist does that make him conservative? WOW... just wow.

The best thing about this protest is it's exposing the obvious bias the city government has toward marxist movements. We are no longer a nation of laws but a nation of men. Thanks for making me late to my socialist indoctrination at PSU... (watching Rome/Portland burn...)

Surprise Surprise, a Christian leader is telling people that to commit homosexual acts is to sin. Why is this news? Does the pro-homosexual movement expect Judeo-Christian doctrine that's been around for thousands of years to change just so they don't have to be offended? Why not just subscribe to a different faith? Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Atheism - they're all out there waiting to be adopted.

As long as the Mormons don't protest outside military funerals with anti-gay signs or lobby congress to have homosexuality outlawed, I think they're OK to express their OPINIONS. These are opinions after all, aren't they?
