Me: Actually, i guess if you hung out with him a bit more he might say yes.

If there was proof tht he was real, e.g revealing himself, then yes. The reason most people are atheists is that they don't believe in religion for lack of proof or consistency. If God was proved to be real, then there would no longer be the need for any proof.

I mean, lets imagine the most extreme form of God is real. He says that men are superior to women, gay people are evil, Christianity is the only religion that will get you into heaven etc.

Would you follow him and go against everything you believe in, or go to heaven?

Well, as an atheist, you wouldn't believe anything, and if you did abandon atheism, then that would mean you would go to heaven. You mixed up the sentence there.

By the way, there's nothing in the bible that really says that heaven is a paradise- at least not in the way we would normally imagine it. It says that heaven is basically a place where you are closest to God, in other words no sinning, no material pleasures of any kind. Hell to me just seems like real life, only darker and with more fire.

I personally don't believe in heaven and hell, but I think that if they did exist, they wouldn't be the same for everyone. If someone was sent to heaven, and it was calm and peaceful there, but eh person prefered a more active life, then I think he would go to a heaven to suit that. And the same with hell.

Our science teacher showed us that in class to get people's attention. Half the girls nearly wet themselves and one started crying. All of my friends except one knew what was going to happen and he screamed really loudly and fell off his chair.

What a good day.

Why would you want to rule a world of nothing but babies? You'd just have to clean up their shit and feed them 24/7

You're a retard for messing around with fireworks and not warning your cousin.
You're cousin is a retard for going to check on them after they were lit.

"Dealing the Cards

From a standard, shuffled deck of 52 cards (jokers may also be included), each player is dealt a number of 'face down cards' in a row. (The number varies with player number and variation - often three per player, but sometimes more if there are fewer players.) They are not allowed to see or change these cards. On top of the 'face down cards', they are dealt the same number of 'face up cards'. A different number (usually three, but this also varies) is again dealt to each player (face down), and this becomes the player's 'hand'. Players are then allowed to switch the cards in their 'hand' with their 'face up cards' in an attempt to produce a strong set of 'face up cards' for later in the game. For details of what constitutes a strong set of cards, read on. The dealer places the remaining cards face-down in what we shall refer to as the 'deck'. Players will lay their cards in turn in what we shall refer to as the 'pick up pile' or 'pile'.

[edit] Starting Play

After the cards have been dealt, players lay cards in turn onto the pick up pile, starting with the first player to claim he/she holds the lowest (weakest) card in his/her hand.

The lowest card will vary depending on the rules in force, but should be agreed on before play begins. It should be defined as the weakest card in the set - and is typically a 4. Red cards are considered lower than black cards - meaning that, for example, play might commonly start with a red 4 rather than a black 4. If two players hold a red 4 as the lowest card, the red hearts card is deemed to be lower. If no red or black version of the lowest card is held, players (led by the dealer) should consider the next lowest card, and so on.

A variation is the player to the left of the dealer plays first. Since the dealer is most likely the 'shithead' of the previous game, they are the one to play last. This adds 'punishment' to being the prior games 'shithead' or loser.

Another variation is that the first player to declare "4's down" upon seeing his/her face-up or hand cards gets to start the play. A further variation of this, based on player agility, sees the first player to physically put down the weakest card is seen as having started play.

[edit] Order of play

Each player must lay a card (or two or more cards of the same number) equal to or higher in value than the one at the top of the pick up pile, then draw cards from the deck so they have at least 3 cards in their hand (unless the deck has run out of cards or they already have 3 or more cards in their hand). If they cannot play a card, they must pick up the pick-up pile (put it in their hand) and end their turn.

Some variations allow a player who has no moves to draw one card from the deck, instead of picking up the "pick up pile". Once the deck is gone, the player must pick up the pile instead. (In this variant, at the beginning of the game, the top of the deck is turned over instead of the lowest card being played. If a player cannot play on their first turn, and draws from the pile, they may swap this card with a face-up card. This is repeated until the player plays a card from their hand, or picks up the pile (can't draw from the deck or play a card from their hand).)

Some variations allow the player to "match" the drawn card, that is, if the card they draw has the same value as those the player has just played, he or she may play the newly drawn card as well. This is sometimes dependant on speed, with the ability to "match" the drawn card becoming void if the next player has already lain a card.

When players have no more cards in their hand, and the deck is empty, they may proceed to play from their three face up cards. The cards laid form a pile which must be picked up by any player who cannot beat the most recently played card. (Note also that it is quite common to allow players to pick up this pile even if they "do" have a card in their hand that would allow them to beat the most recently played card. This arguably increases the level of strategy involved in the game). Picking up the pile can often put a player at a great disadvantage when many cards have been played as they will have more cards to lose than other players. Even so, it is still possible to quickly recover from this handicap.

[edit] The values of the cards

Aside from the basic order of play, the core aspect of Shithead is the 'Special Cards' (Sometimes called Magic Cards). These vary greatly depending on local or personal variation, though the core of the rules remains the same. There are a number of Special Cards which recur in most versions of the game, though which card has this effect can vary.

Players should pick, choose and try a set of rules as they see fit. It is possible to form a game which involves a considerable amount of strategy, or choose a simpler version which relies on luck. Below are details of the most popular Special Cards.

Joker: The Joker card is not always used, but where it is, it is the highest non-special card in the game, and can be beaten only by another Joker, or a special card which can be played on anything. A variation to the use of the Joker exists. This variation sees the Joker can be played on any card. Once played, all players pass the cards in their hand to the player to their right. The impact of this rule is that players which have played all their cards and would normally be out of the game, can see themselves back in the game.

Aces: Aces are high (meaning that they are stronger than the Jack, Queen and King). Depending on the variation being played, Aces can either be used to nominate another player to go out of the normal sequence of play or have no particular effect. When used to nominate another player the player who played the card chooses the next player irrespective of the normal order. They can be beaten by certain special cards, detailed below.

Burn Cards: Sometime called 'Nuke Cards'. These are cards that remove the existing pile from play permanently, usually after the player says "Change Places!". Burn cards are usually either four cards of the same value played in a row (not necessarily by the same player) or one specific card (Invariably a 10) that can be played on its own. Burn cards can typically be played on any card. For example the sequence Q, K, K, burn card means that the pile will be put to the side (face down). An example of the four-card burn would be: Player 1 - J; Player 2 - J,J; Player 3 - J. The pile would be put to the side (face down) and player 3 would have another go. In some variations burn cards may not be played on the reverse card.

Reverse Card: The Reverse Card reverses the standard rules of ascending card value on the pile for one turn, meaning the next player must play an equal or lower card on their next turn - or another reverse card (does not re-reverse back to usual play, but rather causes the reverse to persist to the next player in the sequence of play). This is particularly useful when high cards are known to dominate opponent's hands. For example consider the sequence 4, 5, 5, 7 (where 7 is the reverse card) which means that the next person must lay lower (or equal to) 7 - usually they would need to lay a higher or equal card. Again, rules vary widely, but a choice must be made as to whether the reverse card can be played on 'anything' or in ascending order on cards which are lower which is more common, or whether the next player must play a card of a lower value than the card underneath, known as 'transparent sevens', so for "4, 5, 5, 7" a player would have to play card lower than a 5. For example, while it is certainly always legal to play 4, 5, 5, 7 it is not, depending on the house rules in force, always legal to play Q, K, K, 7.

Permanent Reverse Card This has the same effect, but is permanent, until another card of the same value is played..."

That's not even the full rules...

Just pyjama bottoms for me, mainly as I share a room.

Invite her to go to the movies, but only buy 1 ticket for yourself. Then, if she buys her own and decides to join you, just say "Woah, what are you doing? I don't want to be seen with You!"

Ta-daa!

Amazing? Was this really worth a thread?

Or even a reply?

Try and make your face completely void of emotion. If you can't do this, act the opposite to what you have.

E.g. You have a pair of 2s, but you smile very slightly, this may discourage other players. When you have a very good hand, look uncertan, and then look as if you are playing quite hesitantly.

I was quite good at poker when my friends and I played every week as a hobby, but we gave that up when we got bored of it.

Also, if someone has a REALLY good hand, it is almost impossible for them not to show even the slightest sign of a smile, this can help you judge what they might have.

Stupid, misleading title... I was hoping to tell people how much I hate ni- naggers.

Only if I go through the park as that's where all the muggings happen, and so far, a few rapes too. My friend got mugged there just after 9:00PM so I tend to avoid it when it gets to about then.
