"The test button on the GFCI will not function without the ground also it is a new installation, therefor you would be required to provide a ground by National Electrical Code. 10 Years to answer your question, Arizona mostly. I just left the trade to pursue a Masters and career in anthropology. To make it clear, it is illegal to install a GFCI or even a normal 3 prong receptical without a ground. You would be required to install a 2 prong receptical." - Sham Rock

"While I did not read all many comments said the main problem was insulation. NO! The main problem is that you have no ground you only have a hot and a neutral. You will need the ground for the GFI for example. Many devices that you will plug in will need a ground. Also, not having a ground is unsafe. Hear that... It is unsafe. The ground wire's soul purpose is to save people and equipment. Also, if there is anything Aluminum, get rid of it. That shit causes fires even if it is highly underrated because of the heat and expansion and contraction of metals. There is a reason we don't install things things now, because they were unsafe. Will it work? Yeah, Will my house burn down or will die from some freak 120 volt shock while using an ungrounded juicer and touching the grounded sink.... Probably, not, but it could. Get the seller to give you money off for the "Unsafe" wiring and you can either, get someone to run new wire for your GFI and ignore being truly safe, or use the money to..." - Sham Rock

"Sounds good to me actually. Maybe they are on to something. We would have to have a border fence which I am normally against. Because when these Republican Illegal alien bastards can't afford healthcare or need the next invention that keeps the economy moving along, I don't want them using our subsidized scientists and healthcare." - Sham Rock

"Well he is insane. If you try to break his bubble you might cause more damage. If you still want to though, try to lead his with "God's will" into a paradox." - Sham Rock

"If off, Bogus. If there was such a thing would be very lucky to find anything of it. It was made out of wood. Look at the odds of finding something that was in the ocean preserved. Second we don't know what article you are talking about because it wasn't national news which should have been your first clue that it was bogus. Third, I have Jesus' skeleton in my closet. You can belief I have a skeleton in my closet and it is not Jesus, or I have a random skeleton in my closet, or I am making up that I have a skeleton. Now, would you post here asking if I have Jesus' skeleton because someone told that I do? Then why would you ask this BS?" - Sham Rock

"Master's student." - Sham Rock

"What the hell is a "Opion"? Ummmm Did you think that a bunch of repressed atheist with the freedom of hiding behind a user name would act differently? I admit that many of the post here are stupid, but there are others that are great. I find that to be true of all reddit's." - Sham Rock

"I was still a crazy Christian in high school. But I will tell you a secret. At thirty years old I have a total of two friend from high school on facebook and I haven't seen either of them in person in at least 10 years. In other words... High school does not matter. Trust me, if and when you go to college you make new friends, ones that will accept you for who you are." - Sham Rock

"I am agnostic. But I lean Atheist. What I mean is that I believe there is no god, and I know that no one in the world really knows if there is one. I also know that much of the stuff in the bible is untrue. For example, I can count the number of water marks in the grand canyon and there is more than 10000 plus 6 days. I hope that helps." - Sham Rock

"The problem is that dumb people say theory when they mean guess. A guess is hypothesis. Your job is to correct someone every time they claim, "That's my theory" when they mean it is their guess." - Sham Rock

"Education." - Sham Rock

"I have always found that that the "No harm" thing to actually be against nature. All life on this planet is struggling to use resources and live off of each other and use each other as resources. The no harm thing is ridiculous and a bit of lazy writing and morality and ethics should be something taught beyond "No Harm" I mean if you own a single product from purchased from Walmart you have harmed the environment and enslaved the third world. Really you guys should teach more morality and ethics than "No Harm". There would at least be less confusion. I also guarantee that there are times when a little harm would do a lot of good. Disclaimer. I am not a real practitioner of this religion. I just have interest in the religion. I must say that the "Do no harm" among other parts of it have stopped me from seeking out practitioners because I know that I would not be accepted by a coven because I do not follow much of the religious parts." - Sham Rock

"Meh don't be so sensitive. I creatively explained it to you through colorful example. A better example would be the decline of stone age tools and the rise of bronze tools and how that changed culture, but where would the fun be in giving you a textbook type answer. If you wanted that, you would have read it lol." - Sham Rock

"Cynicism does not equal skeptic at all. Your story has now changed to a guy who didn't tell his wife that he is an atheist. I think it might be a good idea to have a long talk with her, but keep in mind that you didn't share the extent of your viewpoint, which makes you a liar by omission. So you might have to give her some time to sway your way because she is going to be pissed. Don't fret though, with time and many long talks you might even convert her." - Sham Rock

"Yeah look up the word "stratification" in google. To help you, black people being slaves and white slave owners are an example of racial stratification. Look up the word though, we use stratification for everything. Mechanism of culture change? You should have bought that textbook and read it lol. Here, the environment. If your water supply runs out, you are going to have to adapt culturally. Technology... Right now you are sitting there getting fat and cheating on a test over the internet, that is cultural change because people used to have to make real friends to help them cheat. You should think of a third one on your own. I hope I gave you some assistance." - Sham Rock

"Umm if you two have been together three years and she didn't know you were an atheist than either you are making this story up or you NEED to get a divorce. I mean, how does someone live together for three years without at least bringing up religion. You even claim to have a son with your wife. Most people would at least ask how they were going to raise him or at least what religion they are because of that. I mean a catholic and Jew are going to have to work that out just as much as a non-dom christian and a baptist would. You have either fabricated the story or you marriage has a lot more problems than your wife's religion. In short, I call bullshit." - Sham Rock

"One thing you are not considering is that current population growth is unsustainable. So logically we must start eating babies to control population and ensure that the rest of us have the resources needed to survive long enough for the second coming of Christ." - Sham Rock

"I was actually making a joke. If you want to know the truth, I think it is not a good thing, but I understand it. I have gone to churches even though I do not believe because of the request of others or varying reasons. I even observing rituals of many of many churches and the art. The only real difference between your friend and I, is that his reason has to do with a girl. I mean would you be as pissed if he was already dating her and she was dragging him along and forcing participation? If not, then you shouldn't be pissed that he forces himself to participate in order to get closer to a girl he likes. Both cases are the same except one has either a stated commitment or the commitments that are sometimes implied after someone is dating. In short, stop cock blocking and go read the The biblical "Song of Solomon" with a box of tissues and some lube." - Sham Rock

"He is hoping to convert her." - Sham Rock

"Sure. If a god intelligently designed the universe from pre-big bang then he would not be the god of the Koran, Bible, or Torah becausetheir story of creation is the same. The older religions with many gods would suffer from the same problem. It would mean that either, the bible was written by men and not even inspired by god or that god fed people misinformation for some reason. Currently intelligent design is a philosophical argument based on what science has taught up to date and can not as of yet, explain. You can't use philosophy and science in an argument for Christianity or Judaism or what have you and then ignore that the books that the religion are based on do not follow science and can't even survive simple philosophical principals like Occam's Razor... the simplest explanation will be the most plausible until evidence is presented to prove it false. I mean, the bible has a linage from the first people to only 10,000 BCE that would not be supported scientifically and "the..." - Sham Rock

"Yeah you are talking about the rulemaker idea. You should look into some of the examples of evolution and the big bang with computer simulations. At present there really is no evidence that someone created the rules of the universe, but these are interesting philosophical arguments. I actually switched from being a true atheist into an agnostic that leans heavily atheist because some of these simulations show that there is a point far enough back that chaos theory no longer applies and a person could make an almost designer argument, also there was a simulation of computer simulated blocks that under the rules of being in water and the best swimmers survive while other die; the random blocks became familiar fish and octopus and even sea horses over time, which one could argue that the rules of physics produce the same results (Intelligent designer crowd failing at using the theory of evolution to show predetermined planning.) . In fact your question is one of the few good arguments..." - Sham Rock

"Capitalism is where you buy a pizza and sell the slices to your friends for profit. Socialism is where you and your friends chip in for a pizza and split it. Communism is where you are force to eat pizza when you wanted a hamburger." - Sham Rock
