New Comment:
Recent versions of PHP include the actual ::, as your error message includes, so
it should be clear where the error is (and say what you will, but
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM is _very_ easy to Google). Every language needs a little
quirkiness.
More seriously, this has previously been discussed on Internals, and the
consensus was no change: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.php.devel/62911
Marking Won't Fix. I suggest you find friendlier Rails developers.

Description:
------------
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM - No one has addressed this yet even though this has been
laughed at by rails developers for some time already so I am creating a ticket.
Thank you.
