WITHTEETH

a bit worrying to see that most americans prefer religion/fairy tale to real science... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oddly I'm not surprised. At least Guinness have the right idea. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OK lets get real. Humans are not always rational beings. When i go out to eat, i normally get a pop. Why do i get a pop? Water is free and Healthy, pop is neither. I have the freedom to choose so im going to do it my way, Im choosing pop because i like the taste. Its just a matter of taste. We have COMPLETE freedom of choice, with that choice we will choose what WE want, not whats rational all the time.

Thats a liberal view on religion. It wont get anywhere near orthodox or conservative, where Gods words are literal. God speaks of the natural world. and how you should live in it. So there is a transition of expected behavior from that demension to this world.

They are. Quite frequently. Well, then those specific religious people who are doing these things should be told not to. The other good 1.6 billion christians shouldn't be labeled for those who wrong. Many Atheists also do atrocities. A really hard part about all of this is just trying to be aware of everything that you are doing, right or wrong. Are you aware that a 7 year old pakistani girl made your shoes and your supporting this? If we are going to start to blame a group of people, why not blame all of civiliazation. Thats when we started to destroy the earth and its ozone.

You answered your own question. People do not let go of their reality easily, They've had their whole life to build a wall up with facts and faith. Try throwing a evolution boulder at it, and they'll start to fight back.

Yea old news. Ohwell, atleast your healthy right? Religion is just one that will never die. Its just another grip on reality that helps people come to terms with this world. Philosophy saves philosophers, careers saves careerists and religion saves the religious. As long as they aren't torching the planet, imposing their will, or about to step in a mind minefield, why would we care what others believe? We would be hypocrits to tell them what the truth is, because all we do is make our best guesses from the information we have. A good person IS a good person. As for Intelligent Design in science books, that is an insult to all scientists. Science should stay science. Science is statistics, you can't prove a positive with a negative. That is you can't prove creation is true because evolution isn't. Creationists can't prove one empirical positives, thus they aren't science because so. Science is based on the natural world around us, not possiblilties with no proofs, those are not even testable. If creationists here do have a positive proof for ID then please show. If you try to only disprove evolution that is not proving ID. I still love you creationists! :D

Gossiping i think is fine and dandy, i don't really care. Yea Marilyn is a rumor, nothing more i hear. Lewinsky was a fact with clinton. Even roosevelt Cheated on his wife so i guess its mandetory for all great leaders to cheat aye? Anyways, Why do people insist on these guys confront the public with there personal affairs? That is morally wrong in my book. If a man on my crew is a good worker, hes a good worker, i don't care if he is a cheater, as long as hes not cheating me.

He got involved in his fair share of foreign expeditions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> One of the greatest ideas Kennedy had, was to not push your enemy farther then you had too. Thats why the Cold War stayed cold. He also had social programs he set up that saved our asses, for example the science program where he aided sudents aspiring to being scientists, so that the US would be the Industrial top dog. Now we must import great minds. Nothing wrong with that, I just wish there were more great minds all together. How are we suppose to be great without great ideas?

What is the christian Conservative party, is it mothman? No, Its the blanket term for what group hes in. It does not mean he supports everything they do. Just like The US public. I don't support what the US public says, its not me. The public is obbssessed with Gossip, Idols, and war. Thus, i don't care what people say about the public, because its not me. Thats not me.

rotfl! Very perceptive Meta.

Has Obsidian been fixing bugs? Or did they just hit it and quit it?

You wish you pathetic demos " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Funny i alwasy thought it more like this.

If baley says its gay, then it gots to be cool! :cool:

Just an assumption. This was a slap in the face to the republicans this time because democrats did not even mention it to Republicans. So something is brewing, and this publicity stunt seems to suggest an impeachment to me in my honest opinion. What do others here think this private (D) meeting could mean?

1. accuse an official of an offense: to charge a serving government official with serious misconduct while in office Microsoft

Democrats are pulling a fast one on Republicans in the Senate. I think its a big show that is necessary to get public attention. Im against the war so i personally am glad to see the Dems getting their balls back. It looks like the Democrats are going to try to impeach President Bush. They might be able to do that. Impeaching will be difficult since the white house has so many "buffers". Not to mention, once they do impeach him, then what? Anyone who can count can see republicans are the majority so they can't fire him. Am i wrong? whats everyones opinion? Below are a couple news sources.

Thats always nice ot hear. Graphics are great but what about gameplay. I'd rather save $200 and play a year or 2 old engine, then buy another graphic card. I'm also curious to see how well λ

Sweet, I'll check it out. I think i should upgrade my CPU before i do. I'm dreading this because i have a 2ghz pentium 478 pin i want to get 3.4prescott, but i hear they naturally run hot. Also they are more expensive then AMD's. But it will be a significant performance boast that will be worth it. If I decided just to build a AMD machine I'd have to scrap my 6800GTagp for a PCIE, not worth it.

Hinduism is a Major Religion and the gods are asexual in some views for example. Is the Virgin Mary in catholicism a saint? Yes there are some strife with many religions not to be ignorant, but there is also strife amongst secular influences and homosexuality and treating women equal. Peace Paladin

You could at least get my name right This was a violent and harsh world from the outset long before religion was around. It's still a violent and harsh world even after a couple of millenia of various religions. Doubt ending religion will end the violence, but it would be a change of pace. People would need to come up with some other excuses to harsh on each other. You dont need religion to be a decent person you can teach morals without religion.Religion equally leads to intolerance and the objectification of women (or at least not treating them with equal respect) among other things. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Becareful ShadowPaladin. your statement on interlerence and the treating women are subjective. That is your point of view that might not be the same to the person next to you. there are many types of religions, you can't dismiss all with one fatal swoop. True, you do not need religion to have morals, as we are examples. Maybe if anything is to blame its civilization not religioin, for that has corrupted us, not in a sense of making us evil but it started the destruction of the planet. just a different perspective. Can we reverse civilization? no. Unless you want to end humanity.

What makes this world violoent? what makes this world harsh? Is there only one optoin to helping cure these epedemics? no, but the more the merrier. I don't want to tell anyone they are wrong to choosing a different set of beliefs then i. Keep your individuality, it makes you special!

hehe.. I see you've learned something today? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, if i ever go to denmark, i will be able to woo the felines!
