WITHTEETH

I suggest reading Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dic k It gets into what you were just explaining. great story also.

I thought it was entertaining. the girl from the original was pretty hot also.

"We need to balance science and Morals" - Bush BANG it was a moral issue that everyone was involved in from there on. It sounded great but was it true. Does science have morals. well does algebra have morals? Its the people behind science. Those are my thoughts on the matter. can the intellects add on this or any other tough moral issue.

I was going through last week's Weekend Web on Something Awful, and one of the forums they were looking at was a furry one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Could someone finaly tell me what exactly a furrie is? Is it people who dress up as animals to have sex or is it people who like to have sex with animals? Or both? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> People who dress up together and make... Furrie! (w00t) And no Kaftan i will not make furry with you! :cool:

Tolkien did not want The Lord Of the Rings series to be made into movies and against his wish they did. why come Star Wars not be made into movies down the road? The market is there, the money is there, the story is. everything but Lucas it seems. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say its quite possible. Never say never.

US is the largest, most influential english speaking country in the world. It is not a dead language like latin, so its bound to evolve a bit. Get your head out of you ass.

Absolutely, they are the biggest culprits. I expect American English will continue to diverge from other forms until it is more like esperanto than English. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Arrogance.

can you beat it topless though (w00t)

Everybody comes here for happiness

I think your Naive to see people are selfish. people do not like to lose thats true. but selfish? I will never vote for a leader that will never strive for a utopia especially because he thinks its never possible. people aren't too bad if you get to know them. Look at bill gates, he stepped on people to get where hes at, but hes just a guy trying to make a living. Look at chrisitian radicals, They are trying to do what is right, they justify it by saying god said so. we may look at that as seeing the logic having a false premice, true but who are we to say their is no god? People try to justify just about everything they do, is that not a sign of goodness? i think people are generally good not selfish. Also have you seen communism rise the way marxist wanted it to? no. You can't rule it out quite yet. If you look close at the system, socialism is creeping in, free education for everybody, healthcare is handed out more oftern, welfare, retirement, ect... marxist version of the rise of communism is actually in the works so far. As the proletatians make themselves "aware" of whats goin on in reality they will make a better life for themselves. I think its beautiful.

Marx and Engells said the proletarians need to free themselves from the shackles of religion. i don't believe it says "athieism" itself. am i wrong?

Continue to let them live in a purposeless world? For what purpose? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My self-determined purpose is the pursuit of knowledge. No idea what yours is. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My holy grail is to be happy. to try and set a good example so it might rub off on other people. Knowledge is essiential to being a good person in my belief. but then again doesn't everybody do everything to be happy either now or in the long run? thats what Plato stated i believe. Whats everybody else's purpose?

We have already discussed the impact of fundementalist. they are very active in gay rights, abortion, assisted suicide, imposeing there will on others. they do make an impact for good or bad depending on which reality you are living in.

"If you dont like gay marriage, dont have one!"

Without Genesis, my faith is meaningless, so I'll keep it thanks...and I find my faith my more inspiring than yours. Its a matter of personal choice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I respect your attitude towards all the criticism you have receieved. thanks for the oppertunity to let us understanding eachother clearer.

I take it then you're beating on me with this particular stick? I can tell you now that there are very likely more religious folks who take evolution for granted than atheists. There are simply far more religious folks in the world than atheist. Turning the debate into an atheist versus believer struggle only cheapens the discourse. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bet there are more sheep then shepards in the world also.

Richard Dawkins gets into it with his book The Selfish Gene

It doesn't explain how the ball got rolling or why it does roll either.

Yeah those damn liberals. If it wasn't for them you'd still have slavery! And no social security! Or Public schools! I mean, America is just better off without them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> oh please!!! if those liberals hadnt come in and screwed up everything we might not have the problems we do today. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've heard this view point before by a man i know. his version is social security, medicare, welfare, help for handicap and so on crushed our balances. and goverment programs dont work because they can't organie anything. he is a radical chrstian, so i don't understand him at all. didn't jesus care for the poor, feed the needy and help the handicap? i think he just bought in to what he was told without question. strange becaseu he grew up without front teeth becaseu of an accident that could have been easily fixed if he did have healthcare. instead he learned not to smile throughout middle school and 3 years of highschool.

I heard the same. Heres a website Pope And Evolution

Evolution does exist! how did man kind defeat the black plauge during the the second dark age? how does the Aids virus keep evolving, how come penecilin is becoming less effective as more humans evolve to become immune to it. there is proof, you just have too look for it.

Micheal Behe's book "Darwin's Black Box". Is this guy saying that evolution on a small scale is false? what i get from the summary is that from a microscopic level it is. and i disagree. i can see the the sifting of genes as we go through our lives and how it can change a speacies over a long period. I recomend The Selfish Gene By Richard Dawkins Fabric Of The Cosmos By Brian Green

Rationality is on the theist side. You can debate that atheistic evolution exists or unicorns and its the same debate as I see it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> do you usually beleive only in the things that you have good reason to believe in, or do you beleive in every thing that hasn't been shown not to exist? can you prove that unicorns didn't exist? sound familiar?

Rationality is on atheist side. You can debate that god exist or unicorns and its the same debate as i see it.

Adam and Eve Adam and Eve are innocent (Ignorant) they do not know right from wrong, because they live in a Utopia. Its a joke that "God" couldn't see this coming. and then to make people live outside a utopia over an apple. schizophrenia?
