I didn't mind him. I do agree that he made a good He-Man I think he went and did The Punisher and disappeared

You could argue that a strong economy is highly correlated to the health of a society.

What are you playing now?
I missed out on playing Fallout Tactics. A friend and I were really psyched up to play it because we heard there was multiplayer, but it unfortunately wasn't coop.

And we were doing so well in not doing Eddo's homework for him

I don't get Christianity because.
It isn't. One of the failings about religions in the eyes of the scientific community is that they aren't falsifiable, which is a principle foundation of empiricism.

Non Stop is pretty hard. Fantastic series though.

We all got the link and are quite capable of reading it. There's no need to post the whole quotation from it.

We have a pool running...I've got my money on a vasectomy ( just teasing Lady. You know I'm a jerk, this is just for those few that don't know. :D ) Since I've chosen to spam this thread I should probably offer something related to the topic at hand... Been having a buddy record Miami Vice for me ( yes, I am an old turd! ). Planning to purchase X-Men III ( hoping the optional endings are better than the one in the theatre ). Going to 'repurchase' "the Punisher" since the frigging puppy just chewed the S**t out of the copy I had. Dammit! I liked that B-grade movie! Is this the good Punisher with Thomas Jane? Or the "other" one with Ivan Drago? EDIT: This is more to Oerwinde.

They aren't banned. They're just as useful as any other anecdote.

We don't know. As an aside, it's interesting that the Big Bang Theory was initially criticized by parts of the scientific community because it seemed to be too dependent on divine intervention. Then I'd say your friend is not an athiest. At one time I considered myself an athiest, and I just didn't believe that a higher power existed. I felt it was a human construct created simply to try to explain things such as the questions posted in Dark Moth's quote earlier in my post. In recent years, I moved to agnostic, which was really the culmination in my apathy. Sure there could be a higher power. There might not be. I'm no longer going to worry myself about it.

You specifically typed Martin Luter, not Martin Luther. And I was able to find references to people named Martin Luter. It doesn't change the fact that it's an appeal to authority. Not surprisingly, there are people out there that aren't all that big on religion, so they'll twist words around to make a point. Martin Luther would fit that bill quite appropriately, especially seeing as he was excommunicated for his work. You see this type of appeal to authority used ALL THE TIME. People will use an anecdote to make a point, and then say that Einstein said it because Einstein is a smart person and very introspective. I use the definition of the word from a dictionary because, it's the definition of the word. Posting a dictionary/wiki definition is just as useful (if not more useful) than posting what some person said about it years ago. My not understanding that you meant Martin Luther may not inspire confidence, but the fact that you used his quote as some sort of justification of your warped perception of the term faith doesn't do so either.

Games you are looking forward to
I actually don't really have a game on the horizon at the moment.

"Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. " http://www.answers.com/topic/faith Taking the quote from some some guy named Martin Luter (whoever he is) is an appeal to authority, which is a logical fallacy.

Yeeees, and since females are WZ, they can create either WW or ZZ. Since Human females are XX, they'd be able to create XX or... XX. In fact, look at what you posted!!! Your quote fully supports degawinda's statement.
