[quote]However, the thing that bothers me the most is Obama will not open the sealed document to put this matter to rest. If he is about “change”, and so-called “open government” then he should have no problem releasing these documents and putting an end to the speculation. But he doesn’t.[/quote] He's already admitted he had dual citizenship at birth, (British/Unite States), so he's not a "natural born citizen" and even if he were born here according

A Gamers Story in Fiction Writing JoeUser Forums

December 10, 2033 The following is a explanation of the events and motivations that led to our company’s latest advances in virtual reality and its implications. For the last two decades much of our resources were focused on the meticulous construction of virtual worlds and then adapting them to the available technology. The focus of our company and a passion of mine ever since I played my first game, has always been to create the most immersive experience po

[quote]For instance, a schizophrenic might cut their father's throat and then eat part of his brain during an episode of delusion, but if the then calls the police on himself (in a moment of lucidity) he's demonstrated that he knew what he did was against the law (ie: wrong) and will most likely be locked up for life. (True story, seen on Lockup Raw, I can't remember what channel it comes on, but it comes on a lot.)[/quote] I think it's immportant that we lock up all the brain eaters

Reply to 12 Step Excuse in Misc Stardock Forums

I agree with Dr. Guy the 12 steps are incidental, it's being with and hearing the stories of people that are in your shoes and seeing yourself in them that is the benefit of this program. The religious aspect of AA is incidental as well being more about keeping tax exempt status than an integral part of the program. Alcoholism is a terrible misunderstood disease for which there is no cure and in most cases is terminal. Some people are simple for

[quote]I would like to see even a credible hypothesis with supporting data[/quote] I don't care if they do, in fact I hope they don't. I don't want them to be right because if they are it doesn't matter we're not going to be able to do anything in time anyhow and if they come up with stronger evidence and they're still wrong we're more likely to go overboard trying to stop something we didn't cause and can't change. I like where we're at right now, enough motivation to keep

Actually I don't really really care if the position is being overstated or not. So far everything that has been done or is seriously being proposed has been very positive. Now if the government starts demanding I grow my own food, ride a bike and live without electricity then I'll get concerned but I think we all know that's not going to happen and I think those that do not are just matching the extremist hyperbole coming from&n

[quote]I thought pattern recognition was an integral part of induction?[/quote] Patterns in data not the predictions. It is possible because of the margin for error and assumptions made that a prediction based on less or less accurate data could turn out to be more accurate, however predictions made using the latest most accurate data always supplant previous predictions.

[quote]I'm a global warming skeptic. That doesn't mean I don't believe it's happening. It doesn't mean that I don't think humans could possibly cause it.[/quote] Being a skeptic is a fine thing, there's much pseudoscience in our culture to be skeptical about. A skeptic must first consider the source of various claims and whether or not the claimers have anything to gain from its promotion as the beginning of any skeptical analysis. Then a thorough examination of the c

[quote]For all the political animosity we display here, myself included, I want to make one thing clear. I'm very capable of separating political views from the person expressing them, and some of the most wonderful people I've met in JU, some of those I've grown very fond of (and a few I even love) are so far on the opposite end of *my* political spectrum that you'd think I'd want nothing to do with them at all.[/quote] That's because you are intelligent.
