You know, I was thinking of starting a blog here with a very similar introspective post, and now you've gone and done it before me and I've no more ideas for a first post. Damn. Anyway. Any point made by someone of lesser intellect, for example, may be perceived as wrong, even if the person has hit on a truth yo
The ONLY technology presently we have is nuclear poewr and like someone else pointed out, it has its own issues. But it wouldn't have CO2 issues. Agreed, I'll take the issue with nuclear power over the issues with CO2 any day, personally. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#F
While you and I disagree on many issues, I will admit that I agree with you wholeheartedly on this one. Very well put. Thank you, I appreciate it. I'm also glad we agree on something, though there's probably a lot more, it's just not stuff we're particularly vocal about >8).
That is the most inhumane thing ever. I am going to take it upon myself to start a personal crusade to ensure that every woman in Alabama has a dildo - whether she wants one or not. I mean, there are towns in the US which require you by law to own a gun, right? Why not dildos as well. They make people a lot happier, they aren't a
Well, we DO learn to SPELL by age 15.And I would put my intelligence against ANY French person's with the same number of years of schooling. What the hell is that supposed to mean? He's arguing quite articulately for his point of view, while all of you dismiss his points "because you've heard them befor
People voting isn't about making change. Some people may believe that they are creating change, but they are, statistically, fooling themselves. I'm willing to bet that the chance of a presidential election being decided by your one vote is comparable to that of you being struck by lightning on the way to the polls.Rather, you sh
Our country of 300 million decided its president on a few hundred votes in Florida though. (Yes we all know there was a Supreme Court ruling involved.) And a few hundred were disallowed from making their vote count due to their ethnicity to help make that happen, God Bless America! <TABLE cellp
I've always wondered about this verse. It's an "if/then" clause. It's possible that the negative doesn't hold true. People who believe in Jesus will go to heaven, does not necessarily mean that all people who go to heaven believe in Jesus. Think of it this way: If I have red shoes, it doesn't mean that all shoes are red, o
I do not think it is consistent for a Christian to hope ANYONE winds up in Hell; we are to walk a better path. And if you do, that's great, it's just that, speaking only for myself, when you've encountered enough people threatening you with fire, brimstone, and eternal suffering just because you're a di
I agree with WiseFawn, in fact I think the apathy most Americans display towards self-education on important topics, and their apathy towards serious discourse, are the reasons why the predominant form of media is more dramatic and visually oriented than necessary, and has less actual important information. I don't think Americans are apathetic because they're satisfied with mediocre journalism, I think satisfied with it because they're
Everyone feels prosecuted when rights they think they should have get taken away, a lot of the Christian teens here feel it is their right to pray with a whole class so to speak, because to them it is a positive experience for everyone to pray together and share in religion together. They think having God in the Pledge makes it more meaningful to them, and they want the right to say it. They feel persecuted because there are people who do not approve o
Hahah, isn't that what John Kerry did in his convention speech? You know what, you're right, it's sad that's all it takes to wins Americans over.
So I guess we can assume you guys are all big supporters of nuclear power right? I am a supporter of nuclear power, I'm not sure where the stereotype comes from that liberal environmentalism-minded people are agaiinst nuclear power. Perhaps it's true, it's not an issue I've thought about a lot, politic
And your an IDIOT too, did you know that. You liberals are impossible to please. If that's true then many conservatives are too easy to please. All I have to do is wave a flag here and there, mumble about supporting the troops, emphasize how much better America is than anywhere else in the world, throw
Am I going to Heaven? No, or at least I hope not. I consider whatever deity that rules this reality to be a total ass. I must full-heartedly agree, even if God were to prove to me he was real, if he was like the Bible God, I would neither respect nor bow down to him. I'd rather burn in hell with interes
Excellent post dharma, though from what little time I've spent here, I can already see that this seems to be about par for the course for you. It's things like this that give cause me to draw pleasure sometimes for arguing ruthlessly with those trying to to convert me, though I'm not proud of it.
You guys actually make it seem like it's bad to change for the better. You base that comment on the fact that you consider forcing straightness on yourself when you are inherently homosexual to be "change for the better." We consider that a change for the worse, and lying to yourself and the wo
I was under the impression that both "grey" and "gray" were acceptable spellings. I remember feeling stupid that I couldn't remember which was correct so I looked it up and found both were okay...
I like >8)
So, it is with no small delight, when running in the cool of the night, (remember, texas is three inches from the sun...see greywar's article on same.) moving along in stealth mode, to run silently up to within five feet of a deer and yell BOO!!! at the top of your lungs, and watch the resultant explosion. <
Anyone read this substantively???? I did, and I don't agree with any of it, but then again I'm not the type that would, so please don't be offended. On that note, I can't understand how Christians can live their lives like that, believing themselves to be at the mercy of what is clearly a moody
There seems to be a basic difference though: Democrats seem to HATE Bush. I don't just meen the loons. I mean the rank and file seem emotionally filled with hatred. I don't see that Draginol, a lot of us may exaggerate and get carried away by our emotions, but I think most of us, rationally or not, just
It is NOT universal because it excludes those of us that worship no deity! Exactly, still, great post Poetmom. Addresses all of the issues a lot of us have had with the Christian representation in this discussion. It's very refreshing to see someone who can appreciate the positive aspects of her religio
Nobody ever stops to think if things like this are "mistakes" that Bush-the-Idiot makes, or if he's really not all that dumb, and certainly intended to say what he did. Maybe he's just toying with us, but we all assume that "He must really be good natured, just can't express himself well." >8)
I wasn't picking on him for AGREEING with you, but for parroting you word-for-word: You said: All you guys do is smack the Christians in the face. And then all of a sudden he says: <T
