    Scientists' stark warning on reality of warmer world

    Ummm, many of those 2500 "scientists" had little more than a high school diploma. Those that were worthy of being called scientists were added to that list without their consent. That "wacky" video explained this, but evidently you've already made up your mind about global warming, so don't...

    Scientists' stark warning on reality of warmer world

    I don't see how your sources are any more credible than mine. It's scientists vs. The Independent and Carl Wunsch. Either side has plenty of reasons to lie. This is starting to look like a "who do you trust more" issue. Oh, and yes, I am very gullible and stupid because I disagree with...

    Why is History so unkind to Conservatives? Kind to Liberals?

    Loving thy neighbor is general evil? I'll keep that in mind. Sorry for the sarcasm, but the general principles of (most) religions are not intended to create "hate, abuse, prejudice, and general evil," but rather the opposite. I know what you mean, though. There are (and have been) many who...

    POLL>Was the reason for the Iraq war altruistic or economic or striclty defense

    I see the reasons as follows, in this order: 1) Personal vendetta 2) Altruism 3) Control oil (for defense) Let's be honest; Bush Sr. didn't finish the job with Hussein, so Jr. felt obligated to clean up. That, IMO of course, is reason #1. The second main reason was a genuinely altruistic...

    How do you personally define a nation?

    from google (searched for 'define:nation'): "A people who share common customs, origins, history, and frequently language; a nationality," and yes, that is how I personally define it. :) For example, the United States is a multi-nation state because we have different 'nations' within one...

    What is going on in Washington

    IMO, if anyone wants to put up a religious symbol, they should be allowed to do so. If someone wants a nativity, cool. A menorah, great. If other religions want their symbols put up, then tell them to go for it. This goes for government institutions as well. If these symbols offend people...

    Why is so little being spent on embryonic stem cell research.

    I think he was referring to the lives that will be saved in the future as well, at least that's how I looked at it. :P

    Why is so little being spent on embryonic stem cell research.

    It's the age-old question: do the ends justify the means? The ends being cure, the means being using human stem cells to find the cure. I agree with StatsManD, a cure would mean that the company would no longer have paying customers for treatments...sickening, isn't it?

    If liberals care more for the little guy, why do conservatives give more to charity?

    Conservatives generally have more money, thereby giving more in terms of amount. However, the real question to ask is which group has a higher percentage of their members give money, and what percent of their net worth they give. To say that conservatives are more generous because they give a...

    What American accent do you have?

    Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or...

    Study: Neanderthals, humans 99.5% identical

    Yes, dmw16, I do believe that we on a different logic basis, thus not allowing for an agreement to be made. I have just seen too many people accept scientific theory as fact, only to see that theory later rejected. Yes, scientific theory is changed, updated. That is why I do not put too...

    Study: Neanderthals, humans 99.5% identical

    So the scifientists had only a 0.5% margin of error, not bad I guess. There is always a margin of error in "science." To say that the DNA test is so accurate that there is no margin for error is just obscene. [rant/]I'm not one to blindly accept what "science" tells me because "science"...

    Heaven and Earth...

    Personally, I think the belief that nothing + nothing + time + a bunch of time + a bunch more time = everything is a little odd. As far as after we die goes...well, like Astaroth said, unfortunately the only way to figure that one out for sure is to die.

    I'm a little scared about my doctor visit tomorrow. ***UPDATE***

    The good news about a problem with a kidney is that at least you've got two of 'em. :) I had an infection in one of my kidneys at birth that mostly destroyed it. So, I guess that means I'm out of a back-up. :(

    Seperation of Church & State thread:11-14-06 Toys for Tots rejects talking Jesus Doll

    The point I was trying to make is that the sep of church and state has gone too far, to the extent of being atheistic. If we have a non-theocratic government, then we have an atheist government. There is no middle ground, try as we may. Regarding the original topic: if Jesus dolls are not...

    Seperation of Church & State thread:11-14-06 Toys for Tots rejects talking Jesus Doll

    What's wrong with a gift of hope? I, for one, do not recognize the seperation of church and state nonsense to begin with. Sure, I think it would be very bad to have a church run government, but I think America has taken it too far. Now, instead of a Catholic run government that we escaped...

    Can anyone think of anything positive that the $300,000,000,000 Iraq War has done for America?

    Ask not what the war on terror can do for you, but what you can do for the war on terror. Bush jr. went in to Iraq to finish what his pops started. IMO, that's the main reason. The possibility of WMDs and the fact that Sadaam was a violent dictator made the choice even easier to make. You...

    Very good news. I got sick of hearing about those people holding up signs that were disgracing the soldiers such as "thank God for IED's." While the ability to protest is indeed one of the things that makes America great, protesting at a funeral is not free speech, it is infringing on the...
