*** I admit I did make it up, only because I know the number is so vast and infinite it cant really be calculated that easily. but you sextillion number only supports my arguement. thanks *** How does it support your argument? According to the numb...
*** such as the simple fact, that which if the earth was any closer or farther away from the sun, life would not be possible. coincidence...hmmm...maybe? how its not even a 1 in a trillion chance that life just suddenly **accidentaly happend** in re...
I think denying them the right to assemble would actually bring more attention to them. Letting them peaceably assemble, while basicly ignoring them is far more useful way of marginalizing them than putting up a big fight against them. That is exactl...
Toadaly is absolutely right. The ACLU even defended the klan's right march in Skokey, IL. The government should not be in the buisness of deciding what is offensive or not. All speech should be protected, unless it includes threats of violence again...
Because reality is better than fantasy. I was raised catholic (was even an altar boy), but from a very young age, I was skeptical about the existence of god. I can remember always thinking, 'can this really be true?'. When I got older, I still w...
Email her through the FDA website. I am sure she is not someone you can contact easily.
*** ...knowing what's in a bill before passing it, is passe... *** Yeah, that's how we got the patriot act...
*** Instead, he already bankrupted the country *** I think Bush had already done that. American want this, but the insurance companies are throwing tons of money around to stop it.
We will have to wait and see how obstructionist the republicans and their friends in the insurance industry are. If congress listens to the will of the people, we should have some kind of public option. If not, the insurance companies will have won a...
Danigirl20, I am sure there are those on the left who are ignorant enough to label anyone opposed to Obama as a racist. That is just as wrong as those on the right who say that Obama is not a citizen, is going to set up death panels, is like hitler, o...
Is it that much more trouble to type 'this' over 'dis'? Or do you like sounding uneducated?
Michael Savage is a moron of the highest degree. Not sure what you are talking about with him and the UK though.
Some would say they are two sides of the same coin. Hannity is just a liar. I don't think Olberman lies, but he has become a bit bombastic for me. I used to watch him. I do like Rachel Maddow though. She is very intelligent, well researched, and n...
I knew it would be coming miscegenymiser. And I knew you could explain far better than I. There is more than a grain of truth in what he says. A lot more...
danigirl20, it has nothing to do with your spelling, it has to do with the way you started this question. *** Hows that hope and change thing working for ya? I have heard many people say that every republican is a racist. *** It was a challeng...
*** Even with spelling mistakes, her posts are more thought-provoking than yours! *** Do you think that only because you agree with her? What is so thought provoking about comparing Obama to hitler? Or claiming there are MANY people that say EVERY ...
*** I have heard many people say that every republican is a racist. *** Really? Many people saying the EVERY republican is a racist? Please show me one person who said this. As filetofspam said, so far so good. Obama has been a vast imporvem...
jeez, what the hell is wrong with you people. It is only a board game. There are no demons.
This is what he has done: Ordered the closing of Guantanamo Bay by Jan 2010. Eased restrictions on access to presidential records under the FOIA, reversed Bush's policy on denying funding to foreign angencies that provide abortions. Signed th...
Eternallymisinformed, your arrogance, stupidity and bigotry is quite overwhelming. I think you should be asking your god for forgiveness. You know nothing of history, even of your own faith. Catholicism is not christianity? Sometimes I think you co...
*** Jesus was the son of God. He walked on water and he performed miracles. He died for your sins! Remember that. *** Prove it...
*** That is exactly what I am talking about. Saying that the thought of God is inconsequential one is free of bothering about what is good or bad. You can then do whatever pleases you. *** You are clueless. To me god is inconsequential because I don...
kai_dono, are you actually trying to say that disbelief is the same as belief? That is just ludicrous. That is like saying not being able to play a musical instrument is the equavalent of being a musician.
*** Some people have some evil sins that is they cannot live without.*** Sin is a manmade concept. Some people do evil deeds, but that is true of believers and non-believers alike. *** They do not want to let go of it. The thought of God is dis...
Another clueless creationist pretending that he knows something about cosmology and evolutionary science, when the truth is he knows nothing about it. Do you attack all science, or only science that disproves your mythology? *** After all, belief in ...
Obama won. McCain lost. What difference does it make now?
Of course not. There is absolutely no proof of a designer. Jumping to conclusion like that is just wishful thinking on the part of believers. Intelligent design in a scam created by fanatics in order to force creationism into our kid's science c...
I was raised catholic, went to parochial school, and was even an altar boy. I remember questioning my beliefs at a pretty early age, and by the time I was an adult logic had pretty much toldme it was just mythology. Out of a sense of tradition and be...
A balance of socialism and capitalism would probably be the best system. As filetofspam said, what ever works best should be the criteria, not ideology. Some things are better suited for the free market, and some things are better suited for governme...
*** But NO drugs are homegrown and home consumed products. *** Because they are illegal. If it were legal, one could grow there own pot for personal use. *** Alcohol could be produced within a state's jurisdiction for consumption only within that st...
*** Your teacher is confusing a socioeconomic disparity with a racial one. *** They are not unrelated. While I certainly agree that higher enlistment of minorities in military is primarily due to economic issues and not race, but the fact is, ther...
It is a freakin board game. There are no spirits.
He was probably being hyperbolic, and didn't mean ONLY blacks and latinos die in war. He probably meant blacks and lantinos die in war in proportions higher than the general population. Blacks only make up about 13% of US population, and Latinos abou...
Good question. I have absolutely no answer as to why is didn't set a precedent.
*** so what is worse? killing an innocent or freeing a murderer? in retrospect and logically speaking freeing a murderer is worse because he can kill 1, 2 maybe 10 more people *** What are you talking about? Who said anything about freeing a murderer...
*** I think that if they had a more efficient way of execution then yes.. the whole takes 10 years then the price of it, *** You cannot eliminate the long appeals process when a life is on the line. There would be even more wrongful executions the...
*** Its a good thing.Instead of spending all that money locking someone up for years. *** It costs more to prosecute a death penalty case, than it does to keep them in prison for life. I would write and tell that the death penalty does nothing ...
The main purpose of a criminal justice system is to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens from criminal activity. Executions do nothing to protect society. Capital punishment is nothing but a form of vengence. The state should not be playing go...
I am pretty sure gandhi never won it. Don't be ridiculous. It does not cheapen the award. While I do think it was a little early to give it to him, I can understand why they did.
yes...
ant the person who won the Nobel peace prize had to win an election, and completely reverse Bush's foreign policy of war over diplomacy.
*** b/c he wants to negotiate? negotiation will do nothing more than show weakness, you must be the bully, you gotta beat up the other kids for there lunch money(in a manner of speaking) if your not the bully your nothing in this world, ou know why? *...
*** under the Bush administration we had the largest reduction in Nuclear arms - 30%! *** Source please? ***We are still in Iraq *** And we are withdrawing troops. Obama said we would be out by the end 2010. *** We are still in afganstan...
He got it because his foreign policy is the complete opposite of Bush's. Obama has embraced diplomacy as a vehicle for peace, rather than an excuse to wage war. I think it was premature, and definately was meant as an incentive for Obama to keep rely...
Jefferson wrote the original draft, but much of it was rewritten by the continental congress. And since most of congress had probably already read Paine's calls for independence in Common Sense earlier that year, it would only be logical that there mi...
*** we can choose to do anything we want *** You're right. For instance, someone can choose to change their hair color. But in reality it will never be the real color. Gays can choose to deny what they are and pretend their not gay, but it does...
*** Well Your forgetting that marriage is based off of religIous practices. *** Lots of things can be said to have religious origins. That has nothing to do with how our laws are created. We have separation of church and state. Marriages in this ...
The deifinition of marriage is nothing more than a legal contract or civil union between two consenting adults. Any other definitions would be religious in nature and thus irrelevant to the interpretaion of the 14th amendment. The relevant part of th...
Thanks for the history lesson (I mean that, I did not know all of that), but you know that the term today has a far different meaning. I can understand you not liking it, but it is irrelevant to my usage. I did not show bias to an entire region, I cl...
*** I heard there may be a bigger chance of domestic abuse, because it's harder to find a NEW same-sex partner. This is a point against gay marriage. *** Even if true, which I highly doubt it is, it is not enough to deny law-abiding citizens of thei...
