BTW, Tupac was killed by Suge Knight for trying to leave Death Row records after Suge had spent millons on his legal defense.
But that's one for a whole other thread...;)
First off all, where did I condone the lyching of anyone? I was mearly using a more black and white (puntastic) example of what denouncing Bush at the height of his popularity in his home state at a country music concert is equivelant too. I also not trying to say they got what they desereved...
The irony of the respones in this thread is that while most of the posters have been in agreement that God is not only not a myth, but the he/she is the "Absolute Truth", most of you would disagree on the truth of what or who God is.
Bush's approval rating after Katrina was nowhere near as high as it was when the Chicks made their comment. Also, no one has a higher approval rating then Oprah, especially on her own show (in other words people who watch Oprah generally tend to agree with Oprah).
Our bodies became less physically developed as we became more mentally developed. We are tool makers, we craft things to make or lives easier. My father likes to say, "Work smarter, not harder." I don't think there is a better way to put it.
I didn't read all 11 pages of this thread, so I appoligize if I am repeating what has already been stated, but to blame guns on deaths is just rediculous. If people didn't have access to guns they would just starting killing each other with knives, swords, crossbows, and stones again the gun is...
The reason the Dixie Chicks recieved such a backlash over their statement (as opposed to Carlin, Bill Maher, or other political humorists) is because their fanbase at the time was made up of the same people who approved of Bush. People who go to see George Carlin get what they expect and...
The Red Hot Chilli Peppers got ROBBED! Stadium Arcadium was a FAAAAAAAR better album. My girlfriend and I own both albums and we both agreed the Stadium Arcadium should have won album of the year.
Palpatine was using Dooku to create a false threat against the Republic (a .... Phantom Menace if you will) so that he can seize controll of the Senate and implement the clone army he had already commissioned.
First off he said scienific fact, not truth. And there is a way to establish scientific fact from theory, its known as the scientific method and hasn't been revolutionary for centuries.
If i remember correctly, the depletion of the Ozone layer and global warming are seperate issues. I seem to recall scientist attributing the depletion of ozone to the use of aerosol propellants known as CFC's (chloroflorocarbons if I'm not mistaken).

Just one thing, the Muslim world was more scientifically advanced during the Middle Ages because they controlled all of the repositories of ancient learning (Alexandria, Constatinople, ect.).
Who cares about Pat Robertson or Al Gore?
Again, I ask you (or anyone for that matter) if we are causing global warming then who caused the ice age? Like someone stated much earlier in this thread, a single volcanic eruption causes the release of more greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere...
