An agnostic believes it is impossible to prove the existance of a God, and that it is impossible to prove that a God doesn't exist. Simply, that we do not, and are unable to know if a God exists.
Personally, I simply do not follow any particular religion because it is impossible for me to know...
Yea, I should have never stated it as a fact. I should have said, from my POV, it appears we have been dilly-dallying... You make a good point.
Edit: I must also say that there is a case to be made that we have not devoted enough attention to that War, and if we had, it could have been over...
I think the thinking is we did not evolve from apes, but share the same ancestors. The apes being another branch... Anyways, I am not convinced that evolution proves a God does not exist. Evolution may just be something a God set up so that we can adapt to our environments. Oh, and just because...
Roughly 95% of the American people were behind going after al qaeda in Afghanistan 9 years ago... How it has been handled is another story. IMO, We were well within our right to go after them, and a vast majority of Americans agreed. What I don't like, is that they have been dilly-dallying for 9...
Well, yea, Isreal too... understandably. I hope the people in Iran continue to fight for a more rational leader/government. It is always good to see the power of the people being expressed.
First of all, we ALL need to realize that this whole problem is to do with the extremists at both ends of the spectrum. Propaganda is running rampant on both sides. The truth lies somewhere in the middle. A majority of Americans are against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and realize that the...
Nope, it's in this bill, but I was mistaken. It is only for medical devices and they make an exemption for devices sold to the public...

Thanks. I believe it was the Bauchus bill that had the taxes on health products, not this one (at least it didn't say anything about it in the summary). Hard to keep up with all the different bill versions going around.
Their economies were/are socialist, weren't they!?
Some seem to think so...
author:"Burawoy" intitle:"The Soviet transition from socialism to capitalism: ..." - Google Scholar
Venezuela socialist economies - Google Scholar
But, I am no expert, so I could be mistaken... Care to...
Power corrupts, so I would have to say that I, or any other human would ultimately use the power for selfish gains, justified by lies that we all tell ourselves to make us feal comfortable with the things we have done. I believe it to be in our nature...
Um, what countries? Venezuela? USSR? If it helped China so much, why are they abandoning it for Capitalism?
Because, Bill Gates has already contributed vastly to charities, as do MOST billionairs... Do you require them to give most of their money to charity!? What percentage?
Um, I thought the republican candidate was appointed, not voted for in a primary. Based on the election results, I would think she would not have been chosen. And, remember, she was still on the ballot, but only got 6% of the vote, and it was not a large margin of victory for the democrate...
Interesting! Thanks.
Minus Habens isn't my real name, although some would say it should be, especially my wife... LOL! It is latin for absent minded.:)
