    More Fun with the Goomers at TSA

    I`m taking the train from now on. This is ridiculous.

    Fighting Two Fronts

    That`s fine because now that you`ve stated it I`m less certain on my viewpoint than I was as well. :) Cosmology/Astrophysics is a topic I love but find difficult to get beyond a laymans understanding of so when I hear something that conflicts with my views I want to check it out...

    Do you have a reference for this?

    Fighting Two Fronts

    And you are confirming my earlier statement that you ascribe more to my words than my intent. I have no problem understanding or believing that a myth can be based upon and/or dissected to find fact. In fact I believe most myths have this property to one extent or another. The trouble is...

    Fighting Two Fronts

    Can you suport this statement? Has anyone ever seen the "creation" of matter? What do you base your belief that matter can be created on?

    Fighting Two Fronts

    No, I see nothing wrong with replacing a myth with ignorance "regardless" of other peoples views. You seem to be creating a position for me that I haven`t ascribed to. I am in no way "ignorant of what I believe" concerning the topic of the origins of the universe. My belief is that there is...

    Fighting Two Fronts

    "Axiom" is a very misused or undeserved label in this context. Simply because something is presumed doesn`t mean it is correct. In essence I see nothing wrong with replacing a myth with ignorance, I find it preferable in fact. I also find it interesting that "I don`t know" isn`t an...

    Questions for those who believe Jesus is just a construction of several figures?

    I don`t think it proves anything. I think it leaves open the possibility that Jesus was indeed a construction of some sort. That`s the hypothesis I lean towards anyway. Even if Jesus was indeed a single historical figure the legend and mythos that have surrounded him for millennia lend to...

    Jesus Barabbas : Son of the father Barabbas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Not a shabby conspiracy theory.

    "My Son Serves So You Can Be Free"

    Really? I thought they were refreshing and insightful but I always appreciate honesty. So...one of the few people on this thread who is actually in the military is the one with a limited view of the military? Do you have a clue how that makes you sound? :facepalm: That`s so cute!

    Half of US Teens Meet Criteria for Mental Disorder

    Dammit Dallas, if you keep giving him serious answers he`s gonna keep asking questions!! OK..fine, I`d probably have a neurologist run a few scans myself, but if he can`t figure it out I`m heading right back to my drug dealer. At least then I could rationalize a source for the voices. :)

    MSNBC & Wash Post....dangerous misinformers?

    I don`t doubt it and know that almost all our media is nothing more than a propaganda arm for one group or another. Some more transparent than others but ultimately all US media pretty much is nothing but spin. It`s a chore just trying to get enough qualified info to make an informed opinion...

    My drug dealer, at least he has some knowledge in his area of expertise.

    MSNBC & Wash Post....dangerous misinformers?

    I`m in agreement with Skwim here. I think Klien was referring to the reading being a gimmick with no binding power which of course it is. I`ll feel better just knowing those idiots in congress have finally read the damn thing. I hold no hope for them actually comprehending it though. :)...

    Half of US Teens Meet Criteria for Mental Disorder

    I know just as many preists who are truly helpful to their followers. Doesn`t give the basis of belief for that help a bit of credence though. There`s a statement without a foundation. Shrinks have been unnecessarily drugging our kids with serious neural chemicals without a clue of the...

    HEY! I married a girl from Venice, Florida. Also, to call Venice a "City" is a great exaggeration. :)

    Half of US Teens Meet Criteria for Mental Disorder

    There`s the problem. Scientific studies are worthy of consideration. Psychiatry follows/understands the scientific method about as well as VooDooism does. I mean no disrespect to the followers of Voodoo.

    How are you okay with that?

    Your first premise is ******** therefore the rest of your construction fails. In what legitimate equitable system does the seriousness of a crime depend upon the status of the victim? The entire idea is totally bereft of anything resembling justifiable morality.

    Dangerous knife wielding thug caught!

    Back in 2001 they expelled a National Merit Scholar a month or so before graduation for having a butter knife on the back seat floorboard of her car at school. She had been moving and the knife apparently fell out of a box. She didn`t even know it was there. Dunno how school officials saw it...

    An Atheist Meets God

    Whew! Glad I`m on the right path, sure wouldn`t want to be following a supposedly all-knowing being so full of logical fallacy. He`s pretty self absorbed as well.
