    11 year old girl facing death penalty for "blasphemy"

    Sadly, the truth is often, "uncool."

    11 year old girl facing death penalty for "blasphemy"

    I think that's very insulting to the animal kingdom. Animals never act out of malice or engage in evildoing; only humans do that.

    11 year old girl facing death penalty for "blasphemy"

    Just the sort of thing you'd expect...............form uncivilized barbarians.

    Should art get government subsidies ...

    Yes it should because following a strict interpretation of our constitution it is illegal. Where in the constitution is the government authotized to do this? Nowhere. It violates the tenth amendment.

    Nothing vs Never Ending

    Thank you. I guess you know then that a cube is a square raised into the third dimension and a tesseract is a cube raised into the fourth dimension. To construct such a thing it would be necessary to be able to construct four axes, each one perpendicular to the other three. Being restricted to...

    Nothing vs Never Ending

    Space IS contained. Just like the surface of the earth is contained within a two dimensional space. So long as you're restricted to that two dimensional space you can never raech the moon which requires access to the third dimension. So the earth's surface is said to be finite but unbounded...

    Nothing vs Never Ending

    Unfortunately, you can't do that. Why? You're forgetting that space is curved just like the surface of the earth. You cannot travel along the earth's surface in a straight line because the surface is curved. Try it and eventually you wind up back where you started. The same thing would happen if...

    Nothing vs Never Ending

    Do time, space, energy, matter or any of the physical laws of our universe exist beyond the boundaries of our ever expanding universe? __________________ That is a question we may never be able to answer. Any such area would require a higher dimension of space, a fourth spatial dimension, to...

    Nothing vs Never Ending

    Exactly... Time always has been and always will be... no beginning or end. Though that statement seems to be true, it most likely is not; which becomes obvious whn you study Einstein's discoveries regarding spacetime. Keep in mind that "the universe is not only queerer than we imagine, it is...

    Nothing vs Never Ending

    Time has always existed. That doesn't mean it can't have had a beginning. Actually, no, it appears that time has not always existed. Don't forget we can't talk about time without including space because they are linked. That's why scientists refer to "spacetime." Thus space cannot exist...

    Nothing vs Never Ending

    I refuse to beleive that the Universerve simply ends at 15 Billion years ago, that's just our current viewing limitation. If there is some light from galxies and stars that exist 20 billion light years away... How could we possibly see them if they didn't exist there 20 billion years ago?? Not...

    Nothing vs Never Ending

    Everything we see has always been here. There is no Beginning, and there is no End, to Space or Time. Personally, I find the concept of Nothing, far less likely than the concept of Forever. The trouble with that is that it does not square with the fact that the universe is expanding. Everything...

    Which presidential candidate are you voting for in the 2012 election and why?

    I will also, but I'm not sure about the benefit. I had hoped for some time that Romney would pick Paul Ryan but now that it's a fact, I'm having second thoughts. (I should be careful what I wish for, since I might get it). For one thing, we can expect Mr. Ryan to be savagely and brutally...

    Which presidential candidate are you voting for in the 2012 election and why?

    Oh, yes, of course. In your worldview the government is your friend, something to be loved and cherished. Fortunately the founders of this nation knew better. They knew that government was a necessary evil and that to preserve liberty its power and scope had to be limited.

    You may attach pejorative labels to the truth if you want, but it still remains; the truth.

    Which presidential candidate are you voting for in the 2012 election and why?

    Well, now, they sort of brought it on themselves, didn't they? It was they who attacked us on Decemver 7, 1941. And on December 8th FDR said, "We didn't start this war, but we will certainly finish it." Sadly, this is the nature of war in the twentieth century. It's not like the Nineteenth...

    Which presidential candidate are you voting for in the 2012 election and why?

    Sweden and Denmark are somewhat less socialist than they used to be. They had to back off to avoid economic ruin. Also Sweden and Denmark can afford their socialist programs better than we can since they don't have our huge defence budget. It falls to us not them to be the world's policeman. And...

    Which presidential candidate are you voting for in the 2012 election and why?

    These things pale in comparison to the horrors perpetrated on the world by other nations in the twentieth century and before. Beside, the good that the US has done has more than atoned for it. Don't forget it was the US which rebuilt Europe after it had destroyed itself in World War II. It was...

    Which presidential candidate are you voting for in the 2012 election and why?

    Look at the history of the world over the last 100 years or so. Any place where socialism, Marxism or any of its variations have been tried and the result is wealth destruction, economic ruin, poverty and misery. On tbe other hand where free market capitalism has been the rule, prosperity has...

    And what horrible bad things have we done that need apologizing for? (Let him who is without sin cast the first stone).
