Why do people get so hung up on this? The bible is a philosophical work. Why do people argue about whether or not it is scientifically accurate when it isn't supposed to be? I'll tell you why, it's because the human brain tends to make false dichotomies or put another way likes to set up...

Is it not obvious that every point that moron narrator made was a MASSIVE distortion of what beck was saying. In fact, his narration of what beck was saying wasn't even in the ballpark. But see, that's how Liberals operate - they debate and refute nothing. All they do is spin and...

Padawan holds a pathological hatred of traditional religion. His attacks on religion are equally as vicious as anything I have heard come from white supremacists with regard to Blacks and Jews. Yes, it is that bad. And just as those White Supremacists are sure their ideas are correct, so too...

I posted a point by point reply and it disappeared. What you should see is that a few of your arguments involving what is and what is not a rational proximate cause is exactly my point. You see, it makes sense to you when you use it to back your position, but when I make it with regard to...

Yes, it is. Islam has specific teachings that encourage violence when CORRECTLY interpreted. People disagree over this but the weight of the evidence shows Islam is violent. And the actions of Muslims are not even remotely comparable to those of other faiths.

The last point is already addressed.

The point, for those who don't get it, is that environmentalists are quick to point the finger at everyone else, but when it comes to the things they enjoy it is a different story. They are all for windmills - just not where THEY can see them. They are all for taking away people's SUVs...

This thread, like most in this forum is becoming silly. I honestly wonder, why people can't seem to look at things from an objective point of view and with a cool head. How does one even begin to compare the dangers associated with alcohol to those associated with a crystal meth addiction...

I would certainly end the war on drugs as we know it. You can't make things like meth and heroin legal because they kill people, but as soon as a person begins using drugs like these they are in need of medical care. Therefore, I would propose that when a guy is arrested and found in...

Or you could just give up smoking weed.

What I understand is that you are using faulty logic. I fully understand that all religions are subject to interpretation and have the potential to be perverted and used to justify wrong doing. Can you understand that this is irrelevant? It is irrelevant because the same thing is true of...

Just wondering how many people will be shutting down their grow rooms in honor of Earth day? In fact, now that I think about it, isn't running an indoor grow room one of the most non eco-friendly things a person can do? I can't imagine one could call one's self and environmentalists while...

See, this is exactly the kind of thing I was talking about in my thread about "both sides." Rational, informed people understand that media outlets such as those publishing this stuff are in the business of keeping their readers reading. So, they do what is called "sensationalizing." That is...

Lol, you are kind of right in a way. But, it isn't quite as dramatic as you think. Often, you might get a few phenotypes and a few different combinations of traits. Breeders sometimes are able to stabilize a strain so that the genetics you want are in most if not all of the seeds. But...

To be sure, politics is a dirty business. I know for a fact, many local governments are corrupt. But when it comes to Presidents waging war in order to impress their fathers, that is just silly talk.

Glad to hear it.

Actually, Sowell was on the Dennis Prager show and Prager ribbed him a bit about being an intellectual and writing a book criticizing intellectuals - they both had a good laugh. If you have never read one of Sowell's many books you ought to. "The vision of the anointed" was nothing short of a...

Padawan, I don't know what else I can tell you. Your responses are are very childish and argumentative and I'm sure that no matter how well I explain things you can continue this pattern. Your intentions are not to open your mind and learn, but merely to bash religion at all costs regardless...

What I am claiming is that you are a Jew hating bigot. You can deny it all you want but the fact is you hold special criticism of Israel that you have for no other countries even when they are more guilty of what you claim and that makes you an anti-Semite. Another thing that proves you are...

I see. So you believe that Bush waged war and sacrificed thousands of lives to satisfy some personal feelings of inadequacy and for no other reason. And furthermore you believe that Chaney was really behind it all as a means to make money. Now, I have to ask - what type of people do you...
