Do you believe in the Anti-Christ?
Do you think he exist? Do you think he will come and reign over us? If you do why do you believe in him? Me and my friend were arguing over whether he exist or not. Of course I don't believe he exist. Do you believe in the Anti-Christ?
I would first have to believe in Christ. So no.Do you believe in the Anti-Christ?
He's president :P
The Anti-Christ will be the offspring of Ann Coulter and Michael Moore. As long as we keep them apart, we should be fine.
Yes, but I'll be gone before he comes.
Can't believe in 1 without the other.

As someone said a few posts above mine, in order for me to believe in the Antichrist then I would have to believe in Christ himself. While yes I do believe in him in the sense that he was more of a prophet or philosopher than say, a divinity, he was still just a man, one that may not have even ever existed at that.
No... but if I did, I'd probably say it was Emperor Nero.
Not in the dispensationalist sense, no.

There is no such thing as the Anti-Christ in a literal sense people. Anti in that sense simply means ''against''. The AntiChrist is just a phrase for anybody who does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah.
No. Even if Jesus Christ was a real person, I still don't believe there was or is an Anti-Christ.
I dont believe in an anti-christ anymore than I believe in an anti-me or an anti-whomever.It seems very silly.

SO the girls arent attracted to good guys eh?
I am really good as a person but girls dont find me attractive emotionally. Discuss!SO the girls arent attracted to good guys eh?

As with anything......some will some won't......find one that does like you...
are you attractive physically?
If you're too nice she won't appreciate you and you'll be seen as boring, girls like a challenge. The trick isn't to be an ass but to act busy, don't always fulfill her every want.
When somebody looks at another person, the first thing they see if their physical body... and that's what they earn their initial impression upon. If a girl sees a fat, short and ugly kid sitting alone in the corner of the room, it doesn't matter how good of a personality he may have or how caring he may be. Until somebody actually gets to know that person mentally, they'll always have the first impression of him/her being a loser, and that's that.Don't expect girls to look at you and immediately think, ''Wow, he's got a nice personality!'' You have to make that known to them.

There's more to it than that. Being good alone doesn't make you attractive.
i think good and bad is the wrong term, i personally don't like guys that are submissive and do everything their told. But on the otherhand i dont like guys that are wannabe thugs and wear all black. The only false positive in this is that un submissive guys are normally better looking, and with that they have confidence to back their talk up.So all in all, if you want to not be a wannabe thug to get girls, try to have confidence. I want someone who can walk up to a group of 400 people and just start singing like an idiot, but good looks normally come hand and in with confidence. So there you have it.

The Girl or the Money, you choose.
Ok, so here is the scenario.There is this girl hanging off of a cliff ready to fall to her death, but also some device has he connected up to the huge case that contains 2 Billion dollars. If you take the billion dollars the girl falls to her death, if you save the girl the money burst into flames. What do you do?Catches.The Girls is your girl friend of 2 months. You can't spend the money on anything but essentials.The Girl or the Money, you choose.
Both. When she falls off the cliff she'll land on soft pillow's which I put there. 8)The Girl or the Money, you choose.
Depends on how hot the girl is.
2 months? Money.
I'd keep the money.3 Billion girls out there is enough for me.
Um, can I ask her some questions first? What if I don't really like this girl at all? What if she is a prostitute?
Essentials: Metal Albums.I take the money.
uhh with those damn restraints id have to pick the girl.. who the hell needs 2 billion for essentials who are you feeding? Ethiopia?
Damnit. If her life werent in danger Id go for the money.
The girl. I'm not going to sacrifice ethics for monies.
This may sound horrible but it depends on what essentials are
If essentials = Amazing dining, amazing house, amazing transportation etc then I would take the money
Think about it in terms of economics - 2 billion dollars being left for nothing will damage the country's economy severly, possibly increasing the recession and chances of a depression which in turn equals horrible living standards/suicides/horrible world of the 1930s with little to no hope; so by giving up one person (who I might not even like) I could save millions.
However the moral/ethical answer would be the girl
*You can't spend the money on anything but essentials.....*
I'd go for the girl.
Ok the girl is hot, and you find her to be perfect.Ok... and you can use the money for what ever you want.Now how do you feel about it.
Human life is much more valuable than any amount of money.
Definitely the girl. Plus, I'm sure she would offer some kind of ''reward'' for saving her life. ;)
i dont care if she's my gf, my mother, or my enemy. i'd still pick the girl.
Essentials is vague. Money definitely.
She has to be a wifey or theres no dice.
So it's no work necessary for the rest of my life, or a chick? Dang, I don't know. It's easy to say ''the girl'' but when it came to that moment I don't know if I could. I know, I'm heartless :(
If it's just essentials I'd only spend about 20k of it, the girl.
$2 Billion only on essentials? What type of deal is that? Who has $2 Billion worth of essentials?
Does the girl have $4 Billion? She may be willing to spend a lot on me within those two months.

';When God says it's my time';
So how is it that God decides it's your time when you are murdered by another person who chose to kill you? Did God implant him with an insatiable desire to kill some specific person? Is that what murderers really are? God's messengers sent to send people to the afterlife because it's their time?';When God says it's my time';
Ugh...Why does death have to be decided by god?
One could argue that god was working through the killer...But that is just silly. Even if you believe in god, do you really believe that he has his marionette strings on every single person in the world?';When God says it's my time';
God works in mysteriious ways.
it isnt your'time' to go if someone murders you.if someone takes your life, its playing God, that's why its a sin to murder someone. that saying is applicable only to when you just die on your deathbed of sickness or old age or something
What if medical advances can extend your life? Are you denying God's will? If not, then how is it that there is a plan? If there is, and his plan was for that to happen, where is free will? Hrm.

Democracy's biggest flaw...
Democracy's biggest benefit is the freedom of choice to pick your own leader. No matter your race or sex (age to vote is still a bit high to vote but the mentally ill are allowed to vote :? ), you can vote without having to reveal your choice of party to anyone but who you choose.That's all well and good! But no system is perfect, let's move on from that for a bit and focus on the biggest flump in Democracy's royal custard... if a majority rules, in a Democratic system, that is the law that gets passed. At a first glance this seems to be ok, needs of the majority over the needs of a few, right?Well... take it on the other side. Most of the time, when the public are asked a question, their opinion, they will give an answer that is most likely lacking in compassion for the concerning party. Asking our opinion seems empowering, but is it just keeping us happy while the real decisions are made by a swarm of incompassionate individuals with no interest in the subject other than having their voice heard.I will (shamelessly) bring up the topic of same-sex marriage to be used as an example, as it highlights the theme of compassion and how little democracy inspires in it.QuestionDo you think same-sex marriage should be allowed?...before you even answer that, to give a fair and unbias view you SHOULD consider your own position. Are you in love with someone of the same sex, or is someone you are close to in love with someone of the same sex? What are you basing your opinion on? If you can't answer these then you opinion isn't worthless, but it is worth less in terms of compassion for the people (par example) the prop 8 law effects. If your best friend couldn't get married to the love of their life simply because they loved the wrong person, you would feel that is wrong. If you grew up in a neighbourhood where there were few to no same sex relationships, the idea of gay marriage would be confusing.I am not preaching right or wrong on this, but you can see where I'm coming from with this example... if the opinion of a majority is so volatile and ill-informed, it may as well be a mob. What good mobs have there been in the last 100 years? Stack them up against the bad mobs and you'll have a top-heavy mobometre.To reitterate the actual point of the topic (lest it stray into uncharted or over-crowded waters), the needs of the majority are not reflected in ''public opinion'' indefinately. With the media as a catalyst, the strength of a balanced opinion is crumbling under the weight of the boarish reckonings of a man-on-the-sofa culture. 2 heads may be mightier than one but the balance is all out of skew.Democracy's biggest flaw...
Better education could really fix the issues with perspective and understanding.Democracy's biggest flaw...
[QUOTE=''warbmxjohn'']Better education could really fix the issues with perspective and understanding.[/QUOTE]
Education can only go so far. Especially when it's public. Everything public is a minefield of bureaucracy and subject to the same flaws as democracy.
It's unlikely the government can get a point across without the opposition smearing it for points. Wouldn't it be great if parliament just shut the **** up for once and reached a conclusuion based on their own policies reaching a comprimise rather than picking a more popular side merely to slander the opposition? We need another world war to get that kind of bi-partisanship, what a sorry conclusion!
''No matter your vote the government stil gets in.''?
Democracy's biggest flaw is that at it's heart it's nothing more than majoritarian voting, effectively in its simplest form ''mob mentality'', which is why there must always be safeguards put in place, checks and balances to make sure that:
Democracy doesn't work because the majority of people are idiots.
[QUOTE=''bean-with-bacon'']Democracy doesn't work because the majority of people are idiots.[/QUOTE]Lol so true.But I think that could be extended to, the human race doesn't work because the majority of the human race are idiots.
Democracy does not equal the ''ruling'' of majority. If you would look into a bit more in-depth you'd notice that most decisions made by politicians are not backed up by the majority at all (wars, bail out, green politics, EU Referendum, Abortion, Same Sex Marriage, Smoking Ban, and so forth). Id say, the flaw about democracy is that it only works if people participate, educate themselvs an vote (based on their research). It is a voluntary system and if you neglect it, it simply turns against you and sooner or later things turn for the worse and everyone's asking himself how this could have happened (WWII anyone ?).Still, Democracy may be flawed but it is the best alternative that is out there. If you aim for true perfection in a society, you are not aware of the human nature.Concering same-sex marriage. One should differntiate between agreeing with same-sex marriages (from a subjective viewpoint) and allowing it(from a legal viewpoint). It think it's okay to dismiss the concept of same-sex marriage, yet one should not forbid it in a liberal society.Personally, Id say live and let live, same-sex marriages are good ! (yay)Take careRiver

But Commuism is interesting because it called itself the only ''true'' democracy. Yet most things were controlled by the state instead of just some things :?

Hitler, Mugabee, Stalin and Bush (if the last one even counts) should know better than a tribal community. The public had a responsibility in all of these people coming to power, too (Stalin to a lesser extent).

Great post.
Not many people seem to remember that the US was NOT founded as a democracy. Many of the founding fathers of this country despised democracy. We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC and as such 99% of the poeple should not even have control over 1% of the population. Unfortunately too many people have been brainwashed from their childhoods to believe we are, in fact, in a democracy and that 51% of the poeple control 49% of the populace. It's a shame being that America was formed with the best form of government that has likely ever existed, but because of corporations and corrupt politicians it has been reduced to a mere democracy.

Yes, the USA is deforming from the constitutional ages into a Democracy just like Rome did. As it's such a huge country with many regional variations, the limits put in place by Wasington go over a lot of people's heads. And for a fragile system like Democracy, it's a dirty dirty battleground.
It ''works'' in some places, but there's obvious room for improvement as the flaws are ignored and go unchallenged as people shameless preach Democracy as if it was synonymous with ''the only way we have''. Churchill was right to pick Democarcy, but that was over fascism and communism, the thought of a Constitutional Republic was still punishable by death, technically as it was treasonous.
Democracy is becoming just another dogma in our lives, a club foot in society. It's no longer the best we have if we can do better, and for a start we could begin by telling the press they have a duty of care over the moron public and that they aren't allowed to offer opinion during a factual report and that their intentions are altruistic and there is no agenda. That's step one.

[QUOTE=''warbmxjohn'']Better education could really fix the issues with perspective and understanding.[/QUOTE]
Education can only go so far. Especially when it's public. Everything public is a minefield of bureaucracy and subject to the same flaws as democracy.
It's unlikely the government can get a point across without the opposition smearing it for points. Wouldn't it be great if parliament just shut the **** up for once and reached a conclusuion based on their own policies reaching a comprimise rather than picking a more popular side merely to slander the opposition? We need another world war to get that kind of bi-partisanship, what a sorry conclusion!
''No matter your vote the government stil gets in.''?
Democracy's biggest flaw is that at it's heart it's nothing more than majoritarian voting, effectively in its simplest form ''mob mentality'', which is why there must always be safeguards put in place, checks and balances to make sure that:
- The power of the people is limited (though they'll never tell you this).
- That the rights of minorities of all sectors of society are protected.

Democracy does not equal the ''ruling'' of majority. If you would look into a bit more in-depth you'd notice that most decisions made by politicians are not backed up by the majority at all (wars, bail out, green politics, EU Referendum, Abortion, Same Sex Marriage, Smoking Ban, and so forth). Id say, the flaw about democracy is that it only works if people participate, educate themselvs an vote (based on their research). It is a voluntary system and if you neglect it, it simply turns against you and sooner or later things turn for the worse and everyone's asking himself how this could have happened (WWII anyone ?).Still, Democracy may be flawed but it is the best alternative that is out there. If you aim for true perfection in a society, you are not aware of the human nature.Concering same-sex marriage. One should differntiate between agreeing with same-sex marriages (from a subjective viewpoint) and allowing it(from a legal viewpoint). It think it's okay to dismiss the concept of same-sex marriage, yet one should not forbid it in a liberal society.Personally, Id say live and let live, same-sex marriages are good ! (yay)Take careRiver

I pretty much agree.
But Commuism is interesting because it called itself the only ''true'' democracy. Yet most things were controlled by the state instead of just some things :?

Suicide Thread
Nah, not what you were thinking. This is a question concerning ethics. Picture yourself stranded on an deserted island, you know for pretty much a fact that you won't be getting off because you have just been bitten by an extremely poisonous insect (with no known antidote). Within less than an hour you will feel the most immense pain and not too soon after, death will come, meaning you will suffer for hours before you finally die. You have no contact to the outside and no one knows where you are. However you do a have a handgun. Would you rather suffer until you are dead or would you take the easy way out? Suicide Thread

The whole world has gone to pot.
All around me I'm seeing a bunch of stoned losers celebrating the whole 420 thing and supporting the legalization of marijuana. Here's a wake-up call for them: Marijuana is illegal. It causes lung cancer and brain damage. By using it, you're not contributing anything to society. I'm sick and tired of all the support for an extremely harmful substance. I wish all marijuana smokers were brutally murdered. I'd love for someone to shoot them all in the head and have them twitch in a pool of blood. They deserve the harshest punishments that could be thrown at them. Everyone that supports legalization of marijuana is a pot smoker and all of us non-stoners are against it and we should be because society would seriously be in trouble if we legalized this dangerous drug. The whole world has gone to pot.

Why Europe? = /
Only if Europe includes the person on this thread with the boy band guy in his/her signature. I'm just kidding...kind of. Also, note the irony.
I would not consider wiping out Europe to save the world, but I might consider wiping out America to save the world. After all, one must focus on the least amount of collateral damage in the pursuit of a longer lasting peace.

after everyone in europe was relocated to other continents, yes i would blow it up, because it would save the world and no one would live there anymore.
No, I'd rather wipe out North Korea or most of the USA instead.

Has anyone here taken a basic computer programming course?
I plan to take the class at our college, but its a 16 week course taken down into 4 weeks worth of work, I've done this before with two other classes at the same time but wanted to know is the basic part even hard? thanksHas anyone here taken a basic computer programming course?
It's extremely easy. I know a lot about computers, though. I plan on majoring in computer programming or networking.Has anyone here taken a basic computer programming course?
What exactly does the class entail?
I took an intro to C++ class several years ago. It was really easy but concentrated on creating flowcharts more than programming.
Yes, I've taken it and quite enjoyed it. It's a different kind of logic then what most people usually use though. For some it's really easy and strait forward while others have a lot of trouble with it. It really depends on how your mind works.
No. But I really wish I had :(
Here is the course description taken off the course catalog
The history of computing, basic computer operation, the notion of an algorithm, variable definitions, expressions, input/output, branches, loops, functions, parameters, selection, iterative techniques, arrays, strings
Yep, it's easy if you've got a good plan and know what you're capable of, the hard part comes when things don't go to plan and you have to trace your steps back or make a quick work around.

That's pretty basic to be honest, you should be able to do that in a couple of weeks TBH, i found the hard parts were getting databases and SQL to work.
By the description it looks like the class might be using Visual Basic which is okay for starters, I ended up doing a few VB classes and Intro to C and C++. I found most of it boring. I ended up taking some HTML classes and found that to be much more rewarding. Flash was pretty cool to learn.
Yeah and I ended up changing majors. Programming is sadly not for me it seems.

Stephen Hawking ';very ill'; in hospital
One of the most brilliant minds since Einstein was rushed to hospital with a severe chest infection.Stephen Hawking was one of the people I most looked up to in life. (Along with Terry Fox). He overcame adversary and continued to use his incredible mind to help humanity become more knowledgable about the world around them. And he held a good sense of humour through all of his physical troubles. One of his most important theories is Hawking Radiation.Stephen Hawking ';very ill'; in hospital
I admire him too but I have to take a pessimistic view of this; we've been lucky to have him for as long as we have already.Stephen Hawking ';very ill'; in hospital

-- what if...
...one fine day you were told that you only had 24 more hours to live, and (only YOU) could spend billions of dollars in that time. What would you do in your final 24 hours?-- what if...
I'd give most of it to various charities and also purchase homes and cars for my family and settle any debt they may have.And then I'd buy some Taco Bell :P-- what if...
Give all the money to my family.
Ask where these billions of dollars were coming from.
Get people out of debt probably, buy a company, buy some nuclear weapons (that's right...all the tea in China), get drunk and dress up like a German Uboat captain and claim I'm Napoleon.
I would spend the final 24 hrs with those i love
1. Buy nuclear weapons

I'd give most of it to various charities and also purchase homes and cars for my family and settle any debt they may have.And then I'd buy some Taco Bell :P-- what if...
Give all the money to my family.
Ask where these billions of dollars were coming from.
Get people out of debt probably, buy a company, buy some nuclear weapons (that's right...all the tea in China), get drunk and dress up like a German Uboat captain and claim I'm Napoleon.
I would spend the final 24 hrs with those i love
1. Buy nuclear weapons
2. Fire at Russia from U.S. soil
3. ?????
4. Profit

Who is the most famous person you met?
just wondering. i haven't met many famous people but probably the most famous person i met was Randall Cunningham. I saw him at a park in 5th grade and i shook his hand. Who is the most famous person you met?
I went to high school with a NFL player. Jay Richardson.
He's not that big of a name though.Who is the most famous person you met?
Some of the Atlanta Falcon team, and sadly lil bow wow...
I haven't met one... but MC Hammer lives here.
Mat Hoffman is the most famoous person I have met. I have actually met and rode with most BMX pros, for what it is worth.
no one :(
My work and where I live helps me meet a lot of famous people... but its gotten to the point where I don't really see them as that big of a deal. Now, meeting people who happen to be famous and great people at the same time... that's another story.

Gosh a decent handful I suppose. The most recent was Martha Stewart this last Sunday but she's kind of a stickler for time so I just tried to stay out of her way most of the time as I can get kind of chatty once I get going.
I didn't meet him, but I saw Booker T leaving the 7-Eleven that my brother and I were pulling up into near LAX.Also, I was about 10 feet away from one of my favorite Dodgers, Shawn Green, at the stadium during batting practice. I almost got his autograph, but he had to leave cause the BP was over :cry:

Is omnipotence self-contradictory?
Well, I thought it would be interesting to see how this turned out. I'm sure you're all familiar with the classic ''can God create a rock so heavy he cannot lift it'' example, which has been argued to death on both sides, with no clear result. Before I proceed, let me point out that I have used this argument before, and now see that the argument is far more complex than this.Here is my discussion of omnipotence. I do not wish to prestate where I am heading with this, although many of you probably already know, since it will bias people toward or against my arguments. Feel free to post your own arguments, to criticize or support mine, or to just merely state whether or not you think omnipotence is self-contradictory.The problem with omnipotence rests in the fact that it is not really measurable. The ''create a rock so heavy that cannot lift it'' argument relies on this notion, and so cannot really be argued effectively for or against. However, let us create a function P(xj s.t. j belongs to J) to measure the power of a being. Each variable xj is some aspect that determines a being's power. J is an arbitrary set, which may be finite or infinite, and countable or uncountable. This function, which I will now abbreviate P(X) (where X = {xj s.t. j belongs to J}), has a few basic properties, even though the exact function cannot, for obvious reasons, be determined. The first is that an omnipotent being should maximize P(X), and that the omnipotent being should be unique (in other words, if P(A) = P(B) and P(A) = max(P(X)), then A = B). In other words, no two different sets of conditions should be able to yield the maximum power. Moreover, it can be assumed that P(X) is weakly monotone. That is to say, given to sets A and B, if ai > bi for some i belonging to J, and ak = bk for all other k belonging to J, then P(A) > P(B). This is only natural, considering that, for example, a being that can lift a 1000 pound rock, holding all other abilities constant, is necessarily more powerful than a being that can lift a 999 pound rock.Now, omnipotence can fall into two categories: either it can be constrained by logical paradoxes; or it can defy logical paradoxes. Let us consider each case separately.Case 1 (constrained by logical paradoxes)Given that the being is constrained by logical paradoxes, it cannot both be able to lift any weight and create a rock so heavy it cannot lift. This does not defy omnipotence, however, since omnipotence was said to be constrained by logical paradoxes. Now, consider two set, A and B. All properties are assumed to be maximized, save for two: the ability to create a rock so heavy that it cannot be lifted (belonging to A); and the ability to lift any weight (belonging to B). One of these two bundles, however, must be the set that yields omnipotence, since no other properties can be altered to increase P(X). The natural conclusion would be to state that the ability to lift any weight would be more ideal than the ability to create a rock so heavy that it cannot be lifted, so that the set B would be preferred to A. It is important to note that P(B) is not greater than P(A) by mere monotonicity, since set A contains an ability that set B does not, and since set B has an improved form of an ability that set A has. Now, consider under what circumstances set B might be preferred. Say there is a rock that the being needs to move from point C to point D. With set B, the rock could simply be picked up and moved there. However, with A, this is not possible. Let us presume that, with set A, the being can lift a maximum weight of w, and that the rock has a weight of q, such that q > w. By the Archimedian Property, there exists a natural number N s.t. wN > q. Hence, w > q/N. In other words, if the rock is broken up into N pieces of equal weight, the being should be able to lift each piece separately. By moving the pieces separately from C to D and reforming to rock at point D, it can mimick the action of simply moving the rock from C to D. Consider that, for any time (t1 > 0) it takes the being to move the original rock from C to D, there is some time t2 s.t. t1 > t2 > 0 (this follows from the fact that the set of all real numbers is dense). Hence, the time it takes the being to move the rock from C to D is lim(tx) (tx->0) = 0. In the case where it must move each piece separately, the time taken to move the rock from C to D is lim(N*tx) (tx->0) = N*lim(tx) (tx->0) = N*0 = 0. Hence, the method applied under set A takes no more time than the method applied under set B. Similar logic can be applied for energy expenditure, inconvenience, etc. In other words, the being would have no preference between sets A and B under such circumstances. Similar logic can be applied to other circumstances. Hence, the power of a being is the same in A and B, so P(A) = P(B). However, we now have P(A) = P(B) = max(P(X)) when A =/= B, which contradicts the original assumption. Hence, omnipotence is self-contradictory in the case of it being constrained by logical paradoxes.Case 2 (unconstrained by logical paradoxes)In this case, being unconstrained by logical paradoxes, the omnipotent being could obviously both lift any rock and create a rock so heavy that it could not be lifted. By similar logic, the omnipotent being could create a being more powerful than itself, since it is unconstrained by this evident logical paradox. Let Y be the set for the omnipotent being, and Z be the set for the new being. Hence, P(Z) > P(Y). However, since P(Z) > P(Y), P(Y) =/= max(P(X)), meaning that the being of set Y is not omnipotent, which is a clear contradiction. Hence, omnipotence is self-contradictory under case 2.Given omnipotence is self-contradictory in both cases, omnipotence is self-contradictory.Thanks to all those who post. Sorry my OP was so long :P.Is omnipotence self-contradictory?

Yeah omnipotence is just some BS religion made up. But people get upset when I tell them this because they think I'm arguing against God's existence. Not so, just saying that if there is a God, we have to update how we think of it; ergo (I love using that word), if there is God, it would surely have physical limitations (probably much less than we have but limitations nonetheless).

Evolution or Creation: You Choose (Poll)
How did we come to be? Through billions of years of Evolution? Or through supernatural Creation?I believe in Creation, because of my faith, but also due to the amount of evidence in favour of it - [url=http://emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs/top.htm] Top Evidences for Creation[/url]. What about you?EDIT: To specify, I mean Creation as told in Genesis 1-2 of the Bible. Evolutionary Creationism, or Theistic Evolution fall under ''other''. :)Evolution or Creation: You Choose (Poll)
Science and religion can go hand in hand, but this is like oil and water.Evolution or Creation: You Choose (Poll)
Why do people think they have to be mutually exclusive?
BothI'm one of those ''crazy'' Christians who believes evolution %26 creation are not mutually exclusive. :)
''Creationism'' is the theological manifestation of the ''Golden Mean'' fallacy.
Creation and evolution can exist side by side. But only one requires faith because of a lack of any evidence whatsoever.
I chose evolution (on it's own). I don't believe in a creator
evolution, evidence backs it up and sadly im one of those people that cant believe anything as i always get dissapointed in the end
I will take evolution. And while I am not a believer,even if there was a god I would still like to believe he did it through evolution,not ''just *poof* here is life,and wait a minute*hides fake dinasour bones* that should really throw off those who do not follow me''.

Does this font annoy you?
Cause apparently it annoys alot of people. So much in fact that there is a worldwide movement to have it banned. Do you find it annoying? Personally I don,t think so.Does this font annoy you?
Nah, its not annoying o.O.Does this font annoy you?
Comic Sans is okay. But I totally prefer Arial.
someone likes their yahoo news stories.
people need to stop watching TV to much, it hurts their eyes to much, so they can't read it, because i like it.
A little bit, not enough to do anything about it though
It doesn't bother me. ;)
Very slow to read; some of us have to get on with our lives damn it.
Nope. I like that font. :D
I would not use it,but I have no issue with it.
A little.
pft Garamond ftw
nope i like comic sans just as much as i like times new romaqn
i love comic sans :lol:
Comic Sans is awesome! It is a little bit slower to read than the normal fonts but it is cool!
Nope, it never annoyed me. I dont even know how people can find that annoying..
God, that's annoying. That rounded curve, that blatantly pretentious '' Ohh looky me I'm a comic book font so much better than all the other fonts!''. It should be eradicated from the universe and left to rot in pieces.:xNah just kidding. Doesn't bug me at all. It's actually one of my favorites.
no it's not
Yes, people who use it need to be taken out and shot. :

Pool or Hot-Tub
Vote :DPool or Hot-Tub
Relaxing in the hottub with a beer is one of life's simple pleasures. 8)Pool or Hot-Tub
I love both, but I still would rather swim.
It's always hot here, so I definitely vote pool. Besides, hot tubs can keep STD's alive long enough to infect other people....
warm pool
Pool with a heating option ftw!
Nothing spreads disease like an improperly kept hot tub!
As much as I like a hot tub, hot women, and a cold beer, swimming on a warm day can't be beat. Though I'd rather just go to the beach.
[QUOTE=''Sajedene'']Pool with a heating option ftw![/QUOTE]
I second that.
Hot tub. I don't like swimming
haha how about both!
stay cool in the pool 8)
I'd go for the hot tub. As long as it isn't a public one.
A hot tub is more romantic.A pool is more for fun parties.Glad I have both a pool and a jacuzzi.
Hot tub, just since I live in Minnesota and could actually use it year round.
Anyways I think I get quite enough pool time through the local swim club.

US vs. Canada vs. Britain [not a poll]
So if they all went up against each other today, not like the Revolutionary war or War of 1812 even though the US pwned the Brits. Who would win?US vs. Canada vs. Britain [not a poll]
The US pwned the Brits in the War of 1812? I don't think so...US vs. Canada vs. Britain [not a poll]
The US would win easily, it wouldn't even be a challenge(assuming no one else gets involved).
US has nuclear bombs 1000x the power of those used against Japan, Canada has a $1000 army, Britain has some small missiles.
These threads are pointless, lets worry about the real threat instead!
Canada has the best army in the world: Bears riding on top of bears.

Israel.
You always get the American patriots coming in saying the US would win. Considering Britain is so small, we would sure put up a challenge for you yanks!
Not really a fan of hypotheticals that would never happen in our lifetime.
The British army has the best soilders.
The US has the best tech?
Canada?

Wow, Canadian history books tell it wayy differently. Apparently Britain had much less forces but completely outsmarted the Americans. In the end US and Britain did sign a treaty or whatever saying the no one won, but it definitely seemed like Britain kicked ass.
Don't make it obvious or anything...

James Madison, who was the president at the time, actually led a small group of soldiers out on to the battlefield and Madison was forced to retreat. The War of 1812 was a real embarrassment for the U.S. The only bright spot was the Battle of New Orleans, but we won that after the war was already ended.
Well seeing as the US could wipe the entire land mass that is Britain out with minimum effort.. I think the US would win. plus the British Navy is no longer what it use to be, America has the best navy and for an Island like Britain that is a big problem.

Im tired of these Motha !@$#*&#.... wait what?
Tv sucks...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4t6zNZ-b0A%26feature=player_embeddedIm tired of these Motha !@$#*%26amp;#.... wait what?
I actually like that line better! :PIm tired of these Motha !@$#*%26amp;#.... wait what?
Yeah I saw that, I prefer it when they just bleep out the words instead of coming up with stupid replacements
lol.Monkey fighting snakes
So tell me, what exactly is a Monday to Friday plane?
The replaced words don't really make sense. So they should've just cencored it.
That makes absolutely no sense. Why not just censor it? Or better yet show it at a time when you dont HAVE to censor it? :P
Monkey fighting snakes? :lol:
[QUOTE=''Legendaryscmt'']So tell me, what exactly is a Monday to Friday plane?[/QUOTE]
Wow,l It's obviously a plane that flies only on the weekdays, Monday to Friday for some reason.
Yeah, I heard it on FX the other day when they were showing it.. I was wondering, did I hear that correctly?:lol:
When do the snakes fight monkeys? And what's a Monday to Friday plane?
Very interesting this is.
:lol: Wait, wait wait... that was actually a serious attempt of censoring? I thought it was a stupid joke that someone had edited in from another movie... it made me laugh because of how dumb it was.
everyone knows what the line is anyway, why do they even bother
[QUOTE=''Legendaryscmt'']So tell me, what exactly is a Monday to Friday plane?[/QUOTE]A VERY looooooooong plane ride.
can someone hyperlink it for me?

Where did all the girls come FROM?
Just a few years ago there were little to no females here..now they are everywhere.....
this was my escape... they have followed us here and we cannot get rid of them.
at first the old users thought this would be great but when the girls came more users were getting banned at an alarming rate. when we enter girl threads we didnt want the information coming from the girls we wanted some weird nerd virgin. My data shows epic threads have declined since the mass immigration?! What are your thoughts on this? im totally not gay btwWhere did all the girls come FROM?
It's nice to have some diversity.Where did all the girls come FROM?
I find this really offensive. I've been here since 2006 and I happen to like it. I think I will stay :)
It's nice to have some female users on here. I was getting sick of talking to all these dudes, anyway... :P
Mars.
OMG the sausage fest has been broken up :(

This is your first post and you only registered today. How could you possibly know about an increase in female members? I also think it is quite an offensive view to take.
Well, they're not really the girls we're using to seeing everyday, considering the far majority of girls do not hang around places like gamespot.
