Just came back from spending the weekend with family and had to read the whole goddamn (oops) thing. May I just say that Zenister, you rock. I've been an atheist until I took a philosophy course. There I realized that atheism is simply another form of religion, so I questioned myself some more, ala Descartes. And I came to the final barrier: What do you mean by God? The word God is bandied about like some volleyball. When you say God, what do you mean? Omnipotent+Omniscient+Omnibenevolent? It's a valid definition, of course, but it seems to be rather bland. Furthermore, the omnipotent part of it is not too compatible with science. I have developed my own definition of God, but I won't post it here cause it's rather long. Another thing I want to add. Regarding science, unfortunately things are not that simple. When you are talking about Newtonian mechanics, the reproducible experiment thing comes into play. Today we have a branch of physics called quantum mechanics, where the experiments are so complex and the subject so alien that they are beginning to put new twists on old Newton. Has anyone here read Sir Karl Popper? Or good old Occam? Regardless, all of this is just an interpretation of Hume. Science is an inductive argument: because it has happened so in the past, it should continue in the future. This becomes more and more convincing as the number of occurances grows, but it never reaches 100%. This is, in fact, the real difference between religion and science. Religion is deductive - we begin with our concept of God and take it from here. Science is inductive - collect observations on the world and attempt to predict future interactions by examining the past. Which argument is stronger, in a purely logical sense? Religion. But, it's not much of an argument if you think about it. Whenever you take an axiomatic premise about the real world, this premise can be reversed. In other words, if you assume something, prepare for people to reverse your assumptions. This wonderful argument shouldn't die. Please post your concepts of God, so we may continue slinging the proverbial mud at each other

Depends on what you call God. You could say I'm not sure, but my concept of God is so different from the usual that it doesn't really matter. Did you know Einstein believed in God? It's a favourite of the televangelists. He believed in a God that created the universe and left it alone, like winding up a clock.

My first freefall. I've been having trouble with the TRCP for a while, so I've been really pumped about it. First jump of the day - TRCP. Come off the step, do everything too fast, land bummed out. Instructor comes, says I did good, approves me for freefall. Running around, shouting at everyone, and jumping on my friends ensues. Next jump, first freefall - turtle (I'm not very good at this

I have a bud who's doing a CS bachelors, but wants an MBA. He wants to start his own business with it. He figures "what better way to learn?"

On their knees? At gun point? Did the family resist the handcuffing? Of course, here we are getting to the point where neither of us know. But I would imagine that the police should only get violent if the alleged offenders seem dangerous. You seem to be a policeman. Does a guy with a wife, a kid and two dogs seem dangerous to you? If yes, I hope I'm never a suspect for you. EDIT: Let me emphasize that I am not arguing about the handcuffing part. But if you attack, and yes, attack, every suspect you see, expect lawsuits. And rightfully so. When it's you who is handcuffed and your dog is shot in front of you, you tell me it wasn't excessive. And when you report something suspicious to the cops that turns out to be nothing, you admit you are sticking your nose in someone elses business.

Do you watch the news? If yes, why? Even ignoring the dog, why did they handcuff them at gunpoint if they were not resisting? Having trouble coming up with a good reason for that.

This was a cop. Cops have procedure. And I'm absolutely certain that it does not involve handcuffing a family (with children, no less) at gunpoint based on one witness who said he may have seen something. The dog part is irrelevant to the above. That is already wrong and more than enough grounds for a lawsuit. This is one of the things you really don't want police doing. And then a policeman feels threatened by a dog. Maybe it was a big mean angry dog. From the article that is decribing a video, it doesn't seem to be. They may be lying, but they would have to be lying outright. Creative interpretation of facts, yes, but lying? Stretching it a little, no? If you are scared of an obviously playful dog, policing may not be the job for you. These cops sound like a bunch of joyriders to me. Just cause they're cops doesn't mean they're not assholes. In some countries, +ahem+Russia+ahem+, you can be pulled over by a cop, a real cop, for the explicit purpose of being RAPED. That sound right to you? Do we need to investigate that too? As to media, of course they don't do a good job of covering pretty much anything, but you have to draw a line at something. If not, just don't read any news articles at all. Better yet, learn to separate the facts from the observations. Something captured on video sounds like fact to me. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.
