FWIW, This is a 14 YO that is more mature than a whole LOT of 24 year olds I know. Overall he's a good kid. Don't flame him please. illegible usually

Which responce? If you mention Iraq, I'm only going to laugh at you I mostly agree with W on this one. Afganistan and the Taliban needed to be taken out. They were. We should have finished that job before we started anything else IMO. (BTW, we aren't done there yet) illegible usually

This would seem to me to be a very open invitation to discrimation lawsuits. illegible usually

Do you get to choose your meal? Seriously tho, WTF do the PETA people think the aquarium feeds to the fish? illegible usually

I think that you (and many others) need to re-read the constitution. I think that ALL churches should be treated EXACTLY as other non-profits are. If you can't be transparent and open, what are you hiding? illegible usually

Good luck finding American soldiers to do that. I would rather run to Canada than to blow myself up. There are plenty of americans that would take that task, willingly if the goals were great enough. Ask any marine if he would die for our country. I know the answer. The real question is should he have to. illegible usually

You mean like sending Missionaries over to the new world to convert all the godless natives? Or were you talking about plundering the gold and the bio-warfare? We are all savages. illegible usually

More voters than not seem to think that he is. Though most agree now that he can't run a country... http://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm illegible usually

We could possibly do this by resisting the instinct to reproduce ... most people think having kids is a good idea. Nobody's telling us it isn't. .. but would the economies hold up? The economies won't hold up as the are currently structured since they all rely on unlimited, continual growth. This is not sustanable in any system. Eventually the pyramid scheme fails. Controlled or uncontrolled is (possibly) our choice. illegible usually

The playtpus is just one example of how evolution can result in different ways of dealing with a set of conditions in isolated areas. Panda bear thumbs are another. http://www.athro.com/evo/pthumb.html Surely this wasn't an Inteligent Design Any god dumb enough to give two thumbs to a mammal isn't worth worshiping in my book illegible usually

that's a lot of blow in the flow... http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7798 illegible usually

more correctly, your odds of death are exactly 1:1. Just a question of when and how. Today is not a good day to die (tommorow isn't looking that great either) illegible usually

Are you admiting that there were once other living gods? illegible usually

Agreed. Religions are mostly a somewhat successful attempt to moderate our animalistic nature. It's mostly just the animals that use religion as a source of power that create the problems associated with religion. illegible usually

It does include component vid cables though so you should be able to hook it up directly to a HDTV and get tru 1080i without the firewire. Still haev to hook up hte cam directly. You could also firewire footage to your MAC/PC and edit in HD and show the footage that way also. Have to wait a few more months for HD-DVD/Blueray to make something like this more than a rich man's toy. (Not that I don't want one anyway...) illegible usually

I nearly died due to a reserve/main PC entanglement that was the result of a one-hand-each handle cutaway from a baglocked main. Best I can figure, the main did not seperate quickly enough due to a lack of drag and good riser protection. My drill now is to cutaway, check for seperation, then reserve. Make sure the main is gone before firing the reserve if altitude and circumstances allow. illegible usually

So is war a built-in human tendency to preserve the species by reducing the population? Blues, Dave Only one of the four horsemen. War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death I'd give pestilence (disease) and famine the nod in the race. Biological systems will always try to achieve equilibrium, right now we are out of balance. There will be something that will reduce the population. To the original post, I’d guess we’ve got about 3 generations before either there is a population crash that partially resets the clock, or a voluntary (designed) evolution of humanity. We will have the technology to create custom life through DNA splicing and cloning in the near future, how we will use this is an open question. There is no doubt in my mind that IF there is no major crash that sets us back, that humanity will use this ability (DNA splicing) to evolve. There will probably even be wars fought over human gene splicing, but it will be tried. Perhaps very covertly at first, but then more openly as the success of ‘superhuman’ beings leaks out. illegible usually

Ahh but you don't understand. The fossil record exactly supports the flood. When God started the floods the smallest animals were the first to die. Hence they are found in the lowest layers. Honestly . I can't tell if you were being sarcastic or not but I hope you realize the very early fossils are aquatic. Since these animals lived IN WATER, at the bottom of the ocean, it's unlikely they would have even noticed a flood. illegible usually
