Are you sure about that? The Republicans are counting the primary votes of those two states. They decreased their value, but are not invalidating them. I'll vote against the least desirable candidate, as usual, by voting for the candidate of the opposing party (of the two parties that actually matter in our system). If I were going to waste my vote with a write in, it certainly wouldn't be for Clinton or Obama, it would be for someone qualified for the job. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour!

Are you suggesting the primaries are not an integral part of the election process? If not, I don't understand how you could come to the conclusion that "[n]o one's vote will be tossed." That is exactly what occurs if their votes aren't counted. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Yeah, because voters actually having a voice is bad. What do those voters think the US is, a democracy/representative republic? How silly of them. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

You realize that Israel has allies with veto power on the UNSC, right? That there even are UNSC resolutions against Israel is a testament to the severity of their actions and human rights abuses. How many of these resolutions have Israel complied with? Resolution 252 (1968) Israel Urgently calls upon Israel to rescind measures that change the legal status of Jerusalem, including the expropriation of land and properties thereon. 262 (1968) Israel Calls upon Israel to pay compensation to Lebanon for destruction of airliners at Beirut International Airport. 267 (1969) Israel Urgently calls upon Israel to rescind measures seeking to change the legal status of occupied East Jerusalem. 271 (1969) Israel Reiterates calls to rescind measures seeking to change the legal status of occupied East Jerusalem and calls on Israel to scrupulously abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention regarding the responsibilities of occupying powers. 298 (1971) Israel Reiterates demand that Israel rescind measures seeking to change the legal status of occupied East Jerusalem. 446 (1979) Israel Calls upon Israel to scrupulously abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention regarding the responsibilities of occupying powers, to rescind previous measures that violate these relevant provisions, and "in particular, not to transport parts of its civilian population into the occupied Arab territories." 452 (1979) Israel Calls on the government of Israel to cease, on an urgent basis, the establishment, construction, and planning of settlements in the Arab territories, occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem. 465 (1980) Israel Reiterates previous resolutions on Israel's settlements policy. 471 (1980) Israel Demands prosecution of those involved in assassination attempts of West Bank leaders and compensation for damages; reiterates demands to abide by Fourth Geneva Convention. 484 (1980) Israel Reiterates request that Israel abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention. 487 (1981) Israel Calls upon Israel to place its nuclear facilities under the safeguard of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency. 497 (1981) Israel Demands that Israel rescind its decision to impose its domestic laws in the occupied Syrian Golan region. 573 (1985) Israel Calls on Israel to pay compensation for human and material losses from its attack against Tunisia and to refrain from all such attacks or threats of attacks against other nations. 592 (1986) Israel Insists Israel abide by the Fourth Geneva Conventions in East Jerusalem and other occupied territories. 605 (1987) Israel "Calls once more upon Israel, the occupying Power, to abide immediately and scrupulously by the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Times of War, and to desist forthwith from its policies and practices that are in violations of the provisions of the Convention." 607 (1986) Israel Reiterates calls on Israel to abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention and to cease its practice of deportations from occupied Arab territories. 608 (1988) Israel Reiterates call for Israel to cease its deportations. 636 (1989) Israel Reiterates call for Israel to cease its deportations. 641 (1989) Israel Reiterates previous resolutions calling on Israel to desist in its deportations. 672 (1990) Israel Reiterates calls for Israel to abide by provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention in the occupied Arab territories. 673 (1990) Israel Insists that Israel come into compliance with resolution 672. 681 (1990) Israel Reiterates call on Israel to abide by Fourth Geneva Convention in the occupied Arab territories. 694 (1991) Israel Reiterates that Israel "must refrain from deporting any Palestinian civilian from the occupied territories and ensure the safe and immediate return of all those deported." 726 (1992) Israel Reiterates calls on Israel to abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention and to cease its practice of deportations from occupied Arab territories. 799 (1992) Israel "Reaffirms applicability of Fourth Geneva Convention…to all Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including Jerusalem, and affirms that deportation of civilians constitutes a contravention of its obligations under the Convention." 904 (1994) Israel Calls upon Israel, as the occupying power, "to take and implement measures, inter alia, confiscation of arms, with the aim of preventing illegal acts of violence by settlers." 1073 (1996) Israel "Calls on the safety and security of Palestinian civilians to be ensured." 1322 (2000) Israel Calls upon Israel to scrupulously abide by the Fourth Geneva Convention regarding the responsibilities of occupying power. 1402 (2002) Israel Calls for Israel to withdraw from Palestinian cities. 1403 (2002) Israel Demands that Israel go through with "the implementation of its resolution 1402, without delay." 1405 (2002) Israel Calls for UN inspectors to investigate civilian deaths during an Israeli assault on the Jenin refugee camp. 1435 (2002) Israel Calls on Israel to withdraw to positions of September 2000 and end its military activities in and around Ramallah, including the destruction of security and civilian infrastructure.

source From your source: "Our position consistently has been that the Michigan and Florida delegations should be seated [at the Democratic National Convention] and that we should come up with a system that is fair to all the parties involved," Obama says.

I don't think Clinton should be punished because Obama didn't have the sense to get on the ballot in Michigan. He didn't refrain from getting on the ballot in Florida, so he can't claim that it was because the Michigan primary didn't count. So, yes, I think she has a legitimate claim to the popular votes that she earned in those two states. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

That's true. It can also be written: delta E · delta t >= h/(4 · pi) Are you suggesting that Energy was created during some period of time delta t immediately following the singularity? Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Are you suggesting that the Uncertainty Principle applied at the instant of the Big Bang? I don't see how that could be possible, since the singularity "contained" all space, time and mass.

You're half right. I was confusing UFT with Theory Of Everything. Apparently, while similar, they are not identical. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

I think your conclusions could be the basis of a hypothesis worthy of testing, but I don't think they are any more (perhaps not even as) credible as the conclusion that there is a real possibility that free will does not exist. I don't think free will and unified field theories are related concepts. I would suggest you don't fully understand the implications of a Unified Field Theory. If everything can be predicted based on knowledge of initial conditions, the implication is that everything is predestined. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

There, I fixed it for ya! Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

If there is no free will then there is no value in piety. There is also no value in accomplishment. Only hedonism remains. Before we could jump to that conclusion, we would have to determine the value of the perception of free will, assuming, for argument's sake, that free will doesn't exist. Still, there is much to be said for happiness being the single most important thing in life, the real measure of how well one has lived. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Nor am I, but what it does do is make it clear that free will is not a given. Maybe it exists, maybe it doesn't. I am inclined to believe that the latter is the case, if only because I have faith that one day mankind really will discover a Unified Field Theory, even if it does not occur in my lifetime.

I think you are confusing the terms theory and hypothesis. A scientific law is an observed phenomena, such as gravity. A scientific theory is a construct, mathematical in the case of Physics, which utilizes laws in a manner that allows predictions. Einstein's Theory of Relativity is an example. It has been tested and observed to be the most accurate and precise tool we have to predict motion (on the macro scale), more so than Newton's famous equations. A hypothesis, on the other hand, is an educated guess based on observed evidence or phenomena, presented in such a manner that it can be tested repeatedly and proven to be incorrect. How did you arrive at this conclusion? What examples of "God's Word" do you have? The only things I'm aware of that could be considered "God's Word" are also considered scientific laws, such as the law of gravity. It's man's attempt at something, I'll grant that. I'm not so sure that something is "God's perfect Word," though. I was just recently reading about a couple of experiments that credibly offer doubt regarding the existence of free will. Probably none that you would like. Spiritual truth is the building material we construct our realities out of. If well use defective spiritual values we construct a dysfunctional reality and suffer the consequences here and now, if we use Divinely inspired Truth we construct a reality that is characterized by a Peace that surpasses understanding, contentment, freedom. My spiritual experiment ,has been the testing of personal faith and knowledge to produced a inner reality beyond my wildest dreams. I'll take that as a "No." evil is all thoughts and actions produced in a self deified state, out side the Will of God. So, if I define God as the universe, then there can be no evil, since that which is outside the "Will of God" is impossible. Without the ability to do evil, then I am assured to spend eternity with God. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

Unless there is more evidence, the belief is no more credible. Math tutoring available. Only $6! per hour! First lesson: Factorials!

All I have seen in your previous posts is that billions of other people believing in something for which there is no evidence somehow makes it more credible than a brand new idea for which there is no evidence. It's faulty logic. That's not to say that you shouldn't believe what you want, just that there is no reason atheists should need to justify their non-belief.
