That's a different topic. I am merely assuming that if the Bible is God's sole word, the Bible instructs people not to guess at God's purposes - it warns all that anybody stating God's purposes has no idea what he or she is talking about, and absolutely cannot know these things. you are attempting to apply logical reasoning to a collection bronze age mythos?? slow week for futile arguments? a. "this is God's word". b. really? you wrote it. a. shut up heathen dont question the word of God.. b. but you wrote it.. i just saw you... and you are clearly not God, a. God dictated to me his true prophet b. is plagiarism a prerequisite for calling yourself a Prophet?...." Man telling Man not to question God (as delivered by Man) starts with a flawed premise. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Humanity errors whenever it claims to know the mind of Divinity... these claims do NOT exclude the Bible, no matter how often Xtians claim it as "God's Sole word" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Actually Jesus IS a myth... (look it up, it is a fact. As are ALL OTHER RELIGIOUS ICONS/FIGURES) However there IS power in Myth, and power in Belief, but that power comes from YOU and the place those Myths and Beliefs have in your life… YOU changed your life, not God, not Jesus and certainly not the bible or your church. just like the football player who gives God credit for his team's victory, or the wife who thanks God for her soldier husband's safe return from combat. It isn’t God, it isn’t your prayers, your tithes or your church that had ANY EFFECT at all… THE PEOPLE made the difference, made the decisions, had the training, the will, and perseverance to create the eventual outcome... God simply created the playing field. YOU are responsible for your conduct and the outcome YOU create. As to the rest of your post is simply spiritually immature grandstanding. I was born ready, as were you and every other human who has EVER existed… ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

The Bible isn't just one book. It's 66 different ones which validate each other. particularly with a belief and and agenda to promote that belief. there IS NO conspiracy theory, there was OUTRIGHT INTENT to align "the text" (and therefore (re)create the modern "Word of God" with WHAT THEY BELIEVED. imagine if you will, a group of men, (a very small number really, all perfectly committed, most of their lives and livelihood in the pursuit, protheltizing their growing religion, all perfectly willing to die for their belief) were to collect every available religious writing (because btw they represent a significant portion of the living literate people as well) and cull them for 'clarity'. Are you willing to accept that result as an 'unbiased' text? let us next imagine these men were NOT Christians.... please. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

just as yours was only a carpenter... get over it... I'm sorry, does my belief that Jesus is the son of God offend you? I won't get over it.

older. Innana. Including the self sacrifice of a God(dess) to redeem a mortal. Dumzi her lover. but spiritual plagiarism is VERY common through out the history of human religious belief. ime here, elsewhere on the internet and in RL, most born again Christians can rarely be bothered to read a single (their own) text very thoroughly, much less make any attempt to study Humanities sum total Divine Expression. much of which has been intentionally destroyed by.... drum roll please.... the Christians! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

The Bible isn't just one book. It's 66 different ones which validate each other. only because the Editors arranged them to do so... and they were HARDLY objective in doing so... there were once 'books' just as valid as those you are familiar with that were completely removed and DESTROYED.. so there would be no conflicting accounts... using the Bible as 'proof' for its own claims is just as invalid as using Mein Kamf to justify the Nazi position... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

basically the point of an airborne drop is to get 80% of the soldiers who exit aircraft, on the ground capable of combat operations... don't be in the 20% ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

First, I'd say the ass shots and c*ck shots are about 1% of the amount of body shots that are posted, the rest being boobie shots. But, that's not the creepy part. The creepy part is that you've named different types of cleavage. You take obsession to a whole new level. andrea thousands of years worth of poerty has been devoted to exactly that...... in fact i cant think of any other reason to contemplate poetry than certain curves..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

you are missing the point and blaming both Substance and Sexuality in place of the individual being held accountable for their Actions.. let me fix it for you.. What YOU do with Your sex life affects people! What YOU do while on The drugs you do affects people! you should be held accountable for your actions as they DIRECTLY affect other people. However anything you do in the privacy of your own domain (or on publicly held' land) with other consenting individuals affects NO ONE but the participating, consenting individuals and the government should not be involved for any reason. its less PC, but simply, a "libertarian view" is leave me the fuck alone, and leave everyone else the fuck alone unless they directly interfere with another's freedom (liberty). So yes, "anyone and everyone" SHOULD be able to do "WHAT EVER THEY WANT" as long as it doesn't interfere with that same fundamental right in others.` Life is never more important than liberty.. Life without Liberty is merely awaiting death. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

actually the changes were made due to the general lack of material (in a good economy fewer of the ‘best and brightest’ are willing to enlist) and the evolution of process and production based techniques to minimize the loss of raw recruits due to poorly thought out, badly implemented 'legacy' (“we’ve always done it that way….”) training methods with little bearing on modern combat or the roles the recruits will be required to perform. The application of ‘result based process” to military training has revolutionized what a recruit can learn before he joins the active force, and the skill set to create an effective soldier (and therefore effective units/combat systems) is significantly more complex than it was as little as 10 years ago. In manufacturing, you find a defect in your base material you throw it away and get another. That is NOT AN OPTION in the development of a competent fighting force, as you can’t simply 'get another' recruit. Every failure is one less soldier available to fight and wasted resources in the training process. You CAN take that recruit and apply modern, more efficient, task specific training to produce a soldier who IS able to fill a required military role (if not the original one he signed up/was enlisted for) that 'frees up' a 'more suitable' recruit to do the task the first one performed poorly on.. These changes are about not wasting what is in reality “irreplaceable material”, i.e those willing to devote some portion of their lives to military service (the foundation of an all volunteer force) and yes to a certain extent that means treating them more 'gently'. However ‘more gently” does not mean the end result is a less effective soldier. For the most part the beatings, degradation and derision commonly used by previous decade’s trainers did little to nothing to create a better soldier; it simply contributed to a larger number of drop outs AFTER the military had already invested a significant amount of time and effort on them. if the Canadian military is making changes for purely cosmetic/social reasons (that are not supported by good production process with the practical application towards training the specific skills your military requires) their system is more screwed than I’d ever expected.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Do you intend to elaborate or are you just interested in being a sarcastic troll. I have never felt the need to insult anyone on this sight for their views so I do not understand why people like you do. Do not bother responding to this unless you are prepared to grow up and post like an adult. Richards your post clearly shows you have no clue how the training plans, courses and materials ARE developed, and no i'm not going to bother to educate you. Get a job working for/with TRADOC for a few years before you make such absurd statements. But perhaps illustrating your ignorance on the subject IS your intent? edit one example: if i spin around i can see the combined military experience of some 800 years all working on updateding A SINGLE MOS's training.. guess what? not a single social worker involved anywhere... but ALOT of retired/former CSMs, Warrants and Field grade officers... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

Gen. Grant had lots of critics in the Civil War. Did President Lincoln "not get it"? Likewise, with Generals such as Halsey, Lemay, Montgomery, Patton and MacArthur. But they all won battles and wars. Just because you can find someone that criticizes them, doesn't mean that their methods won't work to win the war. non sequitor.. those were GENERALS (Subject Matter Experts in their fields) Fighting a War, NOT a Civilian (and one without real experience or expertise) telling the Generals how to do their job, over their objections, experience and expertise..... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

where are you getting this shit? stick to the facts dude...no one is claiming anything. rather, i believe it appears like they are trying to teach theory and the ideas behind it. BS, they may be backing away from it now due to the rash of criticism, but they have certainly used the term 'invented' multiple times in relation to this 'type' of flight, both in print and internet articles... and as should be apparent they could also use some brush up on aerodynamics in general based on some of the claims in their 'theory' ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

dont worry Quade, its not like Parachutist has been a 'fact based' publication for a while.. that article fits perfectly in the fluff catagory articles commonly published by Parachutist... long on verbage and (semi) pretty pictures but very lacking in factual data... maybe they will claim to have invented a 'new aerodynamic definitions' next to support some of the ridiculous assertions made thus far.... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

however planning, practical data safety/backup procedures and precautions prevent the need for some types of hind sight... leaving the laptop for a juke box was an act of kindness and friendship, applying "well i should have taken it when i left" isnt very relevant as a lesson learned as many people will always/still leave items 'at risk' for friend's enjoyment.. However backing up ALL irreplaceable data' regularly is simply good sense precaution no matter what the circumstance that cause the inital loss... with good backup practices such losses are limited to hardware only... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

as opposed to dying at 28 in a car wreck? you cant control the moment, but your actions can affect the manner... everyone dies.. would you rather have spent the last moments of your life doing something you truly enjoyed or simply commuting to work?? its not how much time you have that counts.. its what you DO with the time you have... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

I don't think anyone is criticizing the soldiers in theater. We sure as hell question the motives, competence and honesty of the Commander in Chief and the Secretary of Defense. no one questions the strength of the sword, its the (lack of) wisdom in the hand that wields it (badly) as a hammer and for a political motivated war and NOT one that was created by military necessity. the greeting of the day for this CINC and his incompetent staff should be "to the rank" ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
