I think the most likely cause of a WW3 in the next ten years would have to follow a pretty precise series of events. Iran and neighboring countries begin to form a Caliphate under some highly charismatic leader (whatever they call the messiah) which brings in other highly muslim countries like Egypt into a tight alliance. Turkey and some majority muslim south eastern europe countries answer the call of Jihad and usurp their governments and place theocratic ones in their stead and also ally. You

Rush Limbaugh. I listen to him all the time and I am convinced that he is really dangerous. He has so much spin coming out of his mouth I wonder if his head is going to explode from the centrifugal force. I really like it when the 3times divorced guy talks about the sanctity of marriage. A LOT of people believe the hype and spinsters like him IMHO willingly polute the minds of the public for political ends and know they are doing it.

No strong feeling for ES one way or the other but I do think actions need to have consequences and if he crossed the line, we should all understand that sometimes the bridge is burned and there is no going back. No one is perfect but we all pay the price for our imperfections and should learn from it and move on.

nope, now you have assumed. I did have in the original statment, " and those who would have no one else." I can even see myself asking some of the gay people I know to take care of my kids, which I also said should be alowed. My mistake. yes you can die from your own guns maybe we even have a better chance of dying from our own weapons then others but we should not lose the right to bare arm cause of it. I prefer those con

That settles it, we need to stop the volcanos!!!! Put a cap on those mfers!!!

Where do you think the people who join the military come from? Most of the military believe in gun ownership. You can throw out anything ya want... But your idea sounds like your afraid that kids will die and in life death happens... we should not "baby" prof life, that would mean no one really lives. You are right we should arm the kids. They will be better able to fight terrorism and an oppressive government that way. I am not against gun ownership btw

As a friend of mine says, "an armed society is a polite society". So I ll keep my right to bare arms thank you. Its not all about the militia it is also about being able to fight back even against the government. Its alot easier to take away rights from unarmed folk than armed ones. While I see your point and even agree with it somewhat you don't really think we could effectively fight our government with guns do you? The National Guard can easily supres

this is a general question to anyone reading: what is your opinion of jager? We have jager bombs here. Basically you drop a shot of jager in cheap beer and drink it, totally disgusting. IMO jager is best drank outdoors when it is extremely cold (both the jager and the weather). In the summer it is basically cough syrup but for some reason I think the cold air in your throat and on you makes it tastes great. I like to sit on the porch when it snows and gu

Before you organize a victory parade, though, you might want to consider that tacking on God to the beginning just pushes "X exists because X exists" back one iteration, and as I mentioned to Cobra, the advantage X=the universe has is that the universe can be observed to exist. God cannot be observed and is not necessary in modern cosmology, so He's out. If you care to argue otherwise, you can meet your own challenge and provide the proof--I guarantee you that you'll b

If gay people can't adopt then abortions need to be easier to get. People who don't want kids make terrible parents. People who can't take care of their children don't need to have them. I also agree with you dystopic about how marriage is a religious thing and the government needs to stay out of it. i'm not sure what your reasons for worrying about gay parents might be, and i'm not going to presume any one thing. since the issue has been raised, i'll instead dispel a

if enough ice melts, sea levels will rise and coastlines will recede. that's all there is to it (for the debate at hand, anyway). That is pretty much what I thought but I wasn't sure enough to totally discount the idea of some tectonic effect without really knowing more than I learned in 8th grade Some facts to cons

i have never even tried a cigarette even once in my life Of all the many stupid things I have done in my life smoking cigarettes is at the top of the list. It is harder to kick than masturbation and not nearly as much fun. I personally don't drink very often anymore myself either. Once every few months I feel like getting hammered and end up drinking till I feel like superman and having fun with the lady till we pass out <img src="http://images.stardock.

That said, it should be instantly obvious why God violates parsimony, but I'll spell it out anyway: an omnipotent, omniscient, intelligent force which exists simultaneously within and outside the universe, whose existence cannot be accounted for by a single piece of evidence anywhere in any science, is obviously a new term, and an unnecessary one, because cosmology, physics, chemistry, and biology together can explain the origin of the universe, life on Earth, and

this was in regards to Post #354 earthfaze. None of the above shows Bush to be a TRAITOR. You can call him a moron if you will but "traitor" should not be used lightly... on either side of the aisle Agreed. I am not sure exactly what enemy Bush supplied weapons to and was actually just replying to what I quoted. I would say however that many presidents and even leaders of foreign governments are notorious for supplying weapons to the lesser of two evils

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas. Solar variation will cause an increase in the greenhouse effect. It will cause the heat feedback to increase. More heat causes more water vapor. A 3% increase in CO2 could cause a 10% increase in water vapor and those numbers are not fact but estimation based on SOME researchers. There are also other gases that mankind has put into the atmosphere as well. Not saying you guys aren't right I am just saying its not as irrelevant as the numbers might make it seem. <d

Try doing a search. 1, President bush is the greatest diplomatic genius that ever spread peace on this earth. 2, Bush is a total moron and nothing said about him is beyond belief I go with 2 Marcus PS anyone who even listens to Bush is a complete fool and should be sent to Iraq and made to walk around with a "I love Dubya" mortar board. Just to prove, once and for all, that

I want to turn into an energy being like the David Bowman in 2010: Odyssey Two by Arthur C Clarke. Then I could do all the things everyone has listed so far.

Yeah seems political BS is pretty much the problem with everything.

In my city, the largest in city in my state, along the Mason Dixon line, we have an overcrowding of our homeless shelter. They are not drug, addicts or alchoholic bums they are mostly single women with children and these shelters are so crowded and underfunded they are having to turn them away. Most of them did nothing wrong unless perhaps you see having a man leave them and their children as their fault. Some have college degrees or are trying to obtain one but because of their children they ha

I don't listen to Bush it makes my brain shrink, but I do like to listen to the conservative (they wouldn't know real conservatism if it bit them in the ass) right wing news shows, I like to try to understand the way my enemies think. There are so many misconceptions today in Us politics its sickening. Liberalism vrs Conservatism? Why can't I want a smaller government that makes less changes and still want everyone to be able to do what they like? How come if I am against discrimination of gays

The initiatives, propelled by the theory of global warming, to lower emmissions and generally clean up the planet, you mean instead of burning fuel in your car but at some factory in someone elses town that would be electrical or burning alcohol made of corn or whatever so now the emitions are corn instead of oil Emission restriction is also

More volcanic action in dino ages. Combustion creates CO. The problem is not that we are damaging the climate since like you point out the dinos lived in it when it had more CO the problem is changing the climate to the point where it damages us. There is also the danger of losing mass amounts of coast line. The dinos lived on pangea(sp?) one giant continent, personally I am far enough inland I am not worried about massive floods or increase in tropic storms but the change of weather patterns an

I get bored a lot and like to read news sites but most of the ones I can find are extremely biased or just skim the surface of an issue and really don't tell me as much as I would like. Lately I have been reading BBC News online, anyone have any suggestions?

This is the source of modern religious conflict. Essentially, in the eyes of the religions, there is only one "correct religion" and thier respective religion is the "correct religion" and the other relgions must be converted. This source of modern day conflict is based on "what is truth?", wealth, and pride. So this doesn't leave those who replace religion (church,God,etc.) with

Strongbow is an interesting beer. Sort of a light sweet ale thing going with it. Crown Royal is good for whiskey but if you ever find yourself wanting something from Kentucky, Bullett Bourbon is cheaper and very similar to crown and Eagle Rare is a whole other class of whiskey, very smoky and not cheap at all, Knob Creek is good too and Woodford Reserve is decent if you like something lighter. For Vodka I like Grey Goose and cranberry juice. Seagrams 7 and 7up or sprite is another mixer I like s
