[quote In general, just because you don't believe in something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. true enough. but usually there is a way to gain some evidence that it does exist. i don't believe in monsters under my bed and i'm sure they don't exist. hell falls into the same category-interesting fable, scares kids but has no basis in fact. then again, i'm posting on cc.com, wasting my time having this argument so maybe purgatory does exist.

Nevermind, God told me you are going to Hell anyway, so don't bother telling her anything. yeah whatever. i'd have to believe in hell to be worried. have a nice day

i loved the books as a child but i am completely unable to become enthralled with the movies. i'm reading them with my son these days and i'm enjoying the tale as much this time as i did way back. but i am so sick to death of all the raving about these movies. they're nice but that's about it.

"I insist on nothing from anyone but myself. Creationism can be proven if you look for the evidence. " how? what evidence? haven't people been trying to prove the existence of "God" for a long long long time?

Way to go on the comprehensive poll, fucko. Evolution is a theory, and has been billed as such since I was a lad. I see validity in presenting BOTH creation and evolution theory - let the student decide what he believes. teaching creationism in schools is tantamount to teaching religion in schools. it should be presented at home and the student can make up his/her mind there. there is solid evidence for evolution. it is more than a theory. specific evolutionary changes in specific species may be theoretical but the concept is not. It is still a theory, as in, "the theory of evolution." Creationism is another view of how the world came to be. Why are you people afraid of an alternate view? Does it shake the weak foundations of your pathetic pseudo-beliefs? pseudo beliefs?? creationism requires faith in something that cannot be proven. that would strike me more as a pseudo belief than believing in evolution. evolution has plenty of scietific support for it. who decides when it moves from theory to proven fact??? have i missed the annual "this is still just a theory list"? why are you so insecure in the realm of the real word that you need to insist that everyone have "faith"? creationism requires faith in some supreme power. it can not be proven and thus i do not find it believable.

no please! dear dog make it stop!!!!

i am completely appalled that we are running this country at a deficit, cutting valuable social programs and the one place that Shrub wants to add spending (besides military) is to promote marriage! i think it's outrageous. it's not as though we don't know what marriage is. it's not as though there aren't already a few perks to getting married. Our schools are struggling but lets run and advertising campaign to promote an "institution" that's been around for thousands of years?!?! frankly, i consider an antiquated, unnecessary insitution myself. if it makes you feel good to get married by all means do it. marriage does not ensure that people stay married or that children will have a 2 parent household. There are so many thing that i think are more important to spend billion on than this. this idea of Shrub's to promote marriage makes my blood boil!

i think i am the only person in america who is not intrigued by these movies. i will be thankful when the academy awards are over and the hype surrounding this trilogy can fade into the sunset where it belongs

you're all just a bunch of obstreperous brats. quit spraying and go climb something!

all i know is that i never wore a helmet to ride my bike, ski,climbing or anything else that matters. that may explain a lot but i'm still alive.

i should ban you for that! If you did that would go a long way towards proving Lord_Bosco's point. apparently L_B (who reminds me a tad of DFA) has forgotten that i moderate SPRAY and thus am not limited by the conventions class and good taste.

i should ban you for that!

glad they found your car and stuff. those boots are HOT so understandably the theif kept those and nothing else *sigh* you'll be punished appropriately for losing those. -Mistress Minx

i saw this movie yesterday and read the book quite sometime ago. ultimately it seems hard to judge whether it was right or wrong. fact is no matter what solutions might have been possible, they were both exhausted and dehydrated thus probably not thinking as clearly as they might in other circumstances. i think looking at in terms of right and wrong might be a bit too rigid. i'm sure we'd all like to think we could've found a different solution but most of us probably wouldn't. regardless of simon's failures after that climb, his lack of knowledge/ability to pass that knot; i don't think he was wrong for cutting the rope. the one thing i did wonder about after reading the book: was simpson's staunch defense of simon's actions in someway related to the enormous emotions he felt for simon when the latter finally found him outside of camp?

hmmmm....you clearly never met my mom!!!

it's easy for him to be nothing

hroark is nothing if not easy

i think we might be

i'm pretty sure he still uses fabric softener when he skips climbing to do laundry.

i'm pretty sure hroark wears a couple of girly earrings

interesting. but has it happened where the party as whole selected someone else, not that the candidate didn't run again.

has there ever been a case when the incumbent has not been his party's nominee to run for president? in theory, couldn't the republican party select someone other than Shrub to be their candidate for 2004?

this morning - nine inch nails yesterday - john prine, rhcp no accounting for taste eh?
