    anyone have any interesting info, thoughts, comments about the man?
  2. Actually, CBS, there is a First Law of something-or-other that says that matter can neither be created or destroyed. This basically says that you can't create something from nothing. Energy doesn't come from nowhere, it is made by burning coal, or oil, or the sun's radiation, etc. Any science geek's have the actual name of what I am thinking of? I want to say First Law of Thermodynamics, but I don't think that's right. Check this out on the First Law of Thermo: geek info. Roark roark that's the first useful thing you've said in this thread. good job. I told you to shut up a few pages back. I thought it was useful, but it didn't take. Roark yeah and you're someone i really listen too

  4. ohmyfuckingdog! i can't believe you guys are still going at this. nothing new has been said about evolution or creationism in at least the last 40 posts! and i just read the whole damn thing!
  5. now this is quality "spray"
  6. it is difficult to prove a negative. it is also difficult to have a discussion with someone whose "pro" argument reverts to "because the bible says so"
  7. hey doing my part to make sure that someday we can have imax pron and we can all say erectile dysfunction w/o blushing.
  8. hey i already admitted that i'm in a really really PISSY mood today. was it just me or was the sound quality unbelievably bad for the game. not that i imagine i was missing anything but the announcers were nearly inaudible.
  9. i said "THERES" millions not THREE million. i apologize for forgetting the apostrophe. i'm pissy today and breasts just don't seem worthy of getting our knickers in a knot over. maybe i need some of that imax pron that BV mentioned.
  10. FERDOGSAKE PEOPLE - IT'S A BREAST! THERES MILLIONS OF THEM IN THIS STATE ALONE! GET OVER IT
  11. i think comparing and contrasting ideas is an outstanding way to teach children. unfortunately, it seems to be the idea of many people that you can't present different ideas ie. evolution and creationism in the same classroom. it seems that they want to present one or the other. i am opposed to teaching creationism in the classroom b/c i believe it crosses the religion in schools line. h/e i'm not opposed to comaring and contrasting different concepts (darwin v. lamarck) this can easily be done w/o dragging in "god" by presenting the idea and the evidence that supports it. comparing and contrasting is a great way to teach people to think critically. ideas like the string theory have a place in the classroom b/c they are based on underlying fundamentals. the string theory wasn't pulled out of thin air. it was based on physics and mathematics. it is one possible explanation drawn from things already in evidence. it has some LOGICAL FOUNDATION and there is potential that enough data can be garnered to move it from theory to fact.
  12. [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.
  13. 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
  14. 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.
  15. "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?
  16. 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.
  17. no please! dear dog make it stop!!!!

    Married vs. Single

    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!
  20. 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
  21. you're all just a bunch of obstreperous brats. quit spraying and go climb something!
  22. 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.
  23. 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.
  24. i should ban you for that!
  25. 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
