So why can't they figure out how we work? Or do they know how and just feign confusion?

I notice your idea of 'men communicating more' involves 'listening' and 'asking questions that elicit more talking from females and thus more listening from men'. Your communication seems pretty one-sided.

A 'nukular bomb' is an atomic weapon provided by The George W Bush Center for Diplomacy. It didn't evolve, it was immaculately conceived in Donald Rumsfeld's uterus, which, in itself, was a miracle and clear proof of the Almighty's support for the GWOT. Either that or The Donald's a cross-dressing woman.

Isn't that why you bought it?

ok, maybe not *very* few. but certainly not *a lot*. but we are hardly all a big judeo-christian brotherhood. if I'm not mistaken, is CS Lewis *not* an anthropologist? or do you think he's seeing similarities where he wants them to be (being he's a christian and all)? just a question.....

So we made them up?? If we came from animals they don't have these. How did we get them? We makes up lots of things like art and mathematics and machinery and we didn't get any of those from the animals either. It's called creativity and intelligence. You might have heard of them.

absolutely. any good anthropologist will tell you that there are very few shared concepts of what is right and wrong between different cultures. what makes you think all of our ethics post-date the Bible? what makes you think all of our ethics have anything to do with religion whatsoever and not with simple social parsimony?

Define 'excessive'... I like how he singles out hallucinogenic drugs and not things like alcohol, which is, of course, 'socially acceptable'..... And, of course, alcohol never makes you think or believe things that aren't true or real....

That's not as cool as the revolving restaurant they wanted to build on the top of El Cap. Except for the fact they actually seem to be building this one.... One question: The bridge might be able to take a hit from nukular bomb, but what about the rock around it? That's just sandstone....

Well if your refering to evolution neither side can be proved so no point in saying one way is right or wrong. Just wanted to see what your answer was on right or wrong. Is there such a thing? 'Right' and 'wrong' are socio-cultural constructs, correct?, and thus dependent upon the time and the place in which you find yourself. This makes all ethics situational and therefore all ethical constructs are valid at one time or another. Since my theory is as equally valid as yours and can't be disproven, your choice of who is right and who is wrong is only your opinion.

No, what I'm saying is that you play fast and loose with the idea of a theory and right or wrong answers when it suits you.

He has his theory of ethics. You have yours. What's wrong with that? They're both theories, right? In your view, all theories are equally valid. Ergo, there should be no prisons either.

Must...resist....tasteless....virginity....joke......argh!

I can say with absolute certainty that that is extremely unlikely. Yeah, not too many people think they are the love child of a mermaid and an alien space-faring pirate

Notice the correlation there? No Bible-thumping => I'm happy Most people realize religion is a private matter and keep it to themselves. Likewise, I'm perfectly happy to keep my atheism/agnosticism to myself. You start proselytizing my ass, though, or telling me I'm going to burn in Hell for giving you a bad belay, I'm pulling out my Simon Yates edition pocket knife.

Are you saying that children might lie to their parents ?!?! Holy crap!

Thats what I said.....I WANT them to be a choice, which they are not. This is wrong. Why don't you take them to the hospital then and let them talk to people who are in serious pain and suffering because they also didn't get vaccinated and then take them to the doctor and let them have a serious talk with him/her replete with graphic photographs and let your kids make the choice about what to do with their bodies? Or do you think they'll make the 'wrong' choice?

You were supposed to have a Fairweather-esque hissy fit and panty bunching. We have our standards, you know.

It's funny how people get all worked up about sexually transmitted anything in this country but don't bat and eyelash over billions of dollars going to agribusiness or the military industrial complex or developers. Unlike the aforementioned, however, Texas appears to let you opt out. Learn to read.

without looking it up: a)how many teaspoons in a gallon? b)how many milliliters in a liter? if you answered both correctly, how long did it take you to figure out (a) vs. (b) if you still like english/imperial units, as yourself why you think it's easier, faster, and less error-prone to memorize tables of values than it is to know how to multiply and divide by 10.

because it's one of those things we're really really exceptionally good at...

Don't both of those companies tithe to the Church of Satan? I read it on teh intertubes. It must be true. Verily, thou shalt burn in Hell for drinking from their poisoned cups.

Of course he's laughing his ass off. We're a bunch of monkeys in suits who somehow have convinced themselves that they hold an important, pivotal role in the universe. "If one could conclude as to the nature of the Creator from a study of creation, it would appear that God has an inordinate fondness for stars and beetles." -- J.B.S Haldane

i think he just wants to eat the jello....

but 'maser of ceremonies' sounds like a lot more fun, doesn't it? who wouldn't want that job? "Your voices are making me sick. Get off the stage." [maser][/maser] "Next!"
