Nauh, dis fuhnney. Befo you tellin us you'z 'n Atheis', 'n nauh you tellin' us you da Lowahd. Don' you b'lieve in yown self? Is you sum kinna Exstenchlis' o sumthin', o do you jis gotta self assteem probl'm? Hey Hey Hey, this sounds like Fat Albert. Nauh, hol' on dey, Route66 o' whutevuh yo av'tah iz. I LAHK me sum lumps in mah Cream-o-wheat. That reminds me of a long time ago (late 80's?) when I actually saw this very poster on the wall of a restaurant in the Owens Valley:

Decider has decided! Bush has made up his mind which is all the justification he needs for a new invasion. Meanwhile, Congress wrangles over how to pass a statement of opinion that Bush finds laughable. Congress is officially irrelevant. Love this simpleton quote from Boehner: Yup, no sooner will our troops have left than the Shiite and Sunni villagers will be storming the beaches of North Carolina in their Boston Whalers. Is this country really going be THIS STUPID AGAIN?!!?!?

Don't feel so bad kevbone. As long as Seahawk is here, you'll never be #1 on the justice priority list.

Seahawks knows all about climbing- he read about Mt. Hood on Fox News.

In equal terms, global warming is being opposed and ridiculed largely on the basis that the measures that might fix the problem- and if nothing else, are in my opinion measures that should be implemented simply for the common good of a cleaner and more responsible environment- are things that "will decrease profits" for businesses. In fact, if you listen to assholes like Rush, you'd think the entire economy would collapse if we made a concerted effort to maximize energy efficiency and decrease pollution. Funny how there's this juxtaposition of criticism of global warming on the basis of it being "pessimism" while their outlook on changing pollution and energy sources is exactly that: CAN'T, WON'T, IMPOSSIBLE. Can't be done. No one speaks of the economic opportunities that might evolve from alternative energy sources and from new technology, because no one wants the certainly of their immediate profits from destructive emissions to be disturbed. With "illegals": same. Why would they want to disrupt their source of dirt cheap labor? The truth is that these employers are screwing everyone from top to bottom with these tactics, but they don't care at all. Unbridled greed has become the hallmark, pervading trait of this culture and it has warped the American perception of what is really needed for a comfortable life.

Deconstructing the 10 Commandments for Posting with Seahawks and Kevbone: Well with these two, inanity is always certain. What now? Yes. Seahawks will cut and paste someone's 100000 word PhD essay proving God exists, and kevbone, sooner or later, will give us the Rhino picture. Simply responding to either of them ensures this reality. But if I told Seahawks I was God, maybe he would believe me. Well Minx is a moderator. True. That's called being Above the Law. I know all about that. Seahawks still thinks the world is flat, but somehow I don't think that will ever be accepted. And Kevbone's entire character is doomed to this fate. I guess we should ignore them, then? What about people who find common sense inconvenient? No problem there.

You forgot the part about: "The uber-rich neighbors up the street have decided to hire me and all my friends and family and forgive the little break in thing, and told me to invite more of us!" Oh and: "I didn't just do all the things you dont like to do...I did all the things you simply won't do!"

as usual, it's zero to zero More accurately: Nothing/Nothing.

Hey Seafag, do ya need some Immodium for the bullshits?

That part of the world, however, is not going to disappear either. Far better than perpetual war with, or subjugation of said culture would be a long term development of cooperative relations- which might- might- produce a transformation of that culture. As RedNose said, "better that we are talking at all". It's quite amazing how close we are simultaneously to having a war with Iran and yet how much potential exists for us to have normalized relations. Everything I've read indicates the population of Iran would like to see this happen.

Kind of like you are a “read disciple of Kung Fu…oh wait…Karate…oh sorry, I mean Ju Jitsu….wait I misspelled that. Maybe its Bruce Lee boxing…damn, I can’t remember what you are disciple of! Oh yeah it’s the guitar blues!!!! It's Aikido, dummy. And guitar. And I sing too. I have many talents. And I was sticking up for you. Well sort of. Anything to get at the Seafag.

Exactly the kind of condescending bullshit that turns people off from religion. The "you'll be sorry" know it all. "I don't care". A real disciple of Jesus you are. Kiss my ass you hypocrite. Your the same ass way. Your condescedning bullshits turns me off too. I think you have a bad case of the bull shits

So you present something that is scintillating yet enigmatic and very much open to interpretation, and then are outraged that she isn't an instant convert. Sounds like you have an agenda. A woman once showed me her bible on an airplane and told me "it's all in there", as if that settled it. She also went on to explain that the spruce bark beetle tree kills that have spread across much of British Columbia and Alaska were definitive proof that God is punishing environmentalists.

Do you keep that picture taped to the ceiling above your bed Seahawks?

Well you haven't come back yet, so I'd say there's no evidence so far.

Believe me, anyone who doesn't have his head in the sand knows that the Republican party has undergone a terrifying transformation. Christians don't vote for them because they like wire-tapping and indefinite imprisonment without indictment and unjust war and fiscal irresponsibility and the list goes on. They often hold certain deeply held values like sanctity of life, etc. above others and those are the issues they vote on. Rhetoric like yours about considering Christianity the most insidious enemy of America only scares people even more into voting for those who are generally pro-Christian, which recently has been the Rep. party. The entertaining part here is, here's Climbing Panther and Seahawks- two self described Christians. For every one of CP's thoughtful responses that attempt to debunk prejudicial notions of Christians, we're treated to another one of Seahawks' mindless, reactionary posts that help affirm the above mentioned notions being asserted by JosephH et.al.

Seriously?!?!? Do they also make ones like "Sorry about your retarded baby?" (Seahawks mom got one of those I'm sure).

Please God anyone but Hillary or another Bush.

DUDE- Tom Araya is the fuckin' SHIT. His voice preaches an anger and sincerity that is believable!!! You want the unintelligible zombie growling, I think Sepultura, for example. Not in the same leagus. ....Not that Tom Araya doesn't sound like a scary muhfuckah, of course...

On the subject of gyms- I can't stand the weirdo's who treat us all to a porn soundtrack while they lift weights, with EVERY exercise they do. Or people who get all animated on the stairmaster or the treadmill, lip synching their music and pumping their fists in the air. 8D

Interesting points. But the moral righteousness of bombing and deliberately causing collateral damage deaths on the premise of preventing even more future deaths relies on an assumption that the country choosing to bomb knows with certainty the long term outcomes of either choice (to bomb, or not to bomb). It may or may not be the lesser of two evils, yet it's the course always chosen with this rationale in mind. How do we know that some 12 year old Iraqi boy who otherwise would've become a doctor but whose entire family was blown up in front of him by one of our bombs accidently isn't now instead going to become the guy who drops a huge nuke on New York City in the year 2031? Well we don't, and that's an eccentric example, but the point is, these justifications for war have been recycled forever and we don't know what the wide ranging effects of war really have had- except that there's a cycle of violence within this supposed moral imperative of "no killing".

Take what most would probably say is one of the easiest to agree upon concept of right and wrong- that it's wrong to kill, for example. Yet every culture will justify some form of killing if it serves some "higher purpose" or for a "greater benefit", etc. etc. Hence 100,000 civilian casualties in a war can be dismissed as "justified" since the war is already justified as "necessary" and "that's just what happens in war". And the death penalty- some who murder get 20 years. Others get the chair. Here at least, it depends on how good a lawyer you have, what color you are (did I say that?), and what color the victim was (did I say that?). And how rich the victim was. So even the concept that killing is wrong is obviously not an absolute. If you think God implanted this concept in us, then apparently killing each other is part of God's plan, because he already knows everything we are going to do. Some followers of Islam seem to think God wants them to kill all non-believers for his glory, yet Islam also prescribes that killing is a capital offense. So even the right and wrong of killing seems muddy. Is anything really absolute?
