So depending on how the Democrats handle this, I actually believe this could end up being a plus to the Republican Presidential hopefuls. You might be on to something here. The first primaries are only 6 months away and Giuliani and Clinton are nearl...  [Read More]

I don't doubt it. But, if I'm not mistaken, if they find anything on Bush by then they won't have to impeach him to bring him to trial for any illegal activities they discover. Right, assuming that Bush's goal is to avoid impeachment. Also, I'm not s...  [Read More]

The question I have is: who will want the job for the next 15 months? President Bush doesn't seem like he ever caves in to pressure to force any of his staffers to resign. I guess Gonzales really decided he had had enough. Washington politics are...  [Read More]

@Achilles: 'Take back'? I wasn't aware any group could 'own' words... All the cool kids are "taking back" something nowadays. Apparently it's the trendy thing to do. Wikipedia has a nice article on "Reappropriation" however I can...  [Read More]

I find it interesting that we use demographics as derogatory terms and then wonder why people are offended. If "gay" accurately described a thing or an event (like Patton Oswalt's take on cirque du soleil), then that one thing. To say that...  [Read More]

Do you know for a fact that it is based on the books and not the movies? I kind of got that from the clip, but I was not 100% sure. If so I will definitely be playing this, I enjoyed the movies, but I love the books. The impression that I got from th...  [Read More]

Yes, but during the films the character is portrayed by Matt Damon, therefore theoretically the game character should look like Matt Damon, unless it isn't actually set during this time, which I took it for. If the game was based on the movies I woul...  [Read More]

This is where I see the flaw. In post 11 and 15 you said we are dealing in this tread with the institutions and not individuals. So who decided that Religious Institutions want to be considered scientific? That is what I took away from Jae Onasi and...  [Read More]

Gee, I can't imagine why some people might find it offensive to suggest that the United States Government orchestrated 9/11 for some mysterious reason. That's similar to not offending a German by saying that they've still got the Gas Chambers running...  [Read More]

One think that I find interesting about the whole 9/11 conspiracy debate is the amount of vehemence that I tend to see coming from the anti-conspiracy/conspiracy debunker camp. Maybe it's because I wasn't around for the JFK conspiracy hey-day and it...  [Read More]

Science is fallible and prone to error Correct, which is why scientists are skeptical by nature and demand the highest levels of evidence before something is commonly accepted. Compare this to religion, which claims to have unfettered access to absol...  [Read More]
