I agree that her disappearance is no more tragic than any other, but I'm not sure how cleanly that translates into "I couldn't care less". At least for me anyway. ...and that's exactly what they are being accused of. :( I agree completely...  [Read More]

As you may have gathered from some of my less than flattering comments towards the Electoral College that I am against it and believe it should be abolished. I remember before the 2000 election the media reporting that the Republicans already had a t...  [Read More]

Thanks for the correction. To be honest, I haven't been following his campaign that closely, so I really wasn't sure. Actually I wasn’t correcting you because I believe (even if by complete accident) you have a valid point. After all Ron Paul ran a...  [Read More]

he's not running for the republican nomination, is he? Right now Mr. Paul is running as a Republican, but I believe your assumption is correct and he may throw his hat in the ring as an independent. Don’t know how much he would take away from the...  [Read More]

It doesn't really matter what species it is taken up on. The frankenbunnies have all of the human DNA, the only "bunny" part of the Frankenbunny is the cytoplasm. So, everything is mostly fine. Well since the frankenbunnies have all the hu...  [Read More]

Why…oh why the humanity. Haven’t they learned anything from Hollywood? Can’t they remember seeing Marlon Brando and Val Kilmer in the 1996 version of “The Island of Dr. Moreau” or the 1977 version with Burt Lancaster and Michael York? H.G....  [Read More]

While I often agree that religion is as you put it, a "crutch" on which people rely, much like a drug, I don't think that this is really accurate. As you continue to say, extenuating circumstances, such as life+death experiances, can make p...  [Read More]

FWIW, I'm probably at least 50% kinda sure (but not really) that SoldierInGodsArmy is a comedian. I was fairly sure that was the case, but for a comedian to be truly considered funny there should be a grain of truth in their dialog, just exaggerated...  [Read More]
