Unfortunately, I don't see Pelosi handling this with the necessary agility. About darn time Gonzalez resigned. Luckily Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not have much to do with this issue. Senator Robert C Byrd of West Virginia (President Pro Tempore), S...  [Read More]

And yes, the those attorneys can be and have been fired by the president at any time for any reason. The question is whether or not Bush helmed a conspiracy behind these particular firings. Think of it like discrimination law: in right-to-work states...  [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. I really don’t see anything illegal with firing the judges. Every Pres...  [Read More]

Aren't The Flood aliens? I took the Flood to be more of a virus or parasites that took over control of both Covenant and Human Forces. Unsure if that is correct as it has been years since I played Halo. I pretty much agree with your opinion of Halo...  [Read More]

I'll get Halo 3 more to close out the franchise than anything else. I loved the first one, but the second did not appeal to me. I don’t know if my taste have charge or why, but it just didn’t hold my attention like the first one. It was a great g...  [Read More]

Don’t get me wrong Nancy I like your idea, but from a purely psychological point of view I don’t know what the ramifications would be from putting an arsonist around fire. Might be like putting the inmates in charge of the asylum. Arsonist doin...  [Read More]

Any word or phrase that reinforces disparaging stereotypes is offensive to me as a human being. Use of such words is a poor habit to get into and should be self-censored from each of our vocabulary. I’m not for all this political correctness, but w...  [Read More]

If the game was based on the movies I would probably tend to agree. However it's not. 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 playi...  [Read More]

Of course, a Giuliani-Paul ticket would be rather interesting, and it would work out nicely if the republicans could capitalize on Dr Paul's internet-based support. What is the fascination with Ron Paul? He is a very nice man, but some of his strong...  [Read More]

Not that it matters anyway. To be fair, I'm sure that once people know about the other candinates, and the negative campagins kick in, the Democratic candinates will find support harder to sustain. The campagin isn't over until the Supreme Court sing...  [Read More]

Reading this thread I have to agree with most of Achilles arguments. Science does indeed deal with the unknown better than any religious institution I know of. Science openly seeks the unknown, while religious institutions do not. Some if not most re...  [Read More]

To clarify: The argument dealt with religion (as an institution) and science (as an institution). Your counter-argument appears to be focused on individuals, therefore it does not apply in this context. If I’d define religion as an institution Iâ€...  [Read More]
