Interesting circular logic. I think that trying to link a scientific theory like evolution to secular humanism (whatever the heck that is) as a religious belief is pretty tenuous though. Evolution isn't something you believe in, its somethig that is... [Read More]
Probably for the same reasons that those that flee to a new country for religious freedom don't give it to other religious beliefs once they get there.... [Read More]
In 1956, an Act of Congress adopted "In God We Trust" as a national motto. The original motto, "E Pluribus Unum" ("out of many, [come] one,") celebrating plurality, still appears on the Presidential Seal and on some pape... [Read More]
I honestly don't believe America is truly ready for a female president, from either party. That would be a shame... practically every western country has now had a female leader at some point, as well as a lot of other "less developed" cou... [Read More]
It almost seems as if the democrats have moved to the right as well, almost occupying the ground the old moderate republicans used to hold... either that or they just won't make up their mind. this is odd because it is the opposite of the Uk. In th... [Read More]
A new study conducted by the Peter D. Hart Research Associates and released by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) shows that 35% of U.S. parents play videogames; of those, almost half (47%) are women. 80% of gaming parents say they play wit... [Read More]
Indeed. Her siding with looney right-wing wackos like Jack Thompson really blew her image in my eyes. Then the "plantation" remark... *shudders* Me too. We are so shallow. :( I suspect those numbers would change once the election stated,... [Read More]
But if you are giving aid to Hamas and they spend most of the money on hospitals or schools, and spend some of the money for dynamite that is then strapped to someone and used to blow up a bus or a cafe, is it still okay because most of the money wen... [Read More]
But if you are giving aid to Hamas, that they spend on hospitals or schools... are you supporting terrorism? Tricky question. Even the extermination of the jews comparisson is flakey.. they want the extermination of Israel (as a state) and even tha... [Read More]
Since Fatah have been storming government buildings with automatic weapons I'm not sure there is as big a difference between Hamas and Fatah/PLO as some people like to think. It should be remembered that pretty much all the major political factions i... [Read More]
I didn't say the problem WAS the US. Merely that it was a problem FOR the US. The EU gives much more in aid, and has many more contacts with Hamas than the US. By making blanket statements the US has effectlvely ruled itself out of any influence for... [Read More]
I'm not so sure. As an israeli general said: "you don't negotiate with your allies, you negotiate with your enemies". As long as the feeling that Hamas represents was widespread among the palestinian population it woudln't matter who was... [Read More]
Surely not that different to all the other fundraising for various causes that exists...? (and from my point of view a lot of freedom fighters DO deserve the name.. though a lot of them are misguided idiots as well) But the text on the website, and... [Read More]
So if most American feel like Bush then yes you have a quarrel with the American people. Maybe in the past when they were in the grip of fervent nationalism... but at the moment aren't his approval ratings in the toilet? So they'd probably be mostly... [Read More]
Who is really at fault the USA or the EU nations for turning a blind eye? The only problem is EU's right hand doesn't know what its left hand is doing. Er..., i'll go for option 3: the US and the nations that turned a blind eye. The EU isn't a nat... [Read More]
Gotta say i agee a bit with both sides here. Though i did like Templar's Machiavellian quote. It isn't the US's job to be nice and popular... but templar is right that it can help in some circumstances. However it isn't wrong for those of us outside... [Read More]
He never made any pretenses that he governed for the benefit of anyone but the corporate oligarchy Does bush? and he didn't (IIRC) make any major geopolitical ****ups. I don't know, his rabid anti-comunism probably caused the deaths of as many inno... [Read More]
Interesting article. Scentists have called for chimpanzees to be reclassified into the human genus after discovering that their DNA is actually closer to that of humans than that of other apes such as gorillas and orangutans. http://education.guardi... [Read More]

@groovy: You guys obviously haven't been doing you job right on 25-to-life though... that game got horrendous reviews, but its already sold a million. You guys have to try to save these guys from themselves and their wannabe-gangster impluses. :D Th... [Read More]
