Spring. It means the sucky snow is (mostly) over, it's starting to warm up, flowers begin to bloom, trees leaf out, lilac-scent fills the air, and the robins and hummingbirds return....  [Read More]

Well, Sotomayor's comments about a Latina making better decisions than a white male was said in a speech to a Latino group. That's a bit disturbing to me in that it displays a possible bias against whites, males, or just white males, but it was said...  [Read More]

When she has stated that she believes she will make better decisions because of her skin color and sex, I think it's fairly important. Oh, it may be important to her, and it may be important to some, but I think there are bigger issues at stake than...  [Read More]

Supreme Court Justice Souter is retiring. Obama discusses his decision of Sotomayor as his nominee here. (http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/introducing-sotomayor) I know there was pressure to nominate a woman, a Hispanic, and assorted other var...  [Read More]

Your version sounds a little servile. The 14-century translation of Greek scripture goes like this, And when ye were dead in your guilts and sins, 2 in which ye wandered sometime after the course of this world, after the prince of the power of this...  [Read More]

I think good works should be an outward expression of gratitude for the sacrifice Christ made for us and to serve as an example of Christ's love to others, not because they win us a spot in heaven. Paul said in Eph 2:8,9 "for by grace you have...  [Read More]

I'm not interested in seeing this turn into a theism/atheism debate. I've set some ground rules for this thread for clarity's sake. Edit--per GTA's desire: I wanted to have it be a respectable thread that would not devolve into theism vs anti theis...  [Read More]

This thread will specifically EXCLUDE the atheism/theism debate, because there are already a number of threads on this. This thread will work on the presumptions that a. God exists b. Christ as a central figure of the religion exists/existed and is...  [Read More]

I like GW's and LOTRO's death penalty--GW you have a temporary reduction in hit points and energy pool until you 'work it off' by killing more stuff. In LOTRO you have a temporary decrease in morale (hit points) for about 10 minutes. No stuff gets br...  [Read More]

I say you should loose experience, all your health, and all your items except for equipment (as your clothes, lightsaber, armor, other weapons, implants, mask, belt, etc..). Essentially if you have money and a quest item it gets looted. I'd never pla...  [Read More]

For some two hundred years, under the influence of Sabretooth, the dominant trend of philosophy has been directed to a single goal: the destruction of man's mind, of his confidence in the power of reason... Today's mawkish concern with and compassio...  [Read More]

Then again, this is Star Wars. Its cliche ridden, and made some of those film cliches popular by itself. Can't expect much more or less. It took most of those cliche's from epic stories. Agree on both counts to these comments. I'm sure it'll have s...  [Read More]

You bought your car and your house with cash? Damn, I wish I had your kind of income. We bought our house with a VA loan--that's the only loan we have now. Our car was paid off about a year ago. Our van we bought used with the money we had. It meant...  [Read More]

We have no more credit cards either. We have a savings account set aside for the money I make at one of my jobs--mostly for taxes, but it serves as an emergency fund as well (like when we had to buy a new vehicle last summer when an uninsured driver...  [Read More]

Well, it's not the SP RPG I was hoping for, but as long as they keep the best aspects of the Kotor series and don't take on the worst aspects of any of the MMOs out there now, I think it has a good chance of being a lot of fun to play. That's what I'...  [Read More]

after having played through Vampire: Bloodlines, I'd say that one has some of the best music in it. Genitorturers song that wouldn't pass the PG 13 rating... as if any of their songs do haha... Heh--I have that one on my iPod, believe it or not, but...  [Read More]
