You know what would be awesome? If Master Cheif leave the Terrans because the Covenant and the Human race allied together? Why? Well, what is the Covenant other than an allaince of races working together? If the humans ally with the Covneant, the Hu...  [Read More]

Seriously, though, Russia attacking Poland doesn't make any sense to me. As SilentScope said, Poland is in the European Union and if Russia attacked her, the EU would come out in full force to defend Poland. And, also, why would Iran threaten Russi...  [Read More]

I just think this is yet again a typical editorial view on Russia. It came from Time Maganize, so it is reputable. But all maganizes can be biased, true. They did quote the Russian generals in stating that indeed Russia is considering such a thing,...  [Read More]

Place this in the werid news section, but it is true. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1591504,00.html MOSCOW — Poland and the Czech Republic risk being targeted by Russian missiles if they agree to host a proposed U.S. missile defen...  [Read More]

Work isn't always the issue - cost is one as well. If you have two workers that are about as efficient as each other but one is willing to work for less dollars an hour, you'd obviously hire the cheaper one. Of course, that's the materialistic rathe...  [Read More]

The Rich aren't being oppressed if they're taxed just as much as everybody else. America has a progressive tax system (the more money you make, the more % of your money get taxed). The rich pay much more tax proportionally than a poor person. I admi...  [Read More]

1. Stop companies from hiring illegal immigrants. Note: I said ILLEGAL. But why are they declared illegal? Simple, because the quotas for having legal Mexicans here are too low. Since one cannot legally immigrate into Mexico until they fill out tons...  [Read More]

Oh, BTW, as long as you can promise to use fact and not simply endless 'assumption', I'd be glad to continue our debate where ever we meet. In fact I will be finishing my rebuttal to your last post in the other thread either later today or tomorrow....  [Read More]

Some of SilentScope's assertions have included that we should've stayed to fight wars like Vietnam I did? I thought my rhetoric would be seen as defeatism, not military jingoism. Oh well. I don't really know what to do in Vietnam. When I get home,...  [Read More]

If you look at the borders in 1953, only two borders, the one with Russia and North Korean were Communist. There was 7,000+ miles of borders with those horrible nasty capitalists so that argument doesn't hold water. Well, increasing those borders wo...  [Read More]

I was actually waiting for you to show up, SS. The wars you are talking about started because of stupidity on a politician's part, or someone actively fomenting it hoping the other would jump in. Korea began because the American Secretary of State dr...  [Read More]

We have cut and run in every war since Korea, and always after the administration that created the mess was kicked out. And what would happen if we decided to stick and fight in Korea, Vietnam? What would happen had we stayed there and CONTINUE to f...  [Read More]

I'd be interested in hearing an atheist describe how s/he can honestly believe that the universe just appeared out of nowhere and how they can believe in abiogenesis with the odds of that being around 1 in 10^40,000. That's equivalent to taking all t...  [Read More]

One note. I thought this was merely a thread to learn why we believe in certain things, and not a thread where you can go and debate our beliefs. Beliefs are...beliefs. They share basic assumptions. My goal is not to sway you, but to clarify what I b...  [Read More]

Yes, you absolutely can. However the problem lies in the fact that these laws of society claim to be dictated to us from the Christian God. Therefore these are the laws that God wants to live by for all time. Creates quite the conundrum as we are no...  [Read More]

There are many other quotes I can provide if you'd like, but they're all similarly ridiculous. I don't know what your opinion is, but I think stoning one's family to death if they worship another god, being required to put all POWs to death, to have...  [Read More]

Right. However, I going from the assumption that what we can see is "reality," because I've never experienced anything else and have nothing else to use. In this case, I'd be showing what is more likely inside that system. Okay. Oh, I don...  [Read More]

It's not a question of whether he could decide such a thing; it's more of whether it's even possible with the idea of God itself. God MUST know everything, because if he didn't then he wouldn't be all knowing... Then we have different ideas of God...  [Read More]

I'm not sure it's a rule he'd be breaking. It's what he is, a fundamental property of the God concept. Like the bit of Aquinas' about God being all good because it is his inherent nature to be good. Ergo God can't do evil, or put another way: God can...  [Read More]
