Already got mine submitted, but I don't exactly know how I would define it as a 'loss.' It would qualify very loosely for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Do I have to state exactly which one I'm going for, or could a reader decide for her/himself?...  [Read More]

Also, I would point out that Saddam Hussein allowed the world to believe he had the weapons that the administration claimed they were looking for. Saddam stated himself that he never thought the United States would invade his country. I don't have n...  [Read More]

I think you're confusing libertarians with true liberals. Libertarians are very much the personal freedom, small government people, and are very pro-gun, but more as a "keep the government out of my life" thing than anything else. Okay, an...  [Read More]

Okay, I intensely dislike the whole idea that you separate a wide set of political and cultural beliefs into one category or the other. One aspect that makes no sense to me are liberalists and guns. They wish to have fewer restrictions placed on pers...  [Read More]

I said nothing of the sort, and you know it. Actually no, but I'll cease derailing the thread. Oh come on, now you're just ranting on your soapbox. How does railing against Bush have anything to do with this thread? This isn't even your first pos...  [Read More]

Eliminating that right will only make lawful citizens unable to protect themselves against criminals with guns. Think of it like weed; it's illegal yet many many people use it. And for the record, a vast majority of people in this country are gun ow...  [Read More]

I actually would rather support the development of more effective non-lethal weapons instead. Rather than allow Americans to carry more devastating firearms, why not promote weapons that are less deadly? I certainly would feel more comfortable with h...  [Read More]

Fanatically one-sided ideas for governing an extremely diverse country like the US are invariably stupid. Which is why we voted for Bush; because he valued the unborn. And in all that, no one seemed to take notice that he gave less than a damn about...  [Read More]

I used to be extreme leftist, but that was only while Bush was in office. I was for Kerry literally because he was not Bush and nothing else. It was when Bush got elected... not re-elected, as he destroyed the democracy of the US in order to steal th...  [Read More]

I myself often get quite heated in certain types of arguments to the point where I can be almost completely unwilling to compromise. Sounds like someone I know. It's often when someone insults me by saying 'If you just stop regurgitating what your c...  [Read More]

Depends... naturally. It really depends on how strongly we believe in something that will lead us to how much we are willing to compromise. I have some very strong beliefs based on what I've collected from a number of people and read over the years...  [Read More]

@Darth_Yuthura--when you have the science to disprove God created the entire universe (note that the laws of science/physics break down at the point the Big Bang actually happens, so science _can't_ prove that), please let me know. I'll view that fin...  [Read More]

Who's 'we'? The thread aims to ask people what they believe and why. I think that I bring up a valid point when it comes to the credibility of alternate theories. The existence of God is essentially a circular argument whereas evolution has physical...  [Read More]

I was referring to the ideas present in the post of yours that I was replying to: creationism in the sense of the-world-was-made-five-minutes-ago and theistic evolution. Obviously there is no way to distinguish between them using physical evidence, b...  [Read More]

If by, "just as plausible" you mean, "have no differentiable physical evidence for either idea" then yes, that's quite true. Huh? There is physical evidence to show that evolution not only is very possible in its own right, but...  [Read More]

So you see, some ideas are not quite so plausible as others. Correction: It is within God's means, assuming he's omnipotent, to reasonably assume he either used creationism or evolution to produce humans....  [Read More]

The term creationism is not limited in its use to those who believe that God created humans "ready-made." Broadly it denotes anyone who believes that the universe was the creative act of a God, regardless of any particular mode of creation....  [Read More]

Those are my feelings on evolution/creation. I mean, I believe in evolution, but creationism had to come in somewhere, otherwise it probably wouldn't be written down as such. 'Creationism' is not properly used here. It is a belief, not an act. That...  [Read More]

It's largely a "Chicken or Egg;Which came first?" argument for what was the beginning if there was one (Existentialists don't believe there ever was). Creating beings that will evolve? Well, I'd say evolution is an extension of creation in...  [Read More]
