It's funny Marvin, because even if all the evidence proving evolution could be stored in a bedroom, you could fit all the evidence proving God, oh, wait, there is no evidence. Sorry.
I don't know who the worst mascot is, I have respect for all of them because they chose an alternative lifestyle and far be it from me to discriminate. As for the mascot I most pity, that's a tough question. Don't most mascots get the crappy end of the stick? The Trix Rabbit never gets any Trix, The Lucky Charms Leprechaun is always being chased around by kids, you just know that Carrot Top has never been lai
Well, much like Dan and Brad, my name is just my name. I was hoping I could be the first one to explain that, but winter break means I don't have as much time to sit around as usual. Oxymoronic, yes, it is. In addition, my AIM screen names beldenben and beldenben1 are also great examples of how creative I can be. Actually, my dad came up with it when he was giving accounts to everyone in my family which really made for some laughs when my mom
I was just reading over the first link you posted PoetPhilosopher and I found the following post by Sir Peter interesting. Reply By: Sir Peter Maxwell Posted: Friday, February 20, 2004 Dark-Star as you are something to do with the site I see you have looked into my password which contains the number 1982 - you are right that this year contains significance to me as it is the year my dear son R
I found it interesting that on more than one occasion Sir Peter felt it necessary to reference his "business associate" Matt Mansfield and his dealings with the ladies, comments which now seem strangely out of place. I felt that this could be a very likely clue as so far as I have seen, he has never listed anyone else by first and last name, except for "friends" like Tony Blair. Another reference that I found unusual in that it turned up absolutely no
Thanks Dan, but for the record, the e-mail address was added to the original post AFTER I asked my question. I just felt I should point that out seeing as how I have a feeling this topic is going to be getting a lot of traffic and I don't really feel like having everyone think I'm a moron. Also, I'd just like to say I think it's quite noble and brave of you to go first Dan and I'd like to wish you, along with everyone else, the best of luck, t
If I may be so bold as to quote myself back from reply #8: >>But any time anyone even mentions the word religion, everyone's radar goes way up and they go on the defensive. >>I'm not saying that nobody should be able to talk about religion if they want to, I just think it should be considered a Pandora's box that people need to use more caution before unleashing, and I'm talking in general, not just here. Kind of my way of saying
This may seem like a stupid question, but is there some way to nominate people anonymously, perhaps by e-mail? This is only my fourth day here and I'm kind of afraid to make public some of my opinions in these categories for fear of turning some people against me before they even know me. Also, I think that if everyone just makes their choices public, it could lead to bias in people as they would try to rally votes for and against someone and lead to a
My name is Ben. I have been commenting for all of three days now so I realize that I may be a new face to a lot of you but I intend to take care of that as soon as possible. Much like Muggaz, I post crap, but I take the added measure of making my articles so long that no one has actually made it all the way through one yet. I also choose the most irrelevant topics that way I can ensure that absolutely no one can take offense to anything I writ
You are correct. I was not clear enough. The Internet is the perfect place for a discussion of religion, as long as it is a discussion or debate and not a crusade/gospel.
I think you missed the whole point of my earlier post Trinitie. I'm not telling anyone what to believe. I'm just saying some people, myself included, don't enjoy being told what they should believe. I would never tell someone that they are wrong about their beliefs, but that is exactly what imajinit did to me and probably others. I never said that anyone shouldn't talk about Jesus and God, I was just saying that people should consider who they are talk
I don't think you need to put preaching in quotation marks. The only thing that could make me feel like I was more in church was someone passing around a collection plate. >>who cares about who's right and who's wrong? Uh, maybe the people who you just said were wrong.
I don't mean to offend anyone here, so forgive me if I'm stepping on toes, but I just think religion is one of those things that just shouldn't be discussed. Ever. At least, outside of a church, mosque, synagague, etc. I mean, if someone has religion and it helps their life, that's fantastic, more power to them. And at the same time, if religion isn't important to someone, that's their choice as well. But any time anyone even mentions the word religion
>>An activity involving physical exertion and skill that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often undertaken competitively. >>You could say running does have it's rules and customs, such as share the trails, don't run in the middle of the road, and don't harrass others could be all customs. Well, I was just speaking personally and I was thinking more along the lines of running for fun. Like, I said, I agree that track and c
After reading over what you wrote, I agree with you on most of your points, but not a few major ones. For one, I've never considered running itself a sport. Now, you say cross-country and track, and yes, I would be willing to argue that these are in fact sports, but simply running is not. And that's where my problems come in. Because yes, events like this are based solely on a person's strength of will and stamina. But doesn't a sport like football al
Perhaps it has something to do with a lip ring being pretty out in the open. If someone has their, bellybutton, nipple, penis, clit, whatever pierced, it's not something that gets seen everyday. And like you said, everyone has pierced ears, so it's not particularly original. I see more and more girls getting tongues done and more and more noses done, and like I said, I don't like it, but somebody must. But generally, I associate piercings more with gir
In general, I can't stand tattoos or piercings of any kind. There have been exceptions meaning that on a few rare occasions I've seen ones that I found mildly attractive, but most of the time they just make me ill. Of course, I must obviously be the exception to the rule since more and more people seem to be getting stuff like that done. At least it makes the screening process that much easier. And at the same, I don't really like jewelry either, which
"Orgasms experienced by recovered virgins are 200% stronger than those by non-virgins." - So wait, they went through the whole reclaim your virginity thing and then they had sex again? And wouldn't this be like a one-time thing seeing as how once you get the orgasm you aren't a virgin anymore? I know, you can have an orgasm without having sex, but come on. Is there a team of scientists performing experiments on lab rat orgasms right now? "Hair
I liked reading about how people confused you with your brothers. I think this happens to just about anyone no matter who their siblings are or what they do. I have a younger brother who looks nothing like me but people confuse me with him all the time. I was at the doctor once having some minor surgery performed and the doctor kept calling me Andrew, which is my brother's name. I was like, "Do I really want to correct a guy who's cutting me open?" so
I think it's kind of unfair to say that Pixar's films are more Disney than Disney. Up until The Lion king, Disney had never even come up with an original idea for an animated film. They were simply adaptations of existing works, sometimes though they changed so much of them that if they didn't have the same name, you wouldn't be able to tell where they had come from. Then there's the whole debate on whether The Lion King was stolen itself from the Japa
>>Preemptive strikes by the UN on such sick nations in perennial turmoil, are surely more justified than our raid on Iraq. That's kind of like the old joke about the guy who's getting paid nothing and gets his salary doubled. You could name anything and it would be more justified than our raid on Iraq. Personally, I think we should try fixing the problems with the United States (sorry if you're from another country; I'm not familiar) before we
I've been going around to a lot of different blogs lately and I keep seeing the same names popping up in the comments to every one. I don't really know why I said that because I'm not going anywhere with it. I like to call what I write articles and I spend way too much time on them and as a result they tend to be pages longer than necessary. Also, it keeps me from posting anything more than once or twice a week. Maybe this site isn't the best forum for
I'd like to thank you for this article. It pretty much sums up the exact same problem I have about having too much on the mind to go to sleep. I even wrote my own article about it awhile back when I couldn't sleep. It just makes me feel better knowing others are the same way, as bad as that sounds. Actually, the more people I talk to, the more people I find out have trouble sleeping. Maybe it's something about our modern lifestyles, maybe it's just tha
I think you missed the point of the entire article here Dan. This isn't what being a teenager is like at all. I know, I was just one up until a few months ago. This is obviously an incredibly post-modern parody of life as a teenager based off of fictional TV shows and the like. You can tell be the massive amount of profanity and the description of something as 'gay'. In fact, I was mad that someone else beat me to the point of saying something about th
Well, welcome. I'm in math education myself, so people typically think of me as being very cold and logical. I even had a professor once in an English class who told me that I thought differently than everyone else and I saw numbers where they saw pictures or some such crap. It wasn't true because I could write circles around those people. I have to say, I don't agree with your comments about how people who agree think you are smart whereas people who
