Theory-Affirming Evidence About the Universe
Bill Kendrick writes "Astronomers using a radio telescope at the South Pole have recorded a flicker of light from nearly 14 billion years ago that verifies most modern theory about the cosmos. Way back then, light and matter were only just beginning to separate from each other."
shizzle mah nizzle
So I came home from work the other day to discover my cat laying on the floor. His breathing was very shallow and his eyes were very glassy. When I approached him I noticed a belt tied around his arm and both a syringe and a bent spoon laying beside him. Despite all his promises to the contrary, my beloved Mittens has started shooting up smack again!
Fortunately the paramedics showed up quickly and gave him some naloxone which saved him. Unfortunately the problem of my cat being addicted to heroin still remains. Last week he sold my stereo and this weekend Mittens offered to perform oral sex on me in exchange for a hit.
I love my cat and want to see him off this horrible drug. Unfortunately he won't stop on his own! Mittens says he can quit anytime he wants to and becomes combative when I force the issue. I'm tired of seeing him throw his life away. He could've been a great mouser, one of the best before he got hooked.
Can anyone recommend a way to get my cat off heroin? It would be much appreciated.

Good job you little neo-commies. Don't want to hear the other side, shoot the fucker in the head as an ENEMY OF THE STATE [In this case anyone who seeks to improve the sad state of

The reason China blocked Slashdot is that when Jiang Xemin saw at how good "The Editors" at Slashdot are at suppressing the community, he knew that if more of his party members saw this degree of suppressive efficacy, he would be deposed, for the good of the people, of course, in favor of Rob Malda as the all new supreme dictator and premier of China.

FNORD! 42!
No, it could mean days as defined by how long it takes the wicked witch on the west flying on a broomstick while tracing pluto's path!
And if he was all powerful, why would time be an issue for him. If I was all power I would just stop time and do it so no one could measure how long it would take, and if I could just simple stop time then it should take no time at all to make the world.
Rife with self contradictory things. It wasnt meant to be taken literally. Western religions are proscriptive and have zealous follows. Kind of like crapintosh users. Those machines are modern art, they aren't actually supposed to be used.
über-Jew - here is the chosen bible scholar furiously looking through scripture with titles like "Bible Scholar" and typing letters to rabbis on "Dagesh."
Relax, you take your Khazar hack of a religion too seriously. Lets not act like Judaica hasnt been subect to a bit of editing here and there. When were the 316 written? And the little man in the clouds wants you to follow them or he makes you get really mad at some dude who magically parts large bodies of water and then collapses them on those angry menas PUNISHMENT, for he is a vengeful god. Please. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, I know a neighbor who can do the parting water trick in his backyard pool - kinda neet. Roger is his name, and I live in his neighborhood. [He happens to be a shrubber - shrubberis are his business.]
let's not get über-Jew, like its some sort of reference religion.
Another thing about modern Judaica, why all the Ashkenazi? They don't seem to be descendant of the Sephardic peoples you speak of. Most modern Jews are overwhelmingly by percentage Ashkenazi. The funny thing about Ashkenazi is that they are not closely related to the generation indigenous Jews, but rather descendants of the Turkic Khazars , who converted to Judaism by mandate of kings [Bulan and Obadiah].
The claims of being Jewish by the Ethopian [The people called Lemba, a Bantu-speaking people of southern Africa, have a tradition that they were led out of Judea by a man named Buba] Jews are actually genetically founded and tied to Sephardic priests in modern day Israel, the cohanim, the priests who are of single father ancestry, none other than Aaron. A team of geneticists has found that many Lemba men carry in their male chromosome a set of DNA sequences that is distinctive of the cohanim, the Jewish priests believed to be the descendants of Aaron.
Now, about Ashkenazi Jews. It seems most will not subject themselves to testing because they know they are basically Russian/Turkish. Why is that Sephardic Jews are looked down on by the Ashkenazi? Why did the late adoption of Judaism by the Khazars lead to so many changes in religious rites, customs and philosophy.
My point is this. The Ashkenazi have had a net negative effect on the purity of the Jewish religion. One can contrast the customs of Othodox Christians, which follow ritual very similar to Jews as the religion has evolved very little since the advent of Christ [if he was Mosiach or a Prophet remains to be seen.]. I am so sick of Ashkenazi Jews putting goofy made up 8th century holidays on the calendar, talking about kosher crap. I get the unlevened bread thing. And the who Shabbat thing. But lets get real, glatt kosher, parve? Why not do what most religions do and just fast, which is probably where it all came from. So , while I agree with the mangling of the bible, lets not say that the average English Torah is free from being edited. And if the King James is such crap, where are the Jews to print off a really, really good MODERN translation of the Torah [know as old testament to the Christians, btw, and that term is offensive to Jews]? What are some of the Talmudic treatises so anti-everything-that-isn't-Judaic? Why is it that I don't believe that Judaism in its modern form is somehow better than Christianity.
Now, as an aside. Islam is crap. It was good, for a time. Things have been done in the past under the faith of Islam which are appreciable. But modern day Islam is, if anything, a manifestation of the horde that will follow the anti-Christ. How can a religion who has the same root religion, the same prophets, and the same god be twisted into the modern day trash that it is. The Koran, the Talmud, the New Testament, its all political, subject to revision crap that is a list of excuses to pull bullshit in the name of God.
Now why is it that Hindu and Buddhism don't get the attention they need from western countries. These religions are far closer to ideal because they are not proscriptive, they do not cause war, the do not force people to act a certain way, etc. No one seems to be missionaries for those religions. They seem to exist and a tradition, and indication of culture rather than a focal point for channeling human zealotry. Another thing about the said religions, they don't seem to pull the collection basket routine. Its not a cash vacuum like the other religions are. That is interesting to me. Seems more timeless than money.
Your god exists, and others don't? Your god is right and others aren't? And then religious people make stupid excuses like.. god is inside of everyone, god is your soul... and so on.
And I can go to space anytime i want. I really can! Except that you might think i mean universe.. i actually meant local bar to which i can go anytime i want.
It's just a matter of interpretation. And so called "God" is changing form so it can still fit the bible and all other religious crap.
I personally have nothing against religion. My beef was with people who use religion as a tool to negate science, the converse doens't have to be true, that was you projecting what you read into the post. By the way, I am probably more conservative than not, but not Republican. I am pro-constitution (100%, no excptions), but I like having homosexuals, non-christians, and even "god haters", atheists, agnostics around. I do not blame certain groups in society for the ills of society. Doesn't bother me because I am secure I my belief, and that is, I don't know what to believe, I just hope for the best.
If Christianity, the religion that once did excommunicate Galileo (and let him back in, which is modern and impressive, just took 400 years), gives you solace, comfort, and a metric by which to lead your life, enjoy. And I hope for everyone's sake that the good afterlife is indeed true. I just don't but into it hook line and sinker. But I also do not deprecate the values and moral structure it may provide for you. Funny, I was born Catholic - and no, priests never treated me poorly (or did any diddling). I have no animosity towards it - its just not what I need for me. Please just don't call me liberal. I hate categorical designations, and most conservatives like to engage in labeling, which is unfortuante.
why would this all knowing wonderbar god create beings prone to this "failure".
maybe the thing which we think of as god is the sum of all souls, and each person is a part of that.
"what if god were one of us"
you proscriptive nature is distrubing, you would speak for god, as you do now, damning religion that is older than yours.
not really
The thing with the duck (i think it was a gose) is that if a duck can fly and she weighs less than a duck then she must be able to fly to or something like that.
Yes, and he totally blew away the line. She couldn't weigh less than a duck, she had to weigh the same as a duck, becuase if she weighs the same as a duck, then she's made of wood, and therefore, she's a witch.
- "That's just the kind of fuzzy-headed liberal thinking that leads to being eaten."
Or maybe it is just God's plan for you to annoy the fuck out of independent thinking folk.
It's 10 PM. Do you know if you're un-American?
