World's Oldest Rocks Found
Smivs writes "The BBC reports that Earth's most ancient rocks, with an age of 4.28 billion years, have been found on the shore of Hudson Bay, Canada. Writing in Science journal, a team reports finding that a sample of Nuvvuagittuq greenstone is 250 million years older than any rocks known. It may even hold evidence of activity by ancient life forms. If so, it would be the earliest evidence of life on Earth — but co-author Don Francis cautioned that this had not been established. 'The rocks contain a very special chemical signature — one that can only be found in rocks which are very, very old,' he said."
According to any religion-respecting Christian, the rocks are only 5,000 years old.
I have no problem with Christians. I have a problem with someone that wants to run the country according to their religion, though. But if she keeps religion out of her office, I'd be fine with it.
Job? I don't have time to get a job! Who will sit around and bitch about being broke and unemployed then?
Well, you can call me a troll but it was just a stupid attempt at a joke, too.
The good thing about the top two candidates this time around is that neither of them are fanatic about their religion and I don't believe they'd try to push their religions into policy. Unfortunately, McCain picked a nutjob, so it might still happen if he is elected. Holy fuck he better not get elected.

That there's terrorist talk! How come you want to destroy America commie?
Why post anonymous?
I don't believe Barak Obama is a RACIST - although he has been associated with prominent black leaders in poorer communities that spread anti-white propaganda.
Sure, I'm sure Barak has had to deal with some pretty lame shit, growing up as a fairly poor black man. You can't blame someone for having associations with certain people when you come from that background.
I have acquaintances that are drug dealers, and others that have done prison time. I also have friends that hold local office and are leaders in their communities. Does this make me a drug dealer too? Or does it make me a normal human being?
I guess you believe in "Guilt by association." Why are standards so high for the president that they can't have ANY marks on their past? I'd rather have someone leading the country that has experienced the good as well as the bad.
I'm no Obamaholic, but I believe in giving everyone their fair shot. Go back to the hole you came from, or don't post anonymous, you fucking coward (I mean, you don't even have the balls to post something on the Internet under your Slashdot handle? Weak dude.)

Two-Face: [finishing his "almost got him" Batman story] ... And if it weren't for this blasted coin... I would have got him.
The Joker: Gee, that's too bad, Harv, but I guess you'll always come in second. Anybody else want to go?
Killer Croc: [hits the table] ME! There I was, holed up in this quarry, when Batman came nosing around. He was getting closer... Closer...
Poison Ivy: And...?
Killer Croc: I threw a rock at him!
[everyone stares in dead silence]
Poison Ivy: So, Harvey, when became of the giant penny?
Killer Croc: It was a big rock...
Two-Face: They actually let him keep it!
