Ah yes, selective literalism is a Christian apologists favourite weapon of mass delusion. If they can't make it fit with reality then it's just a metaphor, but if it pushes their wacko ideology then it's literal.
They're only doing this for the money, so it's not really something to applaud. Do you think the Chinese government allowed this to happen because they didn't want it to happen? This was intentional, and it's obvious people got paid to make it happen.
I'm afraid the alternative to that Dooms Day scenario would be that Furries would be selected for and humans would become a furry species, you know what I mean.
Cancer treatment is crude so far with our current technology. Can you imagine how crude it was a thousand years ago? It was nowhere as close as effective as modern medicine. Don't get me wrong I am extremely saddened with our current level of medicinal ingenuity. Killing cancer by poisoning it slightly more than normal human cells is absolutely ludicrous in every aspect, but it's what we are able to accomplish in our current technological age. Sin is a poor excuse for the troubles that plague humanity in our current age. If people truly cared about each other, and truly cared about our own well being we would be able to overcome our genetic and environmental detrimental effects that cause cancer and much of Homo sapien suffering. This causes me a disturbing amount of sadness because if we only looked after one another instead of following old, superstitious beliefs we would be so far ahead in curing all our primitive diseases such as cancer or any communicable disease. Sorry for the run on sentences but I've had a bit to drink and I truly wish humanity would get over arbitrary differences and work together with at least the effectiveness of ants. Be honest, can you imagine if Homo sapien were as loyal and willing to work for the common good as ants? It brings tears to my eyes to think of the beauty humans could accomplish if we simply looked beyond skin colour, belief, sex, nation, or any other arbitrary distinction and truly helped every single human on the face of planet Earth. Perhaps one day we will accomplish such a thing, I am absolutely afraid that that in my life time no such revelation will come to pass. Will humanity be destined for arbitrary distinction? God forbid...
Troll? This is/. ! Anti-Windows is auto +1. But to be serious Linux is less prone to hardware exploits than Windows is. Whether by accident or design, I leave that decision up to you.
True, back in the good old days of capitalism when a corporation could REALLY make a buck. Child labour, unsafe working conditions, and extremely low wages really were the best thing capitalism had going for our country before we went and ruined it with government interference. How the heck is our society supposed to operate properly with all this government intrusion into how a corporation wants to run its business, we should deregulate everything and remove the socialist fascist government of today from our Holy Corporate Benevolent Life-Givers.
The Red Scare never ended in the USA but that doesn't mean a whole lot of other countries have a culture of fear. USA just has the best culture of fear, congrats guys for the accomplishment.
Seriously? It's the ultimate revenge plot in the west. Even if you're just accused of having child porn, regardless if it's true or not, your life is ruined from that moment on. All for what amounts to what, maybe a couple hours of programming? Talk about return on investment, and probably no way to trace the program back to the 'hacker' means almost no liability. It's the perfect dish to serve cold.
Well, it's all based on diet, right? So I'd say an American on a diet of McDonald's would taste like crap, while an American on a diet of Kobe beef and other high end produce would be the cats pajamas of long pork.
The opinion of god is the only one that counts? Yes, that makes perfect sense, because everything god says is perfect, right?
Numbers 15:35
And the Lord said unto Moses, The man [who was found picking up sticks on the sabbath] shall be surely put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones.
1 Samuel 15:2-3
Thus saith the Lord of hosts... go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare him not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
So gods perfect opinion is killing people for picking up sticks and killing babies and pretty much anything that breathes is A-OK!
What does not believing in a god have anything to do with morality? More importantly, what does believing in a god have to do with morality? People were moral long before people created the god hypothesis. Just because we're made up of molecules and are a result of evolution doesn't mean that we can't be moral. False dichotomies and fallacious presuppositions are not evidence to support that theism is any more moral than atheism. That's like saying since I believe in Santa Claus I'm more moral than somebody who doesn't because I know that if I'm good I'll get presents. Patently ridiculous! Also, should it matter if you shot somebody in the face when you were drunk, or sober? It should matter that you shot somebody in the face.
Perhaps putting an adhesive over the protective layer would allow the regolith to attach itself creating a natural barrier helping prevent further erosion.
Homo sapien are one of the least genetically diverse animals known on this Earth. The "races" of Homo sapien are remarkably close with genetic makeup, more or less it is the expression of those genes that make the only difference.

Actually there is, it's called Android.
I don't see how TV broadcasts could be considered signs of intelligent life.

They taste better when you are half baked as well.

She's a bureaucrat, of course she doesn't have anything better to do!

And this is why Linux is better than Windows. (mod me up thanks)

Yeah but you're not fined or jailed if you don't own a car (yet). So the analogy doesn't really fit.
Exactly! The Republicans might be evil bastards but the Democrats don't have any fucking balls.

The solution is easy, we just have to breed smarter cats and let them loose. What could possibly go wrong?
I wish our society would just get over the green grass lawn. It's absurdly wasteful, especially in dryer climates.

Will it also delete all my scat pr0n as I sure wouldn't lose those many terabytes of data that took me many a month to collect.
Oh who am I kidding, it's because he flamed iApple iSoftware or whatever and the mods are furious.
Tell that to someone who has skin cancer from sun exposure! Sol is anything but safe, even if it is rather convenient.
