    Both perfectly legal

    It's not a crime to pay someone for their time.

    Your analogy is fucked.

    Since when is a VPN gateway anything like a torrent tracker?

    Thinking would be another great alternative.

    Don't send email from the local pub.

    There is a reason I don't have a blackberry.

    It takes much more than a few seconds to re-read and edit one of my emails. :)

    I don't sober up that quickly.

    But hey, I guess at least one religious mod would rather try to hide any fair criticism, than engage in reasoned debate.

    Do you honestly expect to get an intelligent debate out of someone who believes in fairy tales?

    Good luck with that...

    I don't attack religious people.

    I wouldn't pick on someone in a wheel chair and I wouldn't pick on someone with schizophrenia, so why would a deluded person be any different.

    A person with neurological disorder that makes them believe in irrational nonsense needs help not harassment.

    If you want to talk about "attacks" watch now as a Christian Mods this post down, most of us atheists are happy going about out own business but every single day our lives come under attack from religious organisations. I have some here in Australia trying to abolish free-speech because they don't like what people say, these people are so inconceivably stupid they don't even realise that they are exercising free-speech with every attack.

    I would add "atheist" that way they know they have a thinking human, rather than a sheep (from gods "flock").

    We DO have free-speech that is granted to us by our societies moral codes.

    Just because it isn't on paper it doesn't mean it is not there. However not being on paper means it is under constant threat, this threat is now being highlighted for us.

  16. Re:One good thing about Creationism on Want a Science Degree In Creationism? · · Score: 1

    I once had a Christian admit that they (Christians) might have miss judged the age of the earth and that it could be a little bit older than 4000 years. He suggested a small margin of error is bound to exist.

    However 4.5 billion years is not what I would call a "small margin of error".

  17. Re:Working vs. Teaching on Want a Science Degree In Creationism? · · Score: 1

    But these assholes want a "Science" degree so they can try to pass their bullshit of as fact.

    People suffering from these neurological disabilities should be given Bachelor of Bullshit degrees.

  18. Re:Working vs. Teaching on Want a Science Degree In Creationism? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that they get the title of "Dr" so they might be mistaken for an intelligent person.

    Allowing this sort of thing really is an insult to everybody in the scientific community.
    Especially to PhDs because it devalues their degree.

    If you see a lecture given by "Dr John Smith" you know this is someone with a high education. Giving deluded morons the same title discredits all people with this title.

    True, however laziness shouldn't be a legitimate excuse for doing things the wrong way.

    Because the factory will make more jeans in the future. If you look into a restaurant kitchen you will find they have varying quantities of all their supply's so that they would never run out of everything at the exact same time (if they stopped reordering).

    Ok car analogy, it's just not the same without a car involved. When you refuel your car do you put in just enough for the intended journey?

    eBay doesn't actually sell anything.

    It's an abuse of the legal system to allow these companies to go after ebay for counterfeit goods. How about going after the people committing the offence?
