I know what you mean.. and there are quite a few deaths (hundreds, even thousands a month) if we're looking at religious-initiated deaths around the world each month. If ALL of them actually did it, I don't think we would have gotten very far in society and would still be living on dirt floors. There are extreme measures taken everywhere, mostly in the middle east and Africa... but, it shows, ya know?
There are going to be crazies everywhere, Westboro Baptist church for example. They live off of people beating the piss out of them every day.
But.. to each their own, I guess. I suppose it's easier for me to overlook because I grew up around it. But, of course they're not all bad or idiotic people... the ones you actually hear or see on TV usually make a bad name, but that goes for any type of issue.
So are you against all fiction books, cartoons and television?
People who dedicate their lives to star wars, D&D, star trek and so forth, don't harm anyone... it's not as extreme as protesting or building churches... but entertainment no less.
I'm not a bible pusher and I study evolution and science, as well as human sociology and psychology well enough to know that people will be people.
If you're that hateful against non-scientific forms of entertainment and belief, you should be against it all. Whether it's a movie or a religion that's false, neither of them are really harming you, personally... I wouldn't think.
I'm not flaming you, just giving a different point of view. I hope you don't take offense.
She failed to mention that they had no hair, were 10 feet tall and their balls dragged 5 feet behind them. Not only that, but the wolves ate her garage too.
I wouldn't necessarily go as far to call people dumb, or idiots, because they're part of the 98% of people on the planet who have religious traditions.
In fact, I'm willing to bet that more than 60% of traditionally religious people believe in science and evolution, but still practice religion for other reasons.
On the other hand, to build a museum to go against scientific fact and fuel the flames, takes a lot of balls... But, then again... it's Kentucky we're talking about. If you took a drive through WV, Kentucky, Tennessee or surrounding areas, you'd realize why.
I'm not going against your post to flame you, I'm just saying that I wouldn't consider anyone an idiot because it's how they grew up. I don't think that it's an insult to anyone of science either, considering they've already proved their point.
If you think about it, religious extremists are a dying breed (in a lot of ways), and those who think they're backed in a corner by modern-day thoughts are, I guess, "stupid" enough to take ridiculously extreme measures.
I guess people will be people. I'm not going to dog them (too much) because of what they believe in. I'm sure more than half the people we know have religious ties... and out of everyone we know, there are probably some real idiots on both sides, Religious or not.
Yeah... Baptist's have a variety of different outlooks. You could go to one in Southern WV and have people talking in tongues, handling snakes and drinking strychnine... then go to southern PA and just have people singing songs and talking very little about the bible or religion.
I tend to steer away from most of those conversations. I know scientific fact and evolution, but I find it best not to fight over something that people believe in more than life itself. I guess that's what they're finding out in the Middle-East right now.
"We think you're being a bit harsh with the extreme religion, there. OOOoooh, you've strapped bombs to yourself. AND, you're willing to blow yourself up for your religion. I see, um... Maybe you're right about the 40 virgins. In the meantime, I'm going to go over THIS way."
A lot of people take it sooo seriously. I know I've talked to my grandmother about evolution, though Religion is a family tradition... and she didn't think anything of it.. but other people are incredibly sensitive for no reason. Strange.
Over 500 people have climbed Everest THIS YEAR. Not only that, but they pay over $40,000 to do so. Basically, if you've got money.. they'll make sure you get there. If you want to be stupid and fuck around with a computer while you're up there, don't act like you're cool because you did.
If he wants to be impressive and tell a story about something that people haven't heard before, he should try to climb the East face of K2, THEN get back to us.
From what I was reading (I may just be misunderstanding), the reason it took them so long to triangulate the girl's location was because it took days for them to even get permission through the warrant system to be able to trace her phone. By then, it was way too late.
I know there are other bad things about tapping as well as all the other pros and cons... but, you'd think that after issues with national security, abductions and drug issues, they would have found some "special case" laws to circumvent all the bullshit with a bit less of a paper trail.
If someone was able to find out the president was doing it without warrant,(mainly media) then who else has access to that information?
The people most concerned are those who have something to hide. AKA Corrupt Politicians and those associated with them.
If laws weren't as shitty as they are now with tapping, cell triangulation would be a bit more efficient and quick when trying to find missing people.... Like the chick in Kansas they found by her cell phone a few days too late because of the gay-ass "warrant" process taking 2 days.
Yeah, to an extent.....but I'd rather my family test the lock on my door that I just made, than buy one off the shelf that has a manual for everyone to read on.
I agree.. But, I do wonder what this actually pertains to? (if I had the attention span to read up, I'd probably find out.)
I know that several Electronic Attack jets in the Navy actually run on a windows base, but, it's probably a special flavor of some sort. I could see general IT tools, programming and such, playing a key when it comes to new open source ideas as well.
I work at a company that deals with secure financial information and they rely on quite a few open-source tools, but they're windows-based programming.
It would be nice to know the details of it all... and I doubt that even if they did decide on products, it would be wise to not tell the public what they choose. (In other words, we'll hear about it tomorrow.)
MAYBE, just MAYBE, they should consider creating their own software and environments that are specific to their own use. Rather than use something "open source" that everyone has access to... for a reason of... um... what's that word called?.... Security?
Slashdot Mirror
Star Trek isn't real?
Fuck.
I actually had a copy of that.. probably still do somewhere. Funny stuff.
Go eers! BCS champs this year.. I feel it.

Maybe they'll just do an even trade.
I still think MS will have a linux variant by 2015.
They have the resources, support and money... it's just not a huge threat to them at the time being.
and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu...
Or something.
Using their x-ray laser vision to cut a hole in the wall... DUH.
"Foster environments for non-scientific thought"?

2 tits, a hole and heartbeat will suffice.
Irregular heartbeat and small tits optional.

I think it's just based on the area and founders.
So true.

Who owns the patent on life in southern West Virginia?
I've been there a few times, and there are quite a few living on the minimum requirements for gene usage.
Roscoe's chicken and waffles, nigga!
Wooooot!

Good point.
Now that I woke up and feel refreshed, I feel like a douchebag after reading what I wrote last night.
My apologies.
I already said I was wrong, thanks for being redundant. Shit on me for admitting it, douchebag.
