    Releasing Vanguard before it was ready killed it. I fail to see how Warhammer doing the same thing will have any other outcome. This makes me sad; I was really looking forward to Warhammer Online.

    You don't have to get a data plan do you? It is possible to get the phone for $200 and then use one of the bacis phone service plans, correct?

    Sure, that would be a waste fo an iPhone, but I could see a lot of people doing that so they can appear to be "hip" or "cool" with their iPhone while. But then again, I live near Scottsdale where a lot of people try to appear to have money when they don't.

    "You have to sign up for a contract!"

    I think that's a pretty valid complaint. Being locked into a contract lowers the companies desire to offer decent customer service when compared to how they would want to treat you if you could just switch providers whith a phone call.

    I was jsut surprised that it failed at both an action movie and a T&A movie. TO be honest, I expected the action movie portion to be rather lame. However, I thought they would at least get the T&A right. As you said, "a big titted heroine"; How do you screw that up? She has shown more T&A in a drama then she did in Tomb Raider.

    I don't know if there are any non-Christian ID supporters. Certainly it is obvious that ID was created to get Creationism into schools. I was just pointing out that if they taught ID in schools, that they would probably avoid correlation to one religion and let the kids who learn it apply it to what ever religion they have at home. That little difference is a big difference between Creationism and ID. With Creationism, you had to choose a Creation story; with ID you don't.

    Acts 10:9-16 (New International Version)

    Peter's Vision

    9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

    10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

    11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

    12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air.

    13 Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."

    14 "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."

    15 The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."

    16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.


    I can certainly see how that relates to food, the dream was about food and the voice said "anything"; not just man.

    I do not support ID, but there is a difference between ID and Creationism; if just a small one.

    Creationism teaches a creation myth, like you mention in your post. That brings religion into the schools and forces you to choose one to teach.

    The difference with ID, from creationism, is that it teaches that something intelligent designed life. It does not go into what intelligence. ID lets you go home and choose what creation myth you want to believe in, as it works just as well with most of them. So they would not be teaching Adam and Even of any other actual creation myth, just reinforcing what you learn from your religion.

    I'm no expert when it comes to religion, but wouldn't the Islamic creation story be really similar to that of the Christians and Jews. You know, Adam and Eve and all. Don't think the Christians are going to get all made when you start saying that God created Adam and Eve.

    I wonder about this too. Homosexuality is an abomination, and so are shell fish. So, why is it that shell fish are ok now, but homosexuality is not? You'd think an abomination is an abomination, right?

    "I'll go with whatever you guys who vote decide" - To get that, then you'd have to only count votes of those that voted. But his system is based around needing 50% of all the people, not just those who care enough about the issues to show up to a vote. Sure, it's a flawed system. but within the concept of his system, it makes more since for a non-vote to equal "no" then "yes".

    IF the law(whatever) does not pass, then everything stays the way it is; when it passes things change. Because of that, a 'No" vote from non-voters is a better choice then a "yes" vote, because it works to keep things the way they are; no change.
