Because a peer-to-peer twit requires two wireless connections. ESPN can send the SMS via landline, so that's even more free that sending a SMS message.
I have not even tried to prove any belief or theory. I have also not attempted to discredit any either. I have reasons for believing what I believe, you have yours. In the end you saying "it's made up" carries no weight. And me saying 'because I say so' doesn't either.
My point remains that we are all on equal ground. So quit acting like your "I said so" means any more than than anyone else's.
your assumption that it isn't true is pulled out of your ass more than the belief in question.
I find it very interesting how the biggest argument against religion is "It's made up." You argument and proof all rolled up into one; how convenient... yet completely worthless.
Anyone who tries to sum up something as complex as a religion in a sentence like that is ignorant.
Someone said (I believe it was later than this post) that creationists should not be allowed to comment on evolution because they don't understand it. What about the other way around? Obviously the parent has not spent a lot of time getting to understand any religion, and should keep his two cents to himself.
The simple fact of the matter is that no one knows if they have the correct answer. Which means that all major philosophies should be taught. I know that everyone likes to say "teh fundies r dumb" but you have no more proof that there isn't a superior being who created the universe than they have for it. You can make valid arguments for either one, and the only way to not see either case is to blind yourself with tenacity, and/or arrogantly thinking that you know everything.
Which is why both creationism and evolution (for lack of a better title) should be taught. Because we don't know how this world came about, and the only way we ever will find out for certain is if it turns out that there is a god and he decides to inform us. Other than that there is no clear answer and everyone should be more tolerant of everyone else's "guess."
Oh, and there is no reason why both can't be true. Evolution makes sense from either standpoint. IMO, evolution makes a stronger case for a divine creator. But I won't elaborate, This isn't what this topic is about (although inevitably every discussion on this topic at slashdot turns to/.ers bashing on religion).
While the person you are replying to may have taken a more... extreme... view, I agree.
The problem is with society, the fact that it promotes sexuality, but also that it promotes getting whatever you want. Businesses love it when somebody charges something when they can't really afford it (and obviously the credit card companies do too). The side effect of people thinking they should be able to get whatever they want is that when they want to have sex with someone (child or non) they'll do what they can to get what they want. Maybe they have some prior knowledge to reason themselves out of it, maybe they have an angle on their left shoulder, maybe they're unable. But if chance has it that this is not the case, we're giving them everything they need to follow through with their innate desires, conformation by telling them that they deserve to have what they want. Child Molestation, Rape, Murder, cheating on a test. Actually almost any crime (or disapproved action) can be brought back to this argument.
Though I would never say this is the only problem, just the biggest.
Ultimately, the problem is society's abuse of human desires. They exploit them to sell a product. I feel there is a lot of damage cause by this. Though I doubt many people feel that way.
Just because nobody tries to save clock cycles or disk space, doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. You should always try to optimize.
There are good uses for that space. It might not be a bad idea to use the free space as backup. That way, your main files are on a reliable server somewhere, but then if something goes wrong you can get the files off the network. If there is a problem with a computer crashing or being shut down, the file transfer can wait since its just the backup. I would say use it as a third backup, not the only backup.
