I'm not saying it's not an amazing game. I'm sure it is. It's just not worth me buying a PS3. Once there are at least ten PS3 games that I feel are worth it I'll pick up the system. I too have a buddy with a PS3 so I can check out whatever games I want over there. It all works out. Well, not for Sony, yet.
That's the point I was trying to make. Since Hilary and Palin are opposed in their political views, if there are any voters that are moving to McCain over the 'female' thing, it's negligible. The other point I wanted to make was that McCain is a pretty good strategist, and sure that was not his intention.
Being that she's from Alaska, I want to know more about her environmental policies. I know she was on some conservation boards, but that's it. From what I can gather she's gung ho about tapping into Alaska's oil. Well, so is everyone with an SUV these days. That doesn't make it excusable. Get a bike. Got a family? Get them all bikes.
All signs point to whoever wins has to clean up after Bush, rather than push their own agenda.
Where did I say that there was some preference? I'm not saying schools should endorse any religion over another. I'm saying students should not be hindered from being who they are when in school. If students want to argue ID vs Evo, let them. What will come of it? As long as the teacher knows how to run a structured discussion you're results will be more understanding and respect for the other people. Probably not respect for their beliefs, but certainly for their character.
Now, I know that's a little far-fetched as when I was in high school I spent a lot of time dodging ridicule for being fat and smart. But that was from the fit idiots. The fit smart people would discuss things with me openly and we shared respect for each others beliefs. The only 'smart' person I ever clashed with was my Biology teacher who threw me out for asking him to call evolution a theory and teaching it as such. We eventually got along starting with a mutual enjoyment of Iron Butterfly.
I'm with you that neither evolution or creation make any sense and neither are currently provable. I think both of them definitely have their merits. As small scale evolution is undeniable as it has been observed. But even what we've observed cannot account for random chance giving birth to a working cell.
Saying some all powerful being created the universe is a little nutty, but I do believe it. I believe Jesus is my savior. What's so hard about His dad making everything after that? To me, there is just as much faith required to believe in God as there is in evolution. And if we stick theory of existence into a particular class, you're right, it probably should be in a philosophy class. Just try and prove to some of those guys that you even exist.
From what I gather both sides figure they've got the election in the bag. And I haven't been watching many speeches. I seriously doubt that there is any lamb factor here. Perhaps McCain is trying to pick up a good deal of sway votes from the Hilary supporters that didn't like Obama, but probably won't work so well. McCain knows that.
Where did you read that? My bill of rights reads, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.."
Meaning that they can't make laws against or for religion (any of them). Which is really hard to interpret... wait, no it's not. Public schools should be a place where EVERY religion (and non-religion) is accepted. I don't remember any part of the Bible saying the Earth is the center of the solar system or the universe either. I may be wrong.
At any rate I couldn't care much less whether or not ID is taught in school as long as the kids understand that evolution is the theory that makes the most sense out of our existence to the most people at this time.
Yeah, I've met them before. Pretty irrational. Yes, I guess you could say that if you had infinite power you could definitely jump start a universe at any point you want. But where's the fun in that?! I look at some things and they make absolutely no sense. My natural reaction is to want to figure it out, not cover it up and say, "Shh! My beliefs are too shaky for you to exist." What's the point in that?
I honestly believe that there is never going to be a way to either prove or disprove the existence of God. Well, other than say, the babel fish.:)
Hey, I'm a creationist and I think this is fascinating. For the record, I don't care how old the universe is. The older it is the more incredible I find things. Things never seem to quit getting bigger or smaller. Or older or newer. As I understand it (I am no quantum physicist) the Plank Length is pretty much the smallest thing that we can account for right now, yes?
While I can agree with most of that, in that Lucas sucks, the part about introducing a kiddy aspect into ep 6 isn't really true. Originally he wanted Wookies on Endor, but the cost of the costumes were too great, and he decided he wanted a different species (primitive) to help overthrow the empire. Whether or not all of that is true is subject to a great deal of scrutiny because Lucas has been known to say anything to save face... and sucks.
He reminds me of kids on a playground. As soon as some one finds a hole in his logic, he patches the logic hole, "Nuh, uh! I wanted Ewoks in the first place!"
Problem is that the trailer is already out. Shouldn't need to read a review to know that it look pretty terrible. I actually want to see it because I know how bad it is, but I'm certainly not willing to go to a theater on opening weekend. I'll wait a week or two until it hits the $2 place down the road. (Okay, it'll probably be high-buck for a month or so)
I mean, what kind of self-respecting galactic overlord would have a throne room without a deep reactor pit of death in it?
If you were a self-respecting galactic overloard we all know you'd want to sit on top of that power source, too. I know I would. But not for too long, who knows how mediclorines react to cancer...
Completely illegal. I work for a health care business office and they tried to pull that crap on us, saying we must be logged into the system and into our first account within 3 minutes of clocking in. If we don't have time after swiping, come in early.
I swiftly pointed out that practice to be illegal, and proceeded to time myself walking from the clock, to my workstation, booting my computer, loading Outlook (we are required to check for systems alerts before logging in) and even that took me almost 5 minutes. I hadn't even started our software. The max time between clocking and starting work went back to 10 minutes.
Labor laws are VERY clear on this issue. They can require you to come prepared (dressed a certain way, or whatever), but they cannot require you do perform ANY work related tasks without pay. Heck, they can't even ask.
So what you're saying is that some one would have had to re-invite him first, waited two months, and then got him to re sign up? Sounds like a lot of hoo-ha for a mount... wait. I remember that grind for cash and what not. That sucked! Not that I'd rejoin the Alliance or the Horde again, it's been almost a year and I don't really miss it.
I may pick it up again next summer when I move away from my family. The only reason I joined was to hang out with my brother over Ventrillo, who lived 800 miles away.
Well if we learned anything from Jurassic Park it's that whatever the command is, you need to add 'please' in there somewhere. (can't remember if the same issue was in the book)
I've had success with Craigslist. Multiple times. I've found an apartment in which I currently live, I've found a bike rack for my car which works great, I sold my old car. I've also been approached by scammers, but it's Craigslist and it's easy to catch scammers and just not respond to them or deal with them at all. All you have to do is meet in public for a cash transaction with a friend around.
Then in stead of a large rock hitting us we just get a large puddle of radio-active rock splashing us.
The earlier the better. Waiting for the last minute to exhaust a supply of nukes on one final hurrah should be just that. A last ditch effort to save this planet.
Who controls the British Crown? Who keeps the Metric System down? We do! We do! Who leaves Altantis off the maps? Who keeps the Martians under wraps? We do! We do! Who holds back the electric car? Who makes Steve Guttenberg a star? We do! We do! Who robs cave fish of their sight? Who rigs every Oscar night? We do! We do!
They're teachings on the intent of anyone's behavior, individual or organizational. The verses were pertaining to the pharasies and other people who did 'good deeds' and prayed in public places for their personal, or organizational glory. Jesus taught that they should do things for God's glory, and to live in humility. You can still pray in public, as long as the motive is correct. Nothing will stop me from praying for my meal at a public restaurant, and I'm certainly not doing it to gather attention. I just want to thank God for the food and the times.
If I walk out into the street and trumpet myself for having donated some cash to the Salvation Army, or inviting some homeless guy into my house for a warm bed on a cold night, that isn't what God wanted. There are a lot of verses where God says he doesn't want us to give or do things if we're going to be jackasses about it. God wants your heart, not your actions. The actions are because of your heart.
In that case we had better ban all clear liquids in video games. Can't use colored clear liquids either, those could be mixed drinks... Soon, the only thing that will ever appear will be that Blue Milk from Star Wars. I can't think of any alcoholic beverages that look like blue milk.

Try that one as a pick up line. It'll let you know if they're smart enough (or dumb enough, depends on what you're looking for, I suppose)
