    You do know that you have to play of specific servers to be able to buy and sell EQII items for real world cash, don't you?

    It isn't like people can buy the items on one of the SE servers then trasfer off either.

    If you don't like it then do not play on the TWO servers that offer the option.

    Target, gas stations, frys, newegg.com and a host of other companies have to pay govenment taxes and fees. But they include them in the advertized price of the product (save for sales tax). Telcos add these 'fees' so the CPM advertized will look lower than it really is.

    Yahoo Helped China Imprison Journalist Says Reporters Without Borders

    According to a report released by Reports Without Borders (Reporters sans frontieres) Yahoo Holdings (Hong Kong, China) helped China convict a journalist by providing the Chinese government with information to identify Shi Tao. Shi Tao was convicted to 10 years for leaking government information to the external media. Tao sent foreign websites copies of a message Chinese authorities sent to his newspaper which warned of the "dangers of social destabilisation and risks resulting from the return of certain dissidents on the 15th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre."

    The Bible makes no statements as to the age of the Earth.

    Let me repeat that. The Bible makes no statements as to the age of the Earth.

    Just because some count the number of generations in the Bible to 'prove' the age doesn't mean they are correct.

  20. They think the earth is only 6000 years old! on 20 Million Year Old Spider Found · · Score: 0, Troll

    Time and time again I have found that in both Christian and secular worlds, those of us who are involved in the creation movement are characterized as 'young Earthers.' The supposed battle-line is thus drawn between the 'old Earthers' (this group consists of anti-God evolutionists as well as many 'conservative' Christians) who appeal to what they call 'science,' versus the 'young Earthers,' who are said to be ignoring the overwhelming supposed 'scientific' evidence for an old Earth.

    I want to make it VERY clear that we don't want to be known primarily as 'young-Earth creationists.' AiG's main thrust is NOT 'young Earth' as such; our emphasis is on Biblical authority. Believing in a relatively 'young Earth' (i.e., only a few thousands of years old, which we accept) is a consequence of accepting the authority of the Word of God as an infallible revelation from our omniscient Creator.

    Recently, one of our associates sat down with a highly respected world-class Hebrew scholar and asked him this question: 'If you started with the Bible alone, without considering any outside influences whatsoever, could you ever come up with millions or billions of years of history for the Earth and universe?' The answer from this scholar? 'Absolutely not!'
