Darwin never had any scientific evidence, he was just guessing.
The only evidence that evolution exsists, is the fact that every human is slightly diffrent.
Some of the young people today, are mentally and physically superior than their parents but most arent.
Evolution however right now is still a mystery because we dont know WHY things evolve, its not like genetics where we can map out why everything does what it does and what causes it, Evolution seems random but its not. What controls it is the question.
Evolution is from cause and effect, Evolution is the effect, whatd the cause? Mutation doesnt seem likely, Humans evolve at a much faster rate than say Monkeys, Bears, Apes, and other mammals, why?
IF you look throughout the last 10,000 years we have evolved alot scientificially, we havent evolved at all emotionally, or socially, which is why we still have wars, and do stupid shit.
Perhaps a few people are emotionally evolved, but not the majority, people who are "Evolved" in such a way are considered pacifists by the majority.
But in reality, this is a feature, a specific evolutionary feature which evolved to get us to stop having wars and killing each other off.
Physically people evolved to be taller, and bigger, is it the food? What causes this? Why is a bear so big? why are some animals so small?
To solve the problem of evolution you need more than a bunch of theories(guesses) and littles bits and peices of evidence.
As far as me being pro life, I think of it this way, would I want to be aborted? No, I'm glad to get a chance to live, so why take that chance away from someone else? And yes a baby even if its still in the womb, is alive, and no its not part of the mother, its a seperate lifeform INSIDE of the mother.
To be scientific, being part of something requires that it has the same DNA, babies have half the mother and fathers DNA.
Its like you getting a lung transplant then claiming it was always your lung.
The right to decide if something lives or dies is a right which causes harm to others, so i dont agree with it, its no diffrent than capital punishment, even if these people have no one in the world who cares if they live or die, this doesnt mean anyone should be able to decide for them.
No one has to change anything. Democracy allows FUZZY logic.
This means you can be 60% secure and 40% private, you can bee 90% private and 10% secure.
Privacy will ALWAYS exsist due to the constitution, what we are debating here is, through democracy should the people be able to decide how much of each they want?
Who the hell are you to decide for people
"100 percent privacy and 0 percent security!"
The constitution does not say this, if you know anything about anything you know there are no absolutes, you know nothing is 100 percent anything, if you want to have alot of privacy, then you sacrafice alot of secutiy
Democracy allows us to on a state by state basis decide how much privacy and security we want,
If you dont believe in democracy, and are an absolute follower of the constitution, I suppose you also believe in slavery, minorities cant vote, neither can women
Please give me a break!
Through Democracy we DECIDE how much we want to follow the constitution.
The constitution is to protect rights not take rights away, when you quote the constitution and then say we cant decide how much we wish to follow it, you are taking the one right the US has that afganastan and places like that dont have
The right to VOTE, Democracy, to decide the VALUE of every word on the constitution, some are more valueable than others, some are just morally wrong,
Democracy allows us as a society, in a state by state basis to decide how we want to live. Not all of us want to live as absolutists like you who follow the constitution and bow before the confederate flag
Theres nothing wrong with following the constitution, privacy IS important, but you have no right to tell ME, or anyone else in MY state how important privacy is, some of us may think security is more important and perhaps we dont want to die just so we can have extended privacy.
Let us decide. Be fair. Just like we allow you to decide to live somewhere else if dont like the security in a certain state.
Do you know what steriods are? They are hormones, they genetically improve you,
Does a naturally big guy have to lift to gget big? hell no, its genes.
Steriods modifies this. By having more testosterone, your muscles grow on their own.
Usually muscles only grow after weight lifting because thats when testosterone spikes, also they grow when you are sleeping, steriods is a way of giving your body that illegal testosterone spike eso they grow all the time practically.
To speed up recovery you dont need steriods, its called whey protien with glutamine, mixed with high carbs right after training.
IF you take your suppliments (high quality suppliments) or eat right, you never get sore and recover in a day or so.
Diets are for overweight people (meaning gover 300lbs) who can barely walk, who lack patience and want to lose 100lbs in a week.
What they dont realize is that 100lbs they lose in a week is 100lbs of muscle, so they end up looking like a smaller blimp instead of a big one.
Aerobics dont make you burn more fat, Richard simmons is an out of shape guy trying to tell people how to get in shape, I suppose someone whose 400lbs thinks hes in shape and will try his diet.
But when you look at atheletes, body builders, etc, these are the real people who are in shape and the first rule to getting in shape is to never diet.
Alot of them do modify their eating habit but consistancy is what works, not starvation diets.
Example, of a diet, this diet you eat every day for the rest of your life
Toast, Peanut butter (early morning when you first wake up)
Oatmeal + Fruit (Breakfast time)
Tuna, Toast, (Lunch)
Noodles, Chunks of chicken or Turkey (Right before training, or use suppliment)
Fish Sandwitch, Orange Juice (After Trainingg or use Suppliment)
This is what bodybuilders and atheletes eat, the meats are interchangeable depending on the sport, the grains also are interchangeable depending on the sport.
Track stars need more starches like noodles and rice, and football players need more high protien high fat foods like beef, but for someone whos neither and just wants to eat healthy, you should eat skinless chicken, turkey, and fish, no beef or pork ever, one thing all atheletes avoid is sugar, if you need something sweet, eat fruit, but no athelete eats sugar.
When training its best to eat the biggest meal right after training, and a somewhat big meal early in the morning.
Thats the formula to getting ripped, just eat the exact same thing every single day, and train 2-3 times a week via weight lifting, You'll get in shape. IF you get hungry in the middle of the night and need a snack, eat toast and peanut butter, do not eat a snack like candy, do not eat a wholee meal, all you need body wise is protein carbos and fat, no sugar.
Yes fat, because if you eat no fat your body forgets how to burn it and your metabolism slows.
what these people never look into is the long term side effects.
Steriods if you take it long enough raises estrogen levels and when you stop taking it, your body turns to shit, literally.
Theres a few legal steriods like andro on the market, but i wouldnt take any of that crap.
Look, the best way to excercise, get yourself a membership to golds gym, buy some whey protien with brain chain amino acids from GNC, and lift weights 2-3 times a week.
Thats all, its not hard, Lift on the weekends if you work long difficult hours.
If you want to get ripped, Dont eat any sugars or junk foods, and spread your meals out, eat many small meals instead of big meals with your biggest meal for breakfast.
The only time i'd recommend dangerous pills like this or steriods is for people who are over 300-400lbs, usually these people have some kinda genetic disorder where they CANT burn fat.
Alot of these people excercise more than I do, so I'm thinking maybe genetics plays a role
Dont modify your genes unless you know for a fact its your genes thats the problem, steriods modify your genes, this medicine may not, but it could still fuck you up.
Eventually we will have a pill which can raise your metabolism, I say dont use pills unless the old fashioned method of training harder fails to work.
theres a way around everything but what computer is powerful enough to generate valid DNA that an average criminal can afford? Million dollar super computer? DNA is extremely complicated and almost impossible to forge. Finger prints are difficult also, and same with retina, by putting more than one peice off info on a chip, it makes it harder to crack if not impossible
As far as abortion goes, I'm pro life I dont believe in treating life like material or something you own and aborting it when you dont want it. Its selfish.
As for my opinion on evolution, evolution is not proven, but what is proven is that our cells do mutate, we havent figured out why they mutate and what causes it to mutate in useful ways, and theres really no such thing as random.
People have a right to their beliefs, I only disagree with beliefs which cause harm to someone else, Abortion, Guns, etc arent exactly harmless beliefs, people die over it
Same with capital punishment which i disagree with;
Hows a terrorist going to get your DNA? your retina scan info, your birth mother and fathers name, finger print, social security number, bank account, employer, and credit card + medical info.
All of this could be stored on a card via a chip. IT would be too expensive for terrorists to afford to forge cards on a mass scale. I'm talking hundreds of thousands each card, and if its good enough maybe even millions.
I dont consider violence an instinct, instincts assume 100 percent of all humans have it, like the ability of a baby to suck his mothers nipple, or crawl, or walk, thats instinct. Crying is instinct.
Rage, Violence, and being a Control freak is not instinct.
However I admit a large part of the population has this disorder, hate is also a disorder and a large portion of the population has that problem too.
just becsause its popular doesnt make it morally right,
The founders of the USA, they were total hypocrites, both good and evil at the same time. They founded USA for freedom, then took freedom from others in Africa, Native Americans, Mexicans, these people werent even considered HUMAN.
Lets not forget the burning of witches, wasnt this land started because some slaves and criminals from Europe who didnt follow the normal religion were exiled to the USA, or decided to go in some cases.
Gun laws are also hypocritical, gun lovers claim they need guns to defend themselves from criminals who have guns, self defense, etc etc, however 99 percent of the time, guns are used for killing, kids shooting up schools, thugs robbing people, hell guns even help terrorism.
Self defense is not a valid claim, hunting can be a valid claim but really why do need a machine gun to hunt with? or a 22, or a 357, etc
The real reason guns are sold, are to give law enforcements a job.
If there were no guns, there would be alot less crime, sure there would still be crime, but it would be mafia hitman type crime, not random kids shooting each other, or people getting robbed in the inner city at gunpoint
Kids and inner city thugs are GIVEN guns, usually by the mafia and others who buy them in the south at gunshows, its a whole market.
But I'm not going to argue about gun control, I dont see a point to guns and if we do sell guns it should be strict in all areas, the only people who should be able to buy guns are licensed hunters. But no, you can buy a gun at walmart in some places.
why do we need civilians using guns anyhow? stun guns and tasers should be the only legal self defense, i mean swords are illegal but you can have a gun for self defense?!
Surviellance in certain Zones in the city should be allowed, hell Surviallance based on civilian request should be allowed.
Meaning if you live in an area of high crime, or you live in new york, you can request this security.
When you mention security vs freedom, you forget to mention democracy!
People should choose how much security they want, where they want it, and how much freedom they want and where.
But the fact is, we need more security if we are to survival PERIOD, as far as freedom, we need freedom, but its a matter of where this freedom should be, not a matter of destroying freedom in exchange for security.
Alot of people in the south, or outside of big cities dont like, need or want surviellance, they dont want security, they have shotguns and will defend themselves to protect their freedom.
But ask someone from new york city what they want, see what THEY say, or ask someone living in harlem or south central LA what they want, and see what they say.
I think, what we need honestly, is high security in certain cities, or certain parts of cities which are high risk.
New york should be completely locked down, especially the economic sectors. The economic sectors of LA must be locked down, the inner cities must be locked down.
Its simple, when you want to work in new york, or live in new york city, you deal with the extra security.
This is fair, because the people in new york and other big cities have to worry about terrorism, and crime all the time. It should be a vote, new yorkers should use their tax dollars to pay for the security if they vote for more security. I do not believe we should federalize security.
The situation here seems like one state introducing more security, perhaps the people who live there wanted this? Perhaps they dont want to have to deal with a 911 situation.
If I were in new york, or washington i'd be scared and i'd definately want a national ID card, the fact that I do live in a city means I wouldnt mind a national ID card and surviellance.
Security = Survival, Freedom = Enhanced Survival but you cannot have Freedom without Security to protect that Freedom and you cannot have survival without Security to ensure your survival.
So Lets do it by a state by state basis, if a state is too secure for your liking and you dont feel you have enough freedom, move somewhere else.
Think about it in the way of a democracy, lets allow the people in their seperate states decide what they want.
I'd like to see someone from New York near the trade towers claiming they dont like security, so far i see a bunch of slashdotters who most likely dont live in Washington, or NewYork.
Drivers licenses arent meant to be ID, but we need some incentive to make everyone get ID.
I actually support a national ID card, terrorists wouldnt be able to get the card, and it would be easier to hunt them down.
Also we wouldnt have illegal immagrants in our country working illegally, robbing people, starting organized crime, and other bad stuff because it would be very easy to track them
The guy who never has his ID card, gets questioned, police arrive, ask for his fingerprint and other information and check their database, if hes not in it, he gets deported
Isnt that why people buy houses and own land? Build yourself a gate and you'll have privacy.
But why do idiots demand privacy in public places? How else can you stop terrorists, drug dealers, and other criminals if you dont have law enforcenment which keeps up with the technology the criminals have?
I mean if criminals use cellphones and computers, shouldnt our government be able to track everyone by their cellphone? shouldnt stuff like carnivore exsist?
I dont mind it exsisting.
The way i see it, the only way to control crime, is to have good law enforcement, and the only way to have good law enforcement is survailance.
Think of it this way, 911 wouldnt have happened if we had better security, right now we have next to none because everyone wants their privacy at the superbowl, or the movie theather, or on a highway on route 46.
Honestly, survival comes first, unless we want to end up like isreal with suicide bombers bombing people on their way to work, I think we need to build some kinda security.
Hell I dont think we have anywhere near what we should have, We should have elaberate bomb shelters, we should have cameras in all of the subways and places where alot of people will be, and we should use facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, etc etc
Codeweavers is responsiblefor Wine switching to GPL, this is good and bad.
Codeweavers is pretty much against Lindows and Transgaming, the whole "release the code" thing, codeweavers is trying to bully Lindows in the same way they bullied transgaming in the past.
Transgaming released some of the code, but code weavers wants all of the code released most likely so they can use it in their product.
Anyhow, theres more to this than just "release the code", if you look at the wine mailinng lists you can see the fighting between code weavers, lindows and transgaming.
You cannot make an error, its case sensetive, etc etc
Commandline is faster for commands you only run once in a great while likee installing or configuring something
but when you have to type the same commands over and over you will make typos and you'll be pissed when bash doesnt understand
Its much faster to click a button than type
licq -chat -msgusr 2302032 -msg hello how are you -spellcheck -sendmsg
Please, if you think thats easier than just clicking their icon, typingg the msg, and hitting enter, i guess you must have quick fingers and you never once make a typo.
Lindows will introduce millions of people to open source like they did with mp3s, and i think they can make a business if like with mp3s open source takes off and becomes mainstream, mp3.com made money off free mp3s!

Hm maybe you should have thought about that before voting for bush and asking for task cuts.
Tax cuts dont help them secure the country, securing the country costs money and requires more government.

why fear being tracked? sure theres corrupt law enforcement but most arent.
I dont mind being tracked if it will keep the USA from turning into another isreal.
When things get so bad you cant walk out your house anymore, you'll be wishing there was surviellance.

Codeweavers is pretty much against Lindows and Transgaming, the whole "release the code" thing, codeweavers is trying to bully Lindows in the same way they bullied transgaming in the past.
Transgaming released some of the code, but code weavers wants all of the code released most likely so they can use it in their product.
Anyhow, theres more to this than just "release the code", if you look at the wine mailinng lists you can see the fighting between code weavers, lindows and transgaming.
Well then, why dont you email this idea to mandrake, lindows and others
You cannot make an error, its case sensetive, etc etc
Commandline is faster for commands you only run once in a great while likee installing or configuring something
but when you have to type the same commands over and over you will make typos and you'll be pissed when bash doesnt understand
Its much faster to click a button than type
licq -chat -msgusr 2302032 -msg hello how are you -spellcheck -sendmsg
Please, if you think thats easier than just clicking their icon, typingg the msg, and hitting enter, i guess you must have quick fingers and you never once make a typo.
Gimp and Photoshop are the same thing to a guy who makes graphics in his spare time or for his homepage.

I dont know the diffrence between gimp and photoshop, they bboth do the same thing in my mind.
Why use WIN modems when you can use GNUmodem?

They pay money for photoshop or steal it
Lindows will introduce millions of people to open source like they did with mp3s, and i think they can make a business if like with mp3s open source takes off and becomes mainstream, mp3.com made money off free mp3s!
