  1. Re:Censorship as a concept has no purpose on Stupid Censorship, Stupid Security · · Score: 1

    One is considered black magic, the other is a miracle. Get it straight.

    There is a difference between being God and performing miracles and being a human and calling upon an evil spirit to do the "miracles" for you.

    Do I have to say the difference?

    They have been making Linux versions since late 4.x series I believe. I know I had Opera 5.02 for Linux so it's not just the 7.x series that has had a Linux port available for it.

    They know it is dust from another solar system the same as they know evolution is the reason there is life on earth, that reason being it's the only thing the scientists want to believe and thus it MUST BE TRUE. To a scientist something is true until it's proven false. Unfortunately that logic doesn't always work but try telling that to a scientist.

  10. not a bad thing if you think about it on Dealing with Employers Who Perform Credit Checks? · · Score: 0

    Look at the situation from this point of view. I had to have a basic background check working for a gov't contractor. After that was done with I was able to start working (would have been able to work while the basic check was being performed but b/c of 9/11 they make you wait). Now in order to do everything I do now while I'm waiting a full background is performed. Until that time I do everything as normal. That part doesn't quite make sense I know but it's true.

    Anyway, they do all this to protect your fellow employees and the company, and in my case ,the gov't, since I'm working in gov't buildings. You have to have a basic credit check done because they need to know whether or not you have had any excessive amount of debts paid off very quickly. Now a guy that started work just 2 weeks before me sold his house because he relocated for this job. He got a big fat check for selling his house. Now when something like that pops up in the check it will be investigated but of course they will find out it's perfectly fine. But if someone has multiple 5 digit loans paid off in sucession but aren't that well off to afford it it's going to raise a flag. First thing that would come to mind is the person deals with drugs, maybe he gambles, or maybe she is an escort. You do not want people who break the law working for you necessarily, especially when your company handles sensitive information.

    You can't take the chance in trusting them with your IP or with your finances. I got a chance to have an interview with the person investigating me to set anything straight that I thought might give them the wrong impression just reading information from the form I filled out. If you have any problems I'm sure your company will give you a chance to explain anything. If not, then you have a right to complain. But they also have a right to only hire you if they trust you with their property. If you haven't done anything wrong then there shouldn't be any reason to complain because they are only protecting themselves and they have that right.

    I have no reason to think they or us would look any different in the next 500 million years than they have in the past because they haven't changed since they were created by God way back when. A lot of these question lately would be answered if you people would actually believe in something other than evolution. I know that will happen when hell freezes over...oh wait, you probably don't believe in hell either.

  13. Re:Games don't kill people... on GTA and Rating of Video Games · · Score: 0

    Games arn't the reason either.

    If games don't kill people then why is there a such thing as a marketing firm? Commercials are always trying to get us to buy something. We have commercials on TV and radio, billboards, commercials at the movie theater, etc. Sure they pay for the content to be delivered to us but they also want us to buy their products and they do so in deceiving ways as well in order for them to make money. They do that with marketing firms. They prey on our weaknesses, the younger or older you are the better (phone schemes for the elderly anyone?, kids playing cowboys and indians after watching cowboy westerns on TV?) Don't pretend we aren't affected by media in a bad way because everyone knows we are already affected in a good way. (if you want to call it that, at least it isn't killing someone)

  14. Re:Moon on Habitable Planets May Be Common · · Score: 0

    Even after explaining things like "only because of the moon..." or "if we were slightly closer to the sun..." people still want to think that we are all an accident. Why are all the planets in the same plane (excluding the weird orbit of Pluto)? What if the Earth had no axis tilt (no seasonal changes)? What if we were closer to the sun just by a few hundred miles? What if we were farther? What if the sun was bigger or smaller than it is? Why do we have other planet surrounding us that are bigger than us (to protect from large asteroids)?

    Everyone thinks these things are all coincidence and yet if they weren't the way they are we would not be living here now. No one understands how perfect this universe is- too perfect for accidental existence. Those environmental conditions were put in place the same way we were put on this planet and it wasn't by any evolutionary unproven theory either.

  20. Re:God? on NASA Wasting Time and Money on Moon Landing Doubters · · Score: 0

    Actually I beleive the moon landing actually happened AND I believe in the Creation. Just because you are an asshole and don't believe in it doesn't mean it didn't happen. God didn't have to let evolution create us. He did it himself. It's as simple as that.

    I'd much rather have the money spent on getting evolution out of the school systems and if neither theory (evolution or creation) gets put back in then so be it. At least that would be the fairest thing to do, IF you must say that there is a separation of church and state in the first place (if there is it only applies to new laws like the amendment says).

    I think evolutionists like yourself are bigoted, faithless, hopeless souls who have no idea what's in store for them when they finally figure out they were wrong. Evolution is too stupid to figure out how to make a complex human being from scratch and keep the human growing effortlessly throughout its lifetime.

    I doubt evolution could react to a change in the environment as fast as one generation

    I doubt evolution could react to a change either considering to react to a stimulus you have to have a central nervous system and a brain, and since evolution has neither it has no way of reacting to changes in an environment in order to make DNA changes in an animal or human being. Therefore saying evolution is real is incorrect.

    Porn on the Internet has improved our country and our government a great deal, because I measure how good a country is not by how well it protects the majority, but how well it protects the minority.
