I still can't get one to say they're sorry for the painful, premature demise of the countless earthworms that are tilled to death so that vegans can have their Thanksgiving Tofurkey.
To say nothing of the countless billions of innocent Soybean plants that are murdered each year in the name of veganism.
The job market pendulum has swung back to the side favoring employers since 2001 or so with hundreds of applications being thown at every single position.
Your theory doesn't seem to account for the recent record-low levels of unemployment. High-skill tech jobs have always gone unfilled.
Let me be the first to make the obligatory comment about how that sound you just heard was a joke flying over your head.
Let me be the first to inform you that I did get the joke, which is why I said "Yes, but" instead of "No, you're wrong". I was changing the subject from a joke to a slightly more literally serious discussion of evolution. Perhaps I should have emphasized the word "first".
Evolution is just another religion that, like all religion,
Evolution is science. Religion is religion. Science is rationality. Religion is absolute belief without evidence. Science is conditional belief in tons of empirical evidence and peer-reviewed repeatable experimentation. Religion is substituting "I don't know" with "God did it". Religion is a cop-out. Don't insult rationality by equating it to fantasy.
Right, because intelligent people are never wrong. Only people of faith are wrong.
Clearly that's a straw man. I would claim that it is only people who claim that they are never wrong who are wrong. And guess what people of faith claim about their articles of absolute faith: that they are never wrong. Absolute faith is a vacuum of intelligence.
The best philosophers in history have argued for and against first cause. I'm a mental midget compared to some of these guys.
I think that history's great thinkers might reach different conclusions if they knew what science knows today. Aristotle, for instance, was provably wrong about lots of things.
Everything we humans make from Airplanes to Zeppelins requires thought and planning. Evolutionists believe that this thinking process was not needed in the case of life.
The makers of Airplanes and Zeppelins are usually on a tighter schedule than evolution is.
Faith and intelligence are in no way mutually exclusive.
They are on the specific articles of absolute faith. How can two Christians have differing articles of absolute faith unless at least one of them is wrong?
Their whole concept of bringing products to market is date/deadline driven rather than quality or product driven, much less consumer driven.
Getting crappy products on the shelf quickly is the very definition of "consumer driven". If consumers wanted to wait for better products, they would. But, they don't.

Numerous experts have said there's no practical or safe way to make a bomb from separate liquids onboard an airplane. Google for it, you'll be amazed how vaccuus the allegation from London police is.
This plot has been carried out before. There was a discovery program about it; I wish I could remember the details. A guy brought explosive components separately onto a plain flying to/from somewhere like Bangkok and assembled a bomb from his digital watch and liquid in a contact-lens-solution bottle. He planted the bomb under his seat and set it to explode during the next flight of the plane. The explosion killed the guy who was later sitting in the seat but failed to bring down the plane because there was some lucky alteration to the plane that protected the main fuel tanks from the blast. This was a trial run. The guy, an Islamic terrorist, was arrested some time later because he set his apartment on fire while making more explosives.
Don't doubt for a second that if Iran had the power to do so it would.
Don't doubt that Iran will have the power to do that in a few years and they will begin conquering their neighbours shortly thereafter. And the civilized world will be able to do nothing about it but send Iran polite letters asking it to stop. Which it won't.
The main problem with Bush is that he decided to invade the wrong country.

Seems like a pretty odd definition; why would anyone use it? What if we define chickens as animals that normally of launch monkeys out of their butts?

Yes, but, the father of the first "chicken" wasn't quite technically a chicken. And neither was the mother.
But I'll be rooting for them.
Duh. I knew this last year.
Yeah, it's a good thing that Autocracy doesn't favor unscrupulous people; the world would be very messed up if it did.
We need a 20-year environmental-impact study before we can allow this project to go ahead.
What about the climate effects of sucking that much energy out of the wind?
Actual power isn't quite as snappy in the brochure.
I'm confused. What is that in megaelephant square football field lengths per cubic femto-femto universe ages?

I have a suggestion for an opening tagline on one of the new episodes:
"Now with 20% more synergy!"
Anyone else have a suggestion?
More specifically.
Here it is. I hope the people who are doing this stuff aren't interrupting the people who are saying that it's impossible.

You require a nation of humans to vote against their own immediate selfish interests. Good luck with that.
