"What part of "this is not original" to me was lost on you?"...And you want me to read your textbooks, when you can't even read my posts that your arguing against? It was pretty clear that you stated it wasn't your argument, which is why I said "..Or whoever actually wrote the argument..." However, when you present (or even re-present) an argument, it is YOUR argument.
I said evolutionsists because, for me, generally there are two sides in this never-ending debate. Evolution/Creation. So I will state it again. Some people who believe in evoltuion also subscribe to the theory that the continents were not always seperated. I didn't say it was an evolutionist theory. I never said a thing about it being biology.
By the way, no one else thought your "joke" was funny either, and calling me an idiot makes you look really smart. The verdict is still out on whether public schools have failed me.
Actually it was built by one man - and his three sons, for over a hundred years.
They were on the ark for much longer than 40 days (thats how long it rained) the waters receded for over a year. However, there were many animal types that could have already been extinct by that time. That wasn't all THAT many years ago. The dimensions of the ark were 300 x 50 x 30 cubits. None of those numbers is 40.
You should really read what your arguing against sometime. Or whoever actually wrote the argument should. Its only about 10 pages?
I find it humorous that you can pass over that there was a great flood over the whole earth without arguing it, but then argue that the animals could never have made it onto the boat. By the way, even evolutionists have a theory that the continents were not always seperated. It doesn't sound so implausible to you because they say it happened billions and billions of years ago, which somehow makes all assinine theories sound more possible.
Depending upon where you work, you could probably do that, if you were willing to lie on your timesheets.
I am not willing, so I usually waste time because I'm told to change something major, only to change it back two weeks from now when I've finished it.
sigh, Our tax dollars at work for you...
I threw together a pc with many spare parts (Duron 1.4Ghz, Onboard sound, onboard Lan, 20Gig HD) I had around, and bought a radeon video card with S-video out. It would probably cost under $150 to build.
If you wanted High Def out of it, you can buy an adapter for the newer ATI cards.
They're mcuh better quality than my replaytv records (in Mpeg2). I downloaded Lost (ABC) last night in HD with 5.1 Surround even. My Computer is the only thing in my house that could even play 5.1 sound, and its own TV-card cannot capture it.
It uses different compression, but the quality is great. I download shows all the time because they are great quality and have the commercials already removed.
Don't know if you ever worked on gov contracts before. but they get paid directly based upon the hours that their staff works (aka 3x billable hours). Even the contracts that aren't based on hours are eventually audited and future contracts are adjusted since you are "efficient". They get paid more in the long run for you to work slowly.
Yes, we told them on the phone we didn't want to fill out their survey/journal. For some reason, they went ahead and sent us the survey and $5 cash.
Halfway through the week they called to check on how the journal was going. We told them we still didn't want to fill it out, and thanked them for the cash.
I always wondered whether it was a mistake, or they just try to guilt people into filling it out by sending them money.
Yes, thats amazing what can happen when your "fan stalls", and the heatsink suddenly disappears.
Did you happen to notice that the fan wasn't ever running in ANY of those instances? I would say if you're stupid enough to remove your heatsink while your computer is running, you're too stupid to own a computer anyway.
The same thing will happen to your car by the way. Do you remove your drive-belt just for kicks sometimes too?
I don't have time to do all your research right now. If you really want to find a list of scientists so you can discredit them, go find a find the list yourself.
If you truely are looking for some good reading, google for BEHE and there are tons of researchers that reference his writing. Both for and against.
If you can't find any scientists that are pro-ID, you just aren't looking very hard.
Also, Here is the best I can do on the web at this moment (although you could do the same thing I just did using Google):
http://www.origins.org/menus/design.html -left side
also, I think wikipedia presents some of the arguments and a few authors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_ design#ID _and_Creationism (althought it admits "The neutrality of this article is disputed." Mostly against ID by the way) I thought it was worth reading anyway. You can also read the discussion on the neutrality with the link at the top if you wish to get even deeper.
I think I saw a light brite with a flourescent bulb in it now (behind a plastic cover so it doesn't explode). Its a shame how they keep making things idiot proof.
"... Thus the popularity of intelligent design, for example."
Yes, nevermind that respected scientists with amazing credentials hold the same intelligent design view. As long as its your own opinion.
"No, the point is that the rich will invest whether you give them tax cuts or not."
Were talking about the surplus money created by tax breaks here, not the money they already have. Thats not part of the equation unless you're proposing to tax them more.
"If they can make more money by investing in India, that is what they are going to do."
Its possible, but not probable. I, for one, would never invest my money in a foreign market, especially india. It's too unstable. I would invest it in local real estate, and I could expand my business if it weren't taxed as much.
It still doesn't seem just that the people paying 5-10% of the taxes should be given a taxcut while the people paying 90% are punished for making wise business decisions. some wealthy people are just wise business people, not the evil greedy people everyone wants to make them out to be. Most people really do care about local jobs and their local economy. That is the basis of trickle down economics. The wealthy AND the poor benefit.
I personally sent an email to the FCC chairs. I was asking for a huge fine.
I did not apreciate whole fiasco that was intentionally created (IMHO). Then the lies afterward ("accident") was what motivated me to write. They created the stir themselves. Don't blame the convervatives for reacting the way they were intended to. Janet was personally trying to manipulate the very attention that she got... to sell albums the next week.

"S-Video isn't the same has high-def, I have tried that setup in the past."
Which is why I said: "If you wanted High Def out of it, you can buy an adapter for the newer ATI cards."
like the one shown here: http://www.ati.com/products/hdtvadapter/
If you truly feel that way about life, why are you still living? Is it for the sole cause of "rewarding" more "LUCKY" babies?
Adoption IS an answer.
My local adoption agency:

I was wrong, its the one here:

looks like 699M in size
This one was in xvid format (mpeg4 variant?) it is 350M-ish for a 42 min episode.

Plutonium. Generally they find the most toxic substances possible to put in kids' toys. Just in case.
