    YOu are responsible for appropriate due diligence. A grandma whose WEP is compromised and is TOSed for kiddie porn is going to be held to a lower standard of diligence than a network admin. If she says I didn't do it and I didn't know my network was vulnerable they will likely cut off her service and say(politely and not in these words) I'm sorry ma'am but you are too old and stupid to be on the interweb.

    A network admin who is running a wide open WEP is going to have to explain WTF he was thinking when he didn't lock his WEP down.

    Just like Joe schmuck who gets in a barfight and accidentally breaks someones neck will be held to a different standard from Joe Judo. Both will have murder charges but Joe Schuck will likely be facing murder 3 and joe judo will be looking at murder 1.

    there are degrees of negligence. You may not have been criminally negligent, but you were careless and that is all the insurance company needs.

    Ok, counter-point to observation regarding stars. speed of light is demonstrably slowing down ... Ergo it was faster at some point in history. So it is POSSIBLE that it approached infinity at some point in time. So the universe COULD be a few thousands of years old.

    I have less of a problem historically and politically with plural marriage than with Gay marriage. Since plural marriage provides for "spice" and the protection and raising of children.

    As a Xtian I have moral problems with both as sanctioning that which is either sinful and/or divisive, but something can be legal and sinful or illegal and not sinful. So I try to balance that which is profitable politically and that which is spiritually right. and just because something should be legal doesn't mean I will or should do it, but simply it should not be forbidden.

    For example Genesis says that all green herbs are "good for food" cannibis, and coca are green herbs. Make the connection. Many Xtians won't.. I will. BUT just because they are "good for food" doesn't mean I have a divine mandate to consume them. It means that to use/eat them is not sin, but it is criminal and thusly to use them would make my light shine a little dimmer so I don't.

    No I'm an adherent of national sovereignty. Simple theory really. I'm also a states rights advocate.

    Thats the history of the world. a minority going against the rest. Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, England, US...

    It's about progress. If two sovereign nations have a problem or a disagreement, first they talk, then they make alliances, then they war. As it was in the past so on into the future.

    Ok, Jack Chick is certifiably loonie.

    As a representative of Xtianity he falls down. He lies, plagiarises, and makes stuff up.

    If he were to die a horrible death and all his tracts were to spontaneously combust the world would be a better place for everyone, and Christians would be able to better discuss and debate the existance of GOD.

    Many Christian seminaries are unacredited, Many are acredited. They have their reasons. Some are acredited by groups that are not nationally recognized

    but one thing they are not are diploma mills.

    Well a previous poster posted a survey of scientists showing a high percentage of atheists so I'll go with you on that

    what was interesting was that only a very small percentage(15-17%) were agnostic
    indicating that scientists tend towards either belief or knowing as opposed to indifference or agnorance.
