I guess you weren't too worried about generation loss. I recorded straight to cassette back then. Even if your r2r did 7.5ips, it would add a lot of hiss.
... and be caught by the authorities, and be arrested, and sit in a Cuban pound-me-in-the-ass prison for an indefinite period before diplomacy gets you released.
Your reading comprehension is a little lacking, along with the skeptics who always bring up those passages. The first passage refers to the order of the world, not the physical state of the planet. This misconception comes from quoting out of context:
Tremble before him, all the earth! The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
Clearly, the psalm writer is not ordering the earth to quake, but the living beings to tremble. Likewise, the line you quoted refers to the fact that God has established his order and nothing can prevail against it. It's called metaphor.
Your second citation is a direct quote from King Solomon, not from God, and reflects the idioms (i.e., "mistakes") of the writer. The first line reads, "The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem." He also says that the earth will last forever, which nearly everyone agrees is not true, to give another example.
Do you correct people every time they mention the sun rising? "Excuse me, but I believe you mean, 'when the earth's rotation causes your point of reference to relocate behind its shadow." You must be fun at dinner parties.
What is wrong with your reading skills? Did I say the President was conservative? He's more conservative than McCain. I could say Hillary Clinton is more conservative than Barack Obama, but that doesn't mean I think she's conservative, does it?
No, I learned about socialism in school during the Reagan era. Socialism is socialism, socialist policies are socialist or they are not, relativism need not apply. My country of origin is not relevant, and you don't know me or you'd know I've traveled outside the USA-- not that that is relevant either. I prefer the USA. If you like those other countries better, please go there. I feel we have little to learn from most of them, except that compulsory health care is bad for health and bad for the economy; and that giving special entitlements to religions who threaten you with violence is a pretty foolish policy. Europe can continue capitulating with the murderers and have a Chamberlain "Peace in our time."
Obama supports mainly socialist policies. This makes him a socialist candidate. Disprove my assertion that compulsory health care and progressive taxes are socialist before you dismiss me because of my country of origin.
It is also not his fault that Kepler was addicted to mystical ideas (such as that the orbits of the planets fit inside a nesting of the Platonic solids),
It is his fault for not accepting Kepler's elliptical orbits, when they posed a far simpler solution to his observations of planetary motion. It is a fallacy to dismiss someone's meritorious ideas just because said person may be a little off.
I'm not usually in the position of defending the RC church, but isn't that like calling you a murderer because your great-grandfather killed someone in 1901?
They have a golden opportunity here. The Republican president has terrible approval ratings. The country in general is fed up with the current government. The Republican party doesn't even like their own candidate. All the Democrats had to do is pick a viable candidate and stroll into the white house.
The 24% approval rating of the Democratically-led Congress may have something to do with it. By the way, the President's is 32-34%.
How could liberals and libertarians share a party? Libertarians believe in minimal government, while liberals expect government to drive social change.
Doesn't anyone have any core beliefs anymore? GWB is only slightly more conservative than McCain, yet you're going to jump to a socialist candidate? Highly progressive taxes and compulsory government health care are socialist policies used to redistribute wealth.
I don't want a "decent man" in the white house... I want a competent leader. I don't want compulsory government health care, oppressive taxes, infringements on my rights to bear arms and express political or religious beliefs, or revived "New Deal" programs that didn't work the first time.

... because those are so much worse than hatred. Was your comment supposed to relevant to something in this discussion?

So the Netherlands are a "papers please" state? It's not required to carry ID in the USA.
No, because those incidents didn't happen in China.

The problem is that the last 2% is the most important 2%. A Muslim will not accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior and neither will a pagan.
Sin is just a word. Call it wrongdoing or evil-- it's still wrong. Your post says nothing, unless you really believe that everything is permissible.
Or perhaps you should refrain from making ignorant statements involving religious belief or geography altogether.

Apparently even the Catholic clergy doesn't read the bible, because it contains not a single verse that indicates the sun must orbit the earth.
That's quite a straw man, even for Slashdot. I have but one regret, that Slashdot has an upper limit on the foe list.
I think it's sad that so many people are driven by hatred.

It sure is! How could you forget about the slackers on the public dole, socialists, unemployed bloggers, limousine liberals, and racial bigots?
No, that was "The 6th Day."
