OK, I'd also say (to throw some gas on this fire) "the Iraq War is not going well for the U.S." counts as a trivial opinion which no sane person would disagree with after three years- IMHO it approaches epistemological quality.
And this is how the left "debates": by labeling their opponents as insane or stupid. Opinion has no place in reporting-- and even if it did, since when is an opinion NOT debatable? It is debatable by definition!
That being said, by what measure is the Iraq war not going well? They now have a parliamentary democracy in place, one very similar to the one originally installed by the UK and dismantled by the schemes of Saddam Hussein. They have far better schools and a better utility infrastructure than in 2002. They also have a police force that protects its citizens instead of delivering them over to Oday and Qusay to be tossed into torture chambers and plastic shredders.
I don't understand why people strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up.
Read the Qur'an. We don't need the "why do they hate us" bullshit rehashed every day. When someone kills, they are responsible for this action unless it was in self-defense against a direct violence initiated by another person. Killing someone because you don't like how they live, their government's policies or (as the Qur'an clearly teaches) their religious beliefs is unacceptable.
I don't think there's a system call in Win32 that allows a nonprivileged process to detect another process's privilege level. So your process would have to make a guess, such as assuming that anything using the MMC is running as an administrator.
Now I feel like an idiot, because when I was in grade school I thought my teachers were wasting their time turning off the lights in class during hot weather because the fluorescents were about 75% more efficient than incandescents and therefore didn't produce enough heat to matter. Turns out they were right!
Claiming that because Jesus did not condone an act, he must have condemned it, is illogical rubbish. He didn't say "thou must post uninformed comments on Slashdot" either.
Jesus never suggested that nations should (or could) act in the way that individual believers act. We have many examples of this:
"Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's; and unto God what is God's."
"There is no nation upon this earth which God himself has not established."
It is also written in Ecclesiates that "to every thing there is a season", and one of these is "a time to kill, a time to heal"-- indicating that it is right to strike in the name of defense or justice but that amends must be made in the end. Jesus confirmed this in Luke 22:36-38 by advising his followers to sell their cloaks and buy a sword. Whether you believe a war is justified or not is up to you, but to make a blanket statement that a Christian president has to be a pacifist is baseless. His job is to protect his citizens.
"Errrr..." those are translations from the original Hebrew. All Bible translations come from the original language texts. In addition, if you'll note, both of those say EXACTLY THE SAME THING.
The source material for much of Genesis goes back much further than the Bible and the Torah. Look up the Epic of Gilgamesh for instance.
It is true that Gilgamesh dates to ~2000 BCE while the Torah has only been traced to 650 BCE. However, if you're referring to the flood myth, then I'll have to trot out my higher critical analysis (the only kind accepted by the elite) and point out that the Gilgamesh tale is far more elaborate than the Genesis account. It is generally accepted that a myth (we'll call Genesis a myth for convenience) elaborates, rather than simplifies, over time. Also, the dimensions of the boat in the Genesis account indicate a seaworthy vessel while that in Gilgamesh (actually copied loosely from the Atrahasis epic) is an almost cubelike vessel which would quickly capsize.
Your post is so wrong I don't know where to begin. How about: yes, he was a theologian. You're simply ignorant and wrong. Try reading "Mere Christianity" at least. Renting "Narnia" on DVD doesn't qualify you to deconstruct C. S. Lewis.
Obviously, time doesn't cost money. If it did, you could buy more. Time is simply priceless. If girls, er, women-- really are more intelligent than men, you are not a good example.

I've been reading Slashdot for years and have yet to see any substantive claims against Fox News (or CNN or MSNBC, for that matter) from the trolls.

So you support the infringement of both the freedom of religion AND the freedom of speech?

It's still a troll, even if you put ";)" at the end.
I never did find the lamp in Voodoo Castle. Damn you, Scott Adams!
The exception that proves the rule, as they say. It's the only odd one, due to an immense marketing blunder at Nintendo.
TNG seasons 2-7 was excellent, and even season 1 had two good episodes.
I imagine that you have to consider the history of the Roman Empire to be fiction as well, since you couldn't possibly have any first-hand knowledge.
Actually, the Dead Sea Scrolls gave us texts from 250 BCE so now we know the Hebrew Bible hasn't changed in over 2,250 years.

Someone didn't learn the difference between fact and opinion in first grade.
Is that like Breakout or Super Breakout? Or Photoshop?
USians? Who are they? Is that a new term for citizens of the United States of Mexico?
Just kidding!

Pine? Hmph! It's still the ol' chisel and granite for me! Kids these days-- driving their shiny cars without a callous on their feet!
