I know I did. Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Atheists, Hindoos, Buddists, Voodoo-ers in Africa and Haiti, all of them are immoral. One only need to look at their lifestyles to see that. Their countries are generally poorer than the Christian countries, and that's because of their low standards and morality.
I thought you were joking, but PETA and the liberals really are more interested in protecting roaches than people.
The two mythbusters guys are atheists I heard, which would more than explain their misplaced immoral priorities. Without Jesus, there is no morality. Without morality, you do stupid things like protect roaches.
I pay for my highways when I fill up my Jaguar. And we should have more toll roads too, BTW. The people not paying for the roads aren't the rich like me, they are the poor who literally get a free ride.
I'm looking outside right now. It looks fine. I'm breathing the air, and it's fine. The trees are fine, the sunshine is fine, the weather is mild and comfortable.
All I see is you making a case to raise my taxes. I'm going to stop you from spoiling this beautiful day.
You are confused. Liberals are people who will spend all the money in other people's pockets to save animals and trees. Who cares about some stupid white bears that live where it's too cold for people anyways? It's not worth wrecking our economy over, which shows just how much I care about the bears and trees.
Conservatives are people who step back and observe the situation before they announce "NO, I'm not going to sacrifice all the gains of the 20th century just because someone who needs a bath and some life experience says the ice is melting."
Now run along before you get run over by a hummer.
I'm surprised you liberal wackjobs haven't tried to deny the existence of the pentagon. I can imagine it now:
"They say an airplane hit the Pentagon. What Pentagon? It didn't even exist! How can an airplane hit a nonexistent building? It's a conspiracy to start a war. Plus, the fact that there was no building had to be covered up, so if you go there now, there's a brand new building. They even named it the Pentagon. It's a damned sneaky way for the military to build a brand new headquarters AND start a war at the same time. Vote for Ron Paul."
I'm getting sick of all this conspiracy crap myself.
Not to mention just plain lying. The melting the arctic ice is completely natural, and snowfall and temperatures are plummeting in lots of places. First the popular myth was global cooling, but global warming won out because it's better for the liberal agenda.
Global warming is 100% politically driven, and the hype has to be stopped. The Nobel committee is now handing out prizes to liars. What next? A dog wins the prize?
Oh come on, how hard can it be? We can track millions of computer packets on an Ethernet hub but we can't keep two planes from crashing into each other? Unpossible!
(ok, let's see how many people tell me how Ethernet works. Trust me, somebody's going to miss the point and tell me how Ethernet works. Even after I said they'd do it.)
I'm surprised that the price is still at 5 cents, even with Chinese production. They're very clever at getting the price down on everything, and when I used Chinese factories the price reductions were small and continual. If the price is stuck, maybe there needs to be some competition on the production side of things. That might indicate an opening that another market player could take advantage of. Anyways, I predict that the price will eventually start dropping again when the market corrects.
Actually, you're agreeing with me. You might think you disagree, but you're agreeing. Go back and check, and you'll see that nothing I wrote excludes anything you wrote. I didn't write it because I can't be bothered to reproduce books that Chalmers and others already have written. Next time, you can save a lot of typing and just presume that I understand scientific philosophy, because I do. And clearly you do to, so we can communicate in shorthand.
I think that's a bunch of nonsense. It's a good hypothesis, but where are you getting the idea that intracranial pressure was the reason they drilled holes? And how are demons in your skull any kind of valid analogy for high intracranial pressure.
I NEVER said disregard the ancients. If you think I said that, then reconsider everything before you write back. What I am saying is that you cannot ascribe any kind of scientific motivation to their actions. Science didn't exist at that time.
If the modern scientific framework had existed in his time, his incorrect ideas could have been caught and purged from medical practise, but a lot of his research and experiments would still have been very important in progressing medical knowledge.
THANK YOU. I have been trying to say exactly that. Without science, you don't know. You're just guessing. You can't discard bad ideas, because you have no framework to judge them.
But what evidence do we have that the ancient trepanation was done to treat subdural hematomas? None, so I'm not wrong. These ancients were just guessing, and you're presuming too much.
There's no difference between letting demons out of skulls and what Hippocrates, Galen, Celsus and the Muslims were doing.
All of them were born before scientific medicine was invented, so they had no idea that what they were doing was correct. They also had no idea how to show that what they were doing was correct.
They might have accidentally discovered some interesting things, but without the scientific framework to understand and build upon what they discovered (scientific medicine) they weren't really doing anything different than guessing and shooting in the dark. Like a witch doctor.
Maybe the difficulty of drilling holes into people's heads and having a few percent of them live is greatly overestimated.
Maybe drilling hole into people's heads is about as useful as calling a witch doctor to perform magical healing rituals. I am personally NOT impressed by trepanation, unless it's a competent modern surgeon who performs it as the first step of a REAL medical procedure.
Skype only really works for me to call other Skype users. I tried to use Skype as a regular phone, but dropped the account when it failed miserably. I had two problems:
I can't call the IBM pukes that I have working for me. That's because Skype doesn't allow Skype-out service to some area codes, and that includes the IBM conference calling center in Missouri.
And, the Skype client doesn't support DTMF tones properly. That pretty much eliminates Skype for everything except calling your mistress on her home phone. You can't get through any kind of voicemail or call answering touch tone menu without DTMF support.
This is an outrage, I tell you! It cannot stand. And since the site's down, you're just going to have to take my word for it how awful it is. It's terrible, I tell you.

Your sarchasm detector is obviously as broken as your morality.
I'm serious.

Nice taunt. Child.
Bah, another lib who doesn't have a brain.

I fail to see why I have to pay for you to live somewhere nice.
Get a job, get a life, get a house in a nice place, and quit trying to make me pay for your immorality, sloth, grunge, and whining.

Without the explanation some moron would point out that Ethernet has all kinds of collisions. I'd rather nobody laughed than nobody understood.

That particular problem can be solved by defining time as a big rubber band that *doesn't* break. Simple.

Arguably, it's more about throwing out what doesn't work than finding out what works or what's correct.
I think that's a bunch of nonsense. It's a good hypothesis, but where are you getting the idea that intracranial pressure was the reason they drilled holes? And how are demons in your skull any kind of valid analogy for high intracranial pressure.

You can't download the virii from a video, because the virii are entirely fictional. It's viruses, dang it.
