We can't blame Bush alone. Yes he is the President, but he is not in complete power. He leads the executive. The Legislative, and Judicial still have to approve of this "Martial Law" thing before it passes.
PFFT. I never had a problem with Loading screens in HL2. I think your box just sucks. my teh 1337 b0x0rz ran HL2 with out a problem. Plus the game Rocked in General.
Well, I think in general, there is something sacred about sex. The violence, people say " Oh gross" or "That's terrible" But the sex, people think "OMG HOW DARE YOU!"
There is a difference between Sin and Transgression.
And if God didn't hold us accountable, and along with that, give us a chance to get in trouble, for our own sins/mistakes, we wouldn't learn. God Intended for Adam and Eve to take of the Fruit. It was a lesson, the needed to know what it was to be in trouble, and to know what they are missing. It was Transgression from Children with no knowledge to Adults.
God will not hold you accountable for any sins that you did not commit. God will not hold you accountable for never having the Oppurtunity to obtain Knowledge. If you have heard otherwise, it was false. That's not freewill.
Ok you take your Hammer, and find out how it all got there.
Because you don't give a hoot, your Arguments cannot be taken seriously, because you obviously will not consider what your Oposite force says.
maybe they are 200 million years old. Maybe the Bible was misinterpreted\incomplete.
Maybe it all boils down to NIETHER Side having the answers. Whether one side is more logical than the other or not, there is going to be opposition to everything. We can keep proving each other wrong, but you could never convince a Christian if the Christian doesn't want to try to understand. And I could never convince an Athiest if he doesn't want to believe.
Either Side needs faith in their own Believes.
You are wrong. One of the things learned as a child was that I had the choice, and I make the choice. Infact, one of the things taught in Christianity is Freewill. How could I be accountable if I was never making a choice.
I like to believe the Choices I make and the feelings I have towards something are of my OWN make-up. I am not Controlled nor Force-fed by anyone.
By you saying this, do you believe you also can't make decisions on your own?
I agree. I am Christian, and there are many ways I can tie ID to Science. But that's not what ID is. Forget proving it's real, that's what faith is for. Science is what we know, and what theorys we have. ID is for YOU, to learn and study on your own accord. Take your children to church to show them what you believe, and than let them discover their own faith. Send them to school to learn what is KNOWN and what other Possibilties there are.
If I came to you and said "Hey Pilkul! I just had this great adventure that turned my life around!" Then proceed to tell you about my adventure, would you turn yourself into me, or picture yourself in a similar situation? Enders game was a Novel, not a comparison meant for you to make for your life. Card wanted to create a world in the future, where a an ordinary boy, who just happend to be very smart, was put in a situation where his intellegence is abused by his government and he is eventually lead into commiting Xenocide. It may have ruined your Childhood, but that probably wasn't the intention. Enders Game was just a story meant to entertain. It may have had some political, maybe even philosophical views. But I doubt it was meant to say "Reader, imagine you were a genius that is tricked into Xenocide." I think it was really meant to say "Isn't this boys life interesting?".
Whoa, that is useful.
Alright, I've been Convinced. I'll give Linux a shot. Which Linux should I try, and where can I find it? I have a box sitting here just waiting to have a purpose. So I'll put Linux on it.
WHich Linux is Right for me. I'm a gamer, but not hardcore. I need ofcorse Office type Apps. And perferably a Linux that is easy to learn. Oh, and a list of what kinds of Files will work with Linux (Ie. Do MP3s work? WHat kind of Compression apps does Linux use?)
I am a Complete n00b to Linux. Get me Started.
I don't know about that, but it does make sence.
If you made a product, and people put money in for you to make that product, and wished that the product be made to their liking (Cuz they are very much helping to pay for it.) WOuldn't you make it for them?
I'm not a Shareholder. I'm not the Average User. Windows works Just fine for me.
(Once again, I haven't really touched Linux. But haven't needed to get away from windows.)
Automatic Program Downloader?
I haven't needed anything Automatically Download aside from Windows Update. Yes, it's annoying, but I do like that it's automatic, and I do see Improvements. And there has never been a Program I couldn't easily find and Install for windows. Infact, I haven't really spent any money on much of the programs I have. You're Right that it does what windows does, and that I haven't een anything that windows Doesn't. But I haven't needed anything different either.
WHoa, you took that the wrong way. By Everything, I do mean everything poeple do in windows today. There is nothing that I need done that I can't do on my windows Machine.
Yes, I agree windows can be frustrating. Like when you need to defrag, But you on't have enough space to run the Defrag. So you find the Fragments yourself, but the Biggest one is in a file that you are not aloud in because the average user could screw things up in there.
But I've worked my around most of the Frustrations I have with Windows. And it works for me....After a fashion.
I didn't say this couldn't be done. I just never needed to use Linux to do anything that I couldn't do on windows. If Linux is your Choice of OS, More power to you. I'm not taking sides on either OS.
The upgrade thing is annoying, but you can turn it off. But yes, Microsoft creates Software because they assume that the User will not know better than them. But the thing is, sometimes they do know better than the user. Where as, Linux is created by the ones that know that there are other tech savy guys out there. But really, I haven't found a reason to use Linux, niether have alot of my buddys, because most of the problems with Windows can be "Fixed". Or you can found a route around it. But yes, you are Dead right aswell. I guess OS really comes down to Prefrence.
Slashdot Mirror
Works in IE7....I may get laughed at, but when I read the article I got nervous and tried it, of course it worked....of course it's fire fox... o.o

That really SOX.. I couldn't helpmyself.

No, you have a good point. But I am not a ranting Bigot.
I like to believe the Choices I make and the feelings I have towards something are of my OWN make-up. I am not Controlled nor Force-fed by anyone. By you saying this, do you believe you also can't make decisions on your own?
You are pardoned I suppose.
That's not true. That's a Generalization. I love Science. And I think over and over it helps ID.
I agree. I am Christian, and there are many ways I can tie ID to Science. But that's not what ID is. Forget proving it's real, that's what faith is for.

w00t thank you. I found a Knoppix CD and started downloading Slackware. I had seen someone use both, But I'll try Ubuntu.
