TERRORIST!!! err... INSURGENT!!! Fear not people, the black SUV's will be here any moment!!::whispers:: you wouldn't mind giving your address, would you? Wait... I'll just use the RFIDs in your computer.
fly over the north pole. the world is a sphere (think ball), not a cylinder (think coke can). This is why globes should be used to teach school kids, not flat maps...
I used to work for a dodge dealer. Our average mechanic cleared 70k, the head made over 200k. He made as much as the general manager did. OTOH he was there at least 84hrs / week, had no family and wasn't all that happy. The mechanics there worked off of commission, and he was a *very* good mechanic.
Bush cannot do anything about the businesses moving jobs. It's unconstitutional for him to write, pass, and sign the law all by himself. If you want a new law, that American companies can hire only americans, write your legislature. But be careful before you do, take into account the amount of money we demand here. For them to use only american workers would drive the cost up significantly, and most americans, correction, most people, are not willing to pay that premium. So those businesses would die, crippling our economy. Look at WHY the businesses are doing it.
The war in Iraq put off *some* of our allies, but not all, and most now agree that bringing freedom to the Iraqis was a Good Thing.
Which treaties have we backed out of, and which countries are unsure of doing business with us? I missed the memo, and would like to hear more about this. I can't debate a point if I don't know the intent/purpose/information behind it.
When we didn't do enough to protect our borders pre-9/11 the Americans screamed -- "Why wasn't more done to protect us?!!" It is our government's job to keep us safe, not to make the States a tourist attraction.
Whether the FEMA director promised God would appear and divert the hurricane, or that it would just be the Red Cross cleaning up the mess, until he was *allowed* by the state government, he was not allowed by the Constitution to enter the city. The approval took almost a week. By then the damage was done. And it was less than 2 weeks before the National Guard rolled in.
960+ People who *chose to stay* died in New Orleans. The government hasn't the right under the Constitution to come kick me out of my home for my own safety. Only local governments can. And thank God for that. I don't want the Fed to come to my home and tell me, "sir, because it is possible that a tornado may hit this summer, we are going to evacuate you. No, sir, I'm afraid we do have the right under the new "American People are Too Stupid to Think Act". It is the *local* government's responsibility to evacuate. In no way are those 960 death's the Federal Government's fault.
But I agree with you on our last statement. I too think we should get rid of the Seirra Club who sued the City of New Orleans 15 years ago to keep the levy's low, when the city wanted to raise them to protect the citizens. But as for "faith based charities" over 2000 members, who don't live there, of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints have been to the Gulf Coast to help rebuild, taking vacation time from work to help rebuild. And that church alone has donated tens of millions of dollars. but you're right, we shouldn't allow anyone in a "Faith Based Charity" to donate. Please write a letter to the Mayor of New Orleans telling her I want my tithes and donations back.
It's Bush's faut jobs the companies are moving jobs to India and China? And he won't stop this, yet he's a Facist? Less than a thousand bodies have been found in New Orleans, there were no murders in the Superdome, and the STATE government of Louisiana wouldn't let FEMA in. Maybe you watched the congressional hearing in which Mr. Brown testified, but it doesn't seem like it. Letting people get screwed over by big business... that seems like a decision that people make. We could always stop buying their products... but I could be wrong. And he made us an outsider in foreign relations... which is why the UK and France sent oil and gas to us, we are involved in the peace talks with Iran and North Korea, and why Mexican troops are here on ourr shores, peacefully helping in New Orleans.
Yup, we're just a bunch of reclusive communists that refuse to nanny our citizens.
First off, love the sig. And FYI, I'm not advocating (despite popular belief) the intelligent design theory. But lets look at some of the things you said:
here is also plenty of evidence in our DNA and structure of common ancestory.
Everyone know that architects always start with a new design. They never take one that worked and based the next design off of it.
concept of a "missing link" is a dated one
Why are they teaching it in schools as truth then?
If you went to a major museum with enough resources, such as the smith, you would see a very complete fossil record though with gives more than enough solid, scientific evidence of evolution
Then why isn't it law?
And besides that, couldn't it be possible that someone, or something, guided evolution? Does it have to be an accident? Could life not have been a testbed scientific experiment to see how life itself worked? To prove evolution to their own culture? I don't believe this is an either/or situation. I don't think that, looking at the past at previous species, that man could have evolved *that fast* without something working in our favor, other than our intelligence. Wolves hunt in packs, as did we, monkeys use tools, as did we. How is it that we become so different, so fast? Humans are an anomaly in the theory of evolution. There was no *reason* for our intelligence. I hae yet to see science prove how *that fits into the thheory. If you can prove it I would be appreciative.I would give a pretty penny for that to be laid to rest. I have spent many nights wondering about this question. And now Slashdot to the rescue! Please answer my questions/comments with certifiable facts.
which is why there are skeleton of all the links between man and monkey right in your local museum, right?

Really, This is exactly what I was talking about. There are too many peices of the puzzle missing. Man was the cousin of the neandrethal, we coexisted for quite a while. But they *still* haven't found the "missing link" I'm not saying God pointed a finer and *poof* there was man. What I am saying is *we don't know yet* it hasn't been proven. Even if everyone excepts it as true, we don't know. The Earth isn't flat, but people used to believe it was. This is the same way. When it is proven, I will beleive it, but not until.
FTA: that's what Bush said. Sounds reasonable to me, as neither has been proven, nor disproven. Maybe the courts will agree. At the school where I work, the theory of evolution is taught as *what happened* not as a theory. Most teachers never use the word theory. When I was a student there, I never once even heard that it was a theory. It was only through independant research that I realized that it hadn't been proven yet... and that's just wrong. I was a firm non-Christian, because I thought God had been disproved. But He is just Unproven. Guess I'll find out when I die. But so will my teacher.
Something like that would be hard to miss. Once the UN *agreed* to do something it would be too late to save ther politicians, but I'd bet on Gates calling up Dell and the Walton family and building cheap rockets to get us out of here, using intel processors, windows vista, and sold at Wal*marts across the world.
One could only hope they forgot to svae one for themselves.

just fyi, they can't even spell "marijuana" in a "scientific" study. So why will I believe them?
