My hat is off to you, Sir, for trying to penetrate the Veil that surrounds these people. It must be out of remorse; because if what you said is even remotely true (and I happen to believe it is absolute), then we are all fucked, so why bother telling people if you know this?
Ah, because you also believe that Man's Hope lies in spirituality, not dogma which has doomed us.
Still intelligent people in the World. Still a shred of Hope. But the young will turn against the old. They always do. It's happening now.
Whenever people begin with that nonsense of how they think, because of their religious upbringing mind you, that Man can not affect the world that God created; I simply point to that enormous portion of North Africa known as Sahara to remind them of what HUMANS can do to our planet.
Doubt me? Look it up. Sahara is a human creation. Let that be a reminder to you. Now fast forward the tape to current date. What are we facing, this time?
Whatever idiot deemed this insightful has totally lost perspective.
Our population has been growing at an ESCALATED frequency for the last 200 000 years. Oh, well, not according to Creationists, who really believe the world is 12 000 years old. They "know this" because they summarized all the people in the Bible from Adam & Eve. "Roughly" 12 000 years. Very scientific. Almost on the laughable level of this comment.
Let there be a dawn of Reasoning.
So in all seriousness, do you believe that scientists have nothing to gain personally by supporting the theory of global warming?
Lots. Lots and lots of personal honor and fame to be won from saving the world. I salute them, as we crash and burn because uneducated buffoons steer the world towards meltdown under the pretense of being superior; because they have to feel that way in order to enrich their pathetic, short-lived, lives.
Another service claimed as an innovation by Google that pre-dates MY consciousness with at least 5 years.
Americans strike me as the least able people in the world to criticize what is right in front of their fucking eyes.
Google has nothing ("NOTHING") that Yahoo didn't already have 5 years ago. Just because idiot users have to be educated one function at a time does not make the company either innovative or even clever. This balloon is set to blow, and all it needs is a little prick.....
This is just pr0n for nerds. My Bittorrent is much larger than your Bittorrent. Oh yeah well mine distributes Anime. Wow you'll be on Slashdot now, making millions of teens wet with desire.
Your country is educated through marketing campaigns, are all corporate bitches, and 5% of the population controls 95% of all assets. America is socially retarded. Uneducated spiritually. And compassion is a word most Americans do not know how to spell. You have a fundamentalist totalitarian iliterate Creationist tyrant for a boss, and you're the bully of the world. But this debate is over. The cold war for you was lost in your constitution - because America is for sale, and you are no longer the worlds' largest economy. Welcome to China, your new Masters. My only hope is that they will treat you right, and foremost allow you to keep your guns so that you can continue your civil war that never ended.
Ok. A bit bleak. And I guess an anti-america protest. Here comes the razor.
Awesome. If I could mod you up I would. A poem I once read (author unknown) said; It is those who dare to brave the darkest waters, wherein new land can be found, who carry the first light into darkness. And sometimes, those who follow them burn like moths drawn too close. But those who brave run astray, must do so, for light to prosper, and to persist.
Okay. I thought it was sort of Bill Hicks:ish. Awesome dude. I only wish your bottom-line conclusion will continue to sound silly for a long time.....;-)
You're telling people to copy stuff! Freely! With no DRM. I thought copying was illegal in the U.S. The fact that billions of cells in your body are duplicated every day only means that humans are illegal, unless grown in Government (=Corporate) vats.
Woe upon you for misleading our young and incriminating yourself further.
I Slashdot. Therefore... Uh... Yeah.
Hello. I am an alien who has transformed himself into this textfile. As you are reading this, I am having sex with your eyeballs. I know you like it because you are smiling.
it won't be on machines everyone will use but only on machines that safeguard your personal data, handles nuclear materials, and manages powergrids. Of course, what sort of moronic logic that is, I don't know. Hey. I've got no opinion here. I'm only posting the obvious fault in logic.
on its' own reasoning.
Why, say ye?
Well. If they Googled for the Google report on Eric Schmidt, founder of Google. *duck* Then they announce to the public in the form of their new policy directed towards a company that derived such information FROM Googling, that Erik Schmidt was troubled by the fact that their business sells information that actually (since they claim it, AND deliver it) DOES hurt privacy - because Eric Schmidt was bothered "greatly" by it.
Ironic how truly intelligent people sometimes fail to see the obvious. This was a bad step for Google. But I guess that means lots of negative kharma just because I don't see the innovativeness in Google just because people have yet to catch up to Yahoo in understanding of complexity of service. Google succeeds for the same reason Microsoft does - because they understand that the vast majority of users out there are idiots and must be educated, one small step at a time. Eventually, people will cross that threshold of knowledge. When that happens, Google will appear to be what Microsoft is today; a ludicrous collection of functions that 99% of users either do not want, do not need, or would use only with great hindrance being the problem.
Or has no one noticed that lately Google is more a collection of ads than real information? Perhaps you don't actually read other stuff than Slashdot (or why should you), but I do, and I am losing faith in Google.
So how could you possibly be refering to yourselves as a free, democratic country? You're run by 1 guy and his minions. You are arrested for disagreeing with political policy or expressing your constitutional right. That would make you a political prisoner. And the U.S has bombed over 65 countries with millions of dead as a result since the end of World War II. And your senate and parliament is run by fundamentalists (only they happen to have the audacity to call themselves christian) with the power and belief to destroy the world - and a proscribed visionary apocalypsm to follow.
I'm just trying to prove a point. It's not like the U.S is holding any medals at the moment. To me it looks to lead to ruin. Do I support people blowing themselves up because of their faith? Certainly, as long as they don't hurt anyone else.
However, that is not the state of current affairs.
Let me finish that sentence.... Because God created you in one day. (Right? That's what you were going to say, right? Right? It was? Wasn't it? I knew it).
This is rather silly. Aristotle and Plato both believed in a form of Divinity through accumulance/or growing/ of Virtue. And among other things, they believed in reincarnation, which is unfortunately removed from christian doctrine by some 1800 years in history (of said 'evolution').
The fact that they at that point had not evolved prominently from the doctrines of Polygami to Monoism is just an artifact of history. Or do you claim great men have to be clairvoyant in order to remain great?
Ever noticed how Creationists look really unevolved? -Bill Hicks
So, get it dude. If you look at this rationally, it is clear that our kids would be taught two things.
One is a theory that has massive merit, and at least ALLOWS people to believe in, get this, something ELSE than the Judeo-Christian mythological figure which also has some merit of having existed (although I happen to believe he was teaching Buddhism, reincarnation, that sort of stuff), is being consequently sided with Creationism. Which, get this, teaches that God planted dinosaurs on the Earth in order to test mans' faith. I happen to believe my kids are semi-decent sentient beings. I would be extremely disappointed and in need of lecturing them on life to fear they would make the wrong choice here.
Have no fear. That's the point. That's what evolution teaches. And if you add a little Buddhism, a little Dharma, Kharma, and some other ingredients; some even brilliantly captured in the Bible, you can get it work any which way you want. The point is to have faith in your kids. We already know Bush is a twat.

Dude, I seriously think you've got a problem if you're calling your "mind-body" for a "problem".
to write a screenplay? One. Just one. If you add any more scientists, the end result will be inconclusive.
