    Actually Creationism is an affront to God as it teaches us that God, who is supposedly all powerful and all knowing, was not smart enough to develop a dynamic system but had to settle for a static one.

    Easy to get around, have a baby in the car when approached by the guard start changing the 'pre'-loaded diaper and say you are waiting for your wife and then ask the guard to hold the dirty diaper for a moment while you finish up.

  18. Some People Need Conspiracy Theories on NIST Releases Report On WTC 7 Collapse · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Insecure people need conspiracy theories, they need to make what happened more complicated and devious that it really was. Because if what happened really was this easy;

    Prior to 9/11 several people from a third world countries entered the US legally and took flight lessons and then booked flights. Then on 9/11 they legally boarded the aircraft and once the aircraft were airborne took over aircraft, that basically fly themselves, and then pointed them at buildings.

    They could never sleep at night and it would make people from the third world smarter that they are.

  20. Re:It is to laugh. on Iran Announces Manned Space Mission Plans · · Score: 1

    This was not the case here. In the case of Iran, as with all the colinized areas of the world, the colonial administration gave their friends real sweetheart deals at below true market values. When the colionies then became independant the people who had no involvment in negotiating the contracts were expected to continue to allow themselve to be used and abused. So the oil companies were given a choice, they could either pay a fair market value for the resource or they could be nationalized. They chose the third option to overthrow the elected government and keep the sweetheart deals at the expence of the people.

  24. It is to laugh. on Iran Announces Manned Space Mission Plans · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You know at one time Iran had the only democraticly elected secular government in the area. Unfortunatly they ran afoul of the oil companies. Something about wanting a proper return for their natural resources. Anyway this democratic secular governemt was overthrown in a US/UK backed coup and a dictator who was nice to the oil companies was installed. Which leads us to today. If the west would just keep their noses out of everybodies business the world would be so much better off. By the way the same applies to Afganistan, only now we have a real mess to clean up.
