    D'Oh. I've watched that movie a dozen times and didn't get it. Thanks!

    I could find no references for your claim. Would you mind providing some?

  3. Re:Chaos + Entropy = Design? .....? on Mimicking Materials and Structures In Nature · · Score: 1

    Have you ever seen a frozen waterfall? The water falls from a high energy position to a low energy position. There is certainly a "design" created. The trip from high to low energy doesn't have to be linear.

    They aren't concerned that they will end up in that situation. They are concerned that these laws are overly broad and that the laws will be used unjustly. It is also a "They came for the Jews and I said nothing" situation. Yesterday, it was illegal to possess CP, today it is illegal to possess fictional images of CP. Will tomorrow's law include of-age tentacle rape?

    Do what? Heal? Sure. We are discussing whether or not Jesus would approve of homosexuality. The only context in which the discussion is relevant is if one believes that Jesus was a god. A god would be capable of healing. If Jesus wasn't a god, then he couldn't heal. then why care what a man long dead thought about anything?

    Now, I am not saying that Jesus was a god, just that the entire discussion is meaningless if you didn't believe that he was a god. To participate in the discussion, one would have to believe that Jesus was a god. Otherwise, why care?

    When did Jesus condemn homosexuality? I was aware that Paul did, but I always thought that Jesus had never said anything. Plus, he did heal the centurion's lover, which seems a little incompatible with condemnation.

    Sorry, but Paul tended to be down on rights for people who weren't him. He is the one that wrote those famous bits about how a woman needs to be subservient to her husband Eph 5:22-24 What he had to say about homosexuality Rom 1:27 I can't find anything on incest, but then I'm at work and I am sure I don't want to find anything.

    Man... killing is always the action of a coward. No exceptions. No sides taken. And war is mass murder. Always. Period.

    So? You sound like you are proving a point. What are you getting at?

    What about boycott as a reason to see the names? If a major figure for a company signs the petition, shouldn't that be public knowledge?

    Sorry, but I don't understand why a circularization burn is needed. You sound like you know what you are talking about. Couldn't the initial boost be tuned, so that the object wouldn't make an complete escape? Wouldn't the object fall back to earth and, if aimed proper, miss? Wouldn't that "missing" create an orbit?

    You say it like it is easy, but a kid is going to resent you turning off the TV and taking the games. The more you push an activity, the more they resent it. The memories associated with it will be negative and when they finally have a choice, they will never voluntarily participate again. Basic kid psych. You hate what your parent makes you do.

    The big problem with the back or the chest is that the voltage required to breach your skin and contact your nerves is also the amount of voltage that fries those nerves. The tongue has all those nerves right there with minimal protection.

    I think what he was saying is that American managers are crooked and incompetent, and now his managers, who are imitating American managers, are now also crooked and incompetent. I don't believe that it was the complement you thought it was.
