Intellectually lazy? Can you honestly call others this when you claimed that humans were chimpanzees even though a quick bit of research would have shown otherwise? I give up with you people. You'll just have to wait for your little Rapture to get the last word. I can't believe what you wrote. It's ama
Nontheists are atheists. That's what the a means. Like with anarchy. Sorry to have confused you my all-knowing person created in God's image. Theism, the existence of supernatural beings that create all things is a generality. Atheism is normally associated with a belief in a monotheistic God, like your
I wonder, if science can completly explian everything, why Evolution is STILL a THEORY. Why isn't it a fact. You spoke of "The fossil evidence; anotomical evidence; molecular evidence and DNA evidence..." so if it is such a black and white issue why is it not fact? Here's where the brain-washing is most
You do realize that Jesus was tried and killed as a criminal right? If the Jewish elite wanted to supress Him then what better way than simply not bring Him up. Its not like the people of the time had TV or the Internet.Strange though, that in the end, Christianity has the final laugh. I don't much care
the only difference between you and me fmfyguy is that you are putting all your eggs (faith) in science I am putting mine in a God that is taught in the Bible.Let's say you are correct? What will be our outcome?Let's say I am correct? Eternity is a long, long time! I didn't mean to get into an argumen
Any argument for getting rid of the Electoral College is made out of either a complete ignorance of our system, or a total disregard for it. Excuse me for appending my previous reply to this quote. Today, if you are in a very, very "Red" state (big or small) the "Blue" guy doesn't spend much time there.
A more representative system would be like the one used in Nebraska and Maine where each congressional district vote is up for grabs and the overall winner takes the other two. Good reply. Now we are getting somewhere. I trust you agree that there are some very structural changes needed to make our dem
Boxers bill will NOT pass! And what your talking about will NEVER come to pass. You may very well be right. So let's all just pack up and go ... where? Bobby Kennedy used to say, about certain very bad things, "that is unacceptable." He meant that it had to be changed and he would likely play some role.
Any argument for getting rid of the Electoral College is made out of either a complete ignorance of our system, or a total disregard for it. The first thing you folks on this blog have to learn is to not make such nasty and sometimes really stupid statements. I would like you to explain to me how, if th
This has to be the lamest of all blogs. One "believes" in the unprovable. The issue should be not whether anyone is AntiChristian or not (I do feel sorry for the beating up of a majority as if you're afraid of being lynched or beat up like the whining minorities), it's really about if, when and how those "beliefs" of yours are imposing your complete acceptance of things on others. Let's take, for example, that annoying issue of evolution. Science,
However, I still say that the only wasted vote is one not cast. I agree fully that not casting a vote is the greatest waste of all. However, the first thing you have to do is get rid of the Electoral College. It's the enormous compromise that has long outlived it's purpose. If no third party candidate can pull a single state (or even a few) then your vote is one of "protest." You're protesting while Rome burns. I'll repeat an earlier
Hey! Does anybody out there have any idea what Social Security was for in the first place? It's wonderful to read how you can "invest" and do much better. I wonder; do you have life insurance policies? Lousy "investment.". Unless, of course, you die really young and someone gets a big payoff. Problem is that those of us who make it beyond 65 or 70 get screwed since we paid all that money to get your family a bundle because you were too stupid to watch
Define "true to liberal beliefs." Compared to what? NeoCons? Right-wing Conservatives? The "bring us back to good old middle-ages Religious Conservatives? I'm having a real problem with all of this chatter about how awful Democrats are. In an ideal world you get to vote for two great candidates that who both want what's best for America and disagree about the best way to get to the same place. You don't have that and you're not getting it any tim
Someone once noted that all politics is local. If you really want to start a "successful" third party you have to work locally and work your way up. Congress is where things ultimately happen. If they go lock-step with the president like the Republicans are today, then it's one party dictatorship. It's interesting that we consider one party to be a dictatorship and two to be a democracy. You will note that not a single nation that has ventured int
Let's see now ... left-wing nut cases. Interesting! Is that compared to right-wing nut cases? What's "left" wing? It's all so simple when you say it that way. Social Security; Unemployment Insurance; FDIC savings insurance; Civil Rights; Equal Opportunity; environmental protection; minimum wage; electifying the entire middle of America; etc., etc., etc. That must be what you mean by "left"??? Or, is it "tax and spend" versus "borrow and spend

I must assume that our Libertarian friend did not vote for Bush (could be wrong). After all, there is a vast range between Libertarian and darned-near Facist. Now, Bush probably doesn't know what a Facist is because he'd have to read a book to find out. But Rumsfeld, Cheney and the rest of the so-called NeoCon bunch certainly do. As an aging Liberal (turned Progressive), I am dismayed at the failure of most to either recall or understand history. W
