[quote]why test them at all? Was he like...double checking his work?[/quote] even you LW? get sucked up in this false premise!!! i am surprised!!!! everyone says "they were tested" .... there were no tests, no trials and errors .... no proof-reading ... He created them, told them the rules and the choices and the dangers then He let them live as they wish ... they c
[quote]the end result is a text which doesn't hang together internally for even 3 pages.[/quote] i was going to point what you said to you. then i read your above comment. isnt that a contardiction on your part?!!!! if you know that the text is not authentic enough... why blame God for it? .... people with souls and people without ... mud people and blood people!!!!

Do you think the owner of the rental place deservesmore than the money you pay for your lease?[/quote] the discussion with you chales is useless i think. the land that has oil in it is just like renting a place to open ur busn? what can i say charles .... nothing i guess.... ok charles ... they j
[quote]And here in lies the point of my article, how can anything be fair when even the meaning of the word fairness is not absolute?[/quote] only in your mind charles ... only in your mind. nothing is absolute in this life ... that doesnt mean you cant judge and do the "fair" thing in any situation. being not an absolute is a measure that helps peopl who are "fair-minded" do their best to reach the right judgement
[quote]They see it as belonging to the country, the government, or the world, depending on the context of the moment, rather than the descrete property of individuals. If that were true, they would be right that it is unfair that only a few controll it.[/quote] Disregarding the nonsense response to my comment, since they don't actually address the points i raised, here is a great comment that hits the matter at the
You guys never quit.... do you? grabbing at straws allover the place to find something to say? [quote]"I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everyone"[/quote] this is the last straw you found ... great ... let me ask you here: who's wealth was he talking about
[quote]"Given the scientific fact that a human life begins at conception, the only moral norm needed to understand the Church's opposition to abortion is the principle that each and every human life has inherent dignity, and thus must be treated with the respect due to a human person," the document concludes.[/quote] This is not true at all. What scientific evidence shows is that two forms of "life" (notice the diff
[quote]An innocent bystander? Or do you just fail to see the hypocrisy of it?[/quote] No hypocrisy on my part at all ... again at all. I realize that Biden is a washington insider as much as McCain. But he is not the main man .. he will follow Obama's lead. the real hypocrisy is to say that McCain and his VP are agents of change. Even assuming Palin is a new and not an insider, she is still not the main policy maker
[quote]seriously? If there was ever a candidate that was NOT about issues, it's OBAMA! [/quote] Really????? You guys never amaze me about how you confront reality and facts !!!! you ignore them with a staright face ... that is admirable for sure. That point was made by McCain's people ..... and you still argue about it??? very admirable indeed !!!! &n
[quote]John McCain is like the worst of both worlds. He's an economic disaster with misguided foreign policy judgment. After 8 years of cowboy diplomacy, record deficits, and mounting economic stress, we have had enough. It is time for change.[/quote] comon now !!!! Sarah Palin is not a change for the likes of you and me???? look at her ..... it is sure a huge change man. <span style="font-size: small;
[quote]Obama doesn't feel any obligation to do so obviously by his lack of contact with him. Just like all the other Dems I've talked with it's not about THEM helping others.[/quote] I wasnt goint to respond to this ... till i read this statement that is. How do you know that he doesnt contact or help his brother? and how do you know that "all Dems" dont help others? ..
[quote]No doubt Govenor Palin will plead ignorance and she has the credentials to support her claim. She attended 5 colleges in six years, before finally graduating from the University of Idaho in 1987. Certainly she will claim that the press is out to get her. Why not? After all, when she finally did graduate, it was with a degree in journalism.[/quote] Larry, i rarely agree with you. but somehow i cant help but ad

[quote]Will people understand knowing this happens to the best of families or will they be wagging their fingers condemning her and her family for this unplanned pregnancy.[/quote] Now you want people to understand that? Family values, Abstinence, Parental supervision ...etc., your hallamrk of principles and your life-long banner against liberals, are not relevant? !!!!
[quote]It's McCain who brings change to the ticket[/quote] in personnel ... that is for sure .... in policies and direction? ... please be serious .... is that how trivial the VP position is in your thinking? ....

[quote]Apparently our "unjust and ignorant" state also includes a boat load of arrogance.[/quote] Surely it does. In Qura'n God also states that Mankind "argues a lot ... in Arrogance and disbelief". It is truely amazing how these descriptions fit what humans do.
[quote]Why does Russia have the privilege to defend its interest while the west does not?[/quote] Isn't that a backward question? it is amazing how good you are in spinning things. both actions are not justified. but since we did it first, how can we act as if we defend the integrity of other nations' borders? we declared that pre-empyive actions is our policy to protect

[quote]This verse thus alludes to the requirement to recite a blessing to God one hundred times each day.[/quote] [quote]the formula for the practice is to first recognize the thing or event and then thank the Infinite for it. Mindfulness comes first as a gateway to thanking the absolute for the thing or event recognized. [/quote] Amen. I can fully relate to that. Glad y

[quote]Bush didnt win the popular vote at all mate.[/quote] Thanks for the correction. You are right. I meant 500 votes out of Florida's voters . and yes it is less than 500 votes. i think it was about 300+ votes. but lets say it is 500. then he won the office by winning less than 0.1% of Fl popular votes.
[quote]he enjoys a 5 point lead over Maccain but that lead is well within the margin of error[/quote] Imagine if that lead was for McCain over Obama. you would have seen the whole media saying it is over for Obama ... wouldnt they? ... even now when that margin drops to 3 points they say ... look he is losing .... It is really amazing how they spin his lead ... <
