Oddly enough, despite the encyclopedic definition of conservatism cited above, current conservative ideology allows for the free choice of paths, some of which may turn out good and some of which may turn out bad (but are generally self-correcting when they do so). Yea those pesky encyclopedic facts get
Typical enlightened doublespeak. An elitist who feels the lesser humanoids must be overssen by their more advanced counterparts. Thanks Mr. Spock. Oddly I thought the last 200 years of social evolution was about convincing us that we were all equally evolved.It's all synthetic, hothouse flower ideals. One day, it suits Liberalism
Or it could be that they grant enough personhood to the average person to expect them to not allow themselves to be exploited. On the other hand Liberals seem to feel without their nurturing influence full-grown women and minorities will be unable to fend for themselves. Typical conservative, you don’t
Well many of them have no problem exploiting people or the environment. Capitalism rewards this behavior and that is in fact why statistically conservatives have more wealth. Got any proof of this? Like Draginol says Social Darwinism, survival of the fittest, After I’m finished eating you get the s
[ 2) I agree that many liberals fear Christians. And for many, that fear becomes hate. But there's little evidence to support their fear. The Republicans have controlled the executive and legislative branch for 6+ years now and there's been no laws passed that stifles anyones freedom on religious grounds.
You contradict yourself, first you say liberals have been hijacked and then you say they haven’t changed at all. I think it’s obvious that both ideologies have been moving steadily left for some time. Today’s conservative is yesterday’s lefty. For instance say you believe in idea darwinism witch is liberal view not a conservative one. I personally don’t see the human race as an episode of wild kingdom. Don’t you think it’s ironic and stupid t
Gotta love the competition. Without AMD in the game we’d be eagerly waiting to shell out $1200 for the delayed Christmas release of the new P4. Thank you Intel may I have another. Still think we’d have a much better OS right now if the DOD had split up MS.
Atheists are the only people who don’t think atheism is a religion so let them preach. Considering the long and continuing history of religions hating non-believers I think doth protest too much.
I’m against the death penalty as well. I think it’s a waste of a perfectly good living donor and medical experiment subject. Why give some innocent chimpanzee an incurable disease when we have these sub humans with DNA even closer to our own to test experimental treatments on?
momijiki Image quality wise there about the same, the 20D is considered a pro-sumer camera wile the D50 is an entry level DSLR. The 20D is a better camera but it’s twice as much and is over a year old, whilst the Nikon is just out. If you already have one or more canon lenses then I would get the canon or wait for their next model otherwise the Nikon is much more bang for th
It all depends on what type of photography you want to do. A news or magazine photographer would rarely if ever need more than 5 megapixel to do the job, and for them there is no other option than digital. These photographers used to spend 10 to 20k a year just on film. Digital pays for itself pretty quick if your taking lots of pictures. If your field requires large pints and you need a large format digital back most photographers just leas
Yes I would spend eternity in Hell to save the lives of these unborn children. And you can continue to proudly tell everyone you’re pro-life. Perhaps if you write down the words “I would sacrifice unborn children to keep my ethics intact” you might see how selfish it is. But whatever makes you feel good about yourself right.
Like I was saying it’s not about your ethics or my ethics, it’s about saving the lives of unborn children. If you do not believe murder is wrong, as Stubby indicated, then I cannot really relate to you. And yes, it is situational ethics. No you asked me a hypothetical question and I gave you t
History has already proven without a doubt that making murder illegal significantly reduces murder rates. But to answer your question yes I would want the law against murder removed from the books if it saved lives. The word “legal” only exist to describe the opposite of illegal. You can’t make something legal unless you made it illegal at some point. So to say you want make something legal means you want to revert things back to th
Let me ask this question. If it were proven to you that banning abortion would actually increase the number of abortions in this country would you still want to ban it?
Well I’m going to come to Katie’s defense here. She ste herself up for it, you know. She proclaimed her virginity to the world. If she'd shut up about it, nodody would even have asked. But, she put herself and her virginity on a pedestal when she said that she'd be a virgin until she married....and she's now been knoc
No joy here, classic mode only, colors will change but skins wont load and explorer crashes when I try to open a window. 4.6 works flawlessly on this PC. XPPro 32 bit 9800 pro 5.8 catalyst drivers 3200 x64 athlon MSI k8t neo mainboard
I find it much harder to paint with current digital tools than with traditional painting techniques. Programs like Painter and PhotoShop require years to master and force you to know much more about why a surface looks the way it does and how to control every aspect of texture color and light. What digital has done for photography is just the opposite. Photographers aren’t as concerned with learning how to capture a good picture. Using PhotoShop instea
The wisdom of government remaining neutral is so obvious I don’t see how anyone could have a problem with it. I ‘m using the word neutral because some people think secularism means anti-religion instead of just not considering it. I was listening to a conservative talk radio show the other day the speaker (who’s name I can’t remember) was comparing what atheist are doing in trying to keep all mention of God out of publicly funded life to what
Atheists don’t fear God they fear religion. For every positive influence religion has on society there are even more negative ones. As an Agnostic, ( which to me means I don’t know how or why we are here and I’m okay with that ), I don’t want religion to have any influence over my life. Many view this war as just another in a long list of religious power struggles. I’ve lost family to this war so it’s obviously having an effect on my life. History has
Geeze Ted, where do you even find out about this shit? Just delete that spam and find a happy place. Just because it's a tradition doesn't make it bad, and just because it's change doen't make it good. Spoken like a true conservative:)
There are many times when the “will of the people” is ignored to protect the minority. It all comes down to whether or not homosexuality is “real” and not just bad behavior or some form of mental illness. That’s the question that needs to be answered to determine whether gay marriage can even be put to vote.
There is a great deal of evidence. It’s the interpretation of that evidence that’s so complex. It involves half a dozen specific fields and the most complex computer models ever created but at least it can be studied using the scientific methods unlike ID. The consensus is growing stronger. Link Besides Global Warming is clearly related to the increasing
Ah well worst-case scenario would be my inland south Florida home could soon be oceanfront property. Were not going to be able to do much about it. The US and other counties are going to burn fossil fuels until we run out or they become to expensive. They’re many other man made pollutants far more dangerous than CO2 and other greenhouse gasses that we need to focus on. I don’t have a problem though with the eco nuts that warn us at the top of their lun
Dramatic climate changes are a natural part of the planets history. Natural causes like Volcano’s and those massive undersea methane eruptions that supposedly sink ships and down planes in the Devils triangle certainly take their toll on the ozone. Hell in a few hundred years the magnetic poles are supposed to switch leaving us exposed to cosmic rays from the sun for a thousand years. But to say that all the various ozone depleting gasses
