So, I was getting my lunch at the local Dog Haus( which used to be a Weinerschnitzel, which incedentally is where Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne brainstormed the idea for "Take it Easy"...those of you who know your 70's will know what I'm talking about ), sitting at the window, waiting for my food. Anyways, I guess my burger was taking too long, so the employee ru
I can't agree with either of you more. I think the X-Prize was the deciding factor for me, at least, in regards to the future of space exploration. The private sector has made leaps and bounds with the technology available to them, and will most likely be able to get done what needs to get done. I'm looking forward to the progress on the space elevator as well, now that there's land set aside for them.
Nasa just unveiled their plan to return mankind to the surface of the moon by 2018. However, this date will most likely be pushed back because of the federal government's pledge of aid to the Gulf Coast, the damage done to NASA installments in Louisiana and Mississippi totaling $1.1 billion, and the money pit that is the war in Iraq. How is NASA going to do
Thanks all!! *goes off and clicks her buttons making the menu pop up*
I suppose I could have been a little more clear on that. He only sent me the link to check out. He DOES NOT , and wouldn't approve of it, as he is homosexual himself.
That was a great post, Bailey. Very insightful and well thought out. This is a topic I've pondered often. If you take it further, how has religion in general helped better civilization? There is the obvious response of charity, but in all reality, how much have they helped, instead of kept to themselves? I respect the right of others to believe as they wish, that's there call. It's only my own opinion, and the path I choose to walk.
One of my best friends-a good, decent and honest man- who I have known for many years, just sent me a link to this website. I respect everyone's right to worship as they believe. There are times though, that I can't help but get up on that proverbial soapbox, and open my mouth. I don't care if you believe the disgusting, demeaning, and otherwise desultory cra
It would be a simple solution, wouldn't it? *gets out the white-out roller thingie* Two seconds, and we wouldn't have a dispute anymore. *sigh*
Para, if you want to blame something for the decline in the educational system, go ahead and blame popular culture, as it is the real culprit behind just about everything you said in your post above. How that has something to do with the words 'under God' taken out of the Pledge, I have no idea....
Reciting the Pledge, as it stands now, is unconstitutional-not the pep rally.
ParaTed said: However, it doesn't mean that I shouldn't have the opportunity to recite the pledge, simply because you don't want to . I see your point of view, and agree with it, however.... Until the phrase 'under God' is taken out of the Pledge, which is something that unfortunately, I don't see happening any time soon because of the rampant fundamentalism in the country at the moment, the Pledge will still be unconstitu
Both Madison and Washington are noted to have upheld the theory of seperation as well. Washington, in an address to the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island: "It is now no more that tolerance is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgenced of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights, for, happily, the government of the United States, which gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live
We don't fear God. We don't fear Religion. We only wish to live our lives without them being forced down our throats by fanatic fundamentalists and our government. The founders of our country strongly believed in the seperation of Church and State, and I don't see why we have to deviate from that now, in this day and age, when even though Christians are in the majority, diversity-cultural and religious, permeates our society. Freedom of Relig
When I first heard of Judge Lawrence Karlton's ruling in San Francisco, I was elated. I was elated because for me, this seemed like a great victory in the fight against the religious overtones that have permeated American society in the last five years. However, my elation was turned to dissapointment when I heard that the Senate voted unanimously on a resolution to
Hi all! My first blog posting....*sighs* I knew it would happen sooner or later, and the event horizon seems to have arrived. I'll keep this first one short, as it's supposed to be a welcome post...or something. Just so you all know, I plan on writing about current events and whatever else comes to mind. I have strong interests in the study of religion, history, culture,
I was just introduced to DesktopX, and so far, I love it!! The whole reason why I discovered the program was that I found a theme, the Thinking Tree theme, and I fell in love with it. After downloading the program and discovering what it could do, I instantly set out to make my own desktop with a similar concept as the Thinking Tree theme. In that theme, there are text
I just discovered the wonderful things I can do with DesktopX, and I'm diving in, trying to create my own theme. I've created a theme that works similarily to the Thinking Tree theme, which is what made me download the program in the first place. That theme has simple text layers that you click on to bring up a centralized menu that, depending on which text layer you click, brings up a different menu, i.e. system, apps, games, etc. I'm tryin
