I think these warnings would be taken more seriously if these scientists actually acknowledged that it's normal for the world to have drastic changes in its climate, and unless these scientists, have evidence that humans were responsible for ice ages, they're going to have to explain why they're positive that the Earth isn't undergoing another climatic change on its own.
I didn't intend to surf the Internet today, but I spotted an article in Saturday's local newspaper, The Modesto Bee , that really irked me. Madison Hatton, 9, was collecting cans to pay the $100 needed to participate in the American Cancer Society's annual Relay for Life. Although she could have went door-to-door asking for donations, she thought it was better to raise the money on her own, which is honorable, considering that men d
How ridiculous. This sounds like a case best handled by the Media, as I can't imagine anybody supporting a company who would sue somebody for being able to conceive a child on their own. I'll also check the local news more often to see the outcome of this situation.
I applaud them for not watering down their religion with political correctness. Decisiveness fits better into religions than fence-sitting. I doubt anybody who reads Jesus Week would have as much faith if after everything they said, they went: "But we might be totally wrong and the opposite might be totally right and the evidence for both sides is inconclusive." The only belief I think would lend itself to openmindedness about all other possibilities i
I'm bored. I no longer yearn to save Hyrule from Ganondorf nor do I long to defeat the aliens on HALO. I yawn at the idea of becoming the greatest skater in the cul-de-sac and I have no interest in saving the Mushroom Kingdom from Mother Brain. The idea of heroism, even in its most antiheroic variant, has become a tiresome cliché. Even embracing the side of villainy has been overdone past its expiration date. That is why I think the gaming industry should abandon its stigma toward adult gaming.<
Sorry Brad but gay people are not second class citizens. they are as equal as anyone else. Blacks marring whites use to not be legal either for the same points you have given here. Oh it will have a profound effect on our society. If two people love each other and want to commit themselves to each other then they should have the
I think Bush will probably win this election too, but then again, I thought Bush had no chance last election and was quite confident that Gore would win. I wonder if Florida will be the laughing stock of this election as well.
If marriage is simply a religious idea, then for the government to change what that idea means is an insult to religions everywhere, and for homosexuals to refuse to respect the religious beliefs of a group makes them look bad. What's next? A group of Pagans demanding that the Christian belief in Jesus as Lord and Savior be changed to a belief in Wonder Woman being the Daughter of God? I don't agree with every belief from every religion, but I'm no
I'm with you on this. Although I do enjoy the fight on topics such as politics, religion, and games, to bring the fight down to a personal level is childish and rude. imajinit's definitely right that they're just trying to piss you off though and it is nothing personal, and by pissing you off, you are doing what they want you to do. Deleting their comments is the best thing to do though, as they won't receive the attention they want from either you
I didn't realize that if something is done in Africa, that it should be free. By the way, they tell stories and play games in Africa, so I don't see why I should pay for any of those things. After all, it's not as though African tribes play the music you download, but once again, the whole "music is eternal and should be free" is just another excuse to download music without paying for it.
The spam you receive in your email is not regulated by the FCC, nor do I think it's legal.
Why is music eternal, but not storytelling (i.e. movies), and playing (i.e. games)? Is it just that you aren't interested in these things, so they could charge, but since you don't want to pay for music, that should be free?
You do understand the difference between earning money from working and welfare, right? I don't see what service welfare recipients are providing to earn their checks.
That's terrible. I'm against all sorts of thievery, but to violate another person's privacy and invade their home is simply unforgivable, and for them to do that to somebody who's in the midst of grieving is worse than unforgivable. It's times like these that I hope there really is a Hell.
One would think that if information truly wanted to be free, that it wouldn't want to be encrypted. Kind of defeats the point of it being free.
I love how some people imply that information wants to be free, but would be upset if I had access to their personal information such as credit card numbers and what not (which is still information, which wants to be free).
The people in the military also actually serve a purpose and earn their keep, so it's not as if they're getting paid for nothing.
Not that I don't expect to lose some points, but does anybody else find it odd that in less than a day, I went from a score of around 2000 that placed me at a rank of around thirty to a score of -661, which does seem rather weird to me. I'm publicizing this because I do want to know if it's the work of a few individuals (which does seem likely as, unless I'm mistaken about the point system, sixteen people would have to rate down all my comments for me
It might be ironic that you prevented your child from hurting herself by hurting her, but surely the irony is favorable when compared with the alternative, which is the death of your child. Any discipline done too often would be bad. Grounding somebody too often will isolate them from the world, and taking something away from a child too often will cause that child to find something else to do, which might be bad, and I'm sure there's more meaningf
I wouldn't have anything against such an act if those involved warned the audience ahead of time with a parental advisory or something. If it's not even going to bother sticking to the ratings it has for its shows, then either the rating system should be discarded or they should face some harsh punishment.
Even developers have the same freedoms with both licences, the GPL's demand merely concerns those who want to add restrictions, not those who use or develop software per se. Nope. The developer cannot choose the license of the software that includes GPL'd code while the developer can with BSD code. Pla
j swift: In the real world, people are expected to work for their keep. It might be wrong for people not to benefit off the hard work of others and expect them to be responsible though. Of course, I guess when it's somebody else's money, there's nothing wrong with taking it for ourselves. Also, I've noticed while searching articles on how much the wealthy pay compared to the poor, and I noticed (besides the rich paying most of the taxes) that those against tax cuts for the rich NEVER
When I read that, I started wondering why, if politicians pander to the rich, as some love to claim, are the rich still paying over 90% of the taxes?
I'll admit that I don't know the licenses by heart, but if I remember correctly, as this one Linux zealot writes on Slashdot . the BSD license allows developers to incorporate BSD code into their products without anymore than an acknowledgement of who created that code, while the GPL forbids developers to incorporate GPL code into their products unless their products are under the GPL as
strawman! I didn`t say that the GPL gave the user more freedom than the BSD licence. In fact, and I agree with Richard Stallman here, I think both licences give the user the same freedoms. The difference is not about what you can do with the software, but about what you can demand of others. I guess say
