geeze you mean I missed the end of the world? Well in a sense... but I'm pretty sure you weren't born yet at the time. "End of the World" is probably not a good translation because of the images that conjures in our Western minds. "End of the Age" is a better translation. <TABLE cellpa

AntiChrist was Nero. *sigh* Listen, folks... as exciting as it is to think that the Good Book was written about you, it wasn't. Jesus said that his return and the "end of the age" would be within the lifetime of some of those present listening to him. And it was. All prophecy was fulfilled, a LONG TIME AGO.

I'm actually surprised no one has mentioned the effect that abortion-on-demand has had on our tax base. There are tens of millions of missing tax payers. The pyramid scheme that is Social Security is going to fail because the tax base isn't large enough. Back in the earlier half of the 1900s when the average couple had more children, SS "worked" alright. But now that the "Most Selfish Generation" has killed off nearly 50 million Americans in their ques

I for one loved the public transport in Korea. And I owned a car. Well, it was sort of a car. The sort that would make you ask the driver to stop so you could get out. But I digress... The benefits of the Korean public transport were pretty much that you wouldn't have to worry about driving. One could feel very smart after having navigated successfully the labrynth of the Seoul Underground. Plus one could play that old game of trying to blend in wi

Foreign diplomacy is the purview of the Executive Branch . The gaggle of Representatives - Democrat and Republican alike - who went to Syria to try their hand at diplomacy need to be taught that they are not above the <a href="http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode18/usc

One of the best memories I have from Fort GoodFellow was when our instructor (Andysocial) was forced to read us a new, important (and very dumb) policy. His supervisor monitored him for the first 2/3 of the reading, then exited. At that point Andysocial proceeded to toss the paper over his shoulder and say "This has been a message brought to you by Dumb and Dumber" or something to that effect. Permanently secured his cool status in our minds as we tot

You're being too specific. I think "Unfit Human" would be a more apt title. It's a sad reality that success in the entertainment world almost invariably destroys a person. I suppose the adoring worship of thousands of morons would do that to anyone...

And why is it not more logical for a woman--supposing she rationally thought it through--to decide rather than "people"? Better yet, let the child in question decide... though you'd have to wait 'til he was 18, of course. I thin

Thanks, Mom, for not aborting me; therefore, I am obligated to vote republican! Dream on. Though you may not like it, studies (and common sense) have shown that children tend, on average, to absorb the values of their parents. Shocking, huh?

1529. The Siege of Vienna. Islam, under the flag of Suliman the Magnificent. reached the end of its westward push into Europe, largely due to the fact that heavy rains prevented Suliman from bringing along his heavy artillery, but also due to the willingness of the Viennese to fight to the death to preserve their culture, their city, and their way of life. 2

The recent over-reaction of a certain vocal subset of Muslims against some fairly tame cartoons printed in some European newspapers seems to reveal an underlying lack of security in the truth of their own religion. Could it be that the Immams, in teaching hatred and violence have failed to teach doctrine or reason? Could it be that the fundamentals of Islam are being
