Reply to Behave yourself Ike! in Current Events Stardock Forums

Yikes! Ike's looking a little meaner. Doesn't look good for Galveston or Houston. Up to a 25 ft. storm surge is going to drown Galveston I hope everyone stays safe. They were saying get out of Galveston or face "eminent death", so if people stayed I guess that's just natural selection at work. South Florida was in it's sights for a week before it finally dipped south of us, I'm both happy and sad. Gas prices are going up that's for sure.

I consider both you and Lula to be very intelligent but your like the opposite of the scientist who’s great with equations but has almost none of the social skills some of us take for granted. Neither you nor Lula understand what science is and no one has been able to explain it too either of you. You quote mine from various sites like AIG and when they’re shown to be incorrect you don’t know enough about scien

US engineers never learn to leave well enough alone, you would think we would have learned this lesson from the Russians. Remember NASA spending millions on a pen that would write in zero gravity when the Russians just used a pencil? The Russian space program has been able to keep up because they only re-engineer things with obvious flaws, sticking with the tried and true instead of unnecessarily introducing new variables to the mission.

Reply to Space Aliens Are Real in Blogging Stardock Forums

With an estimated 500 billion planets in our galaxy and some 100 billion galaxies there should be many thousands of earth like planets out there that experienced an almost identical life cycle as ours. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence and his just being in a position to know something we don’t is not very strong evidence of anything, so I think the governments secrets are still safe.

[quote]So the question is can intellectuals believe in God? Is their superior intellect a plus or minus in coming to such a belief? Does one's intellect even have a bearing on believing in God? Do you think it's easier to believe in God if you're not considered an intellect? In other words is it easier for simple minded people to believe in God?[/quote] Yes and yes it’s much easier to have faith if you have a less analytical mind because it’s the simplest answer t

Reply to Was Jesus just following an existing myth? in Religion Stardock Forums

[quote] Going to war is not legislating sin. It's for the good of society to stop the evil from spreading. To not go to war (scripture has examples of this) when war is necessary leaves evil unchecked and spreading. Many bad and wicked things happened when God's full directives were not carried out to the letter and by letting some live. In fact in one instance almost the whole line of the Kingly tribe of Judah (Christ's line) was entirely wiped out(but for one baby) as a reusult of Israel's

[quote]Have you ever heard about the cities of refuge in the OT? You'd find this in Numbers 35.

If you know that your actions will kill innocents then that constitutes premeditation, it’s just devoid of malice. In biblical times wars were fought by two apposing armies while the women and children waited at a safe distance f

What does the Bible say about manslaughter? If your in the process of stoning someone for a stonable offense and you accidentally take out a innocent little girl walking by, is that not a sin? Does the Bible allow for collateral damage?

Fried Green Lasers in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I’ve been trying to justify buying one of these high power laser pointers. I’ve hovered over the checkout button several times now unable to pull the trigger. Truth is I go through this struggle with my inner child often. I have a wide range of interest so there’s an endless list of toys that I could make full use of. I’m a capably person and I quickly outgrow less capable toys when exploring my interest so if I decide to go down a road I know it’s going to hurt financially. I need to be very

South Carolina is totally gay. Driving through on my way back to Georgia I was afraid to stop and eat. Thankfully my GPS was able to locate a Hooters where I Thought could dine with my own kind only to find mostly women eating there. Myself and the only other two guys in there huddled at the bar eating our chicken wings. At first we felt totally gay but then we started to think that this aint so bad, our stock has be way up in this town. :HOT: &n

Reply to The First Secular Crusade- Part 1 in World War II Stardock Forums

We are not born with morals, this has been scientifically proven by a few very immoral acts. There have been cases where children were raised with little to no human contact even kept in cages. The ones that are rescued never develop the same sense of right and wrong that we have. For obvious reasons we cannot repeat this but it does show that we learn morality after birth. We are born completely dependent on others for our survival and learn very soon what we lik

I think is a great idea.

There’s no thought whatsoever about how bad something is for you, taste, and you making out of the parking lot alive are the only considerations, and that’s wrong.

I Demand Quality Display Drivers in Vista Hardware JoeUser Forums

What is it about display drivers that cause so many problems? I can’t remember ever having a major problem with any other hardware driver except video. Are they really that much more complicated than a chip set or sound card driver to get right. Most all of all my BSOD, hard lockups and general crashes I've had were caused by display drivers. Is there a petition I can sign demanding quality display drivers for the masses? Tech support has got to be killing

There really is no cure but the worst thing you can do is lay around, that can make you feel off for a second day. If I go out Friday and then lay around Saturday, Sunday I still feel off. Go to work, and if your off get out and sweat, no matter how bad you feel.

He should never have told you “it looks like the cancer has spread into your brain” without consulting an oncologist first. Proper procedure for a GP woul
