I wanted to be there... AronRa stole my hat...

They have the correct information, they don't care about the correct information unless it agrees with their political agenda. They knowingly and intentionally lie to deceive people and then claim to be a news network...

While I do deplore such violent imagery it is indeed just that but saying a young girl is a slut because she uses birth control is a little different. I might say I hate so and so so much I'd like to rip his head off and shit down his neck but that reflects my own insanity and doesn't show anything about the person I hate to much. But if I call some one a slut with no evidence other than they are on birth control that is another matter. . Fox News is nothing but a propaganda mouth piece of the Republican party, they lie and misrepresent the truth in anyway possible as long as it agrees with them the end justifies the means... This is off topic i think btw.

Then he should call his rants opinions instead of claiming they are true. Again, I was talking about a "NEWS" Channel that purports to report reality, not some insane assholes personal blog. You like everyone else is entitled to your own opinion but not your own reality...

Rush Limbaugh is entitled to all the free speech he wants, I never suggested he be censored but he is a lair...

yes i do enjoy giving out pos rep, I like to encourage people, neg rep is not something I enjoy but sometimes after giving evidence of what ever someone is asserting is wrong gets tiring to do over and over and over neg rep is a good way to show it and let off a little bit of steam in the process. I know that when i get neg rep it gets my attention quickly, I look carefully at the post I got neg rep on to see what I did wrong, i take neg rep far more seriously than pos rep. I vote for three a day... oops I forgot this is not a democracy Possibly only people with a certain minimum positive reputation should get extra neg reps to hand out?

May i ask why neg rep is so limited? Only one generally results in wanting to save it for the worst posts but once you read past a bad post and go to others to make sure there isn't another really bad post you get side tracked and don't go back. Or sometimes you give a neg rep and then find another post that is worse. i think we should have at least 3 neg reps a day. Having said that I give out pos rep quite a bit, i like to encourage those who are giving it good go. I run out of pos rep regularly...

I think it can be asserted that morality is due to rational thought combined with empathy. If you understand that an action is not something you would have done to you then rationally you wouldn't do it. Morality is not complex to me, simply do not do anything to others you would not want done to you.

Naw, it was me...

Young fellas, LMAO All you are doing is cross referencing the Bible, I'll say it again, the bible cannot be evidence to prove it's self.

Do you have any evidence of a virgin birth in humans? Can you show any evidence of this? Do you have any evidence that heaven exists? Musical proselytizing is not allowed either...

That you don't have a clue as to what your own holy book says. How about actually reading it, not the small palatable bits given out in Sunday school, read it from cover to cover, read what it says, don't let some juju man tell you what it means. Read it and see what a psychopath God really is. I am really tired of having to show people what the bible says, I can guide you to several youtube videos made by people who know what they are talking about give the scripture for things like murder, genocide, rape , pillage, child molestation, all demanded by god. And Moses never existed the Jews were never slaves in Egypt and wondering around for 40 years in a desert that can be walked in a couple weeks is just plain silly.

I honestly think that life will form spontaneously on any planet that forms, I think it was Thomas Gold that said that life was a natural aspect of the formation of almost any world. He suggested that any body in the solar system that had liquid water would probably have life and at some point all planets have liquid water, how long it actually takes life to develop is the $64,000 question. Mars, three moons of Jupiter and the larger moons of the outer planets almost certainly have water and life. On many bodies of the solar system under the crust exist liquid water and given water and enough time this means life. Even very cold planets like Pluto might have liquid water deep within them and therefor have the conditions for life. One of the small moons of Saturn, due to tidal stress, is not only shooting water out into space but complex organics as well. Some have suggested that life might form inside of comets but the internal conditions of comets is not well enough known to be sure. Given an earth like planet life almost certainly forms at some point in the evolution of the planet. that life might be snuffed out as conditions change but the conditions that exist on all planets big enough to hold an atmosphere at some point probably develop life. This idea suggests that life is just a naturally occurring chemical reaction that forms in places where there is an energy surplus and organic chemicals. Complex life is however something else, there are no primitive life forms on the earth, the first life on earth must have been much simpler than what we see today, even archea are vastly advanced compared to what the first life forms would have been. We look at bacteria and think primitive simple life forms but in fact bacteria are quite complex and advanced, not primitive. traces of life go back more than 3.8 billions years, this is just after the earth is thought to have cooled enough to allow liquid water. The swiftness of the development of life would indicate life forms easily and swiftly. Complex Eukaryota life took at least 1.5 to 2 billion years to develop, this might have been due to conditions on the earth not being conducive to complex life or it could be simply because it took that long to develop. http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v384/n6604/abs/384055a0.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_evolutionary_history_of_life http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromatolite The bacteria that form stromatolites had already developed photosynthesis almost 3.5 billion years ago.

What do i believe... I believe I'll have another beer...

zorro... The bible is not evidence of anything... It's a book written by bronze age people about the legends of gods that were believed at that time. Much of it can be shown not to be true, think about that, much of it is nothing but tall tails, most of it is just a rehash of other religions from that era. None of it can be shown to be true... none of it. Yes it does in some instances describe real places and maybe even some real people but the rest is fiction. It's no better than a novel written about aliens invading New York City and using real people places and events to make it look good, it cannot be supported by any evidence. If you have evidence that can be confirmed feel free to show it but to claim the bible as evidence of it's self is simply not going to fly...

No, a shot to the head in the proper place cannot not include pain, your link is about a firing squad, if your brain is destroyed before the pain impulses can get to it you feel no pain...

I don't know...

That is a concern, difficult to be sure, mostly i like porn made by ordinary people but that can be simulated as well... From my experience i would have to say that is true... on censorship

Consciousness is not life...

No i would not and i think it's appalling... You have yet to demonstrate that killing equals pain, a direct shot to the brain results in death with no pain, the brain cannot feel pain and the shot travels faster than pain impulses.. it is just not true that killing results in pain... As i have no idea of what the conditions your family keeps it's animals i cannot dispute that and yes veal is pathetic, i do not eat it ever... My spell checker wouldn't pick it up, i thought you had misspelled something I didn't recognize, thanks for the lesson in google... yes he does and totally unbiased too i bet... I think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this, i know i am not going to convince you and I know i am not going to be convinced, good luck with the rest of the world, i think i am quite liberal on this, very few others are...

My all time favorite singer and song, oh god where did 1976 go and why did it have to go so fast... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDwKuYWVMvo

Colbert is a comedian not a news commentator... if he hits too close to home then take it like you want but he is in the comedy business not the news business... Again not a news network... but i do like to watch fox news occasionally, if you are really up to date on the reality of what is going on, seeing them assert batshit crazy lies as the absolute truth is funny...

That is a problem but by definition to be alive it must be able to reproduce by a method that allows variation, anything else is just a complex chemical system... at least that's what I understand... Yes, i was loosely using the definition used by NASA but of course there are things on the edge that really don't fit...

No, in fact I do not, Fox Noise can be shown to quite deliberately lie continuously on many topics and twist the truth far past any recognition on most if not all others... I see no other net work do this... period... and it's not just an assumption because I disagree with them...
