Pope: Sex can become 'like a drug'
Sorry, it's just too funny taking the phrase "Sex is like a drug", then applying it to all the different ways people take drugs (needles, snorting, etc.). You get some really weird mental pictures. (May 10, 2008 | post #2)
On the forum where I come from (Gamespot System Wars), this has been done to death, and a fairly unanimous conclusion has been reached. However, I want to see what you guys think. (May 8, 2008 | post #1)
If You Were Stranded and Could Only Have Three Things...
Sorry, but the I-Pod and Laptop wouldn't work because of the amount of magical fall-out. They said so in the fourth book. (May 8, 2008 | post #7)
If You Were Stranded and Could Only Have Three Things...
I'd like to be stranded in a library that contains every book ever published. As to what I'd want with me? A sleeping bag, a Segway (that would be a really big library), and nourishment. (May 8, 2008 | post #6)
What about Unintelligent Design?
Lets make it more realistic. Go somewhere completely obscure. Scatter two puzzles out. Start putting pieces together, one by one, at complete random. If the pieces don't fit, take them apart, if they do fit, leave them. As for representing Intelligent Design, see if some obscure force from nowhere assembles the other puzzle. Evolution and Intelligent Design aren't a race, they're an either/or, and only one actually has evidence supporting it. (May 8, 2008 | post #10)
School board rescinds intelligent design policy
Actually, it's Pastafarianism that says that their deity, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, scrambled up the evidence. ;) (Apr 1, 2008 | post #294)
Pikachu raichu road to evolution ep 542
I saw the title of that episode for weeks now, because I spend a lot of time doing research on base stats and move-sets. I hope that he finally evolves it, because the excuse that let Pikachu beat Raichu is no longer a problem, because Pikachu has had time to learn all the different moves. At the same time, Raichu is one of my favorite Pokémon. Honestly, I wouldn't be that surprised if Pikachu evolved, because lately in the series, Ash and Friends have had a lot less "cute starters", and they've been evolving more. (Apr 1, 2008 | post #21)
Religious groups go dark for Earth Hour 2008
My family did that, and now we're thinking about doing it every week. However, I pointed out that it was a little ironic to be burning so many candles and so much fire-wood. (Apr 1, 2008 | post #30)
Obama, "Babies are punishment, similar to an STD!"
Most definitely the latter. But perhaps, in hindsight, she might realize that she didn't want to get pregnant in the first place. Like I said, "Punishment " isn't a very good term. But it's true that a pregnancy is very often something that people definitely don't want to happen. (Apr 1, 2008 | post #12)
Creation first and then evolution.
Are you being sarcastic, or are you actually serious? Keep in mind, if you're serious, what you're lauding is Creationism, not Intelligent Design. (Apr 1, 2008 | post #13)
Creation first and then evolution.
Because we all know that there has only been two types of airplanes and one type of spacecraft in history. /sarcasm. Change happens in little steps. My friend has a dog with six toes on each foot (or maybe just it's back/front paws?). This isn't unusual for the breed, it's actually a trait of the breed. They were bred for agility and mountain climbing, and the extra claws help them grip. This is a species of dog that is very different functionally from other species. You're going to say that that's not evidence of evolution? (Apr 1, 2008 | post #9)
Obama, "Babies are punishment, similar to an STD!"
I'm not saying babies are punishment, but that doesn't mean that a fourteen year old wants to end up pregnant. Teen-agers don't go "Let's have a baby" They're reasoning follows more along the lines of "Lets do this because it feels good, Oh **** she's pregnant" The "Oh ****" should show why it could be considered punishment. However, I don't feel punishment is the most suitable term. A better term would be repercussion. So, in no ways are babies a punishment. However, UNPLANNED pregnancies could definitely be considered a bad thing. (Apr 1, 2008 | post #4)
Dawkins Crashes 'Expelled' Party
Intelligent design, if it claims to be scientific in origin, crumbles in an instant to the "Who created the creators" question. Therefore, if intelligent design is dropped, and replaced with creationism, it is plausible, but only in the same sense as Russel's Teapot, because God cannot be, in any way, disproven, other than the fact that the concept is ridiculous. Evolution is the only theory with real and progressive evidence backing it. (Apr 1, 2008 | post #12)
The Theory of Evolution is Worthless
The O.P. (original post) doesn't truly show an understanding of evolution. It shows it as the theory of the blind watch-maker, which is not how evolution works. This theory disregards natural selection, and survival of the fittest. No, a whole eye didn't just evolve by itself, but a single type of cell that can detect light and dark... that's very likely. At the same time, a similar organism has a cell that mutates so that it can glow. In certain environments, this would be very useful, (just look at squids), but in an environment like under a rock, a cell that could detect if the rock was removed would be more useful, so the creature with the light sensing cell scuttles away and survives, while the creature with the glowing cell is quickly seen and eaten. This is how natural selection works, and why the idea of the blind watch-maker is false. And if you want proof of evolution, just look at a toy poodle, and mentally stand it next to a wolf.

School board rescinds intelligent design policy
The reason that science is often found to be wrong or inaccurate is because scientists are constantly striving for new answers. Religion, by contrast, hides from evidence or proof, in favour of holding to obsolete ideas. Science is only ever proved wrong by new science, and because a good scientist never says to himself "That must be how it works". A good scientist is always willing to look into new things, and trying to find more detail and greater meaning. (Mar 31, 2008 | post #288)
