quote:Oh, and Charles Don't scare me like that. That phrase usually precedes a rant or a stern talking to. quote:it's not that I really worry about what the UN or the world thinks, I just believe that the United States - as a sovereign nation should afford other nations the same respect and accountability that we expect for ourselves.Exactly right I think. I could argue that you seemingly contradict yourself though. If you (the US) didn't care what others (other coutries) think you wouldn't give them that respect. Not worth arguing though. . Wars start over misunderstandings smaller than that.

quote:P.S. These posts are getting ridiculously long, I typed this out in word before I posted it and it was well into the eighth page.Hehe, perhaps if ya'll quit quoting quotes. You really should read the Bible Dragon Lady. It's got sex, murder, war, and a bunch of other really nasty stuff. quote:Well, a lot of people do take Genesis literally, and science has proven that the oldest life on the planet was around 4 or 5 billion years ago (through carbon dating I believe).If the Seven Day Creationists are right God's got one heckuva sense of humor throwing all those old bones around. Don't know if you are aware but Sodomy comes from the biblical story of Sodom and Gomorrha (spelling?). Not to insult if you already knew.

$ilk, I agree with you. "Going after" Saddam without the support of our world peers would be nothing more than vigilante justice. I can't do that as a person; neither should the US do it as a country. Whether it's right or wrong is about to become a moot point because as you guys were busy arguing (and I was busy reading) Bush HAS gone to congress for approval, Bush HAS gone to the UN to make his case. I may not like the thought of it but I admit he's at least doing it the right way. There's other things floating around but this is going right.

Glad to see everyone wandered in. That's it for now.

Looking forward to Firefly and Haunted. All the criminal stuff I don't like much. Some of the others look interesting, hope I see a trailer. [ 09-19-2002, 07:51 PM: Message edited by: Charles Lindsey ]

quote:The egg of course, after all there were eggs long before there were chickens. Exactly.

Hmmm. I think he was being modest. I likes a lot of the robot stuff. It's been forever since I read Foundation Empire but I thought that was good too. But yes there is an idea in that particular story I suggested. Wanted to see a reaction to it. it's an interesting thought.

I know exactly what it is. You forgot to sacrifice a dead chicken, wear underwear backwards on your head, and hook up a Barbie doll to a 9 volt battery.

Good discussion so far. I invite everyone to read a short story by Isaac Asimov titled "The Last Question." It'll make ya think.

quote:So, any comments about my 3rd or 4th post with all the different points? [Jumps up and down waving arms.] Second (third?) to last post first page. See it? Feedback important this time. To answer the three post directly above churches offer a sense of fellowship, community, and ritual. Some people, probably lots, find comfort in the ritual of church. If you find you don't need that then that's ok I think.

quote:Agnosticism is the belief that no church has the power to be between you and god. I do not believe that any church is the go between. That is why I said I am agnostic. You obviously think that being agnostic somehow does not ackowledge god, when in fact it is the exact opposite.I wouldn't mind knowing where you got that definition. That is not how Webster's defines it. " a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) is unknown and prob. unknowable; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god " Not to nitpick but..... that belief is fine just I think calling it agnostic is somewhat incorrect. No flames meant at all. quote:Aren't the mods the zealots anyway?For BCM? Sure! quote:Anyway, lets talk about life! Stick with whatever you decide. Ever heard slow and steady wins the race? I think it's good you are asking these questions now rather than when you are twenty five. Go to college if you possibly can. That is one of my biggest regrets that I did not finish my education. Your basic plan youposted above sounds good. Stick with it.

quote:I hope you are all enjoying your Labor Day weekend so far, as I am! Seem to be. Will let ya know when I'm done with it.

After a month off (you ought to say thanks , or shame on me.) it's time for Septemeber Roll call. So 'fess up.

That's truly frightening. Sounds like some of my adventures. I have a theorem about this kind of stuff. "It's broke anyway and ya can't hurt it no worse." So just throw crud at it till it either chokes or finds something it likes and starts working. hehe.

Sunscreen, Light colored clothing, Shorts, tank tops. hehe, Not only are you in for culture shock you are in for environmental shock!

He started the new one when Yahoo took over the geocities one. quote:Originally posted by Supreme Cmdr: The first step is to remove it from the ring and then I'll have tripod kill the site for copyright infringements. Simple stuff really. So, when its removed from the ring, let me know and its as good as gone.I'm sure he will.

I hate this. The more it bubbles around in my head the more "subtle hacker" becomes familiar. And since Laracuente points out that a date on the page says 5/24/02 makes it even worse. I'm sure Jaguar has the original details.

Ughhh. "Subtle hacker" ?? Speaks volumes to me. Just like when people used to register here with names like bcsucks@hotmail and whatnot. And it is quite subtle. Only when someone caught the mention of Multiplay was it decided that the page was a troll. No one has noticed it till now. Jag started this thread on 08/04/02 and says the ring contains 18 sites. Since the page under discussion is the 18th site listed (id 26) I'm assuming it has been around since 08/04/02. Very subtle indeed. Bravo. Clap, clap. Now go away if you are a troll. (not you Laracuente . whoever made that page)

There is a poll over at ve3d.com that includes BAttlecruiser Generations.

Ziff Davis avoids Chapter 11 (reuters) "Ziff Davis, whose technology magazines have been among the hardest-hit by the advertising slump, said in a statement that 95.1 percent of its bondholders had accepted an exchange offer for their notes, after the company extended the offer several times in an attempt to meet a 95 percent consent target. The company also secured an amended and restated credit agreement with its lenders. Etc., Etc." Hope they make it.

I was waiting on Hector to come by and say something.

http://www.villainsupply.com/ Typo in the link. I'm not much for spoofs but some of that is funny. I like the category misc. evil and I especially like evilrealtor.com "Lairs, hideouts, secret bases, fortresses, islands, satellites." Hehe.

quote:I think I'd slow down after a 12 billion mile journey too!!! Mike has it right I think. That article was poor compared to the one I saw in Yahoo news. (AP or Reuters forget which) That article expanded on the premise that it may only matter on huge scales and that a local scale (our solar system) it may matter very little if at all. I can accept that very old light would slow down and newly created light travels at the speed that has been calculated.
