Which since people thought that about Obama too, made it awkward (Course, Obama DID pick him..). Couple that with the fact that hes an unapologetic racist, eco-nut, and ultra-partisan wingnut...

By: FDASARO. on 25 May 12, 06:19:22 Right.? Obviously a simple supply and demand graph cannot explain the many intricacies and dynamics of global markets. My basic argument was that demand/consumption is more influential than supply but I agree with your points on market access. I think the real ... By: Scribemo. on 25 May 12, 05:41:03 I think the real issue(supply and demand aside) is market access. If I have market access(both in terms of buying and selling)my prospects and activity greatly differ from those who do not,or at least have restricted access. This is an issue of regulations,geography,technological levels (transportation and communication),currency(kind),money(amount),education,language,age,race and gender.The number of things that feed into market? access are astounding I'd argue it's much more important. But,in terms of ... By: Scribemo. on 25 May 12, 05:36:12 But,in terms of food, for instance,the US exports (in the form of food aid) food? to poorer nations,destroying local food production and increasing dependence on US dumpings/aid.This is also true for second hand clothing,which damages local production. This is an issue of 'supply' for the host country:the supply is artificially heightened,and the price is artificially decreased to virtually zero.It could almost be a case for protectionism,which is why there are international anti-dumping laws. I think you could ... By: Scribemo. on 25 May 12, 05:30:45 I think you could read this example as supporting either argument. I see it as being a trouble of perceiving demand incorrectly and over-compensating by increasing the supply of ice-skates, selling them below cost. One could, however, see this as a supply issue: the supply was diverted from areas where it should be in higher quantities,? and market-activity suffered as a result. To give a bit to ... By: Scribemo. on 25 May 12, 05:27:08 To give a bit to the discussion, I remember a case-study on Wal-Mart that went ike this: Wal-Mart expanded to Mexico, and kept their automatic inventory tracking system from North America. They had a problem because they had an over-abundance of ice-skates and other such climate-useless items, but were selling them below price? in sales to get rid of them. This meant the system automatically bought more, and they too had to be sold below market price. Ya, sorry about ... By: Scribemo. on 25 May 12, 05:19:48 Ya, sorry about that.

By: FDASARO. on 25 May 12, 05:06:52 I saw your reply in my inbox but can't find? it on the video. Where supply and demand cross is the equilibrium price. Price level is represented by the y-axis. It tends to move towards but is not contingent on being at the equilibrium intersection of the S&D curves.

By: leconfidant. on 22 May 12, 08:03:07 Falsifiability is an excellent benchmark for certain parts of the scientific process. It's a bit crap for poliitics and history, as it's a clumsy way of handling values. It's superficial in the arts. Nobody wrote Hamlet by testing hypotheses. And how do you falsify maths or logic?

The manifestation of God that's doing the creating? Second manifestation of the God Head, the office of "the Christ" aka Jesus. So if some guy (God) wanted to make a universe, He wouldn't have to actually enter? that universe Himself. He WOULD have to DL information and personality into a physical being capable of existing in that universe. What about using His own? Well agnostics do ... By: AMilitantAgnostic. on 22 May 12, 01:11:09 Well agnostics do not out right dismiss the potential for a 3rd party influence on the existence of the universe or life. While we say that, we also add that even if there is such a 3rd party, man is incapable of knowing that 3rd party.

I can go along with that. However; I don't concur with the notion? that it should provoke anger... Contempt, but not anger. I still think that people have it in them to learn better.

But the obvious part is that most of them won't because success is fucking relative. In Sudan, for most people getting to eat once every two days is success, in America that is shit for most people.

I think that is the population that makes up majority of modern religions. However, they don't feel the need (or perhaps they don't? have an easy way) to disassociate themselves from the evangelicals. This may be the reason that they tend to support the evangelicals when there is a contest with religious evangelicals on one side and rationalist on the other. The census report ...

We are taught from an early age, by peers, not to tattle at risk of ostracization; keeping something in confidence is a virtue, when it's strictly personal.

By: ropisfun. on 11 May 12, 07:48:58 If you don't snitch and "betray that person's trust", then you're betraying the trust of the person who's being wronged by the person you aren't snitching on.

In fact, if someone is doing something wrong that I'm now a witness to then they're potentially putting me in? harms way with them, they're no friend of mine.

Would you still force her to have that baby? Unless the foetus can survive outside the mother's womb, it's not. It's a parasite. A seed is not a flower.

What a stupid position. The foetuses are not people. As long as a foetus cannot? survive outside its mother's body it's quite literally a parasite. It's a ball of cells, and no woman should be forced to carry it if she does not want to. A seed is not a flower. If you were to preserve one of the two, would you not preserve the flower?

Unless it's a rape or she absolutely cannot afford the baby (and if she can get benefits it doesn't count) abortions should be illegal.Why do YOU hate freedom? You deny these babies their right to? life. Maybe abortions should be legal while the egg is still an egg. Not a foetus, not a person. A foetus is a person, It can feel pain and has all the functions of a human being. Before this develops, perhaps abortions are tolerable. You clearly despise ... By: AsifIcarebear3. on 18 May 12, 00:06:39 You clearly despise freedom and want legislation to trample all over a woman's uterus.

No. Not if it's a rape child, not if she got drunk and pregnant, not if it was planned and she changed her mind. Tell me, why do you hate freedom so? you clearly read ...

By: TheTexanCanadian. on 25 May 12, 16:12:48 1) Don't mix up rejection of "God" as in a specific theistic god, with a hypothetical creator of the universe. If someone says they know "God" exists and an atheist does not agree, that's based on the qualities attributed to that god. 2) You're mixing up what I said. Agnosticism means you have no knowledge of a god's existence. Atheism means you have no faith in a god's existence. Theists have faith but no knowledge that their god exists, and are therefore also agnostic.? You just said it? ... By: vikingWindmill. on 25 May 12, 16:08:36 You just said it? yourself. An agnostic is NOT SURE if God or other gods exist. We think that it is unknown, or worse - unknowable. It's not just "I don't believe in God" like atheists. It's something between faith and lack of faith. I frequently ask myself big, and brobably unanswerable questions about us and the universe, not just make bold statements like "God doesn't exist, the universe doesn't need a creator, you're delusional".

For a Theist to believe religious doctrine he/she must or should be somewhat gnostic about the supernatural claims therein... otherwise they are hedging their bets on their faith.

Agnosticism is the assertion that god is unknowable or cannot be known and that is why an agnostic can't answer? yes or no when asked about god's existence. However, if you are merely skeptical of the god claim, then by default you are an atheist because you lack a belief in a god. An atheist is only defined by their lack of belief, NOT the reason for their disbelief. A person can be an atheist because they assert god isn't real, or because they are skeptical.   Golf Related Videos Golf Tournaments - Pga Tour - Golf Vacations - Golf Equipments - Golf Clubs - Golf Carts - Golf Balls - Golf Galaxy - Callaway Golf You like it?
