By: ex3vious. on 26 May 12, 20:10:47 you assume i show no respect to atheists after saying i respect Penn. You are the arrogant type of atheist im talking about, saying I can give no shred of evidence for my beliefs, you haven't even meet me. apparently that is the problem with people like me, because all Christians are the same stupid and arrogant. Seriously? man, way to ruin it for other atheists who actually want to have an intelligent conversation about the existence of God. That quote does not ...

Well the question ... By: MultiKronblom. on 26 May 12, 17:07:47 Well the question is how much respect do you show to atheists? Probably none, that is the problem with people like you, you demand respect but are not willing to show that yourself even though you can not give any shred of evidence of your beliefs.

By: FryderykFChopin. on 26 May 12, 12:59:11 'Also our eyes, how do we see Does that not seem like magic 2? u'. First of all, whether it 'seems' like magic is irrelevant.

By: Bey0ndDeath. on 26 May 12, 12:35:02 Multiverse is not accepted by much scientist so it can not be arugue'd about in this case, and yes you are right these are all hypotheses but wouldn't it make sense to say there was a creater out there that made everything?

The observable universe had a beginning but what if big bangs are just occasional happenings in a multiverse that goes on ad infinitum. Again, these are only hypotheses. How is poof magic, or? God did it, the best explanation.

There is one main reason: he mentioned August 5th or 6th depending on time zone. Many of these talks only refer to the United States, but this one took away that feeling? that the US believes they are more important than the rest of the world by using those few words.

By: wpk5009. on 26 May 12, 12:51:40 Technology leads to socialism, it's as simple as that. Capitalism's endgame is the need for socialism. The solution is not to? bitch about how jobs are being taken away, but to shift the focus of the population to other issues that were pushed aside before. With technology taking care of the problems we've worked hard at for generations, we will be free to make our humanity, nature and science our main issues.

By: TheWtfffffffffffffff. on 19 May 12, 01:41:09 Exactly, even if the bullshit the guy in the video is talking about works, and if everyone starts to follow that thinking, no wonder a lot of those who have that thinking might be successful. 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. What this guy says is good for average people to feel content. This is derogatory to progress.

By: Scribemo. on 26 May 12, 05:37:39 Hitler did, if you deny that, you deny his "Mein Kempf" and, yes, the part of his speeches where he said it. If you or I heard that shit, we'd hit the high-road. The Nazis said they were gonna do bad shit, and they did. The communists said they weren't going to do bad shit, and they did. The problem wasn't with the ideology, per se, it had to do with? the fact that they instituted it in a totalitarian fashion. Any social theory can be used for totalitarianism.Nazism only leads to it, though. I've worn hoodies ... By: Ioganstone. on 26 May 12, 04:14:48 I've worn hoodies and find them to get in my eyes and remove peripheral vision, as well as feel like an outsider. Same reasons apply to wearing sunglasses indoors. Also they dont cover my forehead like a hat would for warmth and are made of light materials usually. You're an exception or lying to save face for all those compensating to feel cool by wearing them. Also criminals are these types of people.? You're a kettle ...

The only reason I'm not a kettle too is because I came into this argument as a neutral third party. It seems I'm more kettle than I was when I started, though. I'm becoming more kettle by the minute.

Also, i bet you wear them with the hood down whereas perhaps Martin had his hood actually on and perhaps it wasn't cold either. Also, you dont ask "why does the book dress that way" as much? as a person does. The clothes people wear are much more symbolic with other people who dress that way than pictures on a book are with other books. Clothes can be changed, unlike race. I don't own a hat, ... By: Bitte0rca. on 26 May 12, 03:21:42 I don't own a hat, but I have hella hoodies. Should I not wear them cause some people think its evil? This argument is like arguing about judging someone based on the color of their skin, but way more dumb. I'm taking the side of "don't judge a book by its cover," you are taking the side of "the cover says a lot about the book." Both are good arguments, but the cover of a book says a lot more about a book? than an article of clothing does a person. So you'll explain ... By: Ioganstone. on 26 May 12, 03:07:24 So you'll explain away those who wear hoodies as shy but demonize other people's interpretations. Is there evidence of all hoody wearers being shy and cold? hoodies are the most socially acceptable wear that make you near anonymous, who would exploit that? criminals and douchebags.. same who wear sunglasses indoors. Honestly, someone wearing a hoody at 7pm on the street is the same as someone wearing a hat to keep warm? At least? you'll see your view isn't 100% right Illegal immigrant.. ...

By: Bitte0rca. on 26 May 12, 02:50:40 Ok it sounded pretentious. sorry, it wasn't my intention. I was just making? you aware of a flaw i saw in your approach, so I tried making you aware of it as best as I could. so it pisses you off when they can see you, but you can't see them. Perhaps sometimes people wear hoodies as a sort of defence mechanism due to a fear of public places. or because their head is cold, or they have a bad haircut they are embarrassed about. And I'm an athiest too, not that it pertains to the subject. No I'm trying to ... By: Ioganstone. on 26 May 12, 02:40:22 No I'm trying to prove that I am more right than wrong. I know there's no 100% right and I'll demonstrate by saying you won't be able to identify a criminal in a hoodie? or burka, infringing on the rights of the ones who were robbed. Also, it pisses me off when people can see me but I cant see them. I'm atheist, you gonna make me into an agnostic instead? See, saying "You're still just trying to prove that you're right." is the most pretentious shit I ever heard. Hey Van Jones.... ... By: poindexterdick. on 26 May 12, 02:36:40 Hey Van Jones....It's the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT crowd, not the immigrant crowd. I don't know how your grandparents got here, but my Grandparents came over from Scottland by the LEGAL MEANS in place at that time.? Conservatives aren't anti-immigration. They are anti=ILLEGAL immigration. BIG DIFFERENCE. The color of the immigrant doesnt matter. It's the way they immigrate here. Kevin Ryan: Outsourcing Talent in the Land of the Free?

It's not? for everyone.

Any human can ... By: MadameMoonshadow. on 22 May 12, 06:54:30 Any human can overcome base impulses if they WANT to. If men have non-monogamous urges to produce as many of their OWN offspring as possible then that function applies only to hetero males. Any LGBT or non-breeder hetero would thus "evolutionarily" either need not be promiscuous? at all nor produce sperm/eggs at all & would have to = "abnormal" because genetically we need not exist at all.
