The discussion on Albert Einstein's agnosticism/atheism got me thinking: Can anyone name a single great scientist of any time period who also enthusiastically practiced religion? I'm referring to people of the caliber of Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Galileo, Copernicus, Pythagoras, Newton...

I know people who have gotten runner jobs on the floor by just handing out a resume to every major firm at the Merc/CBOE/CBOT. Running orders is how I got my start. You'll meet alot of the right people that way.

****I still remember the exact same scare tactics being used in the '70's, only then we were facing the ugly reality of a new Ice Age. Anyone who opposed this certain threat was either a tool of corporate interests or a fool. The scientific community had reached a consensus! If we didn't all...

If Ann's BJ's are sodomy, she's probably doing it wrong:D

As you know, us atheists are extremely skeptical of anything smelling like pseudo-science...but I think NLP has some merrit. Remember the bubble era Ameritrade commercial in the yoga class? ("I'm on a sandy beach" ..."I'm off the beach, I'm trading stocks!") Remember how the Yoga...

Wow, no joke. That picture clearly shows that Alou would have certainly made the catch if not for this jackass getting in the way. Drunken Chicago Cubs fans are the closest thing you'll find to European soccer hooligans on this side of the pond. Interference Boy might stilll be the target of...

"Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic [orgy of] freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived...Suspicion against every...

Ugh. That was the first baseball game I cared enough to watch in years. Tommorow's game may be the last for the next few years...

I hope Silk & the others succeed in getting all your money out. Money sitting in my Echo account is safe though, right?

While mysticism has nothing at all to offer me, just keep in mind that religion can be good for millions of weak minded people. Irrational mystical beliefs (=any religion) can serve a valid beneficial purpose. To many people, a false sense of purpose feels much better than no sense of...

No, Al Gore invented drugs.

****Your not getting it. The black market will always make it better and cheaper. If Merck got into the crack business it will cost them a lot more money to research, develope, market and sell the crack. Not to mention all the gov't channels and regulatory procedures. Jimmy just gets his shit...

***Come on man, nobody wants to be labeled a pot head. Just like a woman doesn't want to be labeled a whore or a guy an alcoholic. Face it, we label people in society. And yes, people would be embarrassed. *** Are you forgetting about the Internet? Mail order crack n' smack beats the current...

...and I feel the exact OPPOSITE. Since when is it the government's job to protect us from ourselves by spending billions of our tax dollars incarcerating millions of innocent political prisoners? The legitimate role of government is to protect people from criminals who would violate their...

Exactly! "Racism is the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism" ~Ayn Rand

All the 'offended' liberal protesters should get a thank-you card from the creators of this game. Who could ask for a better source of free advertising? From USA TODAY: WASHINGTON — "I love black people," comedian Chris Rock says in one of his best-known routines. "But I hate niggers...

****btw, i'm with axeman, at this point, i don't plan on having kids and i'm definitely not getting married.**** That's what I thought too. Married almost one year now. What if you find someone who meets all your desires,puts up with all your shit, and lets you get some hot action on the...

No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness. ~Aristotle

I can often genuinely identify with GG's posts. I'm not hesitant to disclose my age (29), but I don't like to 'give too much away' and let myself be stereotyped. I have a Jewish last name, and I've been toying with the idea of changing it, because it just gives too much information to...

***Limit bores me to death. Very little oppurtunity for creativity. *** Yeah, why is the most boring game (limit hold 'em) also the most popular game? I only play NL/PL hold 'em, limit Omaha H/L & limit stud H/L. Have visited Harrah's Indiana & Foxwoods CT. only to find that they have no...
