exactly! those freakin islamic fundie war mongers most certainly need to remove their blinkers and start tolerating other cultures! i couldn't have put it better.

They, if anyone had better start 'dealing with it' here, i think it's you. i noticed you completely ignored my post that debunks the necessity of the universe being caused. i suppose that helps you sleep easier. stop talking about that eastern philosophy crap, and start giving some...

What do you guys think? Zboy's probably the most unresponsive moderator here; and on, arguably, the most important subtopic, Trading. You can start a topic under Trading that has nothing to do with trading and it'll drag for days without anything being done. Just look at the latest mr...

aphie, it doesn't make sense to talk about the Universe as being 'created' or 'caused'. here's why: all our experiences with creation and causation require there to have been some kind of material existence prior to the creation/causation. 'before' the universe, there was nothing --...

ahh, william james, so that's where you're lifiting all this stuff from. well, i suppose willy was a lot better than then your run of the mill christian apologist... still, it reads more like a crutch for christians to lean on than any objectively compelling reasoning (which is, i...

where's the history problem toby? the british were never in India? (and msfe is from swizterland... ) btw, facts aside, that was a fiendishly funny song! :D

i'm not anti-arab... i'm not anti-any racial group... (and i'm not pro-any racial group either..) and although i'm certainly anti-islam, because the vast majority of muslims don't follow it to the letter, i certainly don't let the fact that someone might be a muslim affect my judgement to any...

Corso, it's not only that God's expectations of us believing in him are downright unreasonable, but he even has the nerve to eternally punish us for it! sheesh! what a great guy...

oh cool! now there's a way all the religionites can get along... nicely put! (as long belief in such a supreme being is, er, how shall i put it, optional (:D), i have no problem with that. i'm happy for you boys!) i suppose if i was strectched, i could even use that explanation to...

95 was more the start of the last bull surge (to '00)... (rather than 94)... so using the spoos 'normal' growth of about 5.75% pa ('60-'95), puts them at about 600 by my calc... and if its 'correction' overshoots a little, 480 would be a distinct possibility... not pretty... then...

well, it's obvious you're just kidding around candle, but i'll just say, depending on where in america you live, i'd imagine i'm a virtual lock to have known way more greeks, italians and arabs than you. so i probably a somewhat more qualified opinion than you. nice to see defending your...

They, let me ask you? Do you KNOW this stuff? is this objective FACT? if so, HOW did you come to know it (or how did the people that 'discovered' it come to know it?) if by 'faith' alone, please enlighten us on precisely why you think Faith is a valid cognitive procedure. or, would you be...

have you ever been here candle? if not, how can you comment? i have lived here for many years. my best friends were arabs. i have met and spoken to arabs in the numbers of, probably, the low to mid hundreds. that's a sizeable enough sample to draw statistical inferences from. the vast...

re Arabs being bullshit artists: i can honestly say that in australia, in sydney and melbourne, the arabs (mostly lebanese and egyptian (and the turks too)) are (in)famous for bragging and bullshitting (about how tough they are, how many girls they pick up, how good their cars are, who they...

aren't France permanent security council because of their military power? (their record in 20th century warfare notwithstanding..)

LOL. i can't stand that schmuk. i can't stand any of those schmuks

not even close. one of the religion debates went to 2000.

LOL. hilarious! (well, it would be if it wasn't so tragic..) there's another one for the UN blooper reel... i'm not an american, but my dad's a us citizen. am i allowed to comment on this thread? if so, i'd have to agree with some of what bung' said. the idea of invading iraq having...

hey Optional, where can i get me one of those get-out-of-debate-free cards? :D so tell us, what are "the right things" that it is always 'valuable' (<- subjective term) to have faith in? since it's pretty unlikely that you'll answer the above question, and even more unlikely that the...

:D i'm sure traderfut must be overjoyed to see Likud back in power... what a clear message to the palestinians though -- terror tactics will not be tolerated! (and let's not forget the palestinians started this crap back in 2000, before Sharon came to power..) rs7, too bad buddy, i...
