I had two names. Why don't you come up with a few names then we can discuss.

Mathew 23:33"You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

I find such search for self-fulfilment in religious beliefs rather selfish. Is it God for me or me for God? Atheists tend to have much greater contribution to mankind than others, e.g., Darwin, Einstein.

I don't know about ancient atheists. Modern atheism seems to arise mostly as a reaction to the extremist religious influences on society. Christians may genuinely believe that their belief system can "grow, empower and uplift others." But just like absolute power, a religious belief without an...

Not by the same logic, unless you're logically challenged. I'm certain that if necessary, most of us would be willing to become a policeman, or a teacher. For the most part in this country, we do not have a shortage of either. We do have a shortage of military recruits today, due to an...

I admire your courage and your patience. But I take issue with two things that you said. 1. Top traders do not share their secrets here. 2. People view this thread not for their education, but for their entertainment. We now return to your regular program.

Yellow Elephant Anthony Mantova, National Field Director of the Leadership Institute, says that it's "hillbilly, intellectually vacant and morally repugnant that those who call for war must serve." http://operationyellowelephant.blogspot.com/...

I can care less about what Mel Gibson has to say, especially when he's drunk. The problem is not with me. It's with all those people who are obsessed with movie stars. Gibson is always at the center of attention no matter what. If you don't want Gibson to get all the attention, then don't pay...

Is Andrew Young running for a public office? If yes, then I'd say publicize it and let him suffer the consequences. If not, then what's the point? Private citizens make offensive comments all the time. They're not worth the media's attention. There are racial slurs on this board all the time...

Like I have said before, there is a scientific consensus that the earth is warming. These scientists do not dispute that. What is still being debated is whether there is sufficiant and clear scientific evidence that the warming trend is human factors. The science involved is very complex. The...

I cannot dispute that you worked for Byrd (but why did you do that?) However, you're confused about what we're arguing. Your original claim was that "conservatives" were leading the charge in the civil rights movement. You first named Newt Gingrich. But he was in college at the time and did...

You're just confused. Historically, when it comes to civil rights issues, Republican=liberal and Democrat=conservative. That started to change under JFK and LBJ, and Nixon. Nixon was very successful in turning to the southern conservative votes for a Republican coalition that built the...

Santa is NOT imaginary. Otherwise how do you explain the Christmas presents? Those are REAL presents! Jack and the Beanstalk is NOT imaginary. It had the goose that laid the golden eggs. That was told by Aesop. Aesop, being one of the greatest story tellers of all time, couldn't possibly just...

This is a joke, right? Trent Lott was a democrat at the time. He was one of those "antagonist" democrats who later switched party. From that article that you linked, you can read "You would be hard-pressed to find a single Republican in any Southern school of that era." Guess who were pushing...

You know, it's more important for a President to stick to his principles than being right. A president is like the driver of a bus. Would you prefer a driver that swings left and right so much that makes you puke, or one that drives directly off the cliff? "Stay the course."

Speaking of really dumb senators, how can one top this: Are Republicans trying to win the small appliances sold by Walmart votes?

Because they couldn't find the "ignore" button on their keyboard.:D

You're just lying through your teeth. Name those "conservatives" who were civil rights leaders. Newt Gingrich was in college and was not known to be involved. BTW, those "antagonists" democrats were people like Strom Thurman, Jesse Helms, and Richard Shelby. Guess whose party they eventually...

This is an outright lie. Newt Gingrich was a college student from 1961 to 1965, and a graduate student from 1966 to 1971. He was not involved in the civil rights movement in any significant way, if at all.

For most of (un)civilized human history, polygamy was a fact of life. However it was asymmetric since most societies did not grant women any rights. One man, one woman marriage definition was a critical step in achieving equality between men and women. Once that is achieved, people might decide...
