    Rover has made it!!

    Rover has survived the descent into Mars atmosphere and also the parachute and bounce procedures. It just sent a "hello!" back home to Earth. Woo hoo! Go Nasa! Hope Rover doesn't pop a tire riding over Beagle's pieces.

    Interesting CBOE story

    Sometimes half the game is finding out when you have a sure way to beat the system -- or just let the system "break." http://www.indystar.com/articles/6/107783-9566-092.html

    Interesting CBOE story

    Do you know this woman personally out of curiosity? Is it one of those kinds of people where you'd always kinda suspected might do something like that? Obviously some people trusted her to take the tickets down -- but perhaps they all assumed that the likelihood of having a winning ticket was...

    I don't think you can say that sexual promiscuity = immoral behavior. Perhaps it isn't condoned by the church, but at our deepest level, we are just a bunch of sexual beings that want to spread our genes. :)

    In the eyes of an atheist, I don't quite understand why they place any significance in life. Once you kill god, you kill purpose. There is no purpose without god -- there is no order once the chaos drowns the universe in entropy. I've heard humanist arguments that there is still purpose...

    marriage and government

    Regardless of any "innate" feelings, what you "feel" and "think" best serve you or your fellow man has been passed down by your parents, their parents, etc. However, there is no "innate" morality in anyone. Nobody is born with a basic moral compass -- that is created through environment...

    I did not say that. People will do whatever they believe best serves them, their immediate family and their "pack." If there weren't any laws, what would stop you from stealing from a store when you knew you could get away with it? Because it "felt wrong?" Why does it "feel wrong?"...

    They do that in a lot of cultures, just not the Western ones. One of the great things I love about Amsterdam is that showing posters of naked people in the streets is very accepted. It is the "puritan" influence in American culture that has caused a very strict and conservative view of...

    Atheism is simply a form of spiritual sickness that each atheist needs to discover and deal with for themself. Atheism is a personal choice to distance oneself from god (or the source) that finds its cause from some deeper psychological pain or condition. Atheists are simply in a state of...

    If one will not answer to God, then they must still answer to the state. Whether one does not kill because he is afraid of punishment from his or her god or whether he or she fears the repurcussions of his or her actions when viewed by the state, morality is then reduced to a byproduct from...

    I'll never forget the time that guy stole a tank in California and just went down residential streets running over lexus', BMW's, light poles, trucks, etc. Obviously, what he did was bad but I think everyone could, at one time or another, sympathize with how he felt that day. It must be an...
