That's a great link. It really sums up my beliefs. I especially agree with the part about "evil" towards the end. The universe has always had the physics necessary to help us create medicine, technology, etc. It is only our own human nature to sometimes use these things in the wrong way...

I'd say most convictions are generated over time through experiences. Quite simply, we are merely the sum of all our experiences through life. However religion is different in that we formulate a lot of our opinions (or biases) based on how our parents brought us up. I was raised as...

There is insufficient information in which to base a hypothesis, therefore one should not extrapolate further knowledge from the original problem since producing information from possible misinformation breeds even more ignorance. Those who believe do so from conviction and not from a wager.

Funny how gas prices managed to spike right before Labor Day weekend.

That explains why I repeatedly get slapped at bars and clubs.

True, but then again many of us occasionally say something intelligent while sober, and that might make all the difference here.

Why don't you do the offline world a favor at the same time and just block the blood from getting to your brain for a few minutes.

I vote for BobCathy because I'm going through a milf phase ...

Some of you are really going all out in this thread. I suppose it is healthy since everyone is letting off some steam. Personally, I believe that anyone who takes a large personal investment in time and money (as Baron has done to create EliteTrader) is entitled to set their own rules and...

I'm going to be losing so much sleep over this ...

You're spot on.

It is easy to complain about moderating when you *DON'T* see the amount of trash that gets posted and cleaned up by moderators. I don't know about you, but if there was a little gremlin in my computer to moderate the spam I get each day through e-mail, I'd be more than happy to let it do its...

What we must guard against is extremism and taking things out of context. A quote by itself means nothing unless one reads the entire paragraph or story from which it came. You could make a flash documentary against any political organization (liberals, conservatives, libertarians) and...

DAMN what a nice day outside!

I don't think anyone would disagree with the basic tenets of the 10 commandments. It is primarily a judeo-christian document, but it could just as easily apply to a religionless yet moral society (apart from the commandments concerning god himself). The problem that I see is localized...

Amazingly, ET does a great job of policing itself. I generally get a heads up from another user when they see a potential problem. A moderator can't be everywhere at once, so it is a big help when other users clue us in. However, I wanted to address this to a few certain people who come to...

Why is my country pulling double standards left and right? Why is it acceptable to print "In God we Trust" on U.S. currency and also to swear a president into office using a bible but it is unacceptable to have a monument of the ten commandments on public display in a court of law? I'm not...
