And no one ever explained the "free fall" thing to you either have they? You just make statements, but you never engage Rat. So in an attempt to engage you again... What's to explain... you clearly have determined that they are "squibs". No chance they are windows blowing out from...

I'm so tired of this "free fall" myth. It's as if something gets repeated on the internet enough times and it then becomes "fact". A year and a half ago I attempted to engage one of the usuals on this issue -- I found a simple lipsynched video on the net and laid the stopwatch to it (find...

ARogueTrader(ART)/Optional77/JaneDoe/Zx/Etc.: >Not following your thinking here at all. Not surprised. >Please elaborate. Where did the "intelligent designer" come from? ID/Creationism/etc. is a very simple, believable and comfortable position until one wrestles with that basic...

I doubt he'll give me a reason to change my seriously agnostic ways, but on the surface (which is likely all I'll ever know of him) he seems like a real and likable guy rather than the hypocritical type. JB

JB3: >That is just your opinion. Oh great...another Wuffo who doesn't really know what the bible says. (and no, I'm not reading it for you...go do it yourself, starting with the books listed in the comments and then moving on to Revelations) JB3 >Who said that you're the final...

Another interesting article on Jay Baker: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/artsentertainment/2003474280_bakker13.html I especially like this quote from him: >To publicize his Revolution Church, Jay slaps stickers >onto parking meters that read: "As Christians we're >sorry for...

http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/13/bakker.brown.commentary/index.html While I have no issue or argument with Jay's right to have his own version of Christianity, and in fact find his stated version to be more benign and less insulting than many other versions, it's clear that his is NOT the...

Well, they disagree on many things, but the only one I'm referring to at the moment is the most basic... the way to salvation. Simple examples of this disagreement can be seen between the Catholics and Protestants -- salvation through the sacrements or not. How much more basic can you get...

DD: >LOL. The bible is fairly clear enough as to >what it takes to get in. If that were true, there wouldn't be (dozens, scores, hundreds) of different groups DISAGREEING on what it takes. Each of these group members (including you apparently) feel that since it's clear to THEM, that...

Nice (first) win for Massa. Can't believe how bad Ferarri blew that first pit stop tactically. Overall, that was the most passing on the track I have ever seen in a F1 race. JB

Calling it a "supercar" doesn't make it one. That's a dune buggy/go-cart for the street. JB

American Scott Speed scores his first F1 World Championship point by finishing 8th in Australia. He held off David Coulthard (of the big brother Red Bull team) to the final turn to score the highest of all four Mateschitz owned cars. Congrats you little brat. JB
