    9 months in federal prison for selling a BONG (no drugs)

    Understatement of the year. I have no idea what could possibly motivate Neocons to go after Chong. Power/ego perhaps? The Bible Belt social conservatives were going to vote for them anyways, and in the minds of Libertarian leaning voters like myself, this makes conservatives almost as repulsive...

    defining a living thing

    Um....actually this is one rare point where I strongly disagree with the principles of Objectivism/Libertarianism, which claim that animals deserve ZERO government protection from abuses/torture. You may wish to restate that...because I'm sure you don't want Libertarian principles applied to...

    9 months in federal prison for selling a BONG (no drugs)

    It isn't worthless, and the issue is so much bigger than Tommy Chong. The only legitimate purpose of government is to protect people from having their rights violated by others. Instead of protecting our individual rights, the government is now the most brazen violator of the rights it was...

    defining a living thing

    GG, a good question was asked above- is your dog on a vegetarian diet? If so, I bet he hates it. Instead of your unreasonable goal of all people becoming herbivores, how about just implementing some minimal animal rights standards for farms? Quick, 100% painless slaughter, without any live...

    John Allen Muhammad to represent himself

    Burying Islamic terrorists with pig organs has historically proven to have substantial deterrent value. Candle, your game is is to mock the Neocons by presenting yourself as an exaggerated caricature version of them. You're going to have to try a little harder, because your above post makes...

    To whoever runs this Bulletin Board

    While we're discussing improvements, how about the option for each member to cheer/recommend or boo/jeer each post. Then perhaps, one could make sure to check out any highly recommended posts.

    75% of Palestinians support murder of children

    I wish there was an easy answer. The barrier fence under construction between Israel and the savages is a positive measure though.

    Rush gets himself in trouble...damn liberals!

    ****In terms of gov't as a whole, do you believe that you should have the right to live your life the way you want with the most amount of freedom and personal choices or do you think the government can do a better job of living your life for you and making those personal choices for you.****...

    75% of Palestinians support murder of children

    How many times have you heard the following line?: "Islamic terrorists do not represent Muslims any more than Timothy McVeigh represents Christians". Sadly, reality does not support such claims. __________________________________ Poll: Majority of Palestinians Back Suicide Bombing...

    Were any of the great scientists/inventors also religious?

    ***I've looked back on the earlier thread about belief in God and am surprised that Rearden Metal is again hoisting this particular tournament flag. After starting the previous thread he had not much to say, so he appears to be fascinated by the process for it's own sake.*** I often prefer to...

    Were any of the great scientists/inventors also religious?

    It is interesting to note the Hebrew term for devotion to religion: It is "Yirat shamayim". Translated, this means "afraid of the sky". Isn't this just the perfect way to characterize someone who is primitive/barbaric/superstitious? Primitive people cowering, afraid of the sky.

    Were any of the great scientists/inventors also religious?

    Electron, honestly I'd rather not see the term 'Bright' catch on to represent the non-religious. The word is already 'taken', and should not be hijacked to mean something else- just like liberals were wrong to hijack the word 'progressive'. Come to think of it...liberals hijacked the word...

    ArchAngel, While you did refute my theory, I thank you for doing so in such a detailed and astute manner.

    Were any of the great scientists/inventors also religious?

    Nothing attracts hostility quite like iconoclastic remarks, and I expected as much. I did 'look it up', and have not found any documentation of enthusiastic practice of mystic ritual by any of the above names. I don't have a point to make....yet. Just a hypothesis, which is: Irrational...
