  1. Dragging *all of humanity* backwards since long before then. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  2. We can only hope. (...and educate people so that it is indeed so.) That's the way to stay positive in the holidays. Hoping others die off because they have different beliefs. Hoping the belief in nonsensical supernatural bullshit dies out. I'm tired of that "breed" trying to drag humanity backwards in the name of their particular imaginary god. YMMV. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

  4. As a person who has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma(a currently incurable blood cancer) I *personally*feel an obligation to my loved ones to fight the disease as long as practical. My example may inspire someone to similarly fight and survive cancer themselves. Having said that, if the time ever comes that I choose to end that struggle, it will be my decision alone to do so...Regardless of the law or the opinions from the peanut gallery. I will not judge someone deciding for themselves. Those religious who do judge know what they can do with their opinions. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  5. This spells it out pretty well, I think. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  6. Outlawing abortion won't stop people from getting them. People have short memories. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/03/health/views/03essa.html?_r=4& "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  7. ....and once again you have egg on your face. Gotta love it when people get sucked into stuff like this! Oh, you are sooo late. The laughs have been shared and we have moved on to other jokes. Please try to keep up. Sorry, I'm not on here as much as I used to be. It is reassuring to know that you haven't changed and can still be counted on to entertain.

  9. At least they aren't afraid to be recognized... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  10. Not a bad idea,... Sorry that a few are lost and use hurtful words... C According to Ron's website, you should just go ahead and make the check out to him personally. From his website: "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

  12. Me too! Really? I feel lucky as shit. I was also born in America to parents who loved me. I ain't got no complaints. If you think we are the most persecuted group on the planet, you need to get out more. I don't feel lucky. I earned everything I have. And I was actually trying to prove a point. Not actually spell out a particular issue. Think about it though. Can you go walk into Walmart and call a black guy the N word and get away with it? Nope. Can you tell a black guy to their face or on the internet that they deserve to die because they are black? Nope. But, if you are black you can walk around walmart and call me a "crazy ass cracka" you can tell me "your gonna die cracka" etc etc etc. Or you can go on twitter and threaten Zimmermans life, and the life of white people and never get a single visit from the authorities. You as a white man cannot go on the internet and say anything derogatory, lest you get locked up. Hell a kid in WV wears an NRA t shirt and they lock him up. It's bullshit and you know it. And apparently, you cannot offer an opposing viewpoint of homosexuals when you are heterosexual without getting everyone's panties all up in a twist either. The problem isn't that you're voicing your opinion. The problem is that you're wrong. Being gay is not a choice. Who the hell are you to say my opinion is wrong? The point I am trying to make is perhaps my opinion is wrong, but perhaps it is right, and yours is wrong. We don't know for certain about any of it. I personally think that it is a choice. I am entitled to that opinion, and if you don't like that opinion, well that is your choice. But you don't have the right to spout off and arbitrarily say that my opinion is wrong... "just cause" That is demonstrating the typical knee jerk reactionary comment from a close minded person. Stomping the feet, nose in the air, arms crossed, looking away, "YOU ARE WRONG, YOU ARE WRONG" Waa waa waaaaaaaaaa. Did you for at least 1 second think, "hey he might have a point?" If you didn't, then you are close minded. You are unwilling to hear another person out, and give any credibility to an opposing argument. It has nothing to do with opinion. You're wrong. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn6519#.UdO1Sr4o7IU http://www.webmd.com/sex-relationships/news/20050128/is-there-gay-gene http://www.livescience.com/2623-gays-dont-extinct.html http://www.medpagetoday.com/OBGYN/Pregnancy/3641 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17904267%2C16143171%2C12836730%2C10763427%2C9549243?dopt=DocSum "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon.

  14. Nope, don't have a date; just wait and watch. You are smart enough to figure it out as it unfolds. I am smart enough not to put any stock into anyone's bullshit religious prophecy. Enjoy your wait.(but don't hold your breath...) "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
  15. In the 17 and 18th Centuries it all started out as Christian. Your myths have been successfully forced on us. Fortunately, our happiness is not dependent on what you and your ilk do. We know how it ends. But, life is going to get very hard in the near future. The difference is that I don't call for laws that force my morality on you. You, OTOH, want to force your morality on everyone else. We just want America to continue with the morality of its beginning. The die has been cast. You and the others like you have won. Now you can be happy, happy, happy. We are pulling out into our little corners and settlements. You can have the rest of the world and all it has to offer. America is going to be divided up much like Europe with all its associated decadence and debauchery. New England, Chicago, parts of Colorado and most of California will become areas to avoid at all costs. It's your victory, enjoy your spoils. I am just going to watch the maggots feed. Alas, you have not included any mention of WHEN this is going to happen. Do you have the stones to give us a date by which your little prophecy will come to pass? "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
