    Encouragement for the aged and dying?

    Thanks very much, blackribbon and redrose42. We have had numerous 'life' conversations, looking back, and towards the future and wishes, etc. It has been very insightful as well as a great opportunity to know him better. He's not much of a talker, but I probably learned more about him lately...

    Encouragement for the aged and dying?

    My dad has congestive heart failure and has really wound-down the past 5 months. He's rapidly declining and is now starting to have a very difficult time getting in and out of bed in his assisted living facility. He's a devout believer and meditator of scripture every night, but because of...

    That Italian journalist the US fired on has spoken...

    There have been many statements made about this event, and not until the investigation is completed by the US (if it hasn't been already) as well as by the Italians, will we really know which statements to believe. After all, it is about releasing a car, not an al-queda figure or other figure...

    Bush signed Texas law allowing hospitals to cut life support (irony alert)

    Now we know the facts, that Bush values vegetative life less han he values the cash that it takes to pay to continue a life. He has put a price on life, but now he pretends he believes its priceless. His position is little more than campaign propaganda, but I think conservatives and...

    Kodak: Celebrate the queerness of others' lives (or else).

    Once again the forums prove a discussion on homosexuality can not be handled without insults and degrading comments.

    Kodak: Celebrate the queerness of others' lives (or else).

    I don't agree with kodak's focus on sex and sexuality among its workers. There should be some form of sexual harassment lawsuit filed against them for this.

    Bush has never worked a day in his life.

    I'm not sure that says a lot about bush as much as it does about texans. I'd have to look it up tho. ;)

    Al Sharpton

    He doesn't stand a chance but when I've heard him in debates he is better spoken and generally makes more sense than the other candidates.

    Crockadile Hunter Feeds Alligater While Holding One Month Old Infant Son

    Irwin has profusely apologized for scaring people like that, which I believe is good that he has, and made assurances that he will never do that again. His show is produced in the US, and the uproar is greatest in the US, so I believe his career might have flashed before his eyes for a moment.

    Spending Billions for Nothing going to Mars.

    ...or else the space shuttle blows up. With incentive based grants, including additional funding and perhaps even bonuses, it would be a far more effective and cheaper method of advancing technologies etc. imo than nasa's method of putting a ton of money into a candy machine and getting lots...

    Spending Billions for Nothing going to Mars.

    Thats a lot of money and a long way to go to discover more solar power.

    Spending Billions for Nothing going to Mars.

    At this point the billions of dollars spent on r&d could be better spent by offering grants to the private sector to develop new technologies. This way there would be more specialization and less waste devoted to resulting advancements, rather than developing a method to go to the moon and...

    Spending Billions for Nothing going to Mars.

    Unlikely imo because there are no Indians on mars.

    Spending Billions for Nothing going to Mars.

    Very little of it of value came from the Moon, and very little of it will come from Mars. However it doesn't cost very little to maintain the space program's projects to mars. Its a waste of tax payers dollars. Something like this is fascinating but hardly heroic, and altho its not the most...

    Moveon.org: Of Course They Think Bush Is a Nazi

    A jihadist is a holy warrior, one believes he fervently fights for the righteousness of God against the forces of evil. For example, a jihadist would war against an "Axis of Evil."

    ugh, these amber alerts are painful. My prayers are with them.

    Moveon.org: Of Course They Think Bush Is a Nazi

    There's little evidence that doesn't suggest bush is nazi-ish, only that he isn't "hitler"-ish. ;)

    Spending Billions for Nothing going to Mars.

    While its not absurd to think that scientists could eventually constitute a way to travel the speed of light or beyond, our civilization will probably be destroyed by an unprecedented contagious and fatal virus, possibly even man made, that will prevent us from ever seeing such a reality. Not...
