How did the UN fail? by not finding any WMD? Did you notice the irony that Rumsfeld has asked us to "give the weapons inspectors more time" when the Bush administration was unwilling to do that very thing? As far as the UN not working, please provide concrete information to back up that...

Sadly, it doesn't surprise me that he's doing something like this, considering everything else they've done to facilitate a fascist government (before you think I'm flaming, look of the definition of the word 'fascist'). I fully expect GWB to suspend elections next year "in the interest of...

Top 5? Impossible. I'll just have to lump some together 1a. A Case for Song: Elvis Costello Live 1b. Coen Brothers movies: Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou, The Man Who Wasn't There 2. Indiana Jones movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark, IJ & the Holy...

that's the thing - the Powers That Be are exactly that and will do what they want i n spite of public outcry, no matter how loud it is

thanks, stray - :)

very interesting - thank you :) there's so much more to this whole situation than meets the eye - it seems that the supporters and the protesters each have valid reasons for their positions on the subject.

Oh, I don't think that all people who support the war are like this guy. There are extremists on both sides, as you said, and I can't help but be reminded of the peace protesters from the Vietnam war who attacked the soldiers - they were then and are now doing their duty. Just a tangent I...

why does the resolution have to be at the same level? are UN resolutions like the US's misdemeanors v. felonies?

I, too, am opposed to this war. I certainly believe that Saddam is a (brilliant in a dangerous way) madman, but any action should have been sanctioned by the UN, at least tacitly. My spouse and I walked in the October rally in DC. We avoided the speechifying precisely because of the...

I agree with you, Cougar. now for another thought...once the Iraq war is over, will the US and the Coalition of the Willing go after every other country who is in violation of a UN resolution, including Israel? Rumsfeld was just asked live on CNN if any WMD have been found. he says "the...

so what happens if coalition forces *don't* find any WMD other than what was already located? will the general public ever know about it? will the coalition leaders as assume that Saddam gave them all to Al Quaida? those opposed to the war will have a field day with that... thoughts?

Okay, back on topic. In the case where a fetus/baby dies in utero & the mother does not naturally miscarry within a safe time frame, a doctor must perform an abortion to remove it - is that wrong?

Just throwing in my two cents...as someone who has been suicidal...and who has believed in evolution since my teens....when I was a Christian, I might add. My problems stemmed from a *genetically transmitted disease* called bipolar disorder, of which I have the most serious form. In addition...

blader: I'm in complete agreement with you.

The other documents only confirm that the Genesis account is not the only record of a "worldwide" (i.e. large region) flood. The details of Noah's instructions from God are not proven correct by those other documents and are therefore highly suspect as Absolute Truth, especially considering...

Rufus, you got to that list before I could - thanks! Seebs, thanks to you, too. Lambslove, how do you respond to Rufus & Seebs?

-There are 3 documented versions of a "worldwide" flood (keeping in mind that at that time people didn't know the real size of the world). -Archaeological evidence supports a great regional flood in that area at that time in history. -Therefore, one can logically deduce from these *very...

As a literature teacher at a university affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, I offer as a research paper the topic of various accounts of the Great Flood - the Epic of Gilgamesh (a Mesopotamian account written before Genesis), Genesis, and Ovid's Metamorphoses (ancient Rome) all give...

Thanks, Zico... hope the message gets to the right person(s)...

Keep asking your questions. Don't be satisfied with what others tell you to believe - not your family, not anyone of any religion on this board, no one. It's your spiritual life and your decision alone. I suggest that you read books and do some research & interviews on various religious...
