    Who uses *BSD or a UNIX variant?

    Mac OS X 10.5 on my laptop and desktop, and Fedora on my server. Why? Because they work, (and I hate Micro$oft WinD'ohs and the rest of their software).

    Doing your JOB

    Okay then, what about the cop that comes to the US from a part of the world where it's morally acceptable to kill stray animals, who gets called out to investigate a person beating dogs in an alley? He gets there and finds the dogs bludgeoned to death and the perpetrator with a hammer in his...

    Doing your JOB

    "IDEALLY"? No, LEGALLY everybody that breaks the law should be handled according to established protocol; whether that means a ticket or a trip to the station. It does not mean a cop should be able to do whatever he/she pleases to rectify the situation in his/her mind. It is no different than...

    Doing your JOB

    Really? Like being a cop and refusing to arrest someone for violating a law you didn't think should be enforced? Is that what you mean?

    Doing your JOB

    I agree with the post stating they should lose their license. It is reasonable to assume if you are a pharmacist, and are licensed by the state you work in, that you will be expected to adhere to professional ethics. Those ethics would include dispensing prescriptions as written. People lose...

    99.9% DNA & the Bible

    And likewise, I cannot think of anything god *is* involved in. If god exists, he has shown blatant disregard for everything he has "created" since he "created" it.

    Evolution vs. Creation: hovind debate

    Oh, is it really? Let's analyze this, shall we? In past threads, questions have been asked which I was unsure of the answer. Those questions have been consistently, accurately answered by others here. The fact that I said that someone would probably be able to answer the question shortly is...

    Evolution vs. Creation: hovind debate

    No response gregorian? I'm disappointed in you.

    Evolution vs. Creation: hovind debate

    So what? I responded to the first two with (more or less) "I don't know" because that is a perfectly truthful, valid answer. You seem to be reading a lot into "faith" there. You make the assumption that all of a sudden, a woodpecker was hatched with its tongue attached to a location opposite...

    Programmer humor....

    That is pretty funny. If I didn't use Mac and Linux systems exclusively, I'd have to get that one....

    Evolution vs. Creation: hovind debate

    EDIT: Someone beat me with a better answer. I haven't looked into this one yet, but I'm sure someone else here has. Why not? Yes. Keep all religion out of schools, whether it be called creationism or intelligent design. Continue teaching the scientific theory of evolution. As for Hovind...

    Yes, You Are

    I'm not a [dirty word]feminist[/dirty word], but on occasion I act a bit feminine. Does that make me a feminist?

    If I Evolved From Slime, Why Can't I Remember What I Ate For Breakfast This Morning?

    And it will still be slime tomorrow. 50,000 years from now. it may just be smarter than you, however.

    Is democracy that precious?

    Clearly a non-sequitur. "Hitler got into power through a h[i]jacked political process" precludes the possibility of democracy. Whether a majority of German's supported him at some point or not would not make it any more of a democracy. Further, these excerpts from the Nazi Party Organization...

    In The Beginning.

    Which is scientifically irrelevant. Why? Because it doesn't fit in with your presuppositions and beliefs? See above.

    In The Beginning.

    And therein lies the problem. You're using an opinion as evidence. Do you still not see the fallacy in that statement? It's akin to saying "light is evidence of the lightmonster." It is not necessarily true. This has been explained several times already. I'm not going to waste my time doing...

    the homosexual lifestyle being taught to third graders

    It starts out like this: 0630 - Daddy and Daddy wake up and get ready for the day. 0700 - Daddy and Daddy get the kids up and tell them to get ready for school. 0800 - Daddy #1 leaves for work, while Daddy #2 drops the kids off at school, then proceeds to his own job. And so on...

    Evolution is a flawed theory

    Then certainly you are prepared to back up that assertion by providing said proof, no? Through a series of small changes over time. Here is a good read on the subject. The ToE doesn't attempt to answer those, so we'll just leave those out of the discussion. Perhaps extinction was...
