Saw IV

We've sorta gotten off track here. The original question is in regards to religion as it applies to the rearing of children. Is religion really good for children? I'm not sure it's gone that far off track. The general answer seems to be that certain elements present in religion are almost certainly...

We were not talking about written laws. It's impossible for those to cover everything. However you don't need a god to devise a set of guidelines on how to behave. It's not impossible. Also, I apologize, I assumed that because the 10 commandments were referred to above, that constituted a valid rea...

We were not talking about written laws. It's impossible for those to cover everything. However you don't need a god to devise a set of guidelines on how to behave. Also, society includes religion. So by stating that "Society can't keep society "in line"", you're implying that re...

So, a framework of morals or a code of ethics without the supernatural? What incentive would any person have for truly following such a code? Granted, religion as a whole has done a marvelous job of it :P, but my question still stands. The incentive would be a better life. If you look at something ...

It's nice to see that IV is going back and putting a little pazazz and updating the webpages for their older games, Uplink in particular which is known to continue to sell well even now. I'm not sure how much QA went on with the design process for the pages, though... then again maybe it's been bro...

This is the only point of strongdl's I agree with. The New Deal didn't end the "Great Depression". The only modern example we have of a country attempting to spend their way out of crisis is Japan. After losing their asses in the 1980's on real estate speculation and junk bonds the Japane...

"Trickle down" was a term created to paint a valid economic concept negatively. The "wealthy" aren't just the people you hate. There are the slightly less wealthy that own businesses. There are even much less wealthy stockholders that contribute to job creation. There are times ...

Xander, There is never a spend-spend. The government does not produce wealth. If they print it, it still comes out as inflation. Where the money comes doesn't change the fact that the previous administration cut-taxes and still spent more money than any in history. xander's point was that at least ...

Quite the opposite. The media is so in love with him, that they portrayed him in the best possible light. So much so, that it kind of became a joke that he was the messiah. Well, he's not the messiah, so that led to the anti-christ notion. It is always amusing when people talk about the "media...

Maybe he is introverted, but I certainly don't think he'd be the first president to be so. I think most of the better presidents were introverted to some degree as many great leaders are.

But seriously, who said that question was ever about evolution? When a hen is 'pregnant', the (other) egg is fertilised and then the egg shell is formed around it. Therefore, providing you belive an embryo is is alive upon fertilisation, the chicken comes first. But what gets fertilized? An egg by ...

The Big Bang Theory doesn't account for the end of the universe. There are however other theories that do. The one you are referring to is the Big Crunch theory. This has largely been abandoned as it is largely inconsistent with what we have observed.

I actually tend to agree with MaximusBrood on this. I know I'm not going to submit my "Introversion resume" in an attempt to get my name on this recognition page. I just don't like the idea of nominating myself for recognition in this way. I think it would be better to ask people to submit...
