Earnassir, this world is bigger than the vision you claim to have in the Koran. You are nowhere near the enlightenment of a true humble muslim scholar. The best Muslim scholars are nowhere near as rigid, nor confining, nor boring. I know many Muslims who would pull you back and desire to...

Isn't this all a little ego-centric ? Is this universe all about just us ? Is it self-convenient and self-serving to think Mars is just a prop in our own morality drama ? We, this little spec of a molecule, in this vast scheme, this play ?

He also had the ability to inspire. His charisma came not from any personal grandeur—indeed, his hands shook and his voice was sometimes thin and reedy when he spoke. Yet he was able to convey a genuineness and sense of empathy unusual in a politician. These qualities were on ample display on...

The term "streaking" was coined by a reporter for a local Washington DC news station as he watched a "mass nude run" take place at the University of Maryland in 1973. That nude run had over 500 participants. As the collected mass of nude students exited Bel Air dorm with the lead runner using a...

I'm really, really tired of this "liberal" vs "conservative" bull**** that is creeping up here from the US. ---------------------------------------------TenPenny----------------------------------------------- Actually, now with Harper as your PM, liberal vs conservative knows no borders nor is...

Thinking of birthdays at the end of April... The George Washington Hotel lives again.....after 30 years of being either empty or barely used for some formerly homeless... A Gala Black-Tie Opening. All the beautiful people getting out of their beautiful BMWs, LEXUSs, Cadillacs leaving the...

omigod LOL !!! Our group of amigos, our amistad, regularly meets at bars to pontificate over politics, religion, sex, drugs, and rock and roll and JAZZ and art and psychology and philosophy. Anyway, I thought (ruh-row) of an experiment. Since we regularly argue heatedly over politics while...

How's Langley BC ? Looks nice on Google earth. We might get some property on 204th Street.

Well it's a good thing. China and the Olympics. It's forced the spotlight on China. Now they got to answer for : 1. Tibet 2. Darfur 3. Uighers

Can anyone recommend a good GREP for Windows ? Does anyone have one they use and do they like it ?

Should we look into a new way of selecting our candidates ?? We've gone from state legislatures selecting our senators until 1913, then we went to smoke filled backroom party decisions, to the public caucus method we see in Iowa, to the closed primary system and then to the open primary system...

I like your analysis, Tonington. I'm sitting in the wings listening to all objections and beliefs. Last night 60 Minutes on CBS concentrated on two items. The 2 polar caps are definitely changing, but what does that mean ? And, the Bush White House stifling some paid scientists' language...

Happy New year everybody. Great board. Funny group. Like, uh, real funny. If you know what I mean. :) Anyway, at least we have 4 more years until the Mayans say we're done here.

I've been following your posts for a bit and, as someone who's been (thankfully) blown apart a couple of times myself, I read your recent posts and kept returning to what I know is true, which that we invite pain when we deny the facts. You're a smart man. You will never convince me, however...
