"I'd like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don't turn to God, you just rejected Him from your city,"Pat Robertson Er sorry Pat but aren't you guys arguing that Intelligent Design IS NOT an attempt by Christians to peddle their beliefs via the education system? If Intelligent Design is not a Christian argument for the teaching of Christian beliefs then why would a rejection of Intelligent Design constitute a rejection of the Christian god? Please...

"Below is my response to the drivel found in Gideon McCensors lastest bunch of arse. " Your article is little more than transaparent and slap dash attempt at spin. All you've done is illuminate a handful of unrelated statistics and attempt to pass it off as cogent pro-war rebuttal. while the death of EVERY soldier matters, it must be placed in context. Yes it should and the context is Iraq and Global Politik circa 2005. The sheer desperation of including American Civil War sta...

Ive yet to look into it but i have to wonder if the 2nd 1000 deaths occured at a greater or lesser rate than the 1st 1000. And whether this next 1000 will fall at a rate that is greater than the 1st 2000/2 again. Bearing in mind of course that figure for all eternity could have been nil if Bush didn't order the invasion and occupation at all. Now how many Iraqi dead? Ive thought it was up around 100,000 but most reports suggest more like 30-35, 000..... seems like we're instituting fra...

Ensconced in a total "golly-gosh-am-i-bored-and-really-sick-of-people-at-the-moment-so-theres-no-point-in-calling-anyone-for-a-whats-up" session, i decided to download and try my hand at Sudoku (sudoku.com). The seed had been planted a couple of nights before by some local news coverage. Apparently "everyone was playing it", which is simply not true. As far as i can tell no-one plays it. Except for the terminally bored that is. Suduko is a numbers based crossword puzzle and requires th...

One of the things i do like about America is NASA. Its a remarkable institution that has achieved many incredible feats which largely go without the acknowledgement they deserve. My time tomorrow a bunch of their best and brightest are set to return to the loving arms of their friends and families. With the typically sensationalist press and all the new cameras and views that have been available on this flight, one could be forgiven for thinking they are in some grave peril for doing so. ...

It's apparent that a great many of the regulars in this forum are either suffering from some form of internet addiction and/or possible some variant of a skitophrenic personality disorder. While to many of you this virtual space might well be the life and soul of your existence to many more of us this is just a blogging forum. A blogging forum which we can take or leave. The mere fact that you obviosuly have so much invested in your online persona means nothing to me and lends no additional...

This entry is in response to the hypocritical stance of an "article" by Mason M perfectly summarised by the following icons + He lamants the downward spirallingly of standards in this forum while conveniently ignoring the fact that a good many of those miscreants he speaks of have blogs featured in the top 10. His opinion therefore is obviously in the minority as it would seem thats precisely the type of behaviour which is rewarded in this forum. Not only that but as popular blogs those...
