Take a look at the Fox Network TV show "Cops". Computers are already more intelligent than some humans.

ibm has a contract w the govt to build computers that are about equal to the computing power of the human brain.
with the right software, they say, these computers could mimic humans.

i just saw president bush on the tv.
he was saying in his very slow way of speaking "we must defend ourselves against the enemies of freedom"and "a great evil is upon the world".
and all of a sudden i had this thought "what if the jw are right..."
Go wash your mind, Viv. Drink one for me while you're at it. Bush is doing the right thing. Even though his speeches don't have the power that Sir Reagan spoke with. This has been a long time coming and it ain't the Big A. Well not for us anyway. It is going to be the Big A as far as a lot of people *over there* are concerned, but they brought it on themselves.

i am a "newbie" on here, so you'll have to bere with me.
my question is, have any of you heard about a group of scam artists going around to the congregations trying to peddle their version of self-healing crap???
this was about 10-12 years ago in the usa.
Oh and another thing.
Bikerchic, maybe it was the chiropractic therapy itself that helped you.
Chiropractors have always done wonders for me, even though I didn't make all the visits they wanted me to.

I've seen and heard of too many gimmicks to put much faith in what doesn't come from a doctor who's spent many years and many tens of thousands of dollars to get where he or she is. So many of these gimmicks are really multi-level marketing once you examine them closer. They don't make anything better except for the bank accounts of the people at the top of the pyramid.
And I've seen plenty of them. Bee pollen comes to mind. Back in the 80's it was a big seller among a lot of dubs and if you took it's promises seriously then you'd believe that it did everything short of make you live forever. Where is it now? Now I'm told that if I put magnets in certain places on my body that it will give me everything short of eternal life. Well my doctor doesn't prescribe anything magnetic but I can buy a magnetic bracelet for 99 cents at a convenience store. Sure. Ok. Whatever. Yawn.

There have been times when I've killed turtles. They were infesting a friend's fishing pond. So after a beer or twelve we played "sniper", quietly getting into range and then taking out the targets as they climbed onto rocks and stumps. Unfortunately it was a .22 rifle so to be honest at the range we were shooting I think the rounds just bounced off their shells and scared the hell out of the little bait-stealing bastards.

Kabong, that's the joke used by British troops against the Germans right?
What's the translation?

this is quite a long post so i started a entrely new thread.
here is a website with a message from mr. anti-semetic himself mark weber (who jj quotes as support to his holacaust beliefs, and i guess prom believes this b.s.
america's media and government leaders now tell us that we must fight to defend freedom.
Probably no one else here is going to say this but I will.
David Duke did make some good points.
We do indeed need to reform our foreign policy. We can't be the world's policeman, sending our kids to die in some godforsaken third-world shithole while our own crime rate and poverty devalues our example to the rest of the world. The billions of dollars we spend in foreign aid should only be budgeted after we've made sure that every American child here goes to bed with a full tummy and our schools are top of the list of world's best. The troops who were murdered and dragged through the streets in Somalia should have been stationed at the Mexican border.
But I draw the line at the anti-Jewish crap. The money makes the rules and runs the show. If a Jew has earned money and power then he's going to support and exert influence in favor of Israel. It's called a capitalist market and a free society. Get used to it.

What are you going to do Englishman, put me in the.....comfy chair? I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition!
Ministry of Silly Walks, Funniest Joke, every minute of "Holy Grail" (are you suggesting coconuts migrate?), the Royal episode, the mountain climbing sketch, Gumby brain surgery, ok just about everything.
My collection is only up to episode 39 because since Best Buy bought out Media Play the selection has really gotten pretty poor.
