ming the clam is 'oldest animal' a clam dredged up off the coast of iceland is thought to have been the longest-lived creature discovered.. scientists said the mollusc, an ocean quahog clam, was aged between 405 and 410 years and could offer insights into the secrets of longevity.

I can't see how killing a feotus is not taking the life of a human.

For those that favour the above, maybe taking a few buckets of aborted babies out to dispose of ,and actually looking at the bodies dying might bring it home, but then no-one would do that for you can be pro abortion and not have to look in the buckets and get comfortable in your armchair.

C'mon start your howling

i work for a telecommunications company and in so doing, i deal with a lot of fraud.

now, what i am about to say could come across as racist and i hope people read the whole thing to get what i am saying and know i am not racist (... to add though, i really am past caring what people think).

in the state of north carolina, you can run up your phone bill to $1000's and $1000's and by law you only have to pay basic local service to keep services on.

Hi Khepri and thanks for clarifying things about the Oz aborigine , my point was'nt to run them down as I've been out bush and spent time with them in various places ,what I was showing here is a news report that people could use the way that suited their thinking to prove their own agenda which may not neccessarily be right. It's an age old thing where one nationality will say something against another nationality based on supposed science or something else. To illustrate ,here in Oz people have always referred to English migrants as whinging POHMS ,Scots as tightfisted with money etc etc .But what is it based on ( I'm a POHM and happy being here)? Maybe one ethnic people appear to have a trait but it maybe a local phenomena because of locality ,finances etc but that does'nt make them inferior .As the aborigines in Coober Pedy show some are drunks in the gutter and others are well off for they like white people make choices when given a chance. This race argument is stupid and that's why I posted the quote from the newspaper and related what they say at my wifes work ,yet is really true in every case ,how could one prove such things?

Free2beme Perhaps this article in our newspaper from Saturday will give some new life to this topic. I don't neccessarily agree for I'm not a scientist but I thought it would show what one expert may give as an explanation. This is repeoted in the Advertiser Sat20th Oct.

"BRITAIN - Nobel prize winning American scientist and DNA research pioneer James Watson, 79 ,left ,has set off an international furore with comments to a British newspaper about intelligence levels among blacks.

The renowned Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, where he served as chancellor ,suspended his administrative responsibilities on Thurday following the outcry, the laboratory said in a news release.

Dr Watson has apologised and says he is "mortified" by the reported comments.

Sunday Times Magazine quotes him as saying he "is inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because "all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours - whereas all the testing says not really" "

italics and highlighting mine ,so how about that ?

My wife who works for a government department says that the Australian aborigine people they deal with are much worse at paying their phone bills than other population groups ,and yet they recieve much better government benefits than other people simply because they are indigenous.

But this could be because of social minority position rather than intelligence ,but whose gonna believe the above when it's not socially trendy these days not to point to supposed failings of ethnic groups.?

Silent Lambs

by BEROEAN in

so was this all about money or what?

i was hoping silent lambs would resist the money and push for the exposure of the criminals.

instead they cave in to the gag order and they took the money and ran!

How To Repel Jehovah's Witnesses at Your Door

by WTWizard in

the doorbell rings, and it is jehovah's witlesses.

this is not all that unusual, but in this case you have made it clear that you do not want to be called on.

there is a no trespassing sign prominently displayed on your door, and they know you are absolutely not interested.

Sincere? Well that's all right then!

if someone is 'sincere' about their belief or beliefs in 'something' does that make their actions and the repurcussions of their actions excusable and their right to continue in that belief also excusable?.

mr bush sincerely believed that god told him to invade iraq.. mr blair said he 'sincerely believed' that was the right thing to do.. apologists and semi apologists for the wt and misled members of the wt, including those who harrassed dh, believe that we should excuse these people, (jws) because they are 'sincere.. so, does being 'sincere' about a belief or your beliefs mean that everyone else has to 'let' you do what you think is right and 'let you off' the repurcussions of those beliefs and actions and even 'punish' those who disagree with you?.

sincere is a very overrated word in my opinion and too many people use it as a shield to protect them from the repurcussions of their actions.. the same applies to the world religion!
