the more i think about the dubs claiming they 'have the truth', the more it irritates me.
there are countless other religions who claim they 'have the truth'.
first of all, "having" "the truth" implies that the truth was either given to them or discovered by them.
Ya, it's even more cool being around her since we aren't "in da troof" anymore.
She ain't "da good lill sister" that's all meek and mild and a door mat and crap (not that she was before, but was a little bit like all the sisters are suppossed to be).
Sticks up for herself. I like it.
Pretty cool!
the latest wt questions from readers on blood.
fractions of all "primary" components are now allowed?.
is this saying that everything is allowed except when they're combined together?
groan...
somebody is always insisting they have an invisible and mysterious source of divine information and selling it like hotcakes and syrup.
but, why are you still buying?
when will you ever learn that this is a scam among many scams.
Fire...interesting sub-topic to this thread.
I don't know how many of those who are discussing early humans and fire discovery have ever actually spent time with the type of fire in question; lightning-strike fire burned low to embers. It would most closely resemble a camp fire vs. fire in a fireplace, etc. Perhaps you all have - or, perhaps some of you are "city folk", I don't know. I bring that up because it helps to visualize the scenario wereby fire would be "discovered" if you have actually been around it in the proper conditions.
As I said, I don't know the experiences of others here, but I have been in the situation before where fire was not just some pretty, intellectual exercise - let's cook hot dogs on it and then go home kind of thing. I have camped and been comforted in the cold. I have camped and would have given anything - anything to be near a fire's warm embrace. I have forsaken actual shelter before just to sleep in the open by a fire because that is what made it possible to go on and make it through the night. Nature is a cruel and heartless bitch that doesn't care if you are cold or hungry - or afraid of fire.
For anyone who has slept out of doors even one time in the chill of a spring or fall night, it is not at all hard to imagine that early man would - at any opportunity - overcome his natural fear of fire. Being cold, truely cold, to the bone, is a powerful motivator. Being warm is at the very most basic of what we need as a species to survive. We haven't been hairy beasts with warm fur coats for a very long time.
So....early humans had no time to experiment with "technology" because they were to tired? Huh? Because of ...what? That is the experience on the show Survivor so early humans were the same? Please. Attempting to draw comparisons between early humans and the cast of Survivor is, to me, laughable. Of course the Survivor cast has troubles in the wild - we are modern humans who live with modern experiences, for the most part. Ofcourse all of their energy is spent preparing food and just looking for ways to survive...that's the name of the show! It is contrived to be entertainment and does not reflect what it would be like if groups of people, from any period in human history, actually tried to work together as a society for the benefit of all. Each member of Survivor is trying to off the others.
Ofcourse early humans had time to contemplate the following:
1) fire make Og not cold at night. Og not like be cold. Og like fire. Feel good.
2) When Og hands cold, Og rub hands together. Make warm. Feel good.
3) Hands warm feel good. Fire warm feel good. Warm good. Rub things make warm?
4) What Og rub together also make warm? Sticks in fire. Rub sticks?
5) Rub sticks not make fire, but make warm.
6) Is nighttime. Og full belly with mastidon. Og think deep toughts. Rub sticks more.
7) Sticks still warm when rub. Rub sticks more. Rub sticks hard.
8) Sticks make smoke when rub real hard!
9) Rub real, real hard sticks make fire
etc.

a new virus has just been discovered that has been classified by microsoft as the most destructive ever.
this virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by mcafee .
Does simply opening the message cause a virus or is it opening an attachment?
Depending on the version of operating system you have, the version and type of email software you are using, and whether or not you are using an antivirus program tha actively scans emails (and happens to have the ability to catch the virus in question), yes, embedded programming code can execute just by opening in the preview pane when you click on the message header.
However, since this is one of the most dangerous avenues for virus deployment (since all you have to do is just recieve the email and view the message), most updated modern software is automatically set to block this sort of thing. To protect yourself, use a modern operating system (and if it is a desktop PC for gosh damn sake run the friggin' updates!), use a good antivirus program and keep it updated (and run the scans!), and don't jack around with the security settings of your operating system unless you know what you are doing. As long as you do those things and are reasonably responsible in your surfing and email habits you'll be OK. Still watch out for attachments and obviously pay attention to any pop-ups you get while online. Don't just randomly click yes or no on pop-ups without reading and understanding what you are clicking on (this is one of the biggest sources of infestations of malicious code, the not paying atttention to pop-ups questions). OK, I'll shut up now.
because of what i can see with my eyes and this is what i saw:.
i saw an ugly man, his son, his girlfriend and another man.
the ugly man sent his son to a party and told him to bring back meat.
First Reason I am Agnostic and Not Athiest
First of all (and I have had to say it time and time and time and time again on this board to many differemt posters), you don't understand the definition of the word athiest. And, since you don't understand the definition of the word athiest and you are contrasting agnostic vs. athiest, it means you also don' t understand the meaning of the word agnostic.
athiest: literally means a-thiest. Not a thiest. Does not worship a specific god. It does not mean "I don't believe a God can exist." No matter how you want to try to redefine the word, that is what is actually means. It does mean "I don't worship God(s) x, y, and z". In fact, you fedorE, are an athiest. You are an athiest to Thor, no doubt (for example) because you do not actively worship Thor. This is a binary, yes/no, belief system. Do you worship Thor? yes/no, answer: no
agnostic: means "I don't know if a God or any Gods exist". This belief system takes many forms and is not a binary yes/no system but rather a continuum of beliefs.
In other words, by definiton, the two terms athiest and agnostic are not mutually exclusive but rather complimentray terms that each define a part of a persons belief system. The two terms should never be set against each other in a "vs." type of discussion.
For example, I am an athiest (to all Gods) because I do not currently, actively worship any god. I am also agnostic because I believe that it is possible (although not probable) that a god or gods exist (that is an example of how agnostics are on a continuum of belief). So, I am athiest and agnostic. The two terms are not mutually exclusive.
By definition.
at the suggestion of sweetface, i decided to make a new thread about pet peeves.
here's a few of mine:.
1) being invited to a baby shower or bridal shower for someone whom i have never met, just so i will bring them a gift.

that's all.. just some crunchy cheetos.
not the poofy kind.
i like the crunchy ones.. dunno why.
It is confirmed.....It was as I feared...
We just got back from the store....
My soul is an empty pit of despair....I see no reason to greet the morn with hopeful eyes....the future is truely bleak, gray, and without the possibility of joy.
How could this have happened?
How could they be so cruel?
My beloved Nabisco bacon crakers are no more.
I can not remember a time in my entire life that I have not enjoyed their quasi-bacon (yet unmistakably chemical) sort-a goodness...
I weep to think of the long, cold years that lie in wait for me like a cat toying with a mouse as I travel the dark tunnel that will forever be my life.
Perhaps this is jehoobee, punishing me for my transgressions. I'm positive that I read somewhere in the booble that we must never leave jegoober lest he withhold the goodness of the bacon cracker.
Oh, what have I done?
that's all.. just some crunchy cheetos.
not the poofy kind.
i like the crunchy ones.. dunno why.
Got the Cheetos.
I'm jealous. exwitless says that if I'm good, we might make a junk food run. that sound yummy. I bet I would like those Frazzles greewndawn. Over here we have a company that makes flavored crakers that I like. They make bacon and chicken flavored that I enjoy. Triskets now come in a delicious cheese flavor now also. http://www.amazon.com/Nabisco-Chicken-Basket-Originals-Crackers-Bake/dp/B0004MTDU2/ref=sr_1_20/002-3805919-9656823?ie=UTF8&s=gourmet-food&qid=1187394739&sr=1-20 Just checking for links, and OH MY GOD! I think Nabisco might have discontinued their bacon crakers.....OH BLOODY HELL. I must go to the store and confirm this.... This is an emergency of epic proportions!

Oooh, I like the flamin' hot ones too. But I put them in cottage cheese. Yum.
I like the dill pickle chips too. OK, now we gotta go to the store.
I have a craving for Klondike bars all of a sudden also.
I must be pregnant or have pms.

rat 11:29. then rat opened a bottle of beer and said, "god is good" .
"For you shall eat of them becaue they are crunchy and delicious and I have given them to you. They are cheesy and you shall not abstain though they stain your fingers. Bask in my glory and munch my bountiful Cheetos. Verily I say, they are the cheese that goeth 'Crunch'" Chester:1, 1-4
