well, almost.
i just watched the documentary "dirty wars" on netflix and it left me so emotionally overwhelmed that i watched it a second time back-to-back.
it's unreal how cynical this left me feeling about obama and the us government's global war on terror, it's so bleak that i almost wished for the simple life of being a jw with the naive promise of big daddy jehovah coming to sweep away all the wickedness at armageddon.. watch this movie!.

i've had them off and on since i was 8. i didn't put a label on them till last month.

I'm already on the lowest therapeutic dose and they don't want to play around with a new medication because this one seems to be working well aside from the tremors. It sucks but it's better than the emotional rollercoaster I used to be on.

I don't know if they're essential tremors but I shake all the time ever since I started taking medication for bipolar disorder. Pisses me off because I used to love target shooting and making model airplanes and now even eating a bowl of soup is impossible.
just saw this online, they're making a big-screen creationist adaptation of the first chapters of genesis.
sad, but should be good for a laugh..

is it okay to play as a jehovah's witness?
or is it just a conscience thing?.
Definitely not wrong to play GTA V, that was one of the best games I've ever played although I still think The Last of Us on PS3 should have won game of the year.
the museum at the site of china's first emperor's mausoleum has a new exhibit.
as archeologist's press on excavating the site, they have found the first examples of ancient chinese armour, and it has now gone on display:.
a china national tv provides some images.. http://english.cntv.cn/program/cultureexpress/20131216/104966.shtml.
I can't wait until they finally excavate the main tomb. It supposedly has a small scale replica of the entire empire with lakes and rivers of liquid mercury.
just curious if there's any major metal heads here?
what sort of bands or music are all you guys into?
i'm a huge opeth fan, and death metal for that matter.
As a born-in I was obviously forbidden from listening to anything metal but in secret I would loop any song I could get my hands on that featured crunchy distorted guitar. I was a metalhead in hiding.
One of the best moments of my life was attending the Heavy MTL festival in Montreal where I got to see Testament, Mastodon, Megadeth, Anvil, Slayer, Skeletonwitch and Lamb of God. I was on pure metal overload.
if you want to read the definitive explanation on fossils and how life arrived its covered in darwins doubt, by s.c. meyer.
this is a game changer.
the bomb!.
QC - You just stated that all creatures have their DNA "custom made" which is why I specifically asked about Neanderthals. Going in with no assumptions about evolution, this species has unique DNA from modern man yet also had complex social structures (religious burial, advanced stone tool making, etc.)
How do you rationalize this?

Ok, if humans were the primary focus of God's creative efforts, why did he create separate species of man like the Neanderthals and allow them to die out as well? And yes, Neanderthals ARE a separate species with distinct DNA.

Ok, so playing Devil's advocate here we'll accept QC's proposition that God created all distinct species out of thin air. It is estimated that 99.9% of all species (plant, animal and other) that have ever existed are extinct - Newman, Mark. "A Mathematical Model for Mass Extinction". Cornell University. May 20, 1994.
According to the journal Nature, there are 8.7 million eukaryotic species currently on the earth, of which 86% of land species and 91% of marine species remain undiscovered.
What's the fugging point of creating billions upon billions of species only to let them die out? Also, how the heck did Noah cram two breeding pairs of 8.7 million species aboard a creaky wooden box just 4000-odd years ago? If you trot out the "kinds" argument I'm gonna slap you upside the head, though, because that would presuppose hyper evolution on a massive scale.
