  Going Bankrupt isn't the end of a company, and it won't end the Borg, although it may wake up some people.

  MGM filed for Bankruptcy in 2010 and they still exist as a company.

  big accident at Warwick construction site

  by oppostate in

  the wt society is fond of using the tilt-up method of construction where a network of rebar is made on the ground, concrete poured on it and allowed to cure, then the whole thing is tilted up and voila' you've got yourself a massive big-ass wall ready made.

  these walls for several stories-high buildings are indeed massive and weighty so you need a heavy-duty crane to raise into position.. i just heard from an eye-witness ldc volunteer that while there a few weeks ago they had an enormous accident.

  the crane tilted and crashed, the only one hurt was its operator.

  I just now saw this.

  I'm wondering if it was indeed a volunteer or one of the worldly outside contractors that got hurt. I heard they were hiring third-party contractors for much of the heavy stuff at Warwick.

  Jonestown Survivor Quote

  "...when our own thoughts are forbidden, when our questions are not allowed and our doubts are punished; when contacts & friendships outside of the organisation are censored, we are being abused for an end that never justifies its means.

  when our heart aches knowing we have made friendships and secret attachments that will be forever forbidden if we leave, we are in danger.

  when we consider staying in a group because we cannot bear the loss, disappointment and sorrow our leaving will cause for ourselves and those we have come to love, we are in a cult.

  i have started walking every morning for twenty or thirty minutes.

  so yesterday i had to work and almost didn't go, but decided to get in a quick ten minute walk.

  i don't usually take my phone, but decided to take it, and i was so glad i did because a block from my house i came upon an older chinese man face down on the sidewalk and bleeding profusely from his mouth/face.

  The way I see it if a person has a nothing argument, then where there is nothing there must be something.

  That didn't parse well. Are you saying theists have nothing arguments, therefore there must be something to them?

  On the subject of theists arguments equating to nothing, I wholeheartedly agree - they have nothing to back up their arguments.

  There is an important distinction between having a high standard of evidence required for extraordinary claims and believing anything just because someone makes a claim.

  Earliest Life on Earth Pushed Back Another 300 Million Years

  by cofty in

  2. beliefs

  researchers have found evidence of ancient microorganisms that lived in what is now western australia at least 4.1 billion years ago.

  if confirmed, the discovery suggests that life originated on earth 300 million years earlier than previously thought.

  .... the ancient microorganisms in question were found trapped inside zircons formed from magma in western australia.

  God
  I hate when people fake an interest in all things science just to argue with theists. A thread like this is nothing more than bait to suck someone into a circular go nowhere argument where you can mock and ridicule someone’s beliefs.

  What? Why would you say that? This was a very interesting conversation on an important discovery before you brought God into the mix.

  EDIT: Awwww...someone clicked dislike. Hahaha.
