well, the switchover happened - there were a couple of things i had to fix which meant the posting was disabled for longer than i planned but it's now enabled and some people have already posted.. if you have any questions about the new format or suggestions on how to improve it, please post them here.. if you are having trouble signing in or posting then you'll need to email me instead.. many thanks to everyone for their patience during the changeover !.
One thing I miss is the ability to see every topic I've posted on when I click on my name, like the old "Topics Posted On" link (may be there and I just can't find it) and the ability to go directly to the last page of a thread from the Topics pages. Nevermind that one, just saw Simon's post on it.
Those are minor, otherwise everything seems fine.
red cross had a blood drive near me, i decided to go give blood.
i hydrated well, ate some red meat for the iron last night and at lunch, we and gave a pint of blood.
i felt mildly embarrassed, i had no idea what my blood type was.

try to develop some introspective humour, before the next donation.
remember you did a cogent self-analysis.
What an ignorant thing to say.

Anyway, still doing some firsts after life as a JW. This one was giving back and felt really good!
i watched a documentary last night where they found old bones and spear heads in mexico.
this work was originally started in the 60s but they went back over the decades.
the main researcher dated the items at about 20,000 years old.
Carbon dating is not ever used at 250K years (50000 years is about the maximum), uranium dating is used with 2 million year margin of error. For comparison, one is as accurate as a scalpel, the other as accurate as a chainsaw. Why would you ever compare the two?
Also, which documentary?
was there a second coming?.
a 3rd coming?.
" (the 3rd coming?).
if you do believe in the bible's message, do you believe society has gotten better, worse, or has remained the same?.
if you don't believe in the bible's message, do you believe society has gotten better, worse, or has remained the same?.
on a personal note, there are many things that i can't help but notice that coincide with what the apostle paul wrote to timothy in his second letter chapter 3 regarding tough times:.
the bad words I meant are words my dictionary calls taboo words. I've understood that if I use them when talking to the police I may be in trouble.
Freedom of speech should prevent that. Societal taboo doesn't mean the words are bad.
A teaching assistant I know told me one day recently how much bad language she hears in the primary school playground.
Kids swore all the time 35 years ago when I was in primary school.

when I went to school as a child the kids didn't use bad words but now they do.
What is a "bad" word? And, unless you were around every student all the time, you've no idea if they did. Unless you're in school now and around all the kids all the time, you've no idea of the frequency.
I will say it is hard to disprove the Bible.
It's incredibly easy to disprove the Bible.
warning: poes law may apply.
i just wanted to take a moment and remind everyone that all muslims are good people.
"real" muslims would never kill in the name of their religion .
All the costing given in that article are for the litigious USA. We are not talking about the USA.
Why not? I was talking about the death penalty, I never specified a country. If you want to talk about a different country that still uses it, like say China, Russia, Iraq, Iran or North Korea, please go ahead and gather the data and we can.
Even if a death penalty trial does cost a bit more, you arent then paying hundreds of thousands per year looking after them until they die in possibly 40 or 50 years time.
It's clear you didn't read the studies, those questions are addressed in, well, pretty much any one of them.
the scientists at the scripps research institute, california, have almost succeeded in creating the world's first living organism with artificial dna!.

I did not mention the source as it was not the subject. Here are some the published materials:
Sourcing information is very important. Without it, we can't check accuracy or verify things. Having said that, let's talk about your sources:
1. Note that the article never said what you claimed, that Sankrit was perfect and that NASA didn't write the article. Rick Briggs, a guy who works for NASA, wrote the article . That's not at ALL the same.
2 -4. Irrelevant to your claims.
