@Lyc360 Hell is no more a "doctrine" of the Catholic Church than Pasadena is a "doctrine" of Google Maps.

Why am I not surprised that Ron Paul supporters use the Saul Alinsky tactics of ridicule?

Every generation produces it's unique blight upon the landscape. Past generations gave us cheap electricity and hydrocarbon emissions. This generation gives us extemely expensive electricity, decreased soil moisture, and the worst eyesore since Stalin started putting up high-rise apartments in St...

@unomnacajit111 Sure! Religion purports to tell us what we are, how we got here, and where we are going. The "how" we got here might be "God", or it might be a "force". In the case of evolution, the "how" is random accidents pushing living things through the strainer of "natural selection" by v...

Such a beautiful piece, made the more beautiful by the soul of the man playing. Meditative, and with the sorrows of a lifetime. So grateful to have found this. Thank you.

Tremendous fly-by. Certainly will get a NATOPS violation for flat-hatting, but I am please to see there are still Naval Aviators out there. Flying for airlines is over rated. Hopefully this guy left the Marine Corps at his terminal rank of Major and went on to an illustrious career in Gynecology....

@suesill1 We have the good fortune to say goodbye to our tossers in bit over 14 months.

I was a medical student at Oak Knoll in '83. I came back again in 83-84 for my Internship, returning again in '87-'92 for my surgical training and one year a staff surgeon. Lived on base in the housing above the O'Club. My third child was born there. We used to go to mass in the chapel, and go to...

That looks like a nano version of John Cleese as "Minister of Silly Walks"

@Anonpartition 99% of what?

@chrissowick I am saying that Harris has not explained why anything matters. All he has done is propose that consciousness is more valuable than inert matter, Why should conscious creatures be more valuable than rocks? Because he FEELS that they are. This speech is a pleasant collection of subj...

The illustrated history of the Chinese Junks has already been written. The corpus of work by the great C.G Worcester beautifully documents building techniques, hull types, rigs and traditions.

Junks and Sampans of the Yangtze is a wonderful book that I used to restore my own Chinese Junk back in...

@maxx1000 Sir, you are spot-on!! The same crime deserves the same justice, and the same problem that underlies it demands the same solution. This is precisely why sane people resisted, and continue to resist the introduction of women into combat units, particularly ships at sea. It has the same ...

This story is obviously in error, because GM is too big to fail!!

Must be time for the next suit in line to serve as CEO for 12 months and retire to an 8 figure bank balance. As long as the UAW is viable that is all that matters.

Spot-on. I flew fighters in the USMC. A couple of squadron mates were at the TopGun School when this film was shot. It was released in theaters about 3 weeks before we returned from our WestPac deployment. We all agreed that this film is UBER GHEY!!!!!

"Uh..negative Ghostrider, the colon is full...

They need to change the name of the show to FAIL WARS. This is the most incompetent bunch ever to sail the sea. Most of the show is occupied with mechanical failures and the complete ineffectiveness of their pansy tactics.

Conversely, if they are willing to put their lives on the line to save th...

@urbaniak You are absolutely correct! My error!
