Reply to So just how well educated President Obama really is? in Current Events Stardock Forums

Yeah, Bush was shown no tolerance for slips of the tongue. It was pretty low. Even though I was not much of a fan of Bush, it was pretty disgusting to hear the insults thrown at him for verbal mistakes. Nobody even cares when Obama makes a mistake. Honestly though, Obama probably meant to say that America invented the modern automobile industry , not the automobile itself. Jumping on this just exhibits the same kind of behavior that was so repulsive in the liberals for

Reply to The Golden Compass in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I've read all three of the books in this series. The first takes place entirely in an alternate universe in which the Church is extremely powerful. It is also made up of several different departments that have differing motivations. One department in particular is prominent in this book. They commit a bunch of terrible acts. I read this when I was in 5th grade. The obvious anti-Christian views did nothing to affect my faith. The next two contained more anti-Christian sentiment that cou

Many colleges don't actually apply that to all things. My school (UCSB) will report any arrests or criminal violations that they are aware of to parents.

Reply to Imus in the morning no more??? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I don't see how this has anything to do with free speech. The first amendment states: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. I don't see anything in that statement having to do with a company firing an em

You may not like the title, but Samuel L. Jackson reportedly agreed to do the movie without reading the script because he liked the title so much.

Nuclear Weapons without the Fallout in Politics JoeUser Forums

Currently there is a large amont of money being poured into laser fusion research. The goal of this would be to find a way to initiate fusion using only lasers. Since fusion uses only hyrdrogen and produces helium, it would be by the far the cleanest most desirable form of energy available to us. However, the chances of actually producing a system efficient enough to

Yes, the BCS is clearly biased. I mean UCSB has never lost a college football and we're not even ranked. What kind of crap is that? They've just got Gaucho envy.

That show is amazing. I'm going out with my friend to buy the second season on DVD today. Every character they have had on the show has been funny. I especially loved Henry Winkler as the family lawyer. He was genius.

Perfect love in Religion JoeUser Forums

The most fundamental truth of the Christian life is that God, a perfect being, sent a part of himself to die for us. Think about that for a moment. The only perfect being in the universe was willing to live a life as a man, and endure not just death, but be subjected to one the most brutal forms of execution of the time. And he did this for us. When you consider the f

What am I doing? in Misc JoeUser Forums

At some point in the past two years I have forgotten why I am headed down my current path in life. I still enjoy what I'm doing, but the fire that drove me before is gone. I realized that what I was headed for was not necessarily the course from which would derive the most satisfactory and fulfilling life. My junior year of college will commence in approxima

Reply to Puzzle for the 3rd Eye in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

Oh, I forgot. I believe the way the puzzles are generated is by laying out the desired number of vertices in a circle, and then adding in the connecting lines with constraints, such as: each vertice has no more then 4 connections there is n number of connections for m number of vertices Its probably random from there on out.

Reply to Who Gave You the Best Book Ever? in Misc JoeUser Forums

I am WAY too indecisive to actually pin down one book as the Best Book Ever. However, I can say what the two best books ever given to me are. The first, Cities in Flight, by James Blish, was given to my by my physics teacher in high school. The book blew my mind. Science fiction at its absolute best. The second was given to me before the first, but I never got around to reading it until I got to college. A man I've known as a friend o

Spoilers follow here also. I thought the ending was fantastic. The fact that Rowling was not afraid to make the bad guys actually bad guys, and not have them realize the error of their ways was ballsy, but I think it will pay off big time in Book 7. I cannot wait to see how she handles the situation Malfoy finds himself in. As for who dies, I actually called that death after reading the first two books. I didn't actually think I would

Harry Potter Soon! in Fiction JoeUser Forums

Both my roommate and I have preordered the new Harry Potter book. We cannot wait for it to arrive in the mail the day it is released. I'm curious to see if this one will break all the records set by the last one. So who's preordered it already? All those of you that like to speculate, tell me what one character you think is most likely to die. We all know that characters must start dying, since there is to be a war of epic proportions, so w

Wahkonta Anathema, where did you get your information about the 'physics' in your post? A tachyon is a hypothetical particle. Einstein's theory of special relativity was born out of Maxwell's equations, and does not disagree with them as you seem to suggest. As a physics major, i've never heard of this Orgone, and I highly doubt it is backed up by any facts, especially since you talk about it being a force, and having mass and weight, and call it an en

Reply to Michigan drivers vs. California drivers in Automotive JoeUser Forums

Drivers in California suck. I really think that when every new car is sold here, the salesman should be required by law to show the new owner how to use the blinkers. Oh, and the traffic problems, its probably the number of people. In Los Angeles County, there were 9.5 million people there in 2000, as compared to 9.8 million in all of Michigan in the same year.
