Osama's opposition to the West predates his involvement in Afghanistan - and I doubt that any amount of 'hearts and minds' work there would have won the majority of the population over, because of his role in the defeat of the USSR. You confuse political sentiment with political reality. Do you think th
Early this morning around 12:30 Israeli F-16 jets dropped bombs on the southern Lebonese city of Qana. In this attack a building housing refugees who had fled from earlier Israeli bombardment were targetted and the men, women and children sleeping in the basement of the building were killed when the Israeli bombs demolished the b
Israel has used bunker busting bombs on hospitls, roads, schools, residential appartments mosques and even a synagogue. I do not think any strategic goal was achieved by this carnage except to terrorise the civilian population. Some 500+ deaths in 18 days time is hardly carnage or terror. The number of
But later when the door is shut to the Gentiles (so to speak) He will turn again to the Jews and all of Israel will be saved says Paul God's doing the choosing, not the Jews <
I would have to question your motives tho if you are fully able to participate Why? What right do you have to question anyone's motives or actions? If they accept Christ as the Son of God, "the way, the truth, and the light," then they are saved. Do other differing beliefs matter? If they feel it's nec
If a group of people believe that only by accepting Christ as their Lord and Saviour, only by believing in and willfully submitting to his sacrifice and consequent resurrection as the bridge between man and God, and the only means of sin forgiveness, are they Christians? If this same group follows the above, but also believes the only true method of committal to this acceptance of Christ is sacrifice of their firstborn son on an altar, to God,
Please, someone, explain to me the basis of the American fascination with Israel. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It is that simple. People turn and twist, force their spin, create theories and ideas, then try to fit their square peg into the round hole, but in the end, Israel is the lesser of two e
Why do you guys waste your time here? Bush is not restricting the research, he is simply refusing injection of federal funds. That is all. All those "in-vitro" waste embryos can be used, just not by federally funded programs. Veto stats for the last 9 presidencies: Kennedy - 21 Johnson - 30 Nixon - 43 Ford - 66 Carter - 31 Reagan - 78 G.H.W. Bush - 44 Clinton - 37 G.W. Bush - 1
KFC: Ok, I answered your questions, now will you answer this? "Now I have to ask. Do you believe (as a Christian) that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth? If you say yes, you have just taken Gen 1:1 literally. You would be inconsistent in saying Gen 1:1 was literal but the rest is symbolic. How do you
I remember sitting in Bible class my freshman year of high school, watching a Ham tape about evolution, and laughingly telling my neighbor "Dude, if this guy isn't a missing link, I dunno what is!" I still say he looks like a monkey.
What did he say that is wrong or out of place? What wouldn't have been said had he known Dobson would air the letter? His second sentence, "I would also greatly appreciate it if you would convey my appreciation to the good people from all parts of the country who wrote to tell me they were praying for me and for my family during this period," sounds like he states the opposite. He wanted it spread. I don't seem to see the issue.
I believe it has been stated that rolls start at zero.

Just so you know, there is a toggle above your minimap that turns anomaly display on/off. When turned on, you are able to see all anomalies, explored or not, currently on the map. When you tell a ship to auto-survey, it will make a bee-line for the nearest, and continue around the map. It is intended. As for AI colonization issues, I have never had the same problem. I always see faction scouts racing from system to system before I see colonies. I could be wrong, but you could have a f
How does "gain a diplomatic ability bonus when dealing with other good civilizations" work? Wouldn't the other side receive the very same bonus?
