\ But VERY VERY cheap Nah...I've never been beaten by a Kirby. Who am I kidding...when have I ever been beat? :wink: Oh I know the answer to that one. By me all the time. Fox pwnz joo. :wink:

Maybe because a lot of us love our lives...nothing bad to think about when you know that your life is wonderful....and that I personally am going to a much better place when I die. maybe because of stuff like...love, faith, friendships, beauty...

Sorry to burst your bubble but that is not a correct statement. In fact, I have heard the opposite...of course neither of us actually knows the real truth. But where Noah's Ark is, on the mountain, many men have tried going up there, and actually have been struck by lighting multiple times. This is not a made up myth, it is true, and I have read documents etc. on it. But it isn't the facts that keeps me going and believing, it is my faith.

Actually, it doesn't require absolute knowledge to prove there is a God, while it is required to prove there is no God. It's the difference between a positive universal claim and a negative universal claim. Imagine the universe as a room, and you want to prove that there is a spider in the room. If you want to prove the spider's presence, you only have to know one part of the room - the part where the spider is. However, if you wish to prove that there is no spider in the room, you must know every nook and crany of the room, lest the spider be hiding in some unknown corner. It's the same thing with God. To prove the existence of God, one would only have to have knowledge of one place where God is. But to prove that there is no God, one would have to know every bit of reality (be omniscient), lest God be in some far reach of the universe that man doesn't know about. Therefore, to say that there absolutely is no God is to claim omniscience. However, if you were omniscient, you'd probally fit the definition of God, hence proving that there is a God. All of that to say this: Man will never be able to conclusively say that there is no God, though one can reasonably say that one doesn't believe in God's existence. However, it is possible that someone could find direct proof of a God without being all-knowing. I'd have to agree that we aren't 100% sure whether or not we're right, but then again, everything we know is based on assumptions, axioms, unproven beliefs. I know I'm going off on a tangent here, but I can't think of any other response, so please humor me for a moment. =P Christianity is based on the assumption that there is an infinite-personal, triune God (to use Schaeffer's term) who created man in his image and wants man to spend eternity with him. Science is based on the assumptions that the universe is reasonable and that man's reason and senses can accurately explain reality. Democracy is based on the assumption that the masses can govern themselves well. We assume that knowledges is better than ignorance, that wealth is better than poverty, and that excitement is better than boredom. This conversation we're having is based on the assumption that we can communicate meaning to another human being. I think what I'm getting at is that we have to make assumptions and base our lives on them, so how is making moral assumptions any different? One of my assumptions is that it's better to believe in something and follow it than to say "All assumptions are equally valid, so I won't measure others against my assumptions." In the sea of pluralism, I prefer to find a voice, make in mine, and defend it, rather than try to accept all the voices at once. I'm not trying to advocate close-mindedness, just confidence and faith in your own assumptions. Well, that was a long post for me. :o :P Wow....you are genius.

So he brings up many situations, while you bring up one, assume it's the case, and then act on it... Exactly, BlueTear just took that one step further - basically his logic is asking the question, where do we stop? Sure she could have had a gun, but it's also possible she had worse than a gun. So why assume the gun? I'm not expresing views on whether or not the cop is in the right/wrong - I'm more trying to defend someone calling someone else stupid, with no reasons to do so, and when asked to provide reasoning, side stepped the question. So you assume that she could pose any threat, not just that of a gun. It is human instinct to act on a direct disobedince to an authority. In this case the police officer assumed that any possible thing could happen, and simply did not take any chances. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with what he did or how he went about doing it. I do not know what it is like to be hit with a baton, tazered, shot, or pepper-sprayed, and I do not want to know what it would be like. Therefore, I am not going to disobey a police officer with a gun, a tazer, pepper-spray, and a baton. It sounds like the smart thing to me.

Exactly....I agree 100% and you definitley know what you're talking about.

Aww too bad Ska is not an option...no voting for me. ...and yes, I know that Ska is a sub-genre of Rock, but no thanks.

This movie is PG-13 - does that count? Lots of good intense movies can fit into PG-13 ratings. Most good movies are either rated AA or 16A, 18A What are these ratings?!...hmm never seen them before. Just curious.

That is basically what I believe, but I'm not going to go in depth about it.... I'm really against blind faith too and I find it very hypocritical.

Of course, of course. I forgot, you can't reason with the illogical. Clearly, he is being stupid, because you gave so much logical proof for that... Take a lesson from your brother in how to argue... I'm not trying to argue or prove a point. I'm not trying to point out why he is stupid. I left his own post to do that for himself.

On the other hand... There's no way of knowing if her car is packed with C4 or Semtex. In fact, since there *might* be explosives hidden in her glove compartment, her purse, strapped to her person, beneath the floorboard, inside the engine. There could be IED's camoflauged as cups in her cup holder! Oh no! Call in the SWAT, clear the road and take her out with a sniper! In fact, anyone speeding *MAY* be transporting explosives to be used in terrorist acts, so we should just blow them up! ... Ridicolous argument. There are cases when shooting first, asking questions later is warranted, and this may very well be a case like that (I mean, cellphone, sheesh?) but c'mon, you can motivate any number of strange and brutal methods by saying "Well, she *might* have...". ("Hey, they *might* have WMD's! Nuke!") I'm not even going to respond to your stupidity....just read my above post. I still stand by everything I said...totally ignored. Of course you won't respond, because there's no stupidity to respond to. BlueTear gave a perfect counterexample USING YOUR LOGIC. Umm there is a lot of stupidity to not respond to....He brings in unlogical radical points that I cannot take seriously at all. Thanks but your wrong. My logic, is logic...his "logic", is stupidity.

Runescape + Helpsites = h4x!1 I am personal proof.... eh?....bah

Hahaha true that.

Morons....^ :roll: ^ [sarcasm] Lets wait untill she pulls out a gun and then use the tazer...oh crap, I was shot....too late I guess. I mean, obviously she had no gun...in her purse....or glove box...or under her seat...or in the floorboard....or the overhead compartment...or in the side cup holders....or where she was sitting... Of course not, the cop knew that she didn't...because he has x-ray vision, and because middle age black women can't kill people...duh it's a known fact....he just felt like he needed to get a good tazering in. [/sarcasm]

Uhhh.... How ironic....? ...I guess....

Well I'm sorry you feel that way...But not all of them are "friggin' sick". ....even though the cop is clearly justified...

Developing is definitley one of the best parts. There are two darkrooms in my school and it was so much fun to develope pictures yourself....you have to do it exactly right though or else your pictures will turn out yellow. :?

Alas....it happens to the best of us.

Hanging out with my friends and talking to them... Other stuff I do...photography is a big one...and anything to do with music and theatre I try to get involved with. Football is pretty fun, even though at 5'8 and 135 I get thrown around a lot.... Considering most of my friends are about 6 ft and over 150...:oops:

I know this sounds ridiculously trendy and dumb, but you should get a myspace. It can keep you entertained for a very very long time. Constantly looking at and reading about your friends and bands and stuff.... it is a lot of fun...if you do get it, pm me for a link to my page...or if anyone else wants a link just pm me. If you don't have instant messanger (pm me for my screen name if anyone wants it) or msn messanger, you should defintiley install it... Talking to your friends while playing games and browsing the net, nothing better....oh...and scrolling through my itunes library filled with Ska and Ben Folds! :wink: how could I forget XBL? . . . I mean . . . whoa

Exactly....Do what you can while your young and can enjoy it. From personal experience I know waiting it out and having some girl on my mind 24/7 is not very fun. Go for it! :wink:

That is by far the coolest idea ever. My heart goes out to you.

hahahaha
