Moment of Clarity

that any of this defection to McCain talk would be an issue?

Because if you take away the race and gender superficial factors, and look objectively at the issues and platforms, these two candidates are virtually identical.

Do the issues even matter, or is it all a popularity contest and bitter feelings?

Does this make sense?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush and his top policymakers misstated Saddam Hussein's links to terrorism and ignored doubts among intelligence agencies about Iraq's arms programs as they made a case for war, the Senate intelligence committee reported on Thursday.

Will history paint a prettier picture of Bush, as he constantly dreams, or will he forever be remembered as a liar and bumbling fool?

Would he just be running away with this election?

She has been so adamant about getting those FL and MI delegates seated as is and in full. She is only getting half and now may take this to the Credentials committee. Conveniently she took up her righteous battle after she realized she needed them to have any shot at winning. Do you think that she would be fighting so hard to for "democracy" if she had lost those states?

Here is the catch: Use actual arguments and justify them.

I really don't want to hear that he is old, or he has a terrible temper, or he's a doodie head, or that he committed war crimes, or that he is simply going to be four more years of Bush...These are merely lies or unfair slanders and it doesn't prove anything to me. I want to hear some real intelligent reasons with some real intelligent justifications.

I mean pretend I am an intelligent and rational human being and I am trying to decide who to vote for. I don't respond well to smears, but legitimate arguments can sway me to agree with your point of view. So convince me...

and what sort of drugs does it take to remain so loyal?

If so, is that why you use arguments that are untrue or irrelevent, to try to make your case?

They both operate in similar fashions, does it just have to do with size and general acceptance? Don't all religions start off as cults?

"that thought, where did it come from. your sight where did it come from, your hearing where did it come from, your voice where did it come from, your feeling where did it come from, your sun your moon your water your air....There is a GOD. if you can't create those things, and you are born with them...someone in a higher power did that for your own comfort."

How can whoever made this comment be so sure that God created these things? Does this make no sense to anyone else? Isn't this faulty reasoning? I personally believe that the Lochness Monster created it all. Prove me wrong.

What about for getting to "first", "second", or "third base"?

Alrighty well this is purely hypothetical, but I have a hypothesis that I want to test. Anyways, so here is the situation:

The science is in and it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that your beliefs on religion are wrong. If you believe in God, they have just found rock solid evidence that he does not exist. Conversely, if you do not believe in God, they have just found rock solid evidence that He does in fact exist. (And please don't go into the dynamics of the improbability science ever finding a definitive answer, I said it was hypothetical people)

So my question is: How would you react to this news? Would you choose to accept this indisputable knowledge, or would you live in denial? and why?

There are three types of people:

A. You know what is wrong and you don't want to do it because it is wrong

B. You know it is wrong but you think about and/or want to do it, but you won't do it because you are afraid of the consequences that come with getting caught.

C. You know it is wrong, and you do it because you are evil and don't care.

Where do you fit in?

would you do it? why or why not?

I mean what the ****?

So here is the situation:

You have been diagnosed with cancer. It could be terminal but it is in its early stages. There are two rooms you can go to treat it.The first room has no doctor and no cancer battling equipment, but is filled with elite religious people of your faith, and they are all praying for your recovery 24 hrs a day until God heals you. The second room is filled with state of the art equipment built to deliver the best forms of chemotherapy and other relevant treatments, but the doctor giving you treatment is also an athiest who performs abortions in his spare time.

You can only be treated by one of these rooms. Which one would you pick?

Especially when they don't take the time to formulate any legitimate argument for it. They make me want to vomit my gizzards on to the sidewalk.

Just curious.
