Thanks everyone

Hu????

LOL, I am just giving you a hard time, its cool

Maybe you need to get out more

I've seen some of them team members, and I have to agree with you . This is the captain of the team though. I think there were a few that were better looking than her, but of course their names never make the news. LOL, she looks like the evil Borg queen from Star Trek! I got to watch some of the skating last night, and they all did pretty good jobs. To bad Kwan had to bow out.

I am glad to be around. Thanks ya'll! And Scathane, I'll be your ball and chain anytime

We must do something about that... It all come down to time, and I have little

I know some very nice women from Canadia, but I can say that I do not know any that play hocky. And the picture in my head is a scarry one! Like a big tough chick with a mullet and missing teeth

Someone just pointed this out to me, but my 3 year anniversery of visiting this site recently passed!! Some have asked me why I come here, since I have never played Rebellion () and I have to tell them that it is because I have meet so many great and cool people here . I am glad to have had a chance to converse with many of you and I hope we are all still around in another 3 years! Thats for always being so welcoming and friendly! Cheers!

Ya, you got to watch out for those tough canadian women!

I like to watch the ice skating, but that is pretty much it for me. I am not a "winter sports" type of girl

LOL, ya it is his uncle Zeb

I am That is cool, although it reminds me of a jukebox

Happy Birthday!

A few quotes from one of my new favorite songs: Oddly poetic for this thread, but I thought it 'fit'

It tells me I should download IE6... Unfortunately, I have IE7 or FF1.5.0.1... Apparently I'm too advanced for this video... LOL, to bad, its funny!

Here is a video that made me laugh

Thanks.....

Thank you

This is gross, but funny: http://whatupwilly.blogspot.com/2006/01/in-n-out-100x100.html http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/113/2202/400/Halloween2004%20086.jpg

thats kind of funny, in a sad way I can relate. I grew up in the south and not a single school I went to from jr high till I graduated hs taught any history other than that of the Civil War I did not really learn about any of the others until I got to college, pretty sad, but I guess you could say we are still dwelling on it.

Wow, ok, I am not going to go there (that far at least, this, again, is a seperate thread all together) but they were believeing what they were brainwashed to believe. But that does not make it right, as you said. @ Scathane I'll get back to you on that. Not thinking to well tonight (my dog died today )

As long as they don't try to turn the Christmas songs into Science lessons. Sure. Like I said, I am not anti-religion, just anti-religion in science classes. What you are proposing has nothing to do with ID/Evolution, it is a separate battle on its own and deserves a different thread in order to keep this one on topic. Feel free to open one if you like.

HS should not be teaching creationism/ID. It is religion, and religion has no place in a science class. Evolution is not an old outdated theory, or why would we still use it everyday!? Everyone use to believe that the world was literaly created in 7 days, but that is not the common beliefe anymore. It should not be taught in any class that a HS (public at least) would offer. Teach it in church, go right ahead. I don't even see how people who are ultra-religious can even stand behing ID as being a scince and an alternative to evolution when even the freaking Vatican does not agree with them!!! http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/363447/intelligent_design_not_science_vatican_paper/index.html "Vatican Says "intelligent design" Not Science Tom Heneghan at RedOrbit.com has this report: The Roman Catholic Church has restated its support for evolution with an article praising a U.S. court decision that rejects the "intelligent design" theory as non-scientific. The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano said that teaching intelligent design -- which argues that life is so complex that it needed a supernatural creator -- alongside Darwin's theory of evolution would only cause confusion. The ID movement sometimes presents Catholicism, the world's largest Christian denomination, as an ally in its campaign. While the Church is socially conservative, it has a long theological tradition that rejects fundamentalist creationism. "Intelligent design does not belong to science and there is no justification for the demand it be taught as a scientific theory alongside the Darwinian explanation," said the article in the Tuesday edition of the newspaper. Evolution represents "the interpretative key of the history of life on Earth" and the debate in the United States was "polluted by political positions," wrote Fiorenzo Facchini, a professor of evolutionary biology at Italy's Bologna University."

1st: WTF? First of all, I don't consider an article in Time to be hard science. And even if Ray Blanchard did publish in a journal this theories, that does not make them facts. And what is the big deal that the science types and the religious types differ in oppinion on this. Is that a big suprise? I think not. It is that way with many things. Science can prove it and draw a picture to show them, but they still do not want to believe it. So why waste the effort on trying to drill it into thier heads, IMO. Agreed. 2nd: Another WTF here. This is not true. Urban Legend and corporate BS Evolution is random and unperdictable. Thats what makes it great! I understand that... I never said it did... I was merely making the point that the need for finding meaning in the things we study is a human trait. For religious people as well as scientific people. Think along these lines: how far would general scientific research have been today if the human race had never felt the need to find meaning to the world around it? The human race would not be where it is today. Which may have been a good thing....People would still die at young ages and would not live to be an average age of 75 (or whatever it is). The planet most likely would not be over populated. Science has gotten us where we are today. Not religion. So, aside fro emotions, are there any other points/questions to discuss? I saw this survey the other day which maybe of interest to this topic: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4648598.stm And some other numbers: Take Genesis literally = "creationism": USA: 45% UK: 22% Think God guided evolution = intelligent design: USA: 25% UK: 17% Favor godless evolution: USA: 12% UK: 48% "Remember that just 200 years ago a similar survey would have found a great majority, perhaps nearly all, in both countries taking the Bible literally. In all other western nations creationism has suffered severe losses to the point that no majority supports Genesis, pure selective evolution is usually accepted by nearly half the population, and large majorities accept human descent from apes and other animals. This is a historically remarkable accomplishment in a western world where only a quarter of the population has college degrees, and about 6 in 10 believe in some aspect of the paranormal (ESP, astrology, alien abductors, Bush is a competent, honest president)." ~ Greg Paul
