difficulty doesn't enter into it, though. we're talking about what should, in theory, happen. should anything difficult not be bothered with because its too hard? the qyestion is SHOULD alcohol be legal or illegal, not if you think it would be hard to make it illegal

frog, what makes alcohol so different that its ok to have legal and currently illegal substances are not?

theres also a greater attention to mental illness now than there was in the past. the hip new thing is that your kid needs to be on drugs for something

going to agree with crazyhomo about it not making sense with using alcohol as a theory of why drugs are bad but then saying "well, we'll keep alcohol legal though" when i start hearing about guys getting high and then beating their wives....then maybe there's some additional costs to consider...

thats what she said seriously though, i do support drugs being legalised because that allows for some regulation....doses can be controlled, and it can be taxed. unrelated, an essay i wrote a couple years back, though relating to drugs in america. but i think a lot of the points aren't...

definitly disagree with the ruling...let the guy be racist, let him try to justify or doubt the existance of the holocaust. it will be VERY clear just how wrong he is to anyone that can read critically. Freedom of speech should include the freedom to be offensive and wrong.

whats selling of bibles have to do with the topic? though i suppose thats then conceding the hampering that science faces due to religion?

yeah, again.....if you accept any of the sciences, you've got to accept the conclusions from them, and/or improve them if the current theory is inadequate

yeah, that should've clicked WAY faster for me, i think i just was mentally grouping it in with geology or something like that, but yeah, that definitly does add physics into the mix there. i meant artificial selection

thats pretty darn artificial

and in science, theories are not "dismissed". they are replaced when a better theory happens. look at how big bang theory has replaced steady state universe, for example. evolution relies not just on biology, but also on fossil records, and much of that is based on geology and chemistry to...

well, India is a valid point considering it does has the third largest population of Muslims, and considering the majority of the population, of both Hindus and Muslims, would be ethnically classified as Indo-aryan and all the languages are all of the same family. Clearly there is something...

thats about as accurate as saying world politics is about things like Germanies. now, i'm not sure why you quote what I said, considering the point i made there was specifically that while astronomy could only be thinly tied to evolution via comets, its heavily tied to the big bang....and we...

yeah, but astronomy doesn't cover the earth's age, geology does. astro doesn't back up the earth's age, though it does give an age for the sun anyway, not debating the direction of your arguement, not-that-bright.....just removing the little cracks they'd try to exploit to dodge real issue...

astronomy is big bang, not evolution. or well, i guess you could technically count comets brining water under evolution, but its a stretch. similarly, its chemistry, working with the astronomy, thats led to much of the formation of big bang theory. astronomy is HEAVILY tied to chemistry

dang, how'd i forget paleontology? though the one think i'll grant....physics isn't reliant on it.....physics really is like pure math

keep in mind the definition of science: with science, you can't not accept part of it because it doesn't fit your pre-decided beliefs...you work with what science proves, and what science predicts. to ignore big bang and evolution is to also ignore biology, geology, astronomy and chemistry...

um, muslims didn't "rule the world", though it was a major player for a while. rule the world implies far more dominance than it had. and what time frame are you counting as being the lifespan of the ottoman empire? eitehr way, its an interesting argument, then, to know that the number...

yeah.....you can't use poor grammar and spelling and not make your posts clear with things like the quote function and then complain that people aren't fully reading your posts and seeing what you're trying to say. one has to at least try to make your posts readible.

what i recall hearing was that it was about 50/50 in Lebanon between Lebanese and Syrians being arrested...though the high Syrian numbers does make a lot of sense
