Both long and short term no we shouldn't drill in ANWR. Because by the time any
of that oil actually gets to consumers (about a decade or more would have passed
in the more optomistic projections if I remember correctly) oil would probably
be a non-issue. Considering that most of the industrialized nations of the world
are trying to develop alternative energy technologies by the time they start
bringing oil to the pipeline the US would probably be using something else.
Don't get me wrong I could care less wether or not they drill there. I'm just
saying it dosen't make any sense to.
You know how they say food tastes better after a brush with death. Well the best
snack I've ever had was some rocky road ice cream. Had it a million times
before, but that one time it was like f**king ambrosia.
I hate to say this but there is some useful historical information in the bible.
While most of the stuff in the bible is absolute crap some of it is a rather
detailed record of the Jewish people and later early Christians, particularly
the book of Judges which is a good record of some brilliant military campaigns
and of tactics that are still in use today.
In the natural world there is only survival and death nothing more, but since
man lacks instincts and without something to govern our actions this species
would probably have wiped itself out millenia ago. Good and evil are merely
concepts created to that end. Don't get me wrong they are an absolutely vital
aspect of what makes us human and necessary for any civilization to function but
only concepts man has created in order to propegate our kind. There was no
devine revelation toward what became good or evil just a simple way to ensure
the welfare of the group. Only recently in our history (about 5000 years ago)
has man taken this survival tool and perverted it in order to force our will
upon others under the guise of "the will of god" and other such
nonsense.
The last time my psychologist gave me an IQ test I got around 145-150 but that
was about a decade ago. Then again after a few years in college (read as heavy
drinking and mild drug use) I probably won't score as high.
I like the new assault rifle the Israelies are developing. It's called the
Tavor. It's made out of composites and has all those nice little bells and
whistles but what really sets it apart is that you could pour sand in the damn
thing and it'll fire. http://www.israeli-weapons.com/weapons/small_arms/tavor/Tavor.html
I think this quote sums up all I have to say about this topic. "Religion is
an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing
good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil
things, that takes religion." (Steven Weinberg, Physicist)
I think you people are putting too much emphasis on "god" in this. The
real focus I think should be the concept of evil and what constitutes something
as being evil. When you look at the natural world there is no good and evil,
only survival and death. Evil is a concept we as humans have created. What
constitutes virtue and sin really is just a matter of perspective but ultimately
vital for society to exist. We as highly evolved social creatures have to set
boundaries to ensure the welfare of the group.
If there is a god, humanity is either some experiment thats gone horribly arwy
or some sick f@#&ed up kind of entertainment. Lets face it at best we are
really fun to watch wether it be indulging in our base needs and desires or our
penchat for destruction. If god does exist why would he, a seemingly
enlightened, omnipotent being, need to witness lower life forms such as
ourselves to grovel at his feet. Oh and you can quote your scriptures all you
want I still say some miserable f&%*ed-up human, wether it be Mohammed,
Moses, or members of Jesus's little cult, wrote it in order to manipulate the
stupid, fearful and weak minded.
Look if humans didn't create god because of man's primitive need to explain what
they don't understand and to feel special, then all he is is some sick,
disgusting, perverted voyeur. Let's face it we're reality TV to that f***ed up
bastard. He creates us gives us all these great things like intelligence,
ingenuity, instincts, and free will and basically tells us that in order to
attain enlightenment, go to heaven, or whatever other bulls*** we can't use
them. We have to turn ourselves into mindless automatons and do nothing but
worship his worthless ass and for what so he could entertain his stupid ass.
Sorry but this species has only gotten hate, violence, and ignorance from
worshiping that bastard. And civilization will NEVER be able to advance unless
we shed the yoke of religion.
Look I hate to say this but if you haven't been watching the news recently we
are on the verge of a massive pandemic. So if we're lucky something like 50% of
the people that get infected will die. Plus the way the world is right now there
is the chance of more ethnic clensings, a terrorist attack involving wmd
(probably not a nuke but a person can make mustard gas and various other
chemical agents with stuff lying around in their basement) and maybe if Bush
feels the urge to invade some other s***hole on the ass end of the world another
large scale war. So while the population of our stupid, short-sighted, and
needlessly violent species is a concern remember that in most of the world that
life is cheap and we would willingly kill each other at the drop of a hat.
I don't collect anything that I'm ashamed of. But if there was something I
should be ashamed of I guess it's my porn collection. I know I really need a
girlfriend but there's just no goddamn time. Just too much stuff to do.
Well if that ever happened to me and my girl the decision to keep it would
ultimately be hers. The only thing I can do is support her in whatever decision
she makes. That's really the Only thing that can be done on my part that would
keep me from putting a gun in my mouth. As for those bastards that would force a
woman into one position or another or run you sicken me to the deepest parts of
my bowels.
Ok so what your saying is that people like Hitler and Stalin intensely
"loved" their respective countries. And that drove them to send tens
of millions of people to death camps and gulags out of "love". You
have to be either fucking naive to the point that you deserve a bullet to the
head or stupid to the point where you would deserve the same fate. For
individuals as twisted as they were probably the only thing they could feel is
hate. Monsters like Pol Pot, Mao, and Hitler only have causes and ideals to have
as an excuse for the atrocities they commit,
I have a Psychologist verified 145 IQ. I'm on the verge of being a genius. BTW I
went to an actual shrink for my results cause I like many others have many
psychological problems.
Dreams where I die a misreable, excruciatingly painful death are pleasant compared to the other f**ked-up s**t that runs through my head.

Neither. I perfer Popeye's.

Well they'll probably air it late on the weekdays since it is an older series and the more hardcore fans probably already have it on dvd.

Does poker count as a sport? I mean it's on ESPN all the time so...

Till around 4 or 5 in the morning. The voices in my head finally quiet down around then.
