"No One" wrote in message ... David Ruether wrote: "No One" wrote in message ... Just look at their [regarding Clinton and the "left", presumably...] other tenants of faith: socialism, global warming, evolutionism. It doesn't matter that both history and science prove these postulates wrong for it is a question of faith to them. They have the faith in these ideals and now they wish to force their religion on the rest of the non-believers. If this were not such a bad joke (or if it was truly intended to be sarcasm...), it could be funny instead of stupid. I can't name a single Democrat who truly believes in Socialism, can you (really?!)? If you (and enough others) don't believe we should take global warming seriously and that we should do something about it soon, I hope you (and and the rest of us) don't get caught up in the rapid and destructive climate changes that are highly predictable and likely. As for evolution, not believing the incredible amount of evidence supporting it is nuts - and I think the three 'Bublican presidential candidates who said in the CNN debates that they didn't believe that evolution was true are just that (nuts). Golly gee whiz - this ***IS*** the 21st century - it's time to get past believing in unsupported mythologies and into the era of science!!! As in, the sun *never* revolved around the earth, regardless of how strongly religion pushed that idiotic belief! Science is not religion - and if you don't know what the difference is, well, gosh, what *can* one say that is meaningful......?! --DR No, I was not being sarcastic. Study science and you will see that these are tenants of faith, not science. CO2 as a warming gas was dismissed in the 1950's. Evolution as a theory of origins has been disproved by physics, chemistry, genetics and mathematics. By definition, science must hold to the scientific method, yet none of these tenants are. It is all a matter of belief. As for evolutionism, the same could be said for creationism. The science will only get you so far. To believe in either theory takes faith, not science. Science existed long before Charles' plagiarized theory. It will exist long after it is finally abandoned. I reiterate my comments, above. And, does the term "crackpot" sound familiar to you...? ;-) While I admire the courage of those who hold beliefs counter to those that are generally held and that are well supported by evidence (those unusual ideas *can*, though *rarely*, be eventually proven correct), asking for 3 out of 3 of your wacky, not well supported beliefs to be correct is asking for too much, even by the simple rules of chance. And, most of your statements are simply incorrect, even though you may have found some obscure sources that support them.. As an aside, we had a rather well known scientist and theoretician here who came up with some "unusual" ideas that most rejected, but some eventually became accepted with testing. The difference is, though, that he was originating ideas that could be tested, not rejecting concepts that *had* been tested (whether or not you believe the results, or read only narrow nonsense that supports your odd views...). It is a long term process, trying to shift people from holding firm beliefs regardless of the presence of real evidence (or of even contrary evidence) or not, to something like having people seek the best possible information regarding concepts *before* they commit themselves to supporting or opposing them. Or, I do hope we *eventually* get most people to think, and to get them out of the medieval mind-set of accepting as truth whatever happens to come along that is written, no matter how fanciful. -- David Ruether http://www.donferrario.com/ruether |

Just look at their other tenants of faith: socialism, global warming, evolutionism. It doesn't matter that both history and science prove these postulates wrong Flat-out lie. Evolution is proven. Global warming is widely accepted. Socialism is a right-wing bogeyman. If you think evolution is proven, you have been duped. Never mind that it's been proven by using a wide variety of sciences, you're a religious idiot who prefers to keep your head up your ass. It is nowhere near proven. But you're a liar. -- Ray Fischer |

If the Attorney General won't bring charges, what recourse do Americans have to force the President of the United States to obey the law? It used to be illegal for Blacks to sit in the front of a bus, or drink out of a drinking fountain labeled for use by Whites only, or to use a bathroom not specifically set aside for use by Blacks. That something is illegal doersn't mean much, really, except that some people think it should be illegal. Privacy is not guaranteed by the US Constitution. Have you even read the Constitution? Please quote the article that mentions "Privacy". I don't play that kind of childish game with stupid assholes. The Constitution doesn't mention TV or radio either, and yet it's only a few morons who think that freedom of the press applies only to newspapers. The word "privacy" doesn't need to appear in the Constitution in order for there to be a right of privacy. "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." The right to privacy is considered to be derived from the Bill of Rights, most specifically from Amendment IV quoted above. http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/...cs/billeng.htm Not even the Supreme Court, in Roe v Wade, could find a right to privacy there; Unless you're a stupid liar. Notice that the government is banned from "unreasonable searches". Apparently you're not smart enought o realize that that means "privacy". And now we are left with trying to define "unreasonable". Done that. For instance, I find the searches at a typical American airport unreasonable, but if I state so, I'll be invited not to fly anyway. You have no right to fly anywhere at all. If I'm pulled over for speeding, I do not see why that gives cops the right to search my vehicle, yet they can. Not without permission, they can't. See, you're problem is that you're a moron but you think that your ignorance is justification to believe anything you want. The real world doesn't work that way. -- Ray Fischer |
