For clarity, before people start calling you bad names, when you use the term warfare you refer to organized, ongoing conflict, correct? And not to skirmishes over opportunistic kills, etc. between family groups. One of my friends is native and takes anthropology and aboriginal history...

Why shouldn't someone who likes an artists work be able to pay them to work on projects with them? Is the artist suppose to live on praise alone? Unless you're sending him food and shelter in the mail it's kind of silly to look down on it. And his art is pretty damn cool :)

Once you relieve a person of accountability they are capable of the foulest crimes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment edit: and more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment

Sorry to hear about your dad. Now go do something he would have liked you to do to celebrate his life.

If anyone enjoyed 'Day of the Triffids' book or BBC miniseries in 81, the remake came out as a two parter this week and can be found on your friendly neighborhood torrent sites. It has a bigger budget, but I think I might like the 1981 show better. Then again, things often age better in memory...

Yes, yes, I know why. Blah blah blah. And I'm going to be putting you on ignore unless you give this shit up. At least Brevity got you to stop talking like Yoda for 5 minutes.

It doesn't matter if your gods make universes or cookies. Imaginary is imaginary.

Yes. And it reaffirms what I've seen from various other sources. Funny thing is I've never seen this viewpoint on American new channels. I've seen it on Canadian, BBC, Al-Jazeerah, but can't think of the last time I saw CNN question what's going on there.

I wish you'd actually take part in conversations instead of doing that sad "I must pose everything I say as a question" or the 'We believe' followed by nonsense. Anyway, if you read what I said it can't be assumed that every Greek intellectual believed in Zeus as a counter to the weak minded claim.

The people you would consider historically great greeks weren't necessarily believers either. Atheism is not new :) The Roman Seneca the Younger had some really great things to say about religion. Namely that it was a big scam for controlling the people :) And the Romans looked to the greeks...

It's a great video :) WARNING! Requires thought. Do not ingest if allergic to critical thinking!

There aren't any gaps for me to fill. There is only new knowledge and experiences to assimilate.

Religion will not explain it any more than if I say the universe was created in a tin pot by a hunchback with a urinary infection. First off you're making some pretty ignorant assumptions. You say "nothing" became what it is today. You make an assumption that there was nothing. You don't know...

I think it's safe to say that most liars for Jesus don't understand that Evolution, whether you're a Darwinian, Lamarckian, etc. is just change over time. They don't get that a perfect example of evolution is the average of 150 mutations in male humans each generation. Or how a gene (or genes)...

Darwin's Theory is actually the Origin of Species via Natural Selection, not just man. In fact when people bring up Darwin coming up with the idea of evolution, and him just being one man, they're wrong. He didn't. Darwin's work was on the mechanism up evolution. The concept of evolution had...

Evidence for whom? You won't find any astronomers at NASA, the European Space Agency, Japan, China, Russia, etc. who wouldn't call you out for that BS.

I'll be checking it out eventually. I've just been running movies I've already seen in the background all day and night while I sort though a massive amount of files. I'd miss too much playing it right now :)

Is not believing in unicorns or gremlins a faith? No. Atheism is just the application of common sense regarding imaginary, supernatural creations.

It's simple. People are lazy. If you give a lazy person a choice between understanding the molecular interaction between viruses and cells, or the option to just say "demons make people sick", guess which one they'll chose. It takes seconds to understand the concept of demon. You can...

Control, kill, and rape entire populations. Yes, it does indeed :-?
