Dane Cook sucks.


God doesn't exist. Evolution and the Big Bang is how it all happened. We're all alone, and none of us are going to any sort of afterlife when we die. Death is the cessation of brain and organ functions - think of death as what it was like before you were born. Your mind, your entity, won't exist.


No matter what promises of bipartisanship he made, Obama is still a liberal, treehugging Communist.


Raw capitalism is dead, it can only be revived if I turn into the president and 3 CEOs of major companies.


Diet sodas are better than sugary, syrupy regular sodas

Minty gum beats fruity gum.


The Departed rules, Step Brothers sucks. The Godfather is great, Disaster movie was a disaster.


War is a stabilizing event for a country because it gives us something to do. Rome was successful because all they did was war; whenever they stopped, they had social unrest/economic hardship. If America started conquering again, the world would be a better place.


We will be paying for this 4 years of unlimited government spending for the rest of our lives.


Electric cars just make your electric bill go up - Although you're not paying for gasoline, you're paying just as much if not more in electrical use - not to mention creating greenhouse gases as coal and oil are burned to produce electricity.


There is nothing wrong with gay marriage, just as there's nothing wrong with abortions. In fact, abortions should be mandated in families where 3 children are already present - global overpopulation is a problem and a threat to the survival of the human species as we start eating more food than we can grow.


Enough diplomatic bull****. If a country insults us, they get invaded. We should have long since invaded Iran, assassinated Hugo Chavez, and sponsored a war between South Korea and North Korea.


The UN should be disassembled, as should NAFTA and NATO. NATO's primary purpose has shifted from fighting communism to fighting terrorism - and terrorism is here to stay in the age of modern military tactics. NAFTA is just an excuse for Mexicans to cheat the US out of resources (Canada does too, but at a lesser extent.
)

We should have never invaded Iraq - instead, we should have pressed the UN to impose sanctions on Saddam Hussein's government.


The US government should start a GSE (Government Sponsored Enterprise - see Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae) which produces and sells marijuana, so the government has another legitimate source of income besides taxing the hell out of the top half of the US.


The IRS should be completely shut down and in its place a higher sales tax should be implemented - forcing prostitutes, migrant workers, and illegal immigrants to contribute money to society.


The government should forbid Internet Service Providers from setting monthly bandwidth caps, which is a ridiculous idea - almost like a highway charging you for every mile you drive.



Feel free to argue with any or all of my thoughts above - do so and prepare to get rocked by my extensive knowledge. Keep in mind I don't do drugs, the only reason I support the legalization of marijuana is because it contributes a source of income to our government.

What I want to know is if you have extensive knowledge, what can you tell us about the aliens?

How about the structure of reality?

What about the Higgs Bosen? What is it and will they find it?

What is the Holy grail?

Who is making all these crop circles? (I want names and addresses if they are human.)

No they aren't and I will tell you why.

Fake sweetness of diet soda (with aspartame) triggers insulin into the blood stream looking for sugar.

If there is no sugar in the bloodstream, the body starts to crave it. If there is a little bit of sugar in the blood stream the insulin removes it causing a low blood sugar condition and weakness and ultimately a need for sugar energy.

So the diet soda will cause you to crave food or sweets and lower your blood sugar levels.

Also, aspartame has unknown side effects and too much of it will effect your vision and who knows what else. Natural sugar drinks are better, but even better is to drink real fruit juices and forget soda.

Whew...well I am just going to say something about this part of the quote, since in your infinate wisdom, there was just too much to cover.

Because you believe evolution and the big bang is how it happened, how can you prove God doesn't exist? I am not talking about religions..because there are many of those. If you look at all life, it is logical and set up perfectly for what it is supposed to do. (I won't even discuss the miracle of birth with you since you are a young male and have no clue, but I am sure all the women who have been a part of this understand) You may be a very smart young man, but if you are, you are surely not closed minded already!!

In my mind, everything that has come about had to be part of a plan,one thing feeding off of the next off of the next. You may say, well the gasses and the atom and the..well..pffft. Where did it all actually start?? Prove to me that you know that, and we will discuss God or the lack of :smile:

You should read Jurassic Park and The Lost World for Michael Crichton's ideas about how life is logical and set up perfectly (chaos theory supplements this)

The "miracle" of birth? two sex cells merge, reproduce, form an embryo, which grows into a fetus, which is born and becomes a baby. Not a miracle - just basic reproduction.

"Where did it all actually start??"
Who says the universe has a starting period? I think it's always been here.


Besides, materialistic evidence (quarks, outer space, carbon dating) builds a much more plausible case than some giant up in the sky who made us in his image (which is extremely similar to an evolved monkey). Religion was okay back 1000 years ago when we didn't know where lightning came from or why steel is steel and water is a reaction of 2 hydrogen molecules and an oxygen molecule

Before you or anyone can begin to discuss whether or not "God" exists, please define what "GOD" actually is.

Here, you assume that "GOD" is some "giant up in the sky."

A rather infantile concept of the term "God" I think.

Also it seems apparent that you have accepted the Christian version of "God" and him "making man in his image."

So if that is the god you are talking about, I agree. He does not exist.

so, where did the materialistic evidence come from? I never said that "poof, everything came about". I am a few years older than you are, so I have read those enjoyable fictional books a few years ago :smile:
I do believe there is a bit of truth in everything, the problem is how to filter it out. If life was meant to be black and white like it seems you feel, people would lose out on the emotional side of it. It would be very sad to wake up and not be able to enjoy a sunrise just because you know the scientific reasoning behind it.

Jeannie..I do believe the young man has just closed his mind off to any possibilities that will not 'add up' to his way of thinking. Sad at his age.

Oh..the chaos theory. If there is something the chaos theory proves is that there is no chaos. Just because we don't fully understand how nature and the universe works and base our knowledge on assumptions and theories that hare barely standing on their feet..it doesn't mean, that things are 'chaotic'. Actually new research shows that absolutely is nothing is chaotic, everything happens for a reason and within a set of given circumstances the outcome can be predicted.

God doesn't exist. Evolution and the Big Bang is how it all happened. We're all alone, and none of us are going to any sort of afterlife when we die. Death is the cessation of brain and organ functions - think of death as what it was like before you were born. Your mind, your entity, won't exist.


Completely wrong. If nature proved anything, that is it does not waste anything. And the 'big bang theory'- is based on a narrow minded science that instead of trying to gather information, it shuts out 99% of whatever doesn't suit their beliefs or puts their theory down the drain.

He will change. A truth seeker must never close their mind off... if they do, they will not grow an inch.

Im impressed not so much with your scientific knowledge, but with your committed opinions to so many controversial subjects at such a young age.

Hats off to You. drinker
