Nothing wrong with Wave-Surfing (or Diving, for me) at any rate or time :D

Clutching a serpent to your breast is the 'nice' option when dealing with a serpent. It is not the christian one. If you don't "get it", you'll constantly misunderstand an awful lot of real-world christian practice that is perfectly normal and conforms to christian teaching. I dont know. Putting a ...

You are overstating the point I was making so let me make myself clearer. I was objecting to the fact that you denied that legitimate scientific skeptics pf global warming existed in Europe. I found several in a quick google search which tells me that you've been drinking some sort of groupthink ko...

Jesus' teaching wasn't that "The world would be a better place if we where[sic] a bit nicer to eachother[sic]". Whipping the money changers from the Temple was not "nice". Turn the other cheek (once you understand it in its proper cultural context) is nonviolent resistence, again not "nice". Saying...

Please, Ralph: Find an honest site. Referencing thereligionofpeace.com on Muslims is like referencing Rush Limbaugh for a discussion of Gloria Steinem. Well, you find on the web what you want to find. That site Ralph uses is basically anti-islamic propaganda. If you search for that, you have to fin...

Does the name Henk Tennekes ring a bell? It didn't to me until I googled Europe global warming skeptics and found his name along with Aksel Winn-Nielsen, Alfonso Sutera, and Antonio Speranza in this article talking about how such voices get silenced. After reading that article I don't much care for...

Just minor notes, since I agree with the general opinion this once: 1. The "new fighting codex of the Taliban" was published in a Swiss daily; forgive me if that seems just the tiniest bit suspicious. Until there's a provenance, I'm classing it with the Area 51 security manual. Yes, the Paper is ca...

I already stopped reading 2 of Raphs Comics. There are enough interesting Comics on the Web that actually update. It would pain me to leave TotQ, because I find it very refreshing and thought out (This might be because i am a Pen&Paper Roleplayer). Heh, i even tried to motivate RH in suggesting i pa...

Do you see the problem? Yes, indeed I do. But i dont think that Jesus was born to a virgin (as in, without sex or male human sperm - the english word eludes me atm), nor that budda had the sun shining from his butt or anything like that. All our wise men (and women, should there be some mentioned) ...

1. Global warming will not do us in because it's a lie. A scam, a falsehood, a load of bullsh*t. It may be happening, but there is no proof that we are causing it or can fix it. Or that we should given that the last warming period resulted in bumper crops for Europe. Not a bad trade-off for less sn...

Guys, guys, guys... Just be happy she wasnt a boy :twisted: That kind of thing seems to be so common, they have specific regulations in the new fighting codex of the Taliban - see point 19 against it.

Take a week to really dig into Islam's history and see what you find. I think you'll be suprised. And from someone who has taught Muslims in an Islamic country...

So Ralph's suggestion is to ban islam from islamic countries. You might want to check history books: even the romans didnt manage to rout out christians back in the early days, despite throwing them to lions, prosecuting them and even killing them on sight if caching them praying/preaching. Lets say...

While I dont doubt that your precious Marines are of much higher fighting power than the average Muslim Soldier, Marines need sleep to. Marines need to drive over roads to get to places. Planes need to land. etc. And thats why i seriously doubt 1:50 is still possible, nowadays. A grenade falling dow...

It may have been said a thousand times now, but if Baghdad is only a beachhead, its the beach of Iceland, if you draw to comparisation to WW2. Of course, Germany wasnt in iceland, but the general direction (east-ish) is right, and better start somewhere. Meanwhile, Afghanistan is almost completely b...

Well, you cant win. You couldnt win from the start. The way I see it, there are three ways to end this conflict between Muslims and the West: 1. Kill/convert all the Muslims to something else. 2. kill/convert all the Westerners and Muslim moderates. 3. Support the moderates to control their religio...

By keeping a magnet in a vacuum connected to a turbine with an electromagnet on the outside, power can be generated that causes the magnet to rotate and turn the turbine, generating power. The amount of energy produced by this effect is anywhere from 200 to 300% the input. You guessed it; it's over...

Well, you cant win. You couldnt win from the start. Whats likely to happen is: you overstrain yourself, pull out, the country falls into chaos, pulling some neighbouring states into it.
