I watched the whole debate earlier and I've time to think about it. Both TF and Landon had valid points and I can see were both of the them are coming from. Judging from the comments on the vids I watched though there's still a lot of people jumping on the TF hate wagon. I think people are...

Just had a quick look at this and the first artcile it had was a promotion for the "Health Ranger" Mike Adams. For those who don't know about him, he's one of these nutcases that promotes 'natural' cures as apposed to traditional medicine. You can read up on this "dangerous conspiracy-mongering...

Yeah, the SGU is a great example of how to present these types of shows. Have a word with Rebecca Watson as she's been involved in quite a few of these. I also recomment listening to Skeptics With A K and Science Sort Of. Possible show segments: - News - Interviews - Panel Games - Mail Bag...

Re: Vatican's Assertion that The Simpsons Are Catholic Unfou No mention of Lisa being a Buddist?

Re: Atheism is the lack of belief in god... QualiaSoup's tak That's the point I was making.

Re: Atheism is the lack of belief in god... QualiaSoup's tak In the mind of the baby and in the world where no god exists. There is no 1 as you put it. If there is no 1 then the terms +1 and -1 are meaningless because 1 has yet to be established. Look at it this way, up until now you've...

What? There's a big difference between someone being arrested for taking a recreational drug for personal use and someone killing someone else! If we were to vastly improve the education regarding drugs so that people knew the risks, etc. Would you change your stance?

A wise man once told me to not chase a high I could not naturally achieve. I ignored that man! IMO We should legalise drugs, slap warning signs on them (like we do with cigs and are thinking about doing with booze) and sell them at lecienced chemists where their distribution can be...

Produce a working model of your machine. And I will invest 1,000,000,000 (UGX) into your business!

Well there wouldn't be any made-made pollution around so that would be a good thing. But I predict that some other sentient life form whether it evolved on Earth or had an alien origin would eventually turn up and start messing with the percieved balance of nature.

We are part of the food chain, we give plant life C02, help with transportation of plant seeds, etc Allowed by whom? If we hadn't evolved the way we have then the Earth would probably be a different place than it is today. Since we can only speculate on what this alternative Earth would look...

Re: Atheism is the lack of belief in god... QualiaSoup's tak This whole agnosticism fence sittting annoys me. We need to establish that there are only 4 view points one can take when it comes to God / Gods / god. You are an either: 1. Gnostic Theist 2. Agnostic Theist 3. Gnostic Atheist 4...

:idea: Hypothetically you can get a job which requires you to work on Sundays. This way you'll have a legitamite reason for not going to church without having to lie to your gran. Pros: - You don't have to lie to your gran. :mrgreen: - You'll get paid! :D Cons: -You have to wotk on a...

Re: Atheism is the lack of belief in god... QualiaSoup's tak Great video, It should clear some of the confusion of subject of atheism. What we need now though is a universal deinition of 'God' and even 'god' 'cus this words causes the most problems.

I think that one of the main problems with this saga is that certain people put Dawah on a pedestal. He was the much sought after / prophesied 'moderate muslim' that we had all been waiting for! Someone we could have a rational debate with, someone who could help bridge the gap between our...

This really depends of your definition of 'art'. Using a broad definition, anything can be considered art. So yes, video games are a form of art. Whether they appeal to their audience is another thing. http://www.langlandsandbell.com/obl03.html Several years ago the 'artists' Langland & Bell...

If it is a straight up debate, Hitchens would thrash Blair. But I can see Blair doing what most politicians do. He'll avoid any direct questions which he can't answer and resort to repeating some crappy half-arsed argument again, again and again..... Just replace Paxman with Hitchens.

I would usually advocate being honest. But in this case keeping up the charade seems to be the best policy. It seems that telling the truth will only hurt your parnets and extended family. But what they don't know will not hurt them.
