It is unfortunate that this thread has attracted two trolls of the thread killing variety. Such trolls are not necessarily those that try to encourage discussion with baited posts, but the type that discourage it through non sequiturs and ad homs. They are invariably those who litter forums...

C'mon voters and check your spine at the door. It worked for me!

America: dragging Afghans into the 15th century whether they like it or not! It ain't easy and a new poll of U.S. soldiers shows Vietghanistan is taking its toll.

To borrow from an old lawyer joke, "How can you tell when a creationist is lying? A: When he opens his mouth to speak. Creationist lying, whether when engaging others or quietly to oneself, is a given, is it not? Specific lies seem trivial against the backdrop of creationism's history of...

Was an alleged World Trade Center even built? The government has never produced the Towers' birth certificate. After years of post-9/11 jaw-boning, Ground Zero remains as it always was: an empty lot. Sure, they'll throw up another hologram and do their F/X thing to whip people into thinking...

My suggestion would be the track from "Jaws." People know it, it has great tension and it would be a funny build-up to a climatic whizz gone wrong in place of a shark attack. I'm a music snob, not a film snob, but I hope that doesn't diminish my qualifications too much.

I have no such notion. This is your unjustified inference and nothing more. You're ignoring the fact that the perceptive and mental processing abilities of children are far different than those of adults. That's the point of the post. Drifting into marketing to adults again is off-topic and...

What does the original post have to do with marketing to adults, Hytegia? Why not stay on topic and contribute something of interest? :roll:

Marketing to children is fraught with evils, yet it remains a problem well under the radar. Joe Camel pushing cigarettes, Ronald McDonald pimping cheeseburgers, and the Trix rabbit (now more recognized than Bugs Bunny) hawking junk cereal are all cut from the same cloth: they prey upon a...

Word is out that bin Laden was unarmed, casting a shadow over what now appears to be his murder. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/04/us-binladen-europe-idUSTRE74366D20110504

Honestly, Hytegia, you've posted better.

I understand the Catholic Church's point of view that Saints don't answer prayers, they only bend The Big Ear on behalf of the supplicant. This argument appears to follow the same pretzel logic as the Trinity conundrum. The Church of Rome will say anything before it will admit that...

Then I would, if you'll allow, say that you know less about saints than I do, and that's quite an accomplishment. My point all along has been that people pray to saints, which by definition makes saints gods. People do not, as a rule, pray to knights, hall of famers or black belts in karate...

Catholics pray to saints and give them special powers, like Jude and lost causes and some other one I forgot who's supposed to know where you lost your car keys. Surely answering prayers and performing miracles requires godlike powers, making beatification an adornment of power, if you will...

I can't quell the feeling that Pope Rat is paving the way for his own beatification. The history of sainted Popes, of which Pope John-Paul-Dunderhead is only the latest, is checkered indeed. Once again I find myself lost in the miasma of Catholic polytheism. They've got Trinities where...

I'm glad we got him, but doubt it'll do much to slow terrorism. I am of the mind that, from our Middle East wars to our dealings with Israel, the US is creating, not combating, terrorism. Stay tuned for reprisals. :(

No one here really expects the Birthers to quit do they? Five will get you ten that they'll hold that his alleged birth certificate was forged by the CIA in exchange for Obama's selection of Gen. David Petraeus as the new CIA Director. And, as if further evidence of a cover-up was needed...

As if nearly 50 years of JFK assassination conspiracies aren't enough, his brother's killer now claims that a mysterious woman in a polka-dot dress (the same one who was on that grassy knoll in Dallas, no doubt) brainwashed him into killing Bobby Kennedy. Despite Sirhan's hand-written notes of...

What's the point of engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent?
