If you believe in the math and physics which form the basis of those probabilities then what we define as "life" is undoubtedly a narrow and arbitrary classification based on an incredibly arbitrary, narrow and incomplete understanding of physical reality and our quaint little list of physical...

It's funny to me that people will eagerly believe that there is alien life somewhere (to the point of saying that mere doubt is "laughable") without even a single shred of proof, yet they will dismiss or mock those who believe in God for the exact same reason. The mathematical improbability...

Oh for crying out loud, stop with the false dichotomies already. Drug prohibition and open borders are both problems. Comparing Latin-American immigration to European, African and Asian immigration is not valid because we are separated from those continents by vast oceans. America cannot...

Yeah, actually nobody here is "supposed to be" for or against anything. We're not a public union here, we won't drag you from class and force you to march on our behalf ;) Most of us "libertarian/conservatives" or whatever have come to the conclusion that the system is broken. Or, if you...

I would consider adding Bush and Obama to the list. Bush and Obama's war policies have been identical so far. Ditto for bailouts, corporate welfare, Federal reserve chairmen, etc. More and more independent voters are ever-so-slowly coming around to that reality, and to the total lack of...

I don't want to turn this into an ad hominem but I'm curious to know if you have children in public school. Nobody is accusing teachers of being "fat cats" anymore than one would accuse doctors or soldiers or public defenders etc of being "fat cats." The point is that these people sign...

I made it onto the YT radio show once and ol' Cenk cut me off after about two sentences. Glad to see that four years later he's learning to tolerate opposing viewpoints.

The racism thing is scurrilous and a true smear and falsehood. But Ron Paul's supporters do chant End the Fed, and they are by no means crazy. Ron Paul did write a bestselling book by the same name, you know. Basic economic literacy probably seems crazy to some these days, but "it is no...

The same way the secular left and many others do. Our current agnostic socialist prez has tripled the number of troops in Afghanistan since his religious predecessor left office.

Didn't Barack Obama do this exact thing during the 2008 campaign? It seems to have worked okay for him. This site and others such as C4L are great, but there's simply too much info for the average fence-sitting voter to easily digest. I've been here off and on for a couple years and this...

Emazur, I understand where you're coming from. I'm sorry I missed your other post defending religion in the maelstrom. As a Catholic, it especially bothers me to see Just War theory invoked (improperly, in my opinion) by people who don't fully subscribe to the faith that actually produced it...

How am I misreading it? Emazur used the term "the brainwashed" immediately before directly referring to the president of the Southern Baptist Convention with "this guy isn't the only one to do so." He then directly quoted the aforementioned president of the SBC. I see no way to interpret that...

Something's not right here. I just watched "Red" with Bruce Willis, as well as "The Bourne Identity," and according to those movies most CIA agents are superhuman killing machines who can literally plow through large crowds of trained soldiers, officers and agents from any other organization on...

Affirmative action should be based on income. It would still disproportionately benefit minorities.

More of your tax dollars hard at work. http://www.registerguard.com/csp/cms/sites/web/news/cityregion/25937055-46/state-property-inmates-prison-claims.csp
