When you find a post that is too good to be missed, nominate it here as one of the August, 2010, Posts of the Month (POTM). You message subtitle should include the author's name and the topic/thread title. Message Format:
Nominations should include a link to the nominated article, and a short comment on why the message deserves nomination. Note: As always, this is not a thread for debates. Posts should be limited to nomination, seconds, and acceptance statements by nominees. {This new version is a half month late and nobody missed it. I guess nobody's posting anything POTM worthy anymore.}

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes. — Salman Rushdie This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen

Forum: Social Issues and Creation/Evolution Thread: Obama supports Ground Zero mosque. Religious freedom or is he being too PC? Message #: 75 A spot-on description of why the Constitution exists.
Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Add "PaulK at Obama supports Ground Zero mosque. Religious freedom or is he being too PC?" subtitle. Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Change POTM credit from PaulK to Rahvin. Rrhain Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time. Minds are like parachutes. Just because you've lost yours doesn't mean you can use mine.

I second the motion. There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other WT Young, 2002 Who gave anyone the authority to call me an authority on anything. WT Young, 1969 Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008

You may want to change that to Rahvin - PaulK doesn't have a (written) constitution {POTM credit changed - And here I thought PaulK was on a run - Adminnemooseus} Edited by Adminnemooseus, : Add comment.

Forum: Is It Science? Thread: Creation as Science Message #: 66 A reply to Archaeologist that stands out in two ways: 1 - It contains relevant quality information presented in a clear and concise fashion (of course, he's mostly quoting one of his earlier messages - Maybe that message got (or should have gotten) a POTM nomination). 2 - It is not like the too many replies to Archaeologist (in that topic and elsewhere) that do not have the qualities stated in (1). Or something like that. Bluescat48 also replied to the same message with a brief comment - OK I guess, but definitely not a POTM. Hotjer also did a longer and rather convoluted reply which may or may not make important points (it's probably way better than any reply I could do, but that's not saying much). Dr Adequate made a reply to a later Archaeologist message that came close to getting him another suspension. Minnemooseus (with additional Adminnemooseus comment) Do NOT reply to the Adminnemooseus content (pretty much everything after point 1), in this topic.

Forum: Miscellaneous Topics in Creation/Evolution Thread: Is Theistic Evolutionist an oxymoron? Message #: Message 55 GDR makes a good point about what being a Christian is really about, and addresses the unfortunate hang-up of some fundamentalists on specific doctrines and biblical interpretations.
I just thought: "spot on". Respectfully, -Meldinoor Edited by Meldinoor, : No reason given.

If so, I put my bid in for Nij. Every single one of his posts is extremely well thought out and extremely well written and he just joined on the 20th. If not a poster of the month award, big ups Nij. You deserve it. Your god believes in Unicorns

Second, I am oh so reminded of so many episodes of The ScreenSavers on TechTV. Those geeks (Lord love them!) would go through that stuff! I remember what Patrick Norton had mounted multiple tera-byte drives in a single PC box and I just sat there geeking out! Then a gaming network, G4, bought them out. Leo LaPorte was the first to go! Every time I go to the Scottish games (Clan Donald, I am! A member of our clan at Loch Prado would visit the Scottish medievel encampment regularly with, "We are the Clan Donald! You will be assimilated! Resistence is futile!"), I see the Utilikilt booth at the Games and remember Patrick Norton! Of course, I also see Leo LaPorte in a kilt starting to spin and then abruptly stopping when the kilt starts flying too high -- lads, there's the old Reader's Digest joke about the British officer in a Highland Regiment (kilted, of course) who is advised by his mother to learn to sit like a lady; one of the things a lady who dances does is to spin-test her skirts, so a lad with a kilt needs to do the same thing. OK, here's the bottom line. Software is what animates the boxes. But if the hardware is not there, then the software can't do anything!
