Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

I wonder if they play sitars in Hindi heaven rather than harps. If so Ravi will be seriously doing some face melting solos! RIP. I enjoyed his ragas. "You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end. Your knowledge of what is going on can only be superficial and relative" William S. Burroughs

Alas, no longer carrying on as usual. "There is no great invention, from fire to flying, which has not been hailed as an insult to some god." J. B. S. Haldane

Patty Andrews, the last surviving sister, dead at 94. Unless I'm mistaken, she's the one with the short solo in the middle of this: Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. -- Thomas Jefferson We see monsters where science shows us windmills. -- Phat It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

As someone who saw him 'debate', I thought I'd write something good about him. I could think of: well, he lived to a ripe old age. Nothing else came up. So, I'd rather not write anything else.

8 to the bar, baby! My Mom would have been about her age. She married my father just before sending him off to the Pacific theater in 1942. She adored the Andrews Sisters: she couldn't sing much, but she was a better dancer than the Sisters Can't you just hear the rock coming, though?

I have mixed feelings about him. I mostly disliked him but he did have his moments where he said a few things that I agreed with (especially when he was critical of US foreign policy and of the Bush admin). I also like socialism at it's core so I supported that aspect of his politics. But overall he was like most politicians, a bag of shit. - Oni Edited by onifre, : No reason given.

http://www.answersingenesis.org/home/area/bios/d_gish.asp quote: Edited by NoNukes, : spell balance correctly Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

Well said. He was an evil man consumed by his passion to do violence to the truth. Had he not been so hapless, I'd have had to stand over his grave till I was sure he was dead. "If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs, you can collect a lot of heads."
