  2. Perhaps you might add specific ways in which science classes can be taught better. I think the problem in this thread is it is not clear what you mean when you suggest that the classes are being taught improperly.
  3. Perfect analogy from my point of view...
  4. I thought the original Tales from the Crypt (1972) version, would be terrible, but was quite interesting. Except for the pink paint they were using for blood. Joan Collins was super hot !
  5. Rock, I believe Assimov puked in his grave to see what they did to the laws of robotics.... The worst movie lately I have seen is Ocean's 12. I kind of fell asleep in the middle, but did I dream it, or did the Julia Roberts character actually pose as the actual Fart in the wind known as Julia Roberts?? L-A-M-E...
  6. Quite correct. In fact, one could say that any scientific principle except a law would be a "theory"...
  7. I think that GG and CTM are correct, the opposition to evolution is from a very specific, minority group. People who push for ID are the same people who are not interested in examining the issue, they just want it thier way. This is nothing new. The christian church had a great deal to do with delaying scientific progress about a thousand years. They change the rules (ie, the Bible) as it suits them, adding and deleting material as they deem necessary. Religion is the antithesis of science for them. I am a chemist, have been for years. While I personally do not believe in creationism as stated in the bible, that does not mean I don't believe in God. Very few of my colleagues are what would be called atheists. The problem with your arguement OTG is that you assume that the other side here, the ID folks, are interested in the debate. They can't be convinced, because they incorrectly believe that evolution somehow cheapens thier faith. Much like it was once considered blasphemy to have the audacity to say that Earth was not the center of a perfect universe designed by the God of Isreal...
  8. It was mearly a matter of time. ION, Tony Kornholer was saying it was unfair for the team to fire them for thier actions. He says it shouldn't matter what they do as long as they did it outside of work. Can't say I agree. If I were to be arrested for such action, I could probably be fired too. In fact, someone got fired here for stealing from the store down the street...
  9. nothing would delight my soul more than that... Unless........... they could make the playoffs, get destroyed in the first round, ala Miami-Jax, and have Brady break down and cry on the sidelines...
  10. Because Senior Mexico is the NFL's new golden boy. Notice they squashed the whole Mexico thing rather quickly? Mike Vick will likely never become an elite QB, I don't think he has the passing skills....
  11. I feel sorry for the GM that wastes a top 5 on that guy. Sorry, but I have seen all of VTs games, and the guy is just not that good. The team around him makes him appear better than he is. He will stink the joint up in the NFL...
  12. I've got a pair of these studio albums Bloomfield did for Limelight? records. One is called Root of Blues, the other Root of Gospel. They are awesome, you can pick either up for about $6 bucks. That is if you can find em...
  13. I don't remember any. THey were just laughed at for finishing second every year.......
  14. For the love of all that is holy, does BOEING own every company in the country involved in military/aerospace operations? The USS George H. W. Bush is indeed currently under construction in Eastern VA...
  15. It would be very difficult to defeat the two major parties. You would likely have to uproot most of the senate and house, not bloody likely anytime soon. Just getting elected president would be nearly impossible, but wouldn't make that huge of a difference immediately, since the DIMS and SCRUBS would counter your every move out of principle. With respect to being elected as a third-party president, it would take a lot of money firstly. You can't count on campaign financing available to the other two parties; they've got that base fairly well covered. It would take someone with massive charisma, someone that people trust. I would not be surprised if the Internet played a big part in the process of getting that person's name and message out there. The most likely of a candidate I can think of would be someone very successful in business, like a Bill Gates figure, or a celebrity, ala the Governator. The only other possibility I see is someone who can use religion to unite the vast majority of Christians...
  16. Not to mention the fact that Von Braun did not want anything to do with a military-type program, all the guy wanted was to send a rocket to the moon. He was nearly clipped by the Nazis after saying at a party that he'd rather send a rocket to the moon than London. His escape (with his research) was a godsend for the American Space Program before the post-Apollo disaster NASA has become...
  17. The emotion I felt most at the end was pride....
  18. Because the 8-16 year old market is actually pretty large, they have $$$, and they are the ones that are buying it up.... Because MTV tells them it's cool... Which is cool.....
  19. I dig Paul Butterfield's Blues Band, and following that, anything by Mike Bloomfield...
  20. Perhaps you were watching that Movie with Vin Deisel in it???
  21. In all fairness, it isn't Tedy's fault. I am sure they guy didn't want that kind of attention.
  22. Milloy should be cut at the end of this year. He has been flat-out Hor-ri-ble...
  23. Like the time Milloy blitzed right into the OLinemen and got stuffed??? What kind of blitz was that supposed to be?
  24. I saw him slip and fall as he was kicking it...
  25. I heard that he actually healed a blind man on the way home from the game last night. No lie!
