I'm not surprised, really. Frankly, given the Pentagon's hatred of gays and lack of honesty, they're probably going to do it anyway.I think this is what you meant to say
Maybe someone ask Bush if this isn't a type of a "weapon of ass destruction".

(CBS 5) BERKELEY A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.
Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb.
We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes.
but [][][], as you said,(relavent part bolded)Can you explain why there are two completely different versions of Creation side-by-side in Genesis, if the Bible doesn't contradict itself?
Yes, well most scholors believe that the second (the one involving Eve splitting from Adam's rib) was added sometime during the ninth or tenth century B.C. The fact that there are two versions is does not bother me, there could be one hundred for all I care.
The Bible is the truth. Every part of it is true, I cannot fathom any reason to doubt it. It has always been a perfect work and will continue to be perfect. There are no contradictions and there have never been any. There is no reality but that described in the Bible. Jesus lived and God exists.
Are you joking?Either it is a joke, in which case [][][] fails miserably at the internet. Or he is serious, and in that case, I have just lost all faith in humanity.
you cant fill most of an intinite universe. even with an infinite object in it, there is infinitely more room.If the universe could be infinite in size than it could contain infinite energy and an infinite mass such as the earth.The earth cannot be infinite.Why not, exactly?
If the Earth had been infinite in size it would have had infinite mass and it would have taken an infinite amount of energy to accelerate it.
Yes, but then 'most' of the Universe would have been filled by the Earth.
Many modern top scientists believe in the possibility of an infinite universe.Because that would require infinite everything, and there is not infinite everything.The earth cannot be infinite.Why not, exactly?

I feel for ya dude.my dad called me once afterwords, december 23. he told me to come get my christmas present(it turned out to be a guitar that he had bought many months before.) when i got there, he handed it to me and closed the door. a few weeks later, i went over and tried talking to him, he wouldnt listen. i wrote down my number and email so he could get a hold of me, and he threw out the piece of paper. since then, no contact with him.
I thought it was going to be another "me" story or something, but the fact that you're life was destroyed twise really sucks.
Has your dad said anything to you?
And guess which type of map projection Seamen typically use.Mercator, with distortion due to the ROUNDNESS of the real earth in relation to the flat surface. Also, it was invented in 1569, long before the "RE conspiracy"
Exactly. Because the earth is round, they need different flat projections to show different aspects of it. If the earth were flat, then they wouldnt need all of these different projections.It is impossible to accurately turn a sphere into a flat surface. Why do you think there are so many types of map projections?
- Since the Earth is round using a globe would result in very accurate navigation. Using a flat map with the appropriate adjustments would also allow this.
To those many who believe the U.N. is a success: please describe how they've succeeded at the following goalsNot only have they failed miserably at all of that, but they have arguably made it worse. Before the UN, wars were generally between fairly equal powers, or rebellions against empires; 'tangible' enemies, direct reasons for war. Now, the wars are proxy wars against small relatively weak nations, with false reasons for invasion masking the strategic value of the area. when 2 nations fight now, it is either a small nations ethnically cleansing another/itself, or it is a world power fighting another power through proxy wars.Quote from: UN CharterWE THE PEOPLES OF THE UNITED NATIONS DETERMINED
to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and
to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and
to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and
to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,
AND FOR THESE ENDS
to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and
to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and
to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and
to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,
Wouldn't that, like, cause the big 5 to leave the U.N.?That will never happen. if it did, the UN would collapse, with no power behind it. another such organization would be created in its wake, and all the others would follow in line. its alot of work and change for nothing. it would be far simpler to just rework the UN, but they will never go for that.
That's the problem. No one in the UN dares stand up to one of the big 5. It's happened plenty of times with Russia as well. Think ditching the veto would be a good step to take.Yes, yes it would. The big 5 idea doesnt allow for the changing world and changing powers; its too reflective of the just post ww2 era. but the world is a far different place now. but then, those with the veto arent about to give it up easily
The UN can get round the veto using the General Assembly but it doesn't happen ofteneven if it does, USA disregards it, and still does what they want. No one has the power nor political means to stop them.
i dont see a straight line anywhere in that diagram.5. Uh, yeah you can. Start at the equator, go east. You'll end up where you were before. Sorta like a ring around the earth.i think out of sympathy you should be given time to think this one through again.
Alright, imagine that planet is earth. Imagine the ring around it is your flight path (I know you can't fly that high, but you get what I mean). So if you start at the top, and go around, you're in the same place.
5. Uh, yeah you can. Start at the equator, go east. You'll end up where you were before. Sorta like a ring around the earth.i think out of sympathy you should be given time to think this one through again.
1. Yes, actually, you can. Resources......keep known supply down, costs up, while having a massive supply to yourself.
1. You can't get money of out convincing the entire world that the world is round when it really isn't.
2. Despite the all the contradicting evidence?
3. Uh yeah, the sun would have to be a shitload smaller than it really is for that to make any sense.
4. Yeah, because the entire world is right.
5. If the world was flat you couldn't fly around it in a straight line.
It's been proved so many damned times that it's round it's just incredible.so it should be quite easy to provide some of this proof.
