When I was in elementary school every year for at least 4 years I saw the LONG (to me) movie "Our Friend Mr.Sun". It was fabulous. The best of science education for small children. Mr.Sun, a cartoon, would talk about all the good things the sun does. He would also show REAL footage of him...

Man Shot Three Of His Friends Good thing they were his friends. Who knows what he might have done to them if they weren't.

Been talking to a friend recently who is somewhat into the homeopathic movement. I've been trying to give her my opinion that homeopathy mostly bull. The problem is she cannot seem to understand the logic that simply because *some* homeopathic stuff kinda works, that means that ALL claims...

Hey, I would really like to thank all of those involved with making TAM4 what it was. I had a great time. The JREF hosted a wonderful event and all I have for those of you who put in your time and energy to make it so are kudos and more kudos. As a founder of The Skeptic Friends Network I want...

Some of you may remember USA? He also attended several TAMs, where he was a valued volunteer as well as proudlly wearing a skepchick security tshirt. For those of you that want to know what he's been working on, skeptically at least, scroll down to read his article on education! Good work...

So she says she can tell whether a diary was used by a man or woman. Smell perhaps? Looks like a cheap magician's trick.

I was talking to one of my friends and she stated that she was going to some school to learn to be a Reiki "healer". I do not talk to this person very much due to geographic differences, so this was kind of a shock. Does anyone know of a good way to convince someone that being an 'energy...

Former porn king Al Goldstein is down on his luck, and our buddy Mr Gillette stepped up to help him out. This is yer basic 'real interesting story'...

I'm sure Mr. Randi will mention this, but a great JREF benefactor passed away yesterday: Johnny Carson. I believe Mr. Randi appeared on his show many times, and the two formed a bond and understanding. In recent years, Mr. Carson has been very generous in his donations to the JREF. The world...

I have a friend who recently saw "The Passion Of Christ". Since seeing the movie, he has opened his mind to the possibility of biblical truthfulness. He still takes the position that Jesus was a lunatic, but is now looking for answers. I value making one's mind up for oneself so I want to offer...

...he volunteered and is now "in the sh!t." I am proud of him and I let him know. He is from Dallas (actually a mid-city suburb called Irving). He is not killed or anything dramatic like that, I just wanted to start a thread about these people. Thanks, Manny. (I used photoshop to...

I just got an e-mail from a friend in Israel. He is angry and from what I can read ( between the lines) he blames pacifists for the murder of the innocent jogger George Huri. I wonder what to reply to him. Any ideas?

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me out. An old high school friend of mine gave me a call recently and told me he was in town, and he wanted to meet with me to talk to me about a new business he was starting up (I'm in the Internet industry, so I figured he was going to just ask for my...

I know I must be the heir to the throne in the Kingdom of All Idiots for starting another gun thread, but this is just so ridiculous it bears, nay, demands, discussing. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-1202shoot,0,222260.story Okay, so you're a 71-year-old man, whose...

First, a brief background: A friend of mine is in his mid-60's, and is a life-long atheist and skeptic. Both of his parents were atheists. Most members of his family, male and female, worked in the field of science. My friend told me that while he was growing up, his parents not going to...

OK, here´s the situation. I have a Spanish teacher here in Spain who is a lovely women, in her early thirties and we get on well. Overall intelligent nice person. However, yesterday she made some comment about how she was Capricornio and is stubborn and strongwilled (because of it?). At first I...

For my friend Franko. Greetings .. Franko perhaps you have been too busy to respond to my last post or our conversation at the “ Ideal Religion” thread. It was long as we know I am very detail driven and do tend to go on. If you will allow. Let us skip over all the rest of the post and my...

Greetings my friend billiefan2000. My friend it is good to see you back and hope you are well. May I assume your belief in the rapture and your God is still not strong enough to take up the offer I had made to you before? If you like perhaps you forgot my offer, you did refuse to answer me...
