side

This is the most mindbogglingly ridiculous thing I've seen in a while, I just have to share! Have any of you heard of this before? Christians only hugging from the side for fear of having sinful thoughts? I wonder, do they do the side hug with same sex friends as well? I was convinced that...

ie this POS and anyone like him should get the same treatment he gave out. Well maybe a little torture first. http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/11/16/iraq.slaying.ap/index.html "Disgrace to the uniform" is far too weak a description. I'd be happy to pull the trigger on this guy.

I am currently trying to use SSI for inclusions of standard headers, footers, and other such things in HTML. The web site will be running in an Apache/PHP environment. The only way I know at this point is to use the PHP include statement, as in: <? include 'filename.ext'; ?> This works, but...

Anyone know how (or if it is even possible) to have the tab bar in FireFox 2 on the left hand side of the window?

From this week's commentary: Apparently Peter Brock was our greatest racing car driver but I wouldn't know because watching car racing is more pointless to me than watching grass grow and knowing about cars is as interesting to me as knowing about astrology. Which brings me to the point...

As seen in the commentary: "There exists right now an extensive and powerful global community that puts everyone in touch, enables almost-instantaneous transfer of data and ideas, and forces reality on us all. It’s getting harder to be a fool. Those religious zealots who choose to mumble...

I'm looking for one. Their philosophy sounds like something I 100% agree with on the surface, but of course that's their own side of things. Are there any common criticisms of it that I don't know about? From skeptics or "religious" people? Rather than having to say "I'm an atheist" then being...

I'm shocked no one has posted this. (If you did, I missed a few chapters.) God found on alligator Edit: Spell. Typing in a cast is hard...

Often, when reading the package descipton of some medicine, there are listed among very rare(1/100000) side effects dizziness, headache, general exhaustion or other sort of non specific pain or illness. I suspect for no medicine were there done enough DBPC studies so a meta analysis would prove...

Warning: This link is upsetting and involves infanticide. Please do not view if you are sensitive to issues of child abuse. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4549898.stm I can see arguments both pro- and con- legalization of drugs. But this is not one for the anti-prohibitionists.

Who played this racist game of dexterity and slapping as a kid? I sure did. Who even knows what I'm talking about? Is this just a USA perversion?

Apologies if this has been posted before, but I was shocked, nay, flabbergasted, by what's said in this article. Some gems: Apparently, Eugenie C. Scott didn't find this very surprising, because "Americans react very positively to the fairness or equal time kind of argument." Okay, so the...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4743741.stm Color me not surprised.:rolleyes:

snip from article Heck. Might as well. Can't hurt. It ain't like the losses are going to vote republican. The song I thought of while reading this: Holly came from Miami, F.L.A. Hitch-hiked her way across the USA Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her legs and then he was a she She...

OK, USAians. Go on then. I'm British. Right now I should say that you'd have to prise my National Health Service out of my cold dead hands. And yet... As with the thing about guns, I am perfectly willing to listen receptively to your explanations as to why not doing what the rest of the...

That's why I say that one of the provisions for granting a green card or citizenship to illegals would be to stipulate that they have to take some kind of an oath to this country, and perhaps be manditorily have to serve in our military. Thren, my thread question will be solved. I really should...

A few anecdotes about the not so serious side of scientific publishing: A chinese friend of mine got sent his own paper to referee! (Guess the American Physical Society struggles with chinese names too). I begged and pleaded, whined and sulked, but I simply could not get him to send them the...

Somehow, I've managed to get through life without guns. I can't ever remember thinking "I know what would improve this situation --- more firearms!" Nothing bad happened to the UK when we introduced strict gun control laws. Why would it? What would? And yet there are people in the USA who seem...

The comment from the Aussie gentleman about leaders invoking God is something that has always bothered me. I would postulate the following: People have a lot of inherently evil tendincies and the "God is with us thing" works in the opposite direction of what atheists are always proposing...

I need help finding the silver lining in Bush's election so far I've only been able to come up with 3 things [list=1] Bush can no longer claim he inherited the problems he actually caused Cheney could possibly suffer a heart attack, leading bush to suffer his own a heart attack when he realizes...

At least Kerry and his wimpy "liberal allies" will just roll over. If Kerry had been declared the winner, Ted Nugent and John Ashcroft would have lead a Neocon militia to shoot on sight anyone that tried to remove Bush from the White House. ;)

1inChrist, if your prediction does not come true, will your faith be shattered? If no, then why?

Now I really enjoyed The Passion of the Christ. I also praised Mel Gibson. However, I have now learned what his true beliefs are. You see previously I assumed he was a true Christian but now I think he's a blind member of the catholic cult. There is no salvation for those outside the...

The core of all religion is a sense of Absolute Dependence and connectedness. It is the core of religion, but it is not exclusive to religion. It is actually this sensation which is God. But this sensation also occurs in species-consciousness. The replacement of Deity, an illusory being, with...

So we're watching TV this weekend, and it's one of those awful E! shows about assistants to "the stars" or something, and there's this feng shui consultant who charges $250USD/hour, with a two hour minimum. Now I know I've been saved by the other posters before, but come on. If you have two...

I have seen what happens to people who have very active brains but unfortunately mostly active in the delusions of paranoid schizophrenia. Yep it's: www.conspiracyarchive.com I can't determine if the site is satire, or if people are all synched to the same rubbish. The science is typical...

I initially thought that the headline writer is the one who's illiterate, but there it is again in the article's body.

The prez is giving a press speech right now in CA to some firefighters. He quoted a victim of the recent fires who said, "God is on my side". (Which kinda inexplicably got applause.) Let's see... Fire burns down my house, consumes all my posessions, proving God is on my side. :confused: Good...
