And Baal strikes again with wit and wisdom! :roll: The idea of working for the benefit of many is wrong because... there's inequality (wow, who'd guess!), and some vague historic, senseless bullshit. What an idiot. Sometimes I'm at loss of words when I see how badly people fail at basic logic . Som...

The article is complete bullshit. What is also bullshit though is to tear the arguement down using the Koran. It really doesnt matter for shit what the Koran says. What matters is what many people say it means or use it as an excuse to act a certain way. Very little of Arab society in the Middle Eas...

Basically she is arguing in a round about way that the state has to do things to exist that are for the better of the whole possibly at the detriment of the one. The basic needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. The problem with the arguement though is that overall it is bullshit. States hi...

I actually listened to a few minutes of the Hillary speech last night and I found one thing really funny. She is spouting off her line about being able to win the "big" states and starts to list them off. While doing this she includes Florida and Michigan. Obama was not even on the ballot ...

Long before the nerve junction move Mal should have been sliced and diced the first time the Operative pulled his sword and Mal pulled his scrwedriver. No. Just because the operative has advanced melee training doesn't mean Mal doesn't put up a fight. The man is formerly a military grunt and an exp...

Maybe the Borg have some technology that allows them to shield their ships from notice when time traveling. Call it a temporal cloak. This allows them to time travel without various future Time Agencies noticing and intervening. This technology could only work on ships Sphere size or smaller due to ...

To the people who have a problem with blacks, it won't matter "how black" he is, how much "African" blood he may have in him, so to speak. As far as they are concerned, he's black. Actually I am talking from the other side. Blacks all across the country who are holding him up li...

Half white, half Nigerian and grew up in Hawaii. Yep he sure is African-American. :roll: To the people who have a problem with blacks, it won't matter "how black" he is, how much "African" blood he may have in him, so to speak. As far as they are concerned, he's black. Actually ...

The bit of hand to hand we see from Early suggests that movie Bourne would eat him for lunch. I would even say the same thing for the Operative since he couldnt take out Mal in the final fight scene. I mean Mal is tough but when one pulls out a sword and the other grabs a SCEWDRIVER the fight shoul...

The problem is that I don't think they can tear chunks up and actually eat the shark. IIRC, they swallow giant squid whole. You're probably right. I'm just pissed they're frittering away their efforts on bullying a plankton eater when their species is dwindling in numbers. And to add to the list of...

God was busy trying to borrow a starship.

Now define "severe". Simulated death by drowning is severe . :roll: Roll your eyes all you want but that is the very problem with the system. When adjectives are used to describe something you allow in personal opinion and bias and with those two things it is very easy to get wildly diffe...

So why bring up Kennedy's stance on waterboarding in the first place? Because Kennedy many years ago drove a car off a bridge and when he got out of the car he left his female companion in the car to drown to death? It has been a common snide comment made against Kennedy after his waterboarding com...

As far as I understand it waterboarding done properly will not kill you or don permanent damage to you. But then according to Ted Kennedy world renowned expert on death by drowning :D it is torture. Or, you know, the case law behind it like when Japanese soldiers and officers were convicted of war ...

Couple points First off Spock was obviously born WAY before STNG so talking about how wanked transporters get by that point means nothing. Those are not the transporters we are talking about. Second and I know I am quoting the novelizations but in the ST3 novel David and Saavik beam up to the scienc...

HE uses it on Spock by showing him his birth. In the scene Spocks father is heard to say with a hint of sadness "so human..." We dont know for sure but it can be guessed that he is disapointed in the half human Spock that is crying at birth unlike a pure Vulcan baby that would be silent f...

Hard to say. Within a known war zone illegal combatants could be summarily executed as potentials spies with little to no paperwork. Or at least they were in the past. The other part is even more complicated. Define "torture". To me it is physically abusing someone. To someone else it cou...

I think the biggest reason is that Christianity did not really limit itself to one racial group or region as its domain. In addition very few polytheistic religions were all that interested in gathering new followers. As a comparison consider the Freemans and the Democrat party. The mason are a fair...

Doesnt really matter though. Spock never calls bullshit on it. Yes he does. He doesn't join Sybock. BTW, What the fuck is with the cave bit? Do they not have hospitals on Vulcan where one can safely have a pregnancy and save the life of baby and mother if somethign happens? *Communicator-Chirp* &qu...

The scene could be construed as a made up fictional telepathic projection from Sybok intended to (what he felt might) break Spock. Doesnt really matter though. Spock never calls bullshit on it. He appears mildly amused by it and Sybock being as smart as he is wouldnt project something at least fair...

Simple enough question. Barring the evangelical and other extremists who appear to be born with only a small percent of actual brains, how much more science do you think it will take before the general concept of God and religion finally get thrown to the side along with other bunk concepts like Ast...
