Charisma plays a big part. In Belgian politics charisma and likeability certainly had a big influence during several elections. You can sell anything if it's wrapped in a nice package. Usually the victory of election day is followed by the people's disappointment and surprise once the government...

Who says it's pre-marital?

LATE EDIT: Let me rephrase that. We started with Assari's view on christianity and now it's becoming a debate about warlords and islam.

Yes, you are correct (although we could discuss some points). I was only trying to keep this debate on track. Somehow we started with Assari claiming true christians are so happy and innocent and suddenly we're... well, I don't know where this is going at the moment.

Communication and discussion with parents about what children are exposed to on the internet and in video games probably would be the better option. And when a game is 18+ kids shouldn't play it, or parents should decide when a kid is ready to play such a game. But if a kid plays a violent...

Great, let's help them by sending them condoms and... oh, wait... Other religion, same shit. Rwanda is a christian country and the genocides over there are nothing less.

You say the bible is full of people recounted stories interfering with each other en causing confusion and that it's to complex for ordinary man to understand. Yet when I show you the confusion and contradictions concerning the 10 commandments... you come up with straight forward answers? How do...

Best of luck Petra. Thank you for your hard work, and thank you for interacting with us on the board. You will be missed

Re: Fox News : The Bilble says "avoid atheists", therefore it shouldn't be illegal to discriminate t "Land of the free" and "protecting your freedom" my ass

What mountain was that again? Was it on Mount Sinai? And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. Exodus 31:18 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses...

Assari, I find it really hard to understand who you are or how you define yourself as a christian. Every answer is a riddle... So you define yourself as a true christian, and that is solely based on the 10 commandments, but not on the rest of the bible. Basically you are saying that everything...

The Dark knight - the Joker's pencil trick

Holy shit moment from Knowing

28 Days later - The scene where Jim is walking through a deserted London. Couldn't find a scene, except for an Italian dubbed one...

Lot's of great movie scenes are already mentioned. Browsing the thread I didn't find this one:

This post needs some epic music and a movie trailer with a deep voice

Do you understand the bible?

I'm a banana at the moment

*sigh* Whatever makes you happy Bob... Their website is down: link. But you know what, I have a treat for you: I'll track down which schools are represented by this group and then you contact them one by one to find out who's representing them within this group. Nantwich Education Partnership...

I can live with that :)

Short: A group of schools in Cheshire, UK, basically wants to deny children access to 18+ games and every other media or websites like Facebook or WhatsApp that are not 'designed' for their age. If they are allowed access by their parents, teachers will be advised to contact police and...

I don't know why but the IDRD Bogota Humuna women cycling team has a fascinating outfit :D

LOL. This has been one of the weirdest explanations to decide a tie. I wonder how you decide which car to buy :) Congrats Mandy :clap:

You did not answer my questions. If 98% of the scientists would say we cannot construct a space elevator because it would collaps, would you build it? I posted a scientific study a few posts earlier that shows a direct link between CO2 coming from poluting industries and warming of the planet...

Nope, I did not misunderstand your post. But let's play along and give you another analogy that suits your criteria: a space elevator. It does not exist, yet we know we cannot construct it at the moment because of the science, the computer models, the math, etc... behind it. So, if 98% of the...

I would join them

That's not the point D-Rock was making. The point is that people are so obsessed it should be 100% instead of 98%. Secondly your conclusion is wrong. Engineers DO determine the structural integrity of a bridge that never existed when a new bridge needs to be build, based on theory, computer...

True. For that same reason Andi Land for me please

I don't know enough about the US domestic affairs and internal politics, so I'm staying out of it. But doesn't your rant show that their is a huge imbalance between white and other races (in this case black) in the US? I mean if you can generalize it so much I get the impression that it's not...

Hmm... It's the word "live" that makes me flinch. I wouldn't mind visiting any old civilisation (Roman, Greek, Byzantine...) in any giving century during it's existance. But living? Assuming I could speak the language, pick up the habits, know the politics, and pick up a skill to survive, I...

Prison must be a garden of Eden...

I know that, it's not the first time I'm in a discussion about climate change. I'm proving a point I made in a previous post: what people refer to as skepticism is actually denial. Climate change denial differs from scientific skepticism. As I mentioned in an earlier post, the debate in the...

For all the people saying it isn't man made or there's no direct proof: undeniable proof that climate change is man made The science: Explained by the authors of the Berkeley Lab on their website: An article in San Francisco Chronicle explaining it even simpler:

How would someone do that? The cockpit voice recorder does not only record what the crew says but all other sounds like emergency and warning buzzers, clicks of buttons, engine sounds, communication with other plains and ground control and it's also used for the timing of events. If you want to...

I'm talking about a falsified or manipulated schientific article funded by some green industries and this is what you come up with? A news article from 2009 about those mails? Something already debunked oh I don't know... a million times? :rofl2: :rofl2:

To make it easier for myself I'm going to use the words pro and con to identify the scientific community that says "global warming by mankind", and the skeptic scientific community respectively. As I mentioned in an earlier post scientists aren't white knights. Will there be "good guys" and...

Nah, Bob is just playing dumb. Bob (and others), are you willing to give a decent argumentation why you are not convinced and what the things are you are sceptic about? Or are we continuing this game where deniers and so called skeptics basically say "meh, I don't believe it" and beat around...

Let me put it this way. Science isn't a fairytale where the noble white suited scientist is only out to save the world and only exists for the benefit of mankind. Some will research new medicine that will help people to get rid of a desease. Others will research a new chemical weapon to...

My bad. I was under the impression you always seemed to criticize human-made-global-warming-pro-thingy-something. I haven't read all the contributions of everyone in this section to grasp who's pro, contra or inconclusive. My apologies. For the rest of you fuckers, I'll answer some of your...

:1orglaugh

You contradict yourself Bob. You ask the question if scientist are immune to shaping opinions, and use this as an argument that this is indeed happening. Yet you have no problem in taking a stand against the 98% agreement of scientists, agreeing with the 2%. Wouldn't it be, according to your own...

Well, let's have a quick glance at some of the prominent global warming skeptic organizations belonging to those 2% then... (based on the article Global Warming Skeptic Organizations (source)) American Enterprise Institute With funding from conservative foundations and large corporations, AEI...
