How much substance will Obama offer? 01:02am on 10 Sep 2009 Mark,

Regardless of the substance of the speech, Marcus will roll out a diatribe of none, followed by an assertion that America is 'Number 1' followed by an irrational attack on 'them Europeens' followed bya claim that Europe is going to hell followed by a stout statement that America doesn;t care and will provide a map.

Damaged Special Relationship? 04:17am on 09 Sep 2009 #188

LOL again at Marcus.

It's great to see he still can't tell the difference between the Tainos, the Apache, the Maya and the Comanche. A few hundred years, a couple of thousand miles between friends. Whats the difference. Them all native Americans, all the same. They look the same, don't they?

Gosh, then support for the Nazis. And people don't think these kinds of ideas are held by underachieving ignorant folks?

LOL. And he spouts Republican ideas. I think Marcus is a pinko leftie stooge. An Obama operative. He's such a Republican stereotype he has to be made up.

LOL out at Marcus again,

I have an Oxford educated intern who was with us this summer, reading History. She was amazing in her understanding of the history of Slavery and Britain's role, and in fact had long discussions with some of our other interns and staff on the role of William Wilberforce and his inspiration to the Civil rights movement. It was aneye opener to me, both in terms of the timeline, actions and tactics later deployed by our own Civil rights movement.

What is more amusing is MArcus still playing the blame game. 'Waaah. We got independence. Waah, we had slaves years after you abolished them. Waah, your fault. You made us do it. You did. You did. It wasn't me. It wasn't us. We're the good guys. We are, we all are'.

How pathetic to blame others for our history and it's shame. And slavery is our greatest shame

The one thing that holds us back as a society is the small minded 'We're number one and we did nothing wrong' mentality of the poorly educated. Of course we did things that were wrong. All nations did and do, all individuals do. A refusal to accept that and learn from it is the biggest mistake a human being can make.

Why can't we all just get along?

Stu,

I find in many ways that I disagree with Newt, but he is an intelligent, thoughtful man. If you need evidence of this then you only need to look at the terrific debate he held with Jack Horner on the behavior of T Rex a few years ago. I've not looked for it on the internet but he basically sought out the folks most opposed to Horners view (T-Rex was a scavanger) and sought out the evidence, including the view of the guy most opposed to Horner (Bob Bakker, whose look alike was eaten in of the Jurassic Park movies where Horner was the scientific advisor) and constructed a very convincing arguement. Including hand puppets.

Newt is a smart guy who can argue and compromise. We need more of those, not the mindless screamers we see at town halls or on blogs.

Fluffy Jack Rabbit,

I just googled Cougar hunt on the international interweb and not only is it legal it has absolutely nothing to do with animals at all.

Oh yeah, now we're talking.

Too European? 8:16pm on 28 Jul 2009 #360

David,

There are many teachings and interpretations of what happens to the folks who predate Jesus resurrection. The most common is that those who died in Friendship with God (lived a moral life)remain in Limbo until Jesus opens the Gates of Heaven. Hence entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven is only through Jesus Christ but we have those cave men covered.

As for everyone else, one of our great moralists had a few words to say about their likely fate:

Where do bad folks go when they die
They don't go to heaven where the angels fly
Go to a lake of fire and fry
Don't see them again 'till the Fourth of July

But however you live your life, Jesus loves you.

Too European? 04:57am on 28 Jul 2009 #353

David,

The number of humans pre Christ is surprisingly small, in the hundreds of thousands to low millions depending on which speciation event you count. Homo Sapiens are in the low hundred thousands best we can tell. Not billions, those are modern numbers.

That aside, every major religion has an 'out' for good folks who came before. The Mormons are a great example.

I would simply observe that a lot of folks belive in small things. Themselves, money,etc. You may want to choose something a little higher. It is your choice. Choose what you want, I will only be supportive.

Too European? 04:37am on 28 Jul 2009 #344

Marby,

When Caesar crossed the Rubicon, breaking Roman law and starting a civil war, he allegedly cried 'Allia iacta est'. A literal quote from a soldiers game it is often quoted as 'The die is cast' but translates in slang to 'Let the die fly high'. Simply put, I placed my bet.

I could get moderated. The Latin.
