OK--first of all, donkslayer--while i appreciate your interest in the subject area, you've completely missed the issues and what the justices focused on in their legal analysis. And i mean completely. Now i fault the poorly written article that was obviously written by someone with little or no legal knowledge--so please don't take what i'm saying the wrong way. This is often the problem with reporting on legal issues--they miss the key issues 9 times out of 10.In furman v. georgia, justice brennan outlined the test for cruel and unusual punishment---The "essential predicate" is "that a pun

I wish more Christians who think like Jordan would voice their beliefs. Sometimes it is the crazies who drown out the rational folks. It is nice to know there ARE Christians out there who concentrate on the good attributes of religion rather than shine a bright light on the bad.

And people in Massachusetts thought allowing gay marriage didn't **** everything up.

Give it to your lawyer. It remains confidential--most likely no one can get at it legally--and if you die, it'll be dealt with your estate.

Huh? How exactly has religion explained anything that has occurred? How has religion's theory been tested and found to be true?The spiritual world is itself unobservable and unable to be tested.

Well said, Mandor, well said...

It doesn't give you a program, per se--rather it teaches you a bunch of things that help you lose weight. It isn't some fad diet--it is just the science behind fat loss and muscle gain.It teaches you:-how different types of food affects your body in different ways (protein, carbs, fat)-difference between good/bad carbs, etc.-difference between good/bad fat-how different diets work, don't work-explain what causes a weight loss plateau and how to fix it-calculate your bmi-figure out what type of metabolism you have (everyone is different)-discusses types of exercising--and its affect on your bo

*******. I usually shy away from posting about poker--though i do like to read about it. If i posted about poker--all i'd get is "TP/MM" or some other smartass remark--this way it is I who can be the smartass.Answer is simple---I don't know, which means God did it.

Actually, sort of--it has to do with ketosis--when the liver is depleted of glucose/glycogen and your LIVER goes into starvation mode where it metabolizes certain amino acids, lactic acid, etc. to make glucose. In other words, it burns fat. But it only changes the ORDER in which your body burns energy--you still need to eat less than you're burning. Starving your liver of glycogen is different than starving your entire body. Both are unhealthy.Also--on a no-carb diet--you actually eat LESS calories (usually) especially if you're eating a lot of protein---see, when you eat regular protein

Of course there are parts of Physics and other scientific theories that have unknowns--we have yet to master every unknown in the universe. But the fact remains--we can make hypothesis based upon these scientific theories, test it and obtain an answer that supports the hypothesis. The same cannot be said for religion.Religion cannot be proved. I have much more faith that if i step off a 30 story building, i'm going to fall to the ground than faith that heaven waiting for me upon my reaching the ground.So if it makes you feel better---lets look at faith, not as a binary function, but as a co

Read this online book--"burn the fat, feed the muscle"It is a great book that educates you on your body chemistry, how it burns food, fat, muscle, etc. It is best to eat several small meals (4-500 calories, 4-5 times a day). But no matter what, you should NOT skip meals--it throws your body into "survival mode"--i.e. it slows your metabolism. In addition, greater than a 500-1000 calorie difficiency per day (losing more than 2 lbs per week) will cause excessive weight loss stemming from MUSCLE depletion. On a GOOD diet, you'll lose 75% fat, 25% muscle--that can get flipped if you starve you

I don't doubt that some of what is shown in that movie is legit--but it is more like a random assortment of unexplained phenomenon and a touch of science that is "explained" by this new aged philosophy BS. But don't be fooled into thinking that because some of it is true--that the rest is. That is how these whack-jobs bring people into this madness.

I have a feeling that i'm not the only one here that does this every time you start another thread-------> Come on--it took you a WEEK to realize someone replied to your post. Besides, i'm just having a little fun with you--it isn't like i'm actually annoyed with the grammar/multiple posts.Man--this place is getting more and more uptight---a little sarcasm and joking around is met with anger and when someone makes an honest newbie question, everyone jumps all over them. What gives?

Rule #4 RELAX. Just kidding around... Wow.

Rule #1 of posting on message boards: Never solicit legal advice on a message board.Rule #2 of posting on message boards: Never solicit medical advice on a message board.

I prefer to call it "sniper vision"---can't wait to get lasik...

And some wonder why several countries pulled/cut their troops from Iraq over the past year and a half...

24, no contest. Sopranos has been a disappointment for some time now. Too many disjointed plot lines are introduced, then ignored. Then, certain episodes are obviously TRYING to be artsy--almost as if there was a different director. They spend WAAAAAY too much time with mundane crap---(who the hell needed 2.5 episodes of dream-sequences w/ tony???? For Christ's sake, they've only got a limited number of episodes left and they WASTE them!!). The episodes are soo fricken bipolar that the writers should probably go see a psychologist themselves.24 on the other hand is NON STOP ACTION. They

Wow. If that is for real---that is REALLY f-ed up.

Yes, millions upon millions of years of evolution can be recreated in a lab for you to see with your own two eyes. After all, that is the ONLY way to test a theory using the scientific method. It is one thing to fill in "unknowns" with your faith. But to conciously reject mountains of scientific evidence regarding evolution when it potentially conflicts with your faith is nothing short of willful ignorance. The scientific community overwhelmingly agrees in the theory of evolution---it is only certain aspects of it that they disagree over. It is unbelievable that people to this day still

She was also on The West Wing so i know she can act. Still though, horrible, horrible acting all around, cheesy effects that reminded me of those stupid movies in grade-school, horrible directing, laugable plot, etc. See: Ramtha's School of EnlightenmentThree members of this organization created this film. The movie is 95% bull_shit. The fat blond lady? Yeah, she thinks she channels the 35,000 year old spirit of Ramtha.The movie starts out alright--quantum physics can be extremely interesting. But after a while, it becomes complete and total junk "science". It makes intelligent design l

Don't worry--he's still bitter for not getting Jennifer after she broke up with Brad Pitt. He thought that once Brad was out of the picture, she'd be his for sure. I guess the "old creepy chubby republican guy" thing doesn't go very far with the ladies these days.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? You obviously haven't ever purchased grass fed organic meat. It is FAAAR better tasting meat than i've ever had before. Expensive--yeah--but it is certainly worth it.And i can't believe you guys didn't catch the best pun i've thought of in months: Link
