    Well, its not loose, its actually the original deffinition. Fisticuffs wrote: the theory of evolution has not been "proven" to satisfaction Well, if you study the white moth of northern england that became darker due to soot deposits on trees I believe you have a very good example of specialisation and natural selection. Its an interesting study. Of course I am also aware that there are problems with applying such a classic minutae example as this ti the whole of life. One of the classic is, why does 'evoloution' seem to rest at fixed points. The horseshoe crab for example. Why hasnt it evolved in millions of years. Can it seriously be so well adapted to its environment that it has no need to adapt? The same can be said for many animals. Where is the fossil, or existing evidence, for evoloutioinary steps? Why do we only see the whole numbers and not the fracitons in between? So yes, there are problems with its 'experimental' proof, and yet as a theory it is so elegant, so well suited to life that, and in this case I agree with you, a self evident truth can also constitute proof.

    I'm not the one calling for Chinese style one child policies, forced abortions, and brutal government crackdowns on innocent people so politicians can have all the world's resources at their disposal. Your belief system has causes extreme suffering and injustice, me calling someone a nigger just to piss off someone who thinks like you is very satisfying albeit like a feather tickling someones nose to burning a billion people alive compared to you and distand.

    lol I got it from you! ;P I don't keep up with you in particular, and am on & off with the back room, but I've seen you tell the story at least twice. :) (Or maybe I read the same post twice :-O ) He is posting every single day. But I guess he only reads his own threads. Opacity, the new Transparency.

    Don't judge our comedy by Hollywood films... Judge it by actual stand-up comedians. Some of my favorites: Robin Williams (His stand-up, not his movies - A bit hyper, Lots of good impersonations) George Carlin (Intelligent rants) Lewis Black (Political, mostly anti-government) Dennis Miller (Intellectual, very intelligent but too many obscure references for most people) Jeff Dunham (Ventriloquist) Mitch Hedberg (Stoner jokes) Plenty more, but that's a start... Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in? Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)

    I almost think you're right: http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/meast/07/14/iran.researcher.returns/index.html?hpt=C1[^] Now, he sounds like something CSS would spout off, I'm actually leaning towards the faked(one way or another) by Iran at this point. But still, this is so stupid it'd go a long way to letting the CIA get away with all kinds of crap if they owned up to it and everyone thought they were incompetent.
