This is the Universe, it is big. If you don't feel small after this there's something wrong with you. From one end to the other it is 156 billion light years (ly) across.

This makes me sick. Nothing like a bunch of over indulgent defectives killing a guy just to get to a sale.





NEW YORK – A worker was killed in the crush Friday after a throng of shoppers eager for post-Thanksgiving bargains burst through the doors at a suburban Wal-Mart, authorities said.



At least four other people were injured, and the store in Valley Stream on Long Island was closed.



Wal-Mart Stores Inc. in Bentonville, Ark., called the incident a "tragic situation" and said the employee came from a temporary agency and was doing maintenance work at the store.



"He was bum-rushed by 200 people," co-worker Jimmy Overby, 43, told the Daily News. "They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too. ... I literally had to fight people off my back."



Nassau County police said the 34-year-old worker was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 6 a.m. The man's name was not released and the cause of death was not immediately known.



A police statement said shortly after the store's 5 a.m. opening time, shoppers "physically broke down the doors, knocking (the worker) to the ground."



A metal portion of the door was crumpled like an accordion.



Shoppers around the country lined up early outside stores in the annual bargain hunting ritual known as Black Friday. Many stores open early and stay open late, and some of the most dramatic bargains are available in limited quantities.



Among the bargains offered by Wal-Mart for Friday were Samsung 50-inch high definition Plasma TVs for less than $800.



Witnesses told the Daily News that before the store was closed, eager shoppers streamed past emergency crews as they worked furiously to save the worker's life.



"They were working on him, but you could see he was dead," said Halcyon Alexander, 29. "People were still coming through."



A 28-year-old pregnant woman was taken to a hospital for observation, and she and the unborn baby were both reported to be OK, said Sgt. Anthony Repalone, a Nassau County police spokesman. Four or five other people suffered minor injuries, he said.



Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman at National Retail Federation, said the group knew of no other incident where a retail employee has died working on the day after Thanksgiving.



Wal-Mart is working closely with police, company spokesman Dan Fogleman said.



"The safety and security of our customers and associates is our top priority," Fogleman said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with them and their families at this difficult time."

I was reading some UK blogs and was seeing lots of people bad mouthing Americans for not being intelligent, not knowing about our own history, government etc. It got me thinking about the massive number of Brits (generally 25yo and less) who have no clue what the Queen does or the purpose of the Royal family.



They were also complaining about the cost (60p per person per year) it takes to pay for the Monarchy.



At least we know what the President does. It costs Queen Elizabeth II around $20,000 to travel to Australia, it would cost the President nearly $1 million.



So the Brits (and everyone else who thinks we have issues) stop slinging mud, your house is far from being in order.



At least we can maintain our nation, the UK is just a few island today :) (yes I know that was a cheap shot) lol



This was a bit of a tongue n cheek entry, I deeply respect the UK and it's thousand year history.

Seriously, married guys, guys with girl friends...do us a favor if you're on the down-low just jump off a bridge.



If your gay or bi then say it but don't go around lying, hurting your supposed loved ones and putting them in danger because you're a selfish horny jack ass.



You guys make me sick, grow up, don't have sex or off yourself.



I understand men coming to understand their sexuality once they're married but you don't have to put others in harm or violate your oath (which means you're a coward and a whore). Get a divorce (or break up) and go live your adult life.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know the answer but I think I've heard before that a witch is the element either they were born in or just have a personal affinity for. Again just an idea, I don't know :)



--------------------------------------------------------------

darkXwhisper



Well I thought it had somethin to do with your birthday, like astrology. But I don't think that is correct.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Infernalmage



depends on the individuals spiritual capacity. Astrology is a fun reference point but doesnt usually mean spit about the real nature of the individual.

--------------------------------------------------------------



Darkfairie



here is a page I found. Im not sure if its what you were looking for or not but I just googled How to find your element.



http://www.asiya.org/findyourelement.html



sorry i dont know how to make a link

--------------------------------------------------------------



UpirLikhyj



Why would you suppose a witch to only consist of any specific one of those primitive elements? A witch is not a supernatural being made up of some single elemental force or propety nor was ever believed to be. A witch has always been believed to be... Human.





- Upir'

--------------------------------------------------------------



Darkfairie



Sometimes its just about what calls to you. Its something that is part of you, could be that it has to do with your astrology sign, but it could very well be something entirely different that calls to you. which element you feel most comfortable with, working with and such.



--------------------------------------------------------------



Infernalmage



witches are different, and usually having an elemental affinity over a sole use element,



Elemental sorcery is different then elemental witchcraft. witches dont really differentiate between elements so much, as you might find the other break downs of caste doing. Were some might stick to a fire, earthy, airy, watery medium as their casting styles shift.



They do not use the spirit of fire, spirit of water, etc...in ways that other castes do, as well as say ones who command the will of the elements as their own.



Oh there i go again sounding either mad, or like some rpg guru...haha or someone who has said way to much on the subject for the neophyte. AHAHAHA....good luck and dont play with fire if you cant handle being burned.



--------------------------------------------------------------



Xzavier



Upir - I don't think he opened this to debate what a witch is or isn't or argue about each little difference on every aspect of witchcraft etc. Nor did he say a witch was a single thing or any supernatural being.



The question was how do you determine if a witch is Earth, Water, Wind or Fire? In other words how do you figure out the primary operational element of those witches who follow that particular path?



Personally I am also very interested in hearing peoples answers as well.



--------------------------------------------------------------



UpirLikhyj



Xzavier -



I was NOT attempting to define a witch but, instead, to understand why HE defines a witch as being comprised of a particular element (e.g., water, fire, etc.).

Don't forgett that a which is a wiccan. If you look for wiccan pages rather than with it might be easier to fing what ur looking for.

--------------------------------------------------------------



darkXwhisper



For one. Wicca has NOTHING to do with witchcraft. Not one damn thing. They are completely seperate. Wicca is a folk practice (not a religion) where as most people whom practice witchcraft worship some sort of god. Wiccans do not.



Upir. I didn't say I believed in any of it, but the fact is; wicca (and I believe witchcraft) have a coven. In some covens there are 4 witches. They represent earth, air, fire, and water. And all of them as a whole represent spirit. What I want to know is how they determine whom is earth, air, fire, and water. Watch the film "The Craft" it will give you an idea of what I'm referring to. Thank you all for the post, but I don't think my question has been answered at all. So please continue.

--------------------------------------------------------------



darkXwhisper



DarkFairie:



You answered my question completely! Thank you. The earth, air, fire, and water, are determined by your astrological signs. Therefore I believe it is only used in Wicca. In witchcraft, a coven contains 13 witches. In Wicca, it is 4. The 4 witches represent these signs. I am a Taurus, therefore i represent Earth. Thanks DarkFairie! I will keep this open for a little while so everyone has a chance to read this.





There are four elements in magick: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth. How do you find out what your element is?



The easiest way to discover your element is to look at your astrological Sun sign. The Sun sign is the core of an individual, the overriding nature and will. The twelve zodiac signs are grouped by element. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius correspond to Fire. Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces correspond to Water. Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini correspond to Air. Capricorn, Taurus, and Virgo correspond to Earth.



Once you know what element is attributed to your Sun sign, you can begin to explore. Take time to learn everything you can about your element. Dive deep into the correspondences, do meditations, practice magickal rituals focused on that element. Here are a couple suggestions.



One great practice for this purpose is learn which Major Arcana card from the Tarot is associated with your Sun sign, preferably using one of the decks inspired by an occult tradition such as Rider-Waite, Crowley's Thoth deck, or decks from the Golden Dawn or BOTA. Read the source text about the card, research each symbol, contemplate it, and see how the ideas exude in your personality and actions.



Spend time with and pay attention to the physical manifestation of your element. Visit a park or the woods if you're Earth, go swimming if you're Water, build a fire (carefully!) if you're Fire. If you're Air, meditate on your breathing, go to a mountain peak, pay attention to the wind. Gather items that remind you of the physical element and keep them in a place where you will see them regularly.



You can also contact the Elemental appropriate to your element for guidance and understanding of that element. Gnomes govern Earth, Sylphs govern Air, Undines govern Water, and Salamanders govern Fire.



You can do many other things to bring yourself in tune with your element, but these are some basics to get you started. A couple of excellent books packed with many correspondences to the four elements, among other things, are 777 by Aleister Crowley, and The Magician's Companion by Bill Whitcomb. With these books and a little imagination, you'll find other ways to explore the elements. You can also visit the Four Elements section of Asiya's Shadows for meditations and correspondences.

darkXwhisper it is not ONLY used in Wicca.... I am of the druid faith and we stand in our appropriate corners during circle. Which element you are considered is based on ones birthday which yes goes with the astrological bit of it.



HOWEVER as I said its not simply Wicca... Wicca is a NEWER form of paganism that yes does also use the elements, but it goes back LONG before Crowley introduced Wicca to the world. As with any legitimate inquiry it does take a bit of research.



You are definitely correct in stating above that just because one is a witch... does not make them a Wiccan... as a matter of fact some witches may find the statement of being considered a wiccan offensive if it is not their beliefs.



As by reading your initial post, sounds to me as if you already knew the answer to the question but doubted yourself. lol. Don't you hate when that happens? I do it all the time. lol.



Seeing as how you already had the answer you were looking for I'm not sure that my post was of any help but if so then yay! lol.



--------------------------------------------------------------



Xzavier



The term "wicca" goes back centuries, the "faith/religion/practice" or whatever of Wicca is a very new thing. Wicca is a form of paganism in the same sense that Latter Day Saints is a form of Christianity, but that doesn't make them one and the same. Paganism is a category not a single religion.



The Wiccan religion is a perversion and amalgamation of 3,000 years worth of solid faiths. It has no distinct or real foundations.



My family comes from Druids, as early as 50AD. I can assure you that the Wiccan religion has no part in it nor do real Druids have any role in "Wicca" as it is currently understood.

--------------------------------------------------------------



darkXwhisper





But paganism refers to a group of many different British folk religions. And Wicca is only a little over 60 years old. ;)



_______________________________________

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person on here hasn't bought into the absurdity of Wicca. It is NOT a religion, it has NOTHING to do with true Druidism, all Witches are NOT Wiccan, nor does Wicca offer anything but rehashed rituals, stolen ideas and a "foundation" made up by the pure imagination of it's followers.



I know I'll get slammed for this but I don't care. Saying Wicca is anything more than a modern amalgamation of ideas with no real doctrine and no central authority (which means one Wiccan 'priest' isn't the same as another) is pure folly.



Stop worshiping the Moon for "universal consciousness", grow and up and pick a religion that is actually REAL. Think for yourself, quite whining about the evil Christians and how your "high priestess" follows the "Path of Enlightenment set up by the Great Pubah of Universal Wisdom."



Geez!

Gravity, to the general public visions of apples and Newton spring to mind, to some Newton's equation also comes forth. According to Newton gravity can be described as the attractive force between two masses divided by their distance to each other squared.



However, thanks to Einstein, Newton's gravity no longer holds much weight in our relative universe. Our good friend Einstein came up with this (simplistically):



Gravity is a result of an object with mass bending space-time (causing curvature).



Gravity warps s/t and as we sit on Earth s/t is being drawn in towards the Earths centre. Since we also exist in s/t we are being pushed onto the Earth, not being pulled.



The same can be said with the Suns gravity and orbit. All things in the universe are in a constant state of "falling." We are falling and being pushed onto Earth, the Earth to the Sun and so forth.



But, this only gives us an idea of whats going on in relation to objects. We have very little clue as to what is actually causing s/t to curve or why everything with mass has some amount of this "gravitational force."



A lot of people point to the rubber sheet experiment and say "Look, the large ball curved the sheet drawing the smaller ball toward it." This is however, a dangerous misconception. That isn't what is actually happening and even many excellent physics students have a hard time breaking themselves of that concept.



All objects want to go to the centre of gravity, which happens to be the centre of a mass. The large ball in the centre of the rubber sheet is being pushed towards the Earth, the sheet provides a resistance and since it is weak it bends. The smaller ball also wants to go to the Earths surface, the reason why it goes to the larger ball is because the large ball creates the path of least resistance.



Why does gravity alter s/t in a 4 dimensional universe?

What is the mechanism that gives mass gravity?



Part of understanding and in time answering these questions is learning to unlearn misconceptions. Learning to think not with eyes that can only see the visible but thinking in terms of the unseen. Stepping out of the shell of our comfortable world and placing ourselves at the doorsteps of the universe.



As "Oceanne" can attest to I've been able to explain a lot of the mysteries of the universe via equations and math but, for some reason, I have yet to glimpse the fullness of this funny force, this gravity.

The only common denominator in multiple failed relationships is -you-. If you keep getting dumped you have to ask yourself whats wrong.



Are you to emotional, jealous, needy, looking for a father/mother figure, falling to fast, afraid of commitment, shallow, self confidence issues...?



Stop blaming your 12 ex's and start asking yourself the question "is it really me?" Many multiple and recurrent break-ups (not all but many) have to do with problems on both sides. Don't hate yourself or be afraid to confront the real issues.

But, for gods sake stop acting like the world is against you, like there is nothing wrong with you and start acting like a mature person who takes personal responsibility and honour seriously.



Frivolous relationships hurt both people, turn you into a slut (regardless of if you did anything) and warps your state of mind. Having a warped mindset only puts you up for repeated failure.



Think about it.

If you think you are the centre of the universe, then perhaps you are.



The universe is so vast and it's expansion rate is nearly the same everywhere that is has no real centre. Which means that theoretically any point (that would be you) could serve as the universes centre, according to the relative observations of the observer.



How's that for an ego boost?

This a conversation I had with a member on the topic of multiple universe. It was a very informal and quick conversation which is why the grammar is horrid. I do hope you will all enjoy it, I know I did.



From: -

Infinite universes as in it never ends?

Why is that?



Xzavier:

As in there are an infinite number of universe. There could be a trillion you's each just a tiny bit different but they exist. And with every action, thought etc you take you then create a whole other universe.

It's really so freakin cool to think about.



From: -

that is cool, but how is that your creating them?

universe like in space?



you know what I think is funny but is cool to think about.

You just reminded me of the movie "animal house"

and there getting high with the teacher and there sitting around high and the kid is like " so your telling me under my finger nail could be a whole world and were just another speck under someone else finger nail?"



Xzavier:

There is a rule "Anything that can happen either already has happened or will happen"



So lets say you're walking down the street and come to a crossroads. You have a choice to go right or left, you go left. In this universe you took the left path but because you could have gone right the universe actually splits in half and in another universe you're going right.



Some universe are smaller than an atom and other universes called "branes" connect and create universes like ours.



Universe also follow a "yes/no" path, which means some universes will go on forever and others will poof out of existence almost instantly. Imagine you crossed a road and almost got hit by a car, in this universe you're alive and things go on but in another universe (because you could have been hit) you get hit by the car and die which means that universe ends. Yes/no is sort of like 1/0 in computer code.



Does any of that make sense? lol



From: -

so there like and/or gates. either 2 different things happen and the kind only one results can come from it.

The other just goes away.



but if for the "and" one. What is the difference between the path I choose and the other one? What happens to that one. I mean there are only one of me?



so then you believe in things like walking under a bridge and going right into another realm?

If that is possible that really is amazing.



Xzavier:

Kinda yeah.



There is a possibility (really small but it's there) that you could walk under a bridge one day and walk into another realm.



There is only one YOU but there are billions of "you" one has blond hair, another weighs more than you by an ounce etc.



Technically though, there are billions of you existing all at once in whats called a type 3 universe. The only diff. between you and you is a few atoms.



Did you read my journal entry about socks? The parallel universe can effect us by making things like socks disappear but also one day could save our lives. In about 3 billion years the sun will be so unstable life on Earth wont be able to live. And Earth could be the only planet in this universe capable of having life. So one day, we might need to cross over into one of these other universe to find an earth that can support us.



From: -

OMG thats so cool.



what I'm confused about is "the other me part"

ok so if there are other me's out there. Are they just like me living and breathing and thinking?

Like right now as this jennifer rites to this xzavier there is another xzavier and jennifer except a this time jennifer is whareing a hat and ur wearing a shirt with strips and has a mush stash lol?

and as real as I am to myself is how they feel about them selves?

so lmao what if im not me? but just one of those trillions?

am I alwasy going to be the orginal person?



Xzavier:

Yes exactly.



You're the original you, as in the only one exactly like you are now. But, the billions of other Jennifers are also the only exact one of them. Of course "who was the first Jennifer" no one knows, you could be the "other" one.



From: -

Well if Im the original then I'd be the first as well right? If all these universes are connected why dont they mess with things in this one? is it because when something is made it cant be destroyed?





Xzavier:

Right, once something is created it cant be destroyed by another universe. Remember how I said each action creates another universe? Well those universes (and ours) only exists until something else happens then it changes. Theres a saying "you can never step into the same river twice" and that means that when you step into a river for the 2nd time the water you originally walked into has moved on so your stepping into an different river. The same goes for the universe(s). We might think we're still in the same universe but with each though we kinda "pop" into another one, creating it in a way.



If your the original then maybe you'd be the first but not necessarily.



From: -

so these universe can cross paths?

but u cant tell because there is such a small difference?

but I mean how is it a different universe when everything is the same? or at least seems it?

I mean what is the difference between this one and that one?

I mean I know u for the xzavier for u are just like Im the only jennifer u know.

so if this true wouldnt we of met a trillion of our selves by now?

so does the whole world just go into another universe?



Xzavier:

No because even though these universe are very similar and can even occupy the same space as us they exist in a separate dimension. Like people and fish live on the same earth (the same space) but unless we grab a fish it has no clue we exist bc it lives in a dif. dimension, the "water dimension" you could call it.



From: -

but u said we pop in out of universe?

so if were always poping into different relms

and we do this as individuals how come we cant tell something is different if t here is a difference.

so are u telling me as I talk t o you , you may not be the first xzavier I have talked to you lol?

We pop in, in the sense that we are creating a new universe. Currently we don;t know how to physically enter into a separate universe but we are always creating new ones. It's the ones we have just created that we "pop" into.



Kinda yeah lol in our present current form we only exist for a few trillionths of a second, the moment an atom moves, we have a thought etc we turn into a diff. person than we were which also means we have created a diff. universe than it was before.

I lost a few Q&A's so it doesn't flow as well as I'd like but I think it serves it's purpose.

Full Globalization
07:41 Nov 18 2008
Times Read: 1,210

There is no greater advocate for national sovereignty and personal liberties than I but, these days are not for gay marriage and giant walls across borders. We can no longer, as a people, stand behind our fences and think the troubles abroad and at home will simply go away.



The check you bring home is connected to oil pumped in Iraq, the cars made in Japan, the produce picked in Argentina, the roads paved by your city and the laws passed in Washington. This is a global planet and so is your life. Global power is shifting away from the US and moving back to Europe and is making it's way to Asia. The problems you face are the same problems I face, the illness we fight are the same that Africa dies from.



This is the year 2008, there is no individual issue that outweighs the needs of the many and we have no stable force left. Disease, energy, climate, technology, war and anything else you can think of are issues that face us all. No one company, no single nation can pull humanity back from the brink and secure our futures.



As much as we enjoy the rhetoric of small town values and national independence we cannot base our future outlook by rose-coloured glasses. Nor can we simply agree that "something must be done." Action, strong and purposeful must be taken and our personal quibbles must take a back seat.



I never thought I would say these words but, in my strongest opinion, we should muster the efforts needed to create a single world, economically and politically. You can not keep looking to America for salvation and America cannot support the whole of humanity while our people starve and our economy collapses. Only a unified effort, as one race with one goal can bring stability and prosperity to the globe.



Not only must we join together to combat the issues of energy, poverty and disease but we must unite to put an end to any single nations ability to subjugate another. The US is learning it's lesson, it's people are tired and have come to understand the immorality of endless warfare. However, that lesson has not been taken by other powers and it is imperative that we, through peaceable means halt the aggressive actions of Russia, China, N. Korea, Iran and various African nations. Be it through absolute sanctions, incentives or, for a time, civilian lead revolts; no nation should think it has the moral right to conquer and no people should have to suffer at the hands of a militaristic regime.



The point being, only through greater unification and federal disarmament (governments not individuals) do I feel our future can be bright and secured.



The following is part of an extensive plan I and the Omni Research Group have come up with. Of course everything is subject to change and it's sole purpose is to provide ideas and potential solutions.



We propose that N. America, S. America, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, S.E Asia, Asia, Africa and Oceania join with the EU in forming solid economic blocs and creating political associations which would best represent the collective issues of their respective nations. These 9 socio-political associations would then work together in a global council to mitigate problems, keep peace, advance education, science and the arts.



Individual nations would have authority over their own populations when it comes to domestic issues as long as they follow certain international laws/treaties (Human Rights etc.). The individual would be allowed the fullest number of rights, privacy, right to self-defense etc. No single nation would be allowed to enter into warfare unless under threat of immediate invasion. If tensions were to escalate into localized violence the respective association would be allowed/compelled to aid the legally elected government in it's defense. Should a threat become global then the whole weight of the world would be brought to bare on the threat.



The key would be allowing the individual to maintain the fullest amount of liberty; the member nations to act on domestic issues such as immigration, stem-cell research etc.; preventing international war or provide the quickest restoration of peace should war break out; bringing full global ability to tackle any problem and alleviating undue strain on single nations currently attempting to solve a problem or support another country.



//



I didn't write that as a matter of debate. For the past 10 years the O.R.G has been tackling the issue and in 2006 decided that the best course of action is a globally unified effort. I only hope that the O.R.G and our partners are able to popularize the idea and show governments the many positive potentials it would bring.

Where'd all my socks go?
22:23 Nov 09 2008
Times Read: 1,250

We've all opened our dryers to find that we have socks (among other things) missing. It seems inevitable that we will loose things in plain sight with no explanation of how it happened. I am reminded of a personal story.

--I got home one afternoon and took off a lovely gold ring, placed it on a clear table and went into the kitchen. When I came back into the room I no longer saw the ring, it had vanished. I looked everywhere for it and after several days came to the conclusion that the "sock faeries" had grabbed it.--



Nearly everyone has asked the question "Where did my socks go?" I think I have a partial answer. And for the mathematical example I will use socks.



According to quantum theory everything that can happen will. If you flip a coin a million times and do that another million times it is very possible that the coin will sail right through your hand and hit a guy on top of the Empire State building.



So now imagine that we all have 10 pairs of socks, out of 6 billion people that comes to 120 billion individual socks. Now, lets say we only wash all of our socks once a week (there is 10 pairs so we always have clean ones). That comes to 6,240,000,000,000 times each individual sock is placed into a dryer and if we include the possibility that we loose them in the washer it's 12,480,000,000,000 (12 trillion) times washing and drying.



Lets remember that socks are only a small part of the whole of Earth which would mean we have a virtual coin toss thousands of trillions of times each year. It stands to reason that maybe, just maybe some of our socks really do cross into another dimension.



Food for thought,

I've stolen bits and pieces of this from comedians and commentators but they've echoed my thoughts. Of course this may be offensive :)



Like I've said before people have called me racist or prejudice for some of my views especially on the Middle East and Muslim countries. Now the word prejudice means "to pre judge" without paying attention to the group. I've never pre-judged anything or anyone, nor do you have to when the proof is starring you in the face.



"Don't lump all Muslims in with terrorists" it's a little bit hard not to when you have city gatherings each week to behead people for being gay, having an affair, didn't convert.... The worst modern Christian extremists can do is point out the gay teletubby and watch Pat Robertson and Falwell make out with each other.



"We're just different, no group is better than the other" bull crap! Letting women read, vote and not wear a bloody sheet is better than being imprisoned for "disobeying" your husband. Having computers, internet porn and the rule of law is better than building a nation out of fear and autocracy. You morons scream bloody murder when anyone says the Holocaust was anything less than the worst event in human history and yet you seem to forget all folks Hussein gassed.



I can hear some of you now "well what about the Inquisition mister 'Jesus' man?" For one that was the Catholics ;) for two it was only a part of the Church and thirdly we stopped doing crap like that centuries ago! Have you actually read Muslim history? There's never been a time where they weren't killing folks for the dumbest reasons. How many authors have been killed the past few years for saying Muhammad had multiple wives?



Do you not remember journalists being beheaded just because they we're American or British?



I'm not saying all Muslims are bad people but you have to question anyone who thinks they're going to get 72 virgins when they die. Seriously, after a while you're going to want a pro.



"Hitler was a Christian" like hell he was. Hitler was a Jewish prostitute (or haven't you read a history book) who said Jesus fought for white supremacy. Just because Hitler admired Jesus doesn't make him a Christian. Did you never see the footage of Nazi's burning down churches and killing priests? If Hitler was a Christian then Obama is a domestic terrorist because he knows Bill Ayres.



Bottom line is the vast majority of Muslims are evil little bastards who deserve to get the crap blown out of them. You never hear of Al-Kindas now do you?



I get so sick of people telling Americans to not look at Muslims in the light of 9/11. It's about the same as asking a date-rape victim to think about the good dinner before hand - Thanks Dennis Miller

It seems the "Solid South" is over, both ways. I know many have forgotten that the South was the Democratic strong hold for decades. In fact secession was carried on democratic tickets. Of course more recently the Republicans have gained control of the South due to political changes which have made the Democrats much more liberal.



If exit polls are right all thats over. Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and possibly Florida (who knows what other States will flip) will be carried by Obama and the less populous States as well as Texas will go to McCain. To me this shows just how much things have changed over the past 4 years (thanks Bush et. al).



Anyway, as both a Southern Independent and one who has watched politics all my life I must say I'm rather pleased, yet perplexed, by all this. Perhaps this means the South will take over the dems again (prays) but, if not, I think it will at least show you can never discount the importance of all of Dixie.

Separation of Church and State
20:25 Nov 02 2008
Times Read: 1,308

I'm not a religious nut however, I am an expert on Constitutional law. Every time hear about 'separation of church and state' qualified by the First Amendment I want to scream. I ask the question "how many of you can read?"



"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"



Who shall make no law respecting -a what- an establishment of religion? Congress. Say it with me "Congress shall make no law", got it? Good.



Whats the second part? "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.." Now I'm not a pro at reading but if I understand correctly it doesn't say anything about states, cities, public or private clubs, individuals etc having to keep religion to themselves. I also don't see where cities or states can't have a baby Jesus for Christmas, a copy of the 10 Commandments or a picture of bloody Allah plastered on street signs if the general population is fine with it.



The darn Christians just wont give up. They infiltrate the military and talk about God and peace and being a good person to those sweet soldiers who are getting shot at and blown up. How dare the Christians give hope to a boy who's about to die.

Of course those pesky Wiccans can become "offended" and have their little symbols included everywhere even though wicca (not paganism) is not a real religion and is based on the words of a mentally ill Brit 50 years ago. Not to mention uses the same argument to promote religion while trying to stop another one.



Honestly I don't mind allowing other groups to place whatever documents of faith, anywhere, as long as the local population agrees. I do have a problem when Christians (or anyone else) is targeted as evil and must not be allowed to have "free exercise thereof."



I also have a problem with people not understanding what the word CONGRESS means. The Constitution is a "dead document" which means the letter of the law rules, not it's "intent." Do you know why it's a dead document? Because the meaning of "intent" is directly related to the temporary emotional state of a population and is governed by an absolute form of democracy. Absolute democracy is not what this country was founded upon, monarchies and dictators come from absolute democracies.



And don't give me the whole "clause" argument. The courts use those and the courts alone don't make laws only interpretations which can be accepted or declined by Congress, both federal and State.

"Barack Obama appears within reach of becoming the nation's first black president..."



"... Voters deeply distrust government and crave a new direction."



That was taken from an article by the AP

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081102/ap_on_el_pr/state_of_the_race



Do you not see a contradiction in the logic of American voters? Regardless of which side you are on Obama is the "big government kid" who promises that socialist redistribution of wealth is similar to sharing toys in kindergarten (I'm nearly quoting him exactly).



Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting for McCain nor am I a Rebulican..not a Democrat either. I just find it strange and a testament to the poor education and shear stupidity of the vast majority of American voters today.



I didn't mean to go into a rant about the election I just thought it was an interesting issue.

Alcohol cloud spotted in deep space
00:34 Nov 02 2008
Times Read: 1,337

Astronomers say they have spotted a cloud of alcohol in deep space that measures 463 billion kilometres across, a finding that could shed light on how giant stars are formed from primordial gas.



The vast bridge-shaped cloud of methyl alcohol has been spotted in a region of our galaxy, the Milky Way, that is called W3(OH), where stars are being formed by the gravitational collapse of concentrations of gas and dust, the discoverers said in a press release.



Methanol, an organic (carbon-based) molecule, is a cousin of ethanol, which is found in alcoholic beverages.



Methanol is not suitable for human consumption.



The cloud was spotted by astronomers based at Britain's Jodrell Bank Observatory led by Lisa Harvey-Smith.



Their work was to be presented on Tuesday at a meeting of the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS) in Leicester, central England.



In 2004, methanol, also called methyl alcohol, was spotted for the first time in one of the disc-like clusters that form around nascent stars.



That discovery opened up a new area of debate in astrophysics, challenging the conventional view that interstellar chemistry could not provide the conditions for creating complex molecules, as they would be ripped apart by ultraviolet radiation from stars and other tough conditions.



Around 130 organic molecules have also been identified so far in outer space, fuelling speculation that these complex molecules may have helped to sow the seeds for life on the fledgling Earth.

I guess if God made the universe that would mean he made a cloud of "beer" too. So happy drinking! Just don't get drunk.
