Afghanistan has been conquered several times.
Alexander the Great cut a swath through it but did not conquer all of what we consider modern Afghanistan.
The Maryuan Empire conquered them completely around 100BC.
Mongols and Arab invaders have done the same.
If Afghanistan has an...
I would not get the 80" TV yet as it is an 'entry' level model. If you want 3D or advanced features stick to 70". If you can afford it the Sharp Elite PRO-70X5FD is a great set but at 5K can be a bit much. The Panasonic TC-P65VT30 is a 65" which you can get for 2.5K and is an exceptional device.
Acknowledging that no amount of evidence can reduce the possibility of god to zero I am agnostic. However given the absence of evidence supporting god I find no reason to believe in its existence. Most atheist would be considered agnostic.
I am not very up on this case. My basic understanding is a cop stops Abu-Jamal younger brother in a traffic stop. Mumbia is nearby in his cab. He moves over to the stop and shooting occurs. Mumbia is found at the scene with a holstered revolver. He is shot and the cop is shot. Bullets retrieved...

Agnosticism is a stance between belief and knowledge. To know something and to believe something are two different things. An agnostic simply holds that for some questions one can not have knowledge of the answer. It has no effect on what they believe the answer to be. The existence of God is...
Agnostic is an idea that a question truthful answer is unknowable. I am an agnostic atheist. I do not believe god exists but there is a chance I am wrong.
Atheism is not a belief system any more than not collecting coins is a hobby.
Even though this thread is 10 pages long evolution posts are like crack to me and I am compelled to respond.
Almost all biologists will say evolution is a fact, however they would say evolution by natural selection is a theory. Looking at the world around us leads to the factual observation...
The sad thing about most of what I saw in that video was how little was known about wealth. Basically this guy is bragging about what he spent his wealth on to show that he is wealthy. It is the thought processes of a child! It is amazing the number of people that have nice things but have no...
#1 also takes great liberty with its sources. All that is mentioned in the lawsuit is the IRS is not a government agency, which it is not. It is a government bureau. The agency that runs the IRS is the US Treasury. The Treasury has several bureau or departments of which the IRS is a significant one.
This is silly. Take #35. The executive mentions human capital. This is a concept that a person can invest in themselves (or a company can invest in training a person). This investment result in knowledge typically a college degree but it could be bomb disposal skills found in a army specialist...
it is a comparision of their frequency to molest versus their frequency in the general population.
If whites make up 70% of the population they should make up 70% of the child molester. Since they make up 51% they are under represented based on their total population.
I think you have this a bit backwards in each case the candidate rose in the polls which prompted the MSM to pay more attention to them. The media simply goes where it thinks the best story is. (best defined as commercial) As people paid more attention to certain candidate the media paid more...
The intellectual bankruptcy of "prophecy" is wonderfully on display in this thread.
The Medes (Iran) are going to be stir up against Babylon(America). They will use a sword bathed in heaven (nuclear weapons) to roll the heavens up like a scroll (drop mushroom clouds on us).
Ok got it. Think I...
