Eleven consecutive posts without prompting or response. That has to be a new record. One wonders, since it's clearly capable of entertaining itself, why must the rest of us suffer?

Re: Are Massive Arcs of High-Energy Photons That Sweep Milky Way From Another Univers It's a concept in M-Theory, which is one of the major schools of String Theory. Theoretically, a Brane is a String (Not the kind you're cat plays with.) stretched in several dimsensions. According to...

Re: Are Massive Arcs of High-Energy Photons That Sweep Milky Way From Another Univers This strikes me as similar in principle to the Big Splat theory, that our universe was formed by two colliding branes.

Either "Will Never Marry", or "Everyday is Like Sunday."

Whoops. My bad. I can’t tell from text, I merely assumed. Of course, we all know what happens when one does that. Phrases like this just give me the warm fuzzies.

I tip my hat to you, sir. :D

Absolutely. However, this project at hand does not require a PHD. I'm merely critically evaluating a public institution. This is really masturbatory nonsense. I'm perfectly aware of the limitations of human knowledge, but I'm pretty sure we exist and are having this conversation, clearly so...

Non-academic, possibly. I could very well concede that. Otherwise, nonsense. This is absurd. One does not need a theology degree to use and understand the word 'religion.' We're going to have to agree to disagree. This is a total impasse. I think this is so fundamentally wrong. What...

No, he isn't. Moreover, given your political affiliations, and previous statements you've made, this fake outrage about racism is just totally ridiculous. Today, that's probably accurate, or at least more accurate than not. To the extent that racists participate in mainstream politics...

Yes, words have multiple meaning and interpretations. However, I know what I meany by it, and I'm sure you know what I'm talking about, as well. So, it's really irrelevant. First of all, making a moral judgement was part of my whole point. That religion necessitates and perpetuates barbarism...

I can't believe I'm saying this; but for once in his life he's right about something.

You need to take up meditation, or yoga or something. There's no comparison. I 'believe' in a material universe, governed by the four forces, by the laws of thermodynamics, etc. This 'belief', if you want to call it that, is based on empirical evidence and observation. I am just as passionate...

No. From Merriam-Webster: " re·li·gion Pronunciation: \ri-ˈli-jən\ Function: noun Date: 13th century 1 a : the state of a religious <a nun in her 20th year of religion> b (1) : the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or...

I disagree. I was against the war before it even began. I don't see any hypocrisy, here. The central thesis was this recent assault by IDF forces, if there had been some big massacre, or some similar even in Iraq or Afghanistan, it would get it's own thread and we'd discuss it. There have been...

There's tons more footage we haven't seen, and maybe never will. There were a number of journalists on the boat, Israeli forces seized the cameras and footage and have been disinclined to disclose them. They haven't released any footage of the initial approach, which implicitly supports the...
