Just keep running with the team. Eventually you will get stronger legs and you'll be fine.

Horrible answer. Predestination means your whole life has been planned already. The real answer is that God is outside of time, thus, his preordination has taken into account every choice you made and will make. And since He is outside of time, He has planned everything according to the choices everyone will make.

uh... I said that, I just took less words. I thought it was assumed that I was saying your entire life was planned around your free will.

I actually feel like telling you that pre-destination and free will do not conflict. If there is pre-destination then you do have free will. The choices you will make however have already been understood and planned around. It is never planned around the choices you don't make, because those will never ever happen. If you were to say that someone might make a different choice if they were told again of the circumstances then I would say that has already been planned for anyway. (I personally do not believe in pre-destination anyway).

We only get one shot because we only have one body. Do you have another one lying around somewhere? No. Once your brain tissue dies what was once 'you' is gone forever. It won't ever come back not in any form or in any way. Souls do not exist, they are just a religious way of explaining the fact that humans are self-aware.

Death is like before you were born. What was that like? You don't know. You don't know what death is like either. Because you will never experience it. You won't feel anything, you won't know anything, you won't remember anything, you won't be anything.

It isn't looking at a black void for the rest of forever, its not doing anything for the rest of forever. When your life is over you don't live any more, nothing happens.

Clinton is a highly intelligent man. Bush is not. It was said that when Clinton walked into a room he was immediately the most intelligent man in that room. I believe it. Bush is constantly made fun of for his inability to speak English. I'm pretty sure that makes Clinton better.

Clinton had an affair with a secretary and lied about it. Bush has so far lied about drunk driving, WMDs in Iraq, personally signed death orders that killed the most people in a state's history, needlessly sent off American soldiers, killed 1000 American military personnel as a result of his lack of planning, allowed 1000 american civilians to die in the World Trade Center by choosing to ignore key intelligence reports, used his fathers connections to avoid military service, bankrupted the company he took over, pushed the national debt to a new height unheard of before his administration took over... the list goes on.

Wait a second! There were two models in '86 - it was the first year for the 9000, stateside. The '86 I have is a 9000 turbo. I do also have an '84 900. But oil changes on both are a cinch, what-joo-talkin-bout-willis?

I didn't pay much attention to the model, but the car sucked. It was old and showed it. Anyway, the oil change was a pain because you can't get at the filter from the bottom, you have to from the top and whoever did it before had it pretty snugly fitting and the tool was pretty difficult to get in there to loosen it up. Just a bad experience for me. Not to mention I prefer hoods that open straight up instead of up, forward, and down.

Yea, well, this one will blow you away. My boss is an auto mechanic, and his old ford SUV had over 600,000 miles on the odometer.

And I have plans to drive my car until it dies. Which won't be anytime soon considering volvo makes a lot of optional pieces that can blow out or fall off and have no effect on the vehicle. (I'm convinced the thing could lose its transmission and still go)

awww... no offense but I hate Saabs. Probably because the person I knew who had one sucked. Also I hate the particular model you have, because changing the oil on that thing is a bitch and a half.

But yea, the most obscene speeds I've done is like 90 in a 25 mph zone.

But it sounds like you drive like an asshole >:(

Only late at night when I need to be home at 12 and its 11:56. I don't do that when there are other people in the roads, and speeding is the only law I break. I know the rights of way rules, I always signal, I fully stop at every single stop sign regardless of whether people are there or not.

Oh, and don't take my hatred of Saabs too seriously, its just a little thing I have, maybe a volvo complex or something.

I love driving stick, but have an auto car, so I don't get to drive it that much...

But I find that the hardest thing while driving is keeping my speed down. The roads by my house are friggin awesomely fun to drive on.

I tell you guys, you have not experienced life until you've been passed by me doing about 100 in my 1989 volvo 240 DL sedan. 260000 miles is key to the class of the vehicle.

But yea, the most obscene speeds I've done is like 90 in a 25 mph zone. (I uh, kinda memorized the cops schedules so that isn't a problem).

but yea, I'm proud of my 14 minute run to my girlfriends house 13 miles away. That includes three lights, and two stop signs. As well as about 75% of the roads having speed limits under 40.

You did nothing but prove that homosexuality is a sin, and that you don't even care about anything but lust.

Uh... I'm sure all heterosexuals only care about love, and only having sex just because they need to carry on the human population. Anybody who has sex is sinful. Period. The bible says that, why do you think Jesus was the only one born without the 'original sin'? His mom didn't screw. That tells me everyone who ever has sex is sinful. Its all a sin so why not man on man?

The real reason people are against gay marriage is because it is wrong. It is a sin, and most of us believe in right and wrong and in a higher power.

It is wrong to you. Why? I don't know, but you are very hypocritical in how you say it. Have you ever had sex? If so then you are sinful.

Your rhetoric won’t save you now. Satan.

Uh huh, right back at ya...

After you die you think you’ll be nothing anyways so why should we even help you. Seeing how if there is no right or wrong we don’t have to do a thing to help you.

Who is this 'we'? What the hell are you talking about when you say 'help'? Government is based on laws, not men (the US anyway). The laws say no discrimination and equal rights for everyone. It doesn't matter what anyone else says, they aren't the law.

And constitutionally your not able to marry so…leave it be how it is

You seem to have forgotten Massachusetts. We proudly marry gay couples. Just come here and get marries. Constitutionally Gays will not be allowed to marry if an amendment is passed. It hasn't happened yet so they are still allowed to marry.

You are all lucky we even let you be gay to begin with!

What? Are you so blinded by your fictionalized bible that you cannot read the Constitution? He isn't lucky we let him do anything, he has the same rights to think what he wants and do what he wants.

STOP ASKING FOR MORE!!!!

He isn't asking for more, gays are just demanding the same. Its called equality.

Being gay doesn’t bother us till you do this crap and show how sinful you are.

Yes is does, otherwise you would have no problem with gay marriage.

If you dont belive in god then it cant be wrong for us to just off you.(silly beliefs)

Yep, with each thing you said you steadily lost credibilty, and I think this just put you off the scale in terms of any respectability whatsoever. You have just proven yourself to be a close-minded bigot who's only interpretation has so blinded him from the reality that is the United States Constitution you don't think its wrong to kill someone just because you hate how they are. Do you hate Black people too?

Freedom of speech = you are wrong.

creationism and evolution are BOTH theories. As far as i'm concerned, if you're not in a philosophy class...NIETHER should be taught in high school.

I love how the republican argument for gay marriage is to follow Biology or follow the bible, but now you shouldn't follow biology, a field that accepts evolution as a valid theory mainly because it makes sense. Think about it, we know DNA splits and mixes when organisms mate, why wouldn't it change a little bit each time? Considering the genetic makeup of everything is about 90% identical, I'd say that at one point it was 100% identical and we've just moved away from that by evolving.

That wasn't george bush's fault. That wasn't our current administrations faulth. That wasn't even america's fault. That was the whole world's fault. From the un right up to many major foreign countries.
Place the blame where it is due, not where it is convinient.

Right, the UN should have taken on the largest superpower ever to grace the Earth when they told us that there were no WMD's in Iraq and we refused to believe them and just had to step in because we are "mighty America, always right." It is George W. Bush's fault, he is the Commander in Chief all the time you know, not just when he makes good decisions. It doesn't matter if he knew the intelligence was flawed, he is directly responsible, due to the responsibility inherent in his job.

he isn't a hypocrite who persues medals, the Republicans have persued medals in order to make him out to be some sort of untrustworthy person just because he protested the vietnam war. He served in it for his country, but that didn't mean it was right. I find it funny that "Kerry shouldn't be elected because of some medals he threw away or indecision on certain complex issues" is enough to go head to head with Bush's outstanding record as president and still draw a 50% split in the polls.

Hey, I was in a pretty similar situation (the curse of shyness). What you do is wait a little while. Unless its been about 3 months of you liking this girl then don't go for it until its been that long. If you are so completely smitten with her then you can at least wait 3 months to figure out whether there is any interest whatsoever. Does the girl talk to you? Does she ever smile if you talk to her?

Think about it, girls don't always let on when they are interested in someone. It took me two years to figure out that I liked a girl more than any of the others, and probably 2 months since I decided I would ask her out for me to actually do it. Another 2 months until I actually asked her to be my official girlfriend, another 2 until we held hands, and then it took off from there. The best relationships are those that go from notice, to acquaintance, to friends, to more than friends, to boyfriend/girlfriend, and so on and so forth. This girl didn't ever show interest and neither did I (we were both shy people, and for some reason I was afraid of people knowing I liked someone).

The point is this: go for it if you think you've waited long enough and are completely sure. Once you have, take your time, I've been going out with my girl for over a year now, and we've already figured everything out and don't plan on ever being separated. Whoodathunkit?

If you don't believe in a God, then what is your basis for your morals or any type of right or wrong behavior? Because if there is no god then.....how can you justify any of your actions as being right or wrong????

I set my own standards by what I consider good. I was given the benefit of a childhood where it was clearly distinguished what the difference between right and wrong was. Killing people is not on my agenda because that is wrong. Stealing is not on my agenda because stealing is wrong.

I guess I'm the only one here who has figured this question out, so allow me to answer it for you:

The basis of my determination of what is right and wrong is other people. I like people. Pretty much everyone. People hold good conversations, give you a good laugh, help you experience life, protect you, give you confidence, give you power. People hold hateful conversations, make you angrier than you ever thought possible, try to destroy life, expose you, make you self-conscious, and place you in ruins...
God isn't an almighty powerful being somewhere else, God is people. A large group of humans can do just about anything to a single man or woman they want to... that I will believe.

I personally do not believe in god.

I see it like this, there are two types of people (maybe more, but I'm only talking about two). One type is too intelligent to take almost anything anyone says as fact without specific and concrete evidence. These types of people are realists in every sense of the word, they have to have everything proven for them fully and completely in order for them to accept something as true.

The other type, will believe in what you have to say simply because it offers an explanation and is plausible. These people don't need concrete evidence, just as long as somebody said it once and phrased it nicely they will go along with it. I always found it slightly funny that people who would say 'Oh My God' frequently were also the ones who told and listened to rumors with no credence to them without a second thought as to their believability.

Personally, I like to think that I am one of the people who just needs solid proof to accept something as true. I think that God is just a part of people's minds that takes care of the need for a friend and companion when there is no worldly thing that will do.

I hope I haven't insulted anyone by saying this, it is just my opinion. I think God is a great thing to many people, just not to me. God helps people deal with their problems, gives them a reason for everything, gives them a motivation for championing certain causes, gives people a unifying character trait that allows for friendships to grow and prosper, and gives people a way to get over the loss of people near and dear to them.

I do not think that I need God, and have come to an understanding with myself that I never will. I have had a certain set of morals that I have followed all my life. I cannot say I like following what other people set as a trend, but am not surprised when I find myself doing something familiar. I am not afflicted by the crippling need to conform, nor the ridiculous need to rebel.

To summarize for people not into long posts:
God: no
Morals: yes
Church: no
People: yes

Would you consider yourself a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or what?

I know I thought it was a great speech, definitely left very little room for any coherent retaliation by the Republicans. I honestly think that Kerry will do a little cleaning up if he is elected. He can't do everything and you can't believe every promise mostly because anything good he tries to do will be stymied by the Republicans in Congress.

I was just wondering what some people's thoughts are on Kerry's speech. I thought it was quite well written, and I'd like to see some Republican response to his speech (I would prefer if you actually watched it).
