QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 12:28 AM) Yah, nothing but morons and assclowns at the NY Times. That makes sense. I think they're going to use that as the tag line in their next marketing campaign.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Feb 26, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) And just what is Canada doing towards accomplishing those goals that the US is not? - Canada is a signatory to the Kyoto accord. We are not. - Canada has affordable ARV and cancer chemotherapeutics. We do not. Or was this a rhetorical question?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt35 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 02:50 PM) What kind of person goes to a message board based in a foreign country and does nothing but take shots at that country's government? One without -induced myopia.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 06:47 PM) No need to be upset. When the nations who signed onto Kyoto start feeling the economic pain of compliance then we can sit back and laugh at them. Even by 2012 there will not be that much pain from compliance for the developed nations. They have all pretty much figured out their credit trading partners and they, not us, will be the ones to take advantage of the 'low hanging fruit' by getting credits (not to mention forging trade relationships) for helping build green infrastructure for the developing countries.

I closed on a house today! Now it's paint. paint, paint, so we can get moved in. The $#*&%$! property taxes are going to be TRIPLE what the MLS and the tax appraisers office suggested they were going to be, because of a newly enacted way of screwing new homeowners and making the initial taxable value assessment at essentially 100% of the selling price. Time to get that part-time pizza delivery job I guess...

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 10:02 AM) Alpine Valley? Yes.

Clapton and Stevie Ray and, I think, Robert Cray played together in the night Stevie Ray was killed. [/inconsequential tangent]

Actually, for me the second verse ("whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven...") represents the Dininely bestowed authority for all of the Popes who followed to make Ex Cathedra proclamations, papal infallability and all that, which according to Church doctrine are as good as hearing the statements directly from God.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 08:15 AM) I am actually curious if anyone can show me the biblical justification for the Pope, because in my self-admitted limited knowledge I can't find it. It's supposed to stem from Simon Peter and "You are the rock on which I shall build the church," etc. Jesus elevated him above the other desciples and the tradition of elevating one above all others in the church on Earth continues in the person of the pope.

You really have to work hard to get this much bad publicity... http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/MichaelJackson/s...d=529513&page=1

QUOTE(rangercal @ Feb 25, 2005 -> 01:03 AM) I dont know too many people with the name chisoxygirl To be fair, the database only goes back to 1900. I hear it was a very popular name in the 1890s.

And I think you're quite safe from the lightning.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 11:13 PM) His closest advisers are at his side. I'll set the over/under at 72 hours. So what's the over/under on your being struck by a rogue bolt of lightning? In all seriousness, JPII is one-of-a-kind. Meeting him, shaking his hand etc., ever so briefly when he came and said mass at the old Quigley South way back when I was a kid was a major thrill in the young life of this one-time Catholic with (don't laugh) seminary aspirations. JPII

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) shut it nuke.... you know positive news has been outlawed in these parts.... Well, that's just not true. Here, the positive news of the day regarding our missle programs: Canada Opts Out of US Defense Shield

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 10:22 PM) It's Java. But what about the database itself? Is it anything special? Dynamic juggling of 1,000 names a year over 100 years as each letter is typed into the field is pretty dang cool.

What a wicked cool dynamic interface. I have some friends at the Smithsonian marine station down here that would kill to be able to get some of their multi-year census data into an interface like that. Any of you web geeks know exactly how this works? What kind of data base is it and how does the interface applet tie into it?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 06:16 PM) A. That would be bad karma B. No points really. He's old. You get minimal points for oldsters, not zero points. Man, the years I wasted slots filled with should-be ringers - people like Marjorie Stoneman Douglas and the Queen Mum and Reagan and Eubie Blake and George Burns, etc., who just kept hanging on. :banghead

OK, time for you single guys to update that pre-nup: Item 17a) I promise not to deceitfully engage in sexual acts which no reasonable person would expect could result in pregnancy. Item 17b) I promise not to to use your sperm in an unorthodox, unanticipated manner yielding extreme consequences. Item 17c) I understand that, however unlikely you would ever ask for it back, your sperm will not be legally construed as a gift and will not be used in a manner counter to Items 17a and 17b above. Item 18) If at any time during our relationship it becomes apparent that I am in fact a raving whack job, the relationship shall be immediately terminated. I further agree to destroy any and all sperm I've managed to maintain possession of up to this point, pursuant to Item 17c above.

An excellent, excellent site! And of course the the only thing we know that most certainly would destroy the earth is.... A Vogon superspace highway.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 01:35 PM) that's right, you hide behind a veil of quasi-I'm attacking the group not the individual BS. No BS, no inconsistency, and no quasi- anything, my dear online friend. I take zero personal offense in your characterizations of leftys, liberals, bleeding hearts, atheists and other miscellaneous hell fodder, although I'm a member in good standing of all of the above. And I'll not lose any sleep at being called an ass, but since the attack was of a personal nature I pointed it out. If you want to defend the collective entities you are affiliated with you should, and if you want to knock those that I'm affililiated with you certainly should. If statements made here misrepresent or caricaturize those entities, point out where fact and perception differ. Busting out Bible verses (or opining that your opponent is a future Dura-Flame log on the fires of hell) as proof of the correctness of a position seems easier than making verifiable factual arguments but to each his/her own.

QUOTE(winodj @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 01:39 PM) My roommate is seriously trying to kick me out of my apartment, in no small part, because of my taste in art. Now, by "taste in art," do you mean you're actually, literally tasting the art in the apartment? Man, who knew coffee tables were a gateway drug?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) Denystified? It doesn't seem that mystical Haha! Just Tuesday the European Commission approved a drug called Prialt for sale in the UE (it got FDA approval back in December) as a treatment of chronic severe pain. It’s a synthetic version of a toxic compound isolated from a venomous tropical pacific snail! Because the compound works on neuropathic pain at the level of the presynaptic neurotransmitter by blocking certain ion channels, it can be used to manage pain without the systemic side effects of current opioid therapeutants. Yeah, no need to dumb any of that down for the public… Hopefully a number of promising marine-derived drugs will see the light of day before too long. Funny, for the longest time "drugs from the sea" meant that errant bail of pot that washed ashore occasionally after smugglers dumped their cargo. We call them "square grouper" – and they’re quite a valuable catch pound for pound.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 24, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) What book are you writing? Marine Biotechnology Demystified. To be available in website format hopefully in May.
