sounds like bin laden... mmmhhh... cldn't the Discovery Institute shitheads and their followers have planned 9/11 hand in hand with the fundamentalist muslim bozos after all?? perhaps worth investigating, don't u think bs?
Nik, they are absolutely NOT, honest... this paper was leaked, nothing intentional here... they'll resort to anything, lies, misrepresentations, absolutely anything to achieve their goals... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wedge_strategy#Origins_of_the_Wedge_Document and surprisingly enough - or not if like me u are familiar with the US education system and its huge shortcomings - they have already made a lot of damage: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80920
What makes you think one is different from the other. The only difference is some sectors of the cube are a few hundred years behind the other sectors and have not been fully integrated with the collective. <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/421/borgcubeba3.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a> Once operational, the logic and Modus operandi of the cube will be one and the same. Resistance is futile. Eventually you will all be assimilated..........
nice pic... i don't think there is any fundamental difference between fundamentalists of all stripes, be it religion-, race-, ideology-driven... from a neurobiologic standpoint... the good thing about it is that its relatively easy to turn them against each other... as for the assimilation process, it has completed long ago bs... the world is run by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_humanism and thats not gonna change we'll just continue to arrange for u guys to keep slaughtering each other senseless, since thats the only thing u're good at
top cool! didn't know of this alternative to Intelligent Santa and here's the wiki entry, too good http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster
from what i see so far, these ID guys and their movement qualifies as a sect practicing head-on theistic terrorism... not unlike al quaeda... whats the prevailing legal regime for sects in the US?
I wonder what the ID crowd think about this nonsense: http://www.guardian.co.uk/guardianweekly/story/0,,1954377,00.html
I would be concerned by both sides of this issue if I could not think for myself. Oh no public discourse. The funny thing is when I quoted astrophysicists who admit the universe we live in looks designed -- 2cents, the self proclaimed physicist had no reply. what is the harm in making science prove its concepts. Do we really want false premises taught in our schools. Just today we saw a paper linked on another thread that admited random chance could not have been responsible for evoloution because it would have taken too long. Biologists now surmise that evoloution might occur because of mechanisms designed to cope with environmental change. This new thought was forced on them by the IDers who basically took the position (postulated by scientists) that we could never have evolved this far by random chance. We did not have the time. I remember all the smart guys used to say of course its random hey if you had enough monkeys banging typewriters at random eventually one would compose the Illiad. Of course at the time i said bullshit. It turns out we do not have enough matter in the universe for that to happen. Now biologists also seem to agree evolution does not happen at random. So much for that random chance b.s. But you see guys like 2cents get all emotional when their world view is challenged. yes lets wipe out all the Iders thoughts from the web - but first we must kill all the lawyers.
Yes, nice one Jem. Secular Humanism is probably the most popular religion in the world, but, like all fantatical belief systems, woe to anyone anyone who points out the problems. My Phd looked at the secular humanism/ other religion worldview. I started out with a dim view of Christians but actually found their best philosophers very open and deep thinking. I still can't believe in any type of Creator God, but I do respect the honesty and lucidity of the ID movement.
