How many fanatics claim to have god on there side, most of them! The main current conflicts in the Middle East can be whittled down to religion. The Jews believe Israel is there, the Palestinians believe its there and both claim to have god on there side, the basis of there on going, near sighted and pathetic conflict is RELIGION! A conflict that has been ongoing for over two thousand years. Also the war in Iraq has been made into (by the Muslim fanatics in that region), a war between Christians and Muslims. Yes animals kill one another, when chimp fight they fight for dominance and rarely kill there own kind, usually the looser is driven off and never returns. Most animals kill for food and teritory. However Humanity is the only animal that kills for control. Yes religion does not make people evil, but it sure as hell gives them an excuse for rapping, bashing, destroying and killing everything in there way, in the name of there peace loving god!

You are the idoit little one. Have a read of history and you will come to the same conclusion, religion is the clear link to the on going persiction of the human race, one of the main problems within the middle east is there religion, which keeps the people uneducated and controlled. I feel sorry for you Hugo, you have my pitty, because you are a small narrow minded little man.

regardless of weather or not Logging compainies replant after they have removed the trees, the damage to the eco system can take up to 50 years to regenerate, in this time frame the land is open to soil degradation and erosion, which in tern damages the eco system further. In south australia we have a number of large pine forests which were initially grown to farm, however the greenies started to complain and now the forests are protected, which means the logging compainies have to go looking else where for product, which is pathetic. Logging is a fact of life, but I think it needs to be done well and not used as an excuse to rape the planet. the below link is to a site which shows the decline of old growth forests in the usa http://www.ancienttrees.org/history.php

I agree religion is the root and cause of all of humanities problems and those who disagree please go read some unaldulterated history and FFS don't quote the bible as truth. On a personal note, I do believe in god, but its nothing like what is represented in the bibles of the world. People who follow religion are slaves, they are slaves because of there own fear of there impending death, it is our own fear of mortality that makes us slaves and drives so many to the lies and bullshit that is religion. Religion does not mean you believe in god and a belief in god does not mean you are religious. Religion is a cult, it control it followers, dulls there minds and when you dare say anything against there precious little belief structures they attack. I would like to think humanity will someday over come there dependency on this fallocentric way of thinking, but to be honest with you I doubt it, not unless something monumental happens to evolve humanities thinking.

As a fellow male I know how you feel, what I do know about the drugs, is that used in the early stages and I mean early, as in the first month the risks are lower, after that they become less so. My point is that the drugs is showing far greater benifits regarding tumors and some cancer (not sure which ones though), than just a abortion pill. Thus in australia if the TGA get control of it, people who have these tumors etc might be bale to live out a long life, rather than die early. So on a personal note, I hope the bill passes and the australian public can get to use this drug

Tell me about bloody liberal gov (liberals in australia are like the republicans in the USA). They're having a conscious vote on the pill tomorrow, atm the health minister has control over the drug and seen as though he is a catholic, the pill has been out of reach for everyone. However alot of people don't know that RU486 has also been proven to halt the growth of certain brain tumors http://virtualtrials.com/btlinks/sitemap.html on a personal note, I do not agree with off the hat abortions, people who are stupid enough not to use protection deserve what they get. However if a woman falls pregnent as a result of rape, or the child is to be deformed etc then I don't have a problem with it.

I was told that by a catholic priest who was leaving the priest hood because of all the poofs in the church

The catholic church is full of homosexuals, in the catholic religion the definition of a homosexual is this. The person doing the fucking is not gay, but the male being fucked is. They also blame the child who is abused by a priest, the priest is not guilty of child abuse, but is guilty of being weak. It is the child who is guilty, because they tempted the priest. Nice case of denial!!!!!!!!!

Contrary to the belief is some people I do believe in God, but not in religion. You made some good points, points I have long thought about during my life. God doesn't directly talk to mankind because it is so far beyond us, its not possible. It would be like you trying to communicate to a one celled organisim. Even if you could, you would be so far beyond the one celled organisms ability to comprehaned you would most probably kill it. Again I do not believe any religion is right, but I also think in some messure they are. The one underlying message you get from all religions, (if you can ignore the crap) is that all life is connected. But once again God does not demonstrate its power because we are to small to understand. There is a buddist saying that roughtly goes. when I was a caterpillar I thought as a caterpillar and lived as a caterpillar, when I became a butterfly it is beyond the caterpillar to understand what I have become, so I now live as a butterfly and take no notice of the caterpillars. We cannot talk to the dead because they have become more that we are capable of understanding. Yeah but you are thinking of a singluar omi precent entity, which is crap, god is life, its the understanding of the conscious mind, as it begins to comprehend ones own existence. The creation thoery is flawed and so is the pure evolution thoery. Creations main flaw is basically who created God, because God had to be created and the filler argument that god has always been is pathetic and flawed, so don't even try. Also evolution began with the big band, which basically says that there was a void and matter formed within the void. My question is this, how did the void start and how did matter forum within the void, when a void is a pure state of nothing?

One of the funniest conspiracy theories I have ever heard is from the Flat Earth society. These jokers acutally believe the earth if FLAT Hear is a link you might find funny http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth_Society Its a good laugh. There is also another one called the hollow earth myth, it basically says the earth of hollow and in living in the middle of the earth is a highly advanced race of lizard people, who enter and exit the earth via a hole in the south pole. http://www.crystalinks.com/hollowearth.html http://www.meta-religion.com/Paranormale/Hollow_Earth/a_hollow_earth.htm

Agreed, the Nazis exterminated most of the European gypsies and a number of other monitories, however because there numbers were never as great as the Jews, there deaths made up the bulk of the killings. I have heard all the arguments from people saying the holocaust never happened and if it did, it wasn

An old mate of mine has a habbit of rubbing his hands together when ever he sees an attractive woman. Oh yeah my dad walks around his home making a kind of squeeking, whistling noise, its not a tune, bust a kind of squeeking whistle, it drive me up the walls!

try these http://www.ushmm.org/ http://www.holocaust-history.org/ http://www.holocaustsurvivors.org/ http://history1900s.about.com/library/holocaust/blholocaust.htm http://www.historyplace.com/worldwar2/holocaust/timeline.html I ask you this, if the holocaust didn't happen, how did approx 6 million jews die? Did they all do the lemming dance? I think the main problem people have with the idea of the holocaust or any act of genoside (the holocaust is not the first time, or last time this type of thing has happened), is that people do not want to admit to themselves that we all have this type of zenophobia within us. Weather you believe in creation or evolution, the fact is that humanity has risen to the top of the food chain because of one simple fact. Humanity is the worlds most efficient killer, and with the right training and motivation, humanity embraces the killer within with ease.

When the laws regarding prostitution and gambling were removed in Nevada, the criminals opened up Las Vegas, I don't think you can ever get rid of gangs as per say, I think they will just change there ways and become legit buisness. I think the drug problem world wild is beyond belief, if you did legalize the drug trade, you would get rid of alot of the criminal element, but in doing so, you would end up with more addicts and social problems in the long run, atm, the addicts are in the minority and its the laws that keep most people away from become addicts/ dealers, I say we should have even harsher laws for drug dealers, everytime someone takes a hit of heroin, cocaine, speed, x, or any other hard drug they run the risk of overdosing and dying, I think drug dealers should get the death penalty.

Most of the documentation of the holocaust comes from the Nazis, they thought they were going to win ww2 and made films, documentated who was killed and how, keep records of all those who were killed, even though some of these records were burnt in the last days of the war, some remained, they also made films of camps. Also the allies when they came across the camps did the same, they filmed the camps, the mass graves, killing rooms and crematoriums.
