So I've been talking to the mods as well as a handful of members I talk to in real life about the need and plan to draft rules for the community, as well as for specific sections. Likewise, we've also been discussing moderating protocols as a part of that. Anyhow, the community has seen steady growth, which is great. It ebbs and flows, but has been incrementally trending up since we relaunched it about two years ago or so. There's been a few spikes or exponential growth and there's a lot I'm trying to do outside the forum to build up budget to be able to take bigger steps with both the 12ozProphet brand and the forum. That being said, we're also li…

I thought it would be an interesting thread to talk about what people beleived about God. I always meet people and we discuss what God is and what God wants etc. according to their outlook. I find the concept of God truly amazing, and I am curious to know what other people think about God, whether you beleive or not, Explain why you beleive or why you don't beleive. Please keep it respectful, keep in mind there are people who strongly beleive in God and negative comments will hinder the bulding process .Again, Lets talk about the nature of God , not politics ,world events or religious side issues. There are plenty of threads to talk about politics ,world events or r…

http://www.physics.byu.edu/research/energy/htm7.html this is a very long read. however, it is important. " Why Indeed Did the WTC Buildings Collapse? By Steven E. Jones Department of Physics and Astronomy Brigham Young University Provo, UT 84602 ABSTRACT In this paper, I call for a serious investigation of the hypothesis that WTC 7 and the Twin Towers were brought down, not just by impact damage and fires, but through the use of pre-positioned cutter-charges. I consider the official FEMA, NIST, and 9-11 Commission reports that fires plus impact damage alone caused complete collapses of all three buildings. And I pr…

Anyone got any thoughts on this? Initially I thought it would die down in a few days, but they are almost 2 weeks into it and now it's gaining momentum. A workers union TWU in NYC is now joining the fray, and after an incident where a police officer Anthony Bologna was caught pepper spraying young women, the movement is actually starting to get MSM attention. At this point I think anything can happen, the movement is starting to pop up in other major cities across the country. This is starting to get intense if you ask me. For links on this stuff all you have to do is head to reddit and go to the politics tab, it's almost entirely all about Occup…

Negative: When you have the Shiite Muslim majority of Iraq, the people who were supposed be on the U.S. side, rioting in cities all across the country and taking over various government buildings, then I think Iraq can be branded as an official disaster. Positive: This disaster that was solely created by George W. Bush will reflect badly on his bid for re-election. Vote John Kerry 2004!

I wanna hear yours. And then disprove them. I'll start with one I've yet to disprove, mostly because it's so vague (which clearly, are the best explanations). I was baptized when I was 13 in a non-denominational Christian church. Don't know why, it was popular at the time for my family... it made grandma smile I guess. Anyways they made me take "Members Classes" to engrain myself to the teachings of this church. This is what I got out of it: I asked the preacher, "How do you know there is a God?" He responded with this: "Do you see this watch I have on my arm (nice gold watch)? Would you believe me if I told you that I made this watch myself.…

:lol: I posted this in the Ron Paul thread and thought maybe his supporters should have a place to compare notes, and his critics to share too. Out of the field, Kucinich represents my ideals the most, but Obama (as with Paul) represents what I see as a real change... I don't doubt Paul's ability or intelligence, but I don't think your doubts about Obama are well founded either. What I think is funny is that so many of you think a surgeon would be more apt at protecting the constitution than Obama, who is a constitutional lawyer. From his bio: "Obama graduated from Columbia University in 1983. In 1991, Obama graduated from Harvard Law School where he…

I honestly don't know whose worse the crazy ass Christians or these know-it-all down with the man up with hemp and tofu free Palestine fucks. Our government is currently voting on whether to create an amendment that makes it illegal to burn the US Flag. And there is ONE vote to swing it. Are you fucking kidding me? The people that are supposed to be the most loyal to the flag wont even stand up for it....yeah yeah free speech, etc. What a bunch of shit. You dumb fucks are taking the one thing…

Thousands to launch tea-party protest against govt. spending Tens of thousands of conservative activists are preparing to descend on the nation's capital Saturday for a rowdy tea-party style protest, event planners say. About 30,000 have signed up on the event's website to attend the march and rally and oppose what they call excessive government spending, says Adam Brandon, spokesman for FreedomWorks, a group that supports lower taxes and less government. Former House majority leader, Republican Dick Armey, is the organization's chairman. More may show, Brandon says, and at least 450 tour buses will bring protesters from around the country. Both the U…

ARE YOU 100% SURE THAT IF YOU DIED TODAY THAT YOU WOULD GO TO HEAVEN? THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: 1. REALIZE THAT YOU ARE A SINNER AND IN NEED OF A SAVIOR: Ro 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Ro 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" This all began with the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. God created them perfect, there was no death or sorrow. God told them not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God and as a result, sin entered into the world. The pain which this world sees is the result of sin. 2. BECAUSE OF OUR SINS, W…

What is wrong with the New World Order. The Global Government Debate Thread 1 2 3 4 11

Just wondering, what would be so wrong with a New World Order or a Global Government. Imagine if you could a world where every nation was unified under one government with one currency. There would be no need for visas, trade would be global, and fluctuating currency would not exist under unified global market. So what is the negative? Maybe the fear of one totalitarian government? A global police state? What if the unified government was based on the UN model of representatives from each nation? What if the global government was based on the democracy that we have now? Your thoughts and feelings on what would be so wrong or right about the unification…

A lot of this is just rough ideas for papers for classes or writings I have/am doing just to refine my form. the first is a paper topic for my philosophy of mind class. I am responding to a paper that calls for a phenomenological language that accounts for consciousness if we are to have a total theory of mind. Nagel speaks of the necessity of a phenomenological language that accounts for subjective experience and consciousness if we are to ever conceive of a sound and total theory of…

Obama vows to hunt down terrorists By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 30 minutes ago WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said Wednesday that he would send troops into Pakistan to hunt down terrorists even without local permission if warranted — an attempt to show strength when his chief rival has described his foreign policy skills as naive. The Illinois senator warned Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf that he must do more to shut down terrorist operations in his country and evict foreign fighters under an Obama presidency, or Pakistan will risk a U.S. troop invasion and losing hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S.…

time to start this discussion up again. I'm struck recently by how calous israel is...in public statements even. Usually when a state does somthing horrible they try to sugar coat things...not with israel it seems. Horrible things are happening, but when a palestinian suicide bomber strikes at civilians, its the act of a dedicated member of a terrorist organization. When israeli troops open fire on an ambulance killing the doctor and EMS guy, or launch rockets into densely populated civilian areas, it is the act of a state. There is no arguing that, and I think its a million times worse than when a lone person is responsible. Every citizen who voted for sharon should h…
