To Kat,
Actually Kat, 6 million Jews were not killed. It was 6 million human beings claiming to be Jews that were killed. I know this is way far over your head, but you really are not a Jew, you are a human being, self-claiming the title of a Jew.

To say one is a Jew, Christian or a Muslim, etc. is in no way proof or verification that one is, it's all selfclaimed titles by pure self-indulged ignorance.

There is no such thing as a christain, jew, muslim, etc.

There are only human beings claiming to be christain, jew, muslim.

I do not claim to be a an Atheist, I am a rational thinking human being only, I was born this way, I will always be this way.

I do not wish to start an argument frankly because I do not have the time to spend debating religion on a small website such as this, but my name is Stan and I am studying world religions at Yale and I have been reading posts (I am subscribed) posted on this site for some time now as just a reference for extra study of atheistic view points and arguments. It has come to my avid attention that while many of your arguments against certain religions and beliefs in God are well founded and make a lot of sense, I have found that many of you don't truly understand what these specific religions and sacred texts say about themselves as a whole. An objective observation of these religions would indeed only bring about hatred for those of whom claim that they are doing the "Will of Allah" or doing things "in the name of Christ" or those of whom go under the title of Buddist, Jew, Christian, Muslim and ex. because people themselves can take their own religion for their own self purposes. For instance, the Bible can indeed say that there is no God. Many times in the book of Proverbs (in the Bible) say things such as the following: "God does not exist...." and continues to say "only to the fool." Anybody can claim to understand the Bible, or Quran, the Torah and have not even read them through themselves. They just believe what everybody else (from that belief system) says on these topics. Many don't think for themselves and read into their own beliefs. I am frankly somewhat unsettled by both sides of the argument. Atheists taking what religious people say and arguing against it while what the religious people say things that are not very founded in their sacred texts. I really have a hard time believing a Christian, Jew, Muslim ex. who have not read through all of their sacred books and I do not believe any atheist who has not read through these books to received for themselves first hand what these say as a collective whole. Therefore the point of this is to those whom apply themselves to a religion, I would please encourage you to actually read the full of your religion before you go promoting it, and to the atheist or secular-humanist, read or learn into the whole of mutiple religions, and belief systems before you go trying to disprove the existance of the supernatural or the divine.

Re: FOX ATTACKS! The Environment

Stan — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 22:09:35 -0000

Global warming may or may not caused by people. No one can prove it one way or another. If it's true, it's time to find a solution. The problem is simple: overpopulation. The solution is complicated: how to educate people about the benefits of birth control, how to deal with religious fanatics who want to eliminate it.
We have 7 billion people turning irreplaceable resources into garbage. How long can this be sustained? Instead of changing our lifestyle by eliminating all the fun, we should make fewer babies, gradually reducing the population to a reasonable level.
If we cannot do it, we're doomed.

Re: FOX ATTACKS! The Environment

Stan — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:07:08 -0000

Steve,

Why don't you tell us your idea of overpopulation. How many billions of people can the Earth supply with space and food and essential goods? 10 billion? 100? a trillion?
What kind of quality of life we're looking at? Are we going to live like rats or robots?
When your God allegedly told Noah: "multiply, and replenish the earth" it was after the Flood, with only a boatful of creatures. Maybe God would say something different today, but no one is listening.
I'd rather see a happy and free world than a crowded one.

Re: FOX ATTACKS! The Environment

Stan — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 21:03:32 -0000

Here's how it goes. If Fox is lying and misleading the public, that makes Fox an ideal network to advertise on. Why? Because if you're a company selling cheap Chinese-made crap, like most American companies do these days, you need to spend some money on manipulating consumers.
Now if Fox is successful in manipulating their viewers to believe everything they are shown and told, it also applies to commercials.
I don't say that Fox is any better or worse than the rest of the US media. It's all bad.
We make great cartoons, a few decent movies, but when it comes to our news media, we have nothing to be proud of. Most Americans are kept comfortably numb, unaware of the real problems, not to mention having any clue of what's happening in the rest of the world. Our economy depends on uneducated consumers, just like our politicians depend on uneducated voters.
We are a bunch of fat and dumb sheep, scared of all the wrong things, and keep asking our good shepherd, the government to lock us up, to make us feel safe.
It's working.

Re: 80’s Music Wasn’t All Bad | RogiLife.Com

Stan — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 02:50:01 -0000

The 80s were a good time. I prefer the music of the early 80s, though.

For rock, I thought the 80s were horrible. All that glam, hair, dudes dressed as ladies, etc.

That list leaned heavily towards Simple Minds and Tears for Fears. I like music from both bands, but I have always liked TfF earlier work much better, especially when they have Mel Collins on saxophone. I found out about Simple Minds by watching the movie Breakfast Club.

I remember the early 80s like it was yesterday.

Kajagoogoo, The Police, Toni Basil, Foreigner, Styx, Aldo Nova, Blue Oyster Cult, John Cougar Mellencamp, Rush, Triumph, the list goes onâ€¦

Solid Gold, Soul Train, The Tube, etcâ€¦ all those shows devoted to the music of the moment.

Re: What are some good places to visit for a honeymoon in Seattle?

Stan — Mon, 01 Jan 2007 19:11:51 -0000

To me, the most romantic place in Washington State is the San Juan Islands. The ferry ride is spectacular and the islands are secluded, have lots of wild life and interesting shops. The ferry for two plus a car will be $50, but it's worth it.

There's a scenic drive I like to go on and July is a great time to take it. From Seattle take 520 to I405 and go north to Woodinville. From Woodinville take 522 east towards Monroe. On the way, you’ll pass through the small, but old little town called Maltby - home of the best breakfast in Washington State (Maltby Cafe - see attached link). When you get to Monroe, take Highway 2 east over Steven's Pass. After Skykomish, but before Steven's Pass is a nice little hiking trail, Deception Falls, (1 mile, maybe a little more) that has some great views of a mountain stream. It's a nice place to stretch your legs and breathe some mountain air. About 1/2 an hour later 30 miles, is Lake Wenatchee on highway 207. It's a good place to go camping, but I like to go past the lake and take the scenic route on Beaver Valley Rd (highway 209) through the town of Plain. This route will eventually take you back to highway 2 at Leavenworth. Leavenworth is a Bavarian themed mountain town with bratwurst, beer, onion domes, lederhosen and German shops. July is too early for this area's specialty, apples, but there will be a great supply of fresh cherries and other fruit at roadside stands starting at Leavenworth. After Leavenworth, continue another 25 miles to Wenatchee and take 97 north along the portion of the Columbia River called Lake Entiat. 45 miles north of Wenatchee is Lake Chelan. Lake Chelan is great resort area to camp, fish, go water skiing, etc. It's a very long lake with the opposite end of the lake inaccessible except by boat (there is a ferry available). 20 miles north of Chelan, and the start of my favorite part of the drive is highway 153 along the Methow River. 35 miles later you'll be on the North Cascades Pass, highway 20 and 10 miles after that will be the Western themed town of Winthrop. After Winthrop there is 132 miles of spectacular mountain scenery and lakes to I5 at Burlington. If you continue west on highway 20 you will go to Anacortes (where the San Juan ferry is) and Deception Pass which a bridge from the mainland to Whidbey Island. There is a nice campground at Deception Pass as well. Continuing south on 20 you can visit the interesting island communities of Coupeville and Freeland. The highway ends at Clinton where a short ferry ride ($11) will take you to Mukilteo and the mainland.

Obviously, you can't do all of this in one day. If you want to see some of Washington State this trip has many of the highlights - you can easily pare it down to what you fit into the time allowed. If you are going to stay somewhere Leavenworth and Chelan are the nicest places to stay along the way.

Re: Comcast Cares and Why Your Business Should Too – The Socialization of Service

Stan — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:29:00 -0000

Lots of good, key points in your post.
Seems to me the way forward for PR/Marcom hinges on this one sentence: "With marcom and customer service attempting to embrace and participate in conversations, many experts are vocally contemplating whether or not conversations are scalable"

In my view, PR is best suited to deal with social media interactions. It works well for one-to-one relationships, or one-to-few, but it is terrible at handling one-to-many interactions. Digg-likes are a good, geeky way of concentrating comments and feedback through a funnel, but experience shows customers rapidly get frustrated to be 'bundled' together.

Twitter does seem to be a good way to entertain personal interactions, but talk about scalability...

What's left? Good ol' CRM it seems, badly in need of an upgrade though. Btw, can anyone recommend a few good blogs about crm? I may need to read up on this.

It's a good way to build goodwill with farmers because when hunting season starts, they'll always let you go after deer and moose on their land.

By the way, 98 percent of manufacturing companies provide health care benefits to their workers. Since GRod has taken over, we have lost 55,000 manufacturing jobs that average $64,0000 per year with benefits.

Grod is a disaster.

This was well leaked by Axelrod, he's good. And yes the photo means nothing, but given the Clinton's history of lies, shady deals and scandals, they're unable to take the high road in anything. Hillary will end up being the nominee, but in the end, they've made a former president look like a fool and that was enough for them.

- John Bambenek - Friday, Sep 4, 09 @ 3:26 pm:

The problem with people like John Bambenek, who on Friday injected Reps. Rangel and Rush into a dialogue about Cook County officials, is that HE will forever refuse to cleanly acknowledge racism without minimizing it by bringing something/somebody else into the equation.

By the way, the word is "commenting", you illiterate bastard.

I wonder if he realizes how stupid he's making himself look. I doubt it. I rarely post comments, but felt I had to just to make sure this fool knows how stupid he looks. Anyway, keep up the great work Greg. Love the blog.

@ Anon

Cleveland scored one run tonight. The only problem the Yankees had with their pitching tonight was that Pettitte was missing his spots. How is that Posada's fault?

Ben Sheets has some of the best stuff in the game. Forget Lowe and forget Burnett, sign Sheets and go from there.

The Yankees need to bolster their rotation, if that means overpaying for guys, than that's what they're going to have to do.

Re: Blogs Without Comments are NOT (really) Blogs

I like that idea, no linking to anyone who doesn't have comments. If we just stopped linking to the elite, they wouldn't be the elite for very long would they?

Blaming it on the "company" isn't the same as taking personal responsibility.

Thanks for the great info Bloke. My copy of Windows has been acting a little weird lately so I tried your method and it's running much better now.

"a-lists were created as a means to drown out the rest of the blogosphere so that only a few can make most of the money. It is an ego trip for a few geeks and pundits who were neglected and abused in high school. This is their idea of payback."

That's the best description I've ever heard. Love it!
