Taiwan exists in a grey area. For all intents and purposes, it operates as a completely sovereign nation. They have their own elections, own military, own healthcare, own industries (the semi conductor capital of the world), passports that are universally accepted around the world etc...

Shoot Em Up was so obviously filmed in Toronto, highly entertaining but mindless to say the least.

But when you know said filler is incorrect, why entertain the idea in the first place? It's not like the concept of god or any of the stories from any of the religions can be presented as a serious alternative to any theory that science is willing to entertain. They're not in the same...

Why must we need to fill in such a gap? If something is not known or understood we should just plug in some implausible explanation? And then when we do discover it... we forgo the filler explanation for the real one? Is this your logic? I'm scratching my head over how ridiculous it seems...

This comment speaks volumes for your mind set. It's ok for religious groups to teach our kids ridiculous impossibilities and beg for money every chance they get... Yet if atheists were to emerge as a prominent group it would be a cold day in hell? It's a good thing I am just as likely to be...

I agree, but just like Mississauga and Oakville next door, there's some real treasures to be found south of the QEW. North of the highway is just dreadful. You'll also find a noticeable population difference between the two areas, one dominated by wasps and the other... not so much.

andyschest, welcome and nice photo. Maybe it's a typical tourist vantage point, but that doesn't make that view any less spectacular. FCP looks unusually white for some reason... perhaps it just got back from the dentist.

SP!RE, There are only two options because the poll is about where life came from. Either it was created, or it wasn't. The poll is not about religion being true, it's about how you think life originated. If you think there was some sort of divine intervention, at all on any level then...

Completely random? What's completely random? Evolution? Life evolves and adapts with a very specific purpose. Eye balls just didn't pop into our heads for no reason. Humans developed exactly as our counterparts in nature did using the same processes. Maybe I got your message wrong, but no...

Coruscanti Cognoscente, Many atheists make their case known because they believe that religion is to the detriment of man-kind. There's a common belief that teaching people to be good to please god and thus be rewarded is corruption at its best. What's wrong with being good because you want...

urbanboom, With all fairness it was just people doing as you did and sharing their opinions on the subject matter. Whether it's 1 vs 100 or the other way around should not be relevant. As long as there's no personal attacks and all posts adhere to the terms of service than what's wrong with...

Trailers also give you that buffer. I don't mind commercials before the scheduled showtime (although i'd prefer trivia or just a blank screen) but after that scheduled time, show some trailers, then the feature thank you.

Urbanboom, thanks for your response :) I enjoy such conversations, I know they can be time consuming so please don't feel obliged to respond. I am in the fortunate/unfortunate position of having a lot of time on my hands as of late lol. I fully agree with you that science will never have...

urbanboom, I realized when I created the poll that there would be responses such as yours, I was expecting a whole lot more of them. I appreciate your response, it threw me off how often you kept referring to evolution as a created process. As I stated in a previous post these two ideas simply...

They ought to be. Creationism can't be explained by any logical means at all. Evolution can not only be proven but the fossil record is immensely helpful for piecing together the history of the planet itself. How can one accept that evolution which progresses based on the need to survive be a...

When people don't know something, they tend to make it up. After all the earth was once flat. If you were a poor slave wouldn't the idea of your captors going to hell and you going to heaven help you make it through the day? Wouldn't that be a real easy story to buy into considering your...

No, I am looking for any proof, anything at all - until then I won't even open my mind to the possibility of such a being. A "miracle" that is witnessed by the masses might lead me to believe there's something at play, unfortunately such a thing has never happened. Heck even if a miracle were...

So just because an entire group does it then it's not cherry-picking? Will those religious groups continue to adjust their beliefs so they can remain consistent with science up until there's nothing left of the religion? That's nonsense. The Church had to change it's views to allow for a...

I'd love to have an Ultra slim 13 inch laptop as a compromise. The problem being that the ULV's just can't hold up to a modern dual-core cpu and that there's no optical drive and limited ports. I strongly looked at trading in my notebook for an MSI X340 (same dimensions as the Mac Air pretty...

Perhaps you could divide them further into atheists and agnostics then. Either way both groups have chosen not to participate in a god-believing religion and combined are a significant portion of the population. I personally classify myself as atheist and not agnostic. I feel that religion...
