Oh...and the ones that are starving mothers? Well, they really don't starve, do they, they can get food stamps and section 8 and medicaid and head start and free day care and WIC and LIHEAP grants and PELL grants and and and...the list goes on. But what about HDTVs, PS3s, iPods, etc.? Their bodies might

Reply to THIS COUNTRY IS A DISASTER! in Politics JoeUser Forums

Don't you all see? The rapists and murderers and terrorists just want to be loved! If we show them love and not try to punish them for raping and murdering people, then the world will be a utopia! Isn't it funny though how extreme Islamic fascism will get the government on your tail, but Christianity won't? It shows the hypocrisy of America. After all, I agree that it's somewhat bad for some psychopathic terrorist to suicide bomb a preschool in the

That's a great point. If people let the kid be adequately punished as a kid, he might not end up in prison as an adult. Of course, the means justify the ends to people who'd rather have a child be let free and end up in prison later than be punished as a child (discipline? GASP! child abuse!) so that they might end up a decent citizen later in life, so I doubt they care.

Reply to Microsoft gets an Urge in iTunes JoeUser Forums

Why would Apple sue Microsoft? I really doubt this is going to get people to stop buying iPods. After all, if having to install iTunes didn't stop them, then why should this? This is just another Napster.

Reply to Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when..... in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I agree with this about 95%. However, it's still worth pointing out that there are things in the Christian scriptures which could be used to give rise to Phelp's brand of nonsense. It's still worth thinking about why Jains, Link to take one example, do not go in for suicide bombings or picketing military funerals, nor are they ev

Great article! It gives me a new appreciation for developers who charge for upgrades. I personally would rather pay for an upgrade than have a favorite program die. Although it does irritate me when developers don't have an "upgrade" discount.

I used to be a Stardock fan, but now that I'm entirely a Mac user, I come to see the opinions of everybody else on certain subjects. I don't visit as much simply 'cause I don't want to spend all my time debating politics, computers, and religion as I used to.

Reply to Not Buying "Da Vinci Code" Hype in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I won't read the Da Vinci Code or watch the movie either, and it's not because it offends me as a Christian either. After all, it reminds me of Final Fantasy Tactics with its whole Christian conspiracy theme, but FFT has a special place in my heart. Heck, the final boss is JESUS (at least the character who represents him in the game)! No, I won't read it because I heard that it has a very lame and anti-climactic ending and the chapters are really short

I always find it amazing that all Catholics are concerned with defending anything and everything Catholic. Its always the same discussion. Being Athiest and very comfortably so, I don't feel the need to defend myself or my beliefs (or lack there of) to anyone. And if anyone should have to defend themselves you would think it woul

Time for someone to go, imho. This is a bit beyond the pale, and there have been warnings before, if I recall. This is my first time here after at least a year of hiatus, and Marvin is acting the same exact way as I remember him to be! I'm honestly surprised he's still here!

BTW....when did Judas supposedly write this gospel? Did he write it or did another? If he hung himself as scripture says...when did he write this? I have not heard of any credible historian who supports the theory that Judas wrote the gospel. Then again, people want to believe he wrote it because they don't like Christianity as it is. In fact, I am pos

Reply to Apple is not Hardware in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

Last time I checked, Apple made Macs. Granted, not all components of Macs are developed by Apple, but Dell doesn't develop every single part of their computers either. Now, one could argue that Apple develops Macs to sell OS X, but I'll remain unconvinced until I see something that supports such a view. The Apple Store itself advertises its hardware more prominently than its software. If success is defined by beating Microsoft, then Apple will neve

Thats a rather narrow sighted comment to make, considering how things do change in the computer industry on a regular basis. I would likely put money on the fact that both Apple and Microsoft will move more stock because of this, I already know of a number people that are running both MacOSX and WinXP pro on the same computer.</

Apple Should Repeat IBM's History in Macintosh JoeUser Forums

As I waited for Amazon to finally ship my MacBook Pro, I got addicted to Apple blogs. Well, it seems that some people still have the insane idea that Apple should do what IBM did with the PC and allow Mac clones to be made. Although they do sell software, Apple is mainly a hardware company. That's why they are called Apple Computer , not Apple Software. Would Mac clones help Apple sell more Macs? Did IBM clones help IBM sell more IBM PCs? Where is IBM now in the PC market? 1s

If they were sincerely repentant, which they must be, because just saying "Whoops! My bad, Jesus!" won't cut it, then it wouldn't bother me as much as it would've before. Granted, salvation isn't a license to sin (and I'm not somebody who believes in OSAS (once saved always saved), but people can be forgiven of anything. Paul was killing Christians, and he was forgiven and even became a leader of many of them. Are to be unforgiving of people who we

It's not wrong to be interested in such stuff. Personally, I'm interested in reading those books supposedly written by the apostles, but actually weren't (i.e. Gospel of Thomas, Apocalypse of Peter, etc.). Just remember that these people aren't as intelligent as they claim to be. After all, the argument for Gospel of Thomas being older than the other gospels is that it's simply a list of quotes, and that means it's older, because after all, it's imposs

That is absolutely depressing. I hope that man is imprisoned for the rest of his life. If he isn't, then I'll hate the judicial system more than I already do with its insistence that rapists and child molestors should be freed so that they can hurt others again.

My Two Cents on Windows on Macs in Macintosh JoeUser Forums

As all of you already know, Apple recently released software that allows Intel Macs to run Windows XP. It excited me, until I realized that I have no need to run it. Except for games, all the software I want is already on my Mac, and it's probably good that it doesn't have a decent selection of games anyway. Lord knows I don't have the time or money to fund such a hobby! Still, it was exciting news. It was also a bit frightening. We always hear how OS/2's tragic fall was running Windows softw
