I agree completely
If the child goes to a public school, I don't think parents should be able to opt out of sex ed for them. They can't opt out of math, science, english or history. If the parent isn't happy about the education the child is receiving there are alternatives to public schools...
The mighty Wiki has a Good list of Star Wars Books
If I had never read any of them, I would start at the top and work my way down.
If you would like to read about the characters in the original trilogy, start at the "Han Solo Trilogy"
If you want to read about the prequels, I'd start at 'Cloak...
Darth Maul is a non-human. He is of the Zabr'ak species.
The movies are such a narrow view of the Star Wars universe that they hardly do it justice. To really understand it you must read the books. Most of them are well written and fairly exciting to read.
My view of the profecy and bringing...
I point you to a wonderful passage in Acts 5: 1-11, it can be read Here
If the god of the bible didn't kill them, only two other possibilities present themselves to me. I'm sure they didn't die of guilt, so they were either killed by the disciple or his lackies, Or they had some bad cabbage and...
Thanks, and welcome to the forums.
To be honest though I don't believe in the Big Bang, I feel it is the best scientific theory currently available to explain the beginning of the our current universe. My personal, and completely non-scientific, opinion is that the universe recycles itself...
The theory created nothing. The big bang didn't actually create anything, it converted some of the existing energy at the time into matter. I don't have the best grasp on the whole thing, since I have never really studied it beyond just the surface of it.
Sound waves don't carry in the vacuum...
Well, in 2000, if 538 people in Florida (the entire state) that didn't vote had voted for Al Gore, we would have had a different president. So really while 1 vote may not seem important, it could be.
So I feel that if you don't vote you shouldn't complain, because by not voting you choose not...
You know, I believe that the Federal/State government funds should not be used to pay attorney fees. I don't think that my tax dollars should be used to pay for violations of the constitution by our leaders.
I believe, instead, that the attorney/court fees should be paid by the members of...
My mistake, I was refering to the time of the writing of the Kuran, but my comment still works for the time period you were refering to. The Torah had already been written by that time, as well as many other religious text
Switch the entire world to what I describe as Utopian Socialism. Basically this is a system where you still work, but there is no money, and everything you need to live comfortably is available to you. Without the need for wealth, many of the worlds problems will be solved.
The mandatory weed...
Yep, for people to claim otherwise is to insult their own ancestor's intelligence and ability to perceive the world around them. If they weren't intelligent or perceptive enough to know what a miscarriage meant and looked like, since I'm sure it was a very common occurence, then why are the...

she would not make a good senator. just take a look at some of the things she has done while in previous offices.

My father is a hardlined Southern Baptist and my mom goes to church with him, but she strikes me as more along the lines of Nazerine. My brother is a diest. My sister goes to Baptist church sometimes, but i think she is starting to question things.
As you can see, I am an Athiest. Well, more...
The ACLU is right in there attempt to protect the right to freedom of speech and to peaceably assemble. However, that is not necessarily what the people of Westburo Baptist Church are doing.
If I'm not mistaken, there are laws against slanderous speach, and speach thats is inciting violence...
