Thanks for the kind words. Personally, I'll try and keep away from any God-based comments. After all, it's probably religious differences behind all this anyway...

I am sure that I am not mistaken if I say that most of the people of Spain are also with you and they accompanies to you in the feeling.
I wish that London does not have to lament so many victims as we have undergone 11M2004 in Madrid.
Hopefully this finishes soon.
P.D: Without I animate to enter controversies and from my deep respect the believers... God does not paint anything in this... The logical thing if it existed would be that it had avoided it.

Today, it is a horribly day for the everyone. It's not respect for human life. I am very sad over the death of this attack and NEVER NEVER come again.
Today, I am very down and don't read and post XDA information.
God Bless Great Britian.

This is a sad day for everyone-lets hope things like this never happen again.However impossible it may seem there must be a stop to it

Yeah, it's not very nice. I was just reading the BBC news website, and I had to close it. Seeing all that destruction, on streets and roads that I've walked and driven down hundreds of times. Horrid.
I hope nobody from this forum was involved.

So, whilst we're focussed on helping the worlds poor and legislating for environmental change, some selfish little bastards are killing people in the name of religion - a religion that DOESNT actually support killing people for political gain! I feel so sorry for those hurt in today's cowardly attack on innocent people, and sorry for the inevitable backlash by the less-informed, both against civil liberties and the followers of Islam.

God Bless!!!

This is insane...
I'm so sad and so sorry...

My thoughts go out to all those people hurt and for those that have lost loved ones. My Fiancee works in a London hospital and I'm just glad she is safe and well and I'm proud that she is doing everything she can to help people hurt or injured. I stongly believe in Karma, what these awful people have done will come back to get them in equal measure!

That's the one hope I hold on to, whenever something like this happens.

To the great people of Great Britain
Deep from my heart, I send you a cry of sympathy and anger. I am a Christian Lebanese but I am sure that many muslims of my country share this feeling. Although we have been struggling against terrorrism for years, we felt every drop of blood shed in London as it were ours. But we must never lose hope in this kind of war. Terror cannot win, it will not win.

God Bless the world..
My sympathies.
But remember.. More worse casualities does happen every hour in Iraq , Afganistan etc..
[/b]

I have to thank somebody up there (whoever it is) for moving my meeting in Angel London today at short notice - otherwise I would very likely be amongst the dead or injured.

what nationality is Al-Quaida?
Why cant they bomb the building that MS is holding Mobile 5 on the Blue angel

Today is another sad day to remember. I would like to send my deepest sympathy to those affect by this terrible and inhumane deed.

I know we are civilised but sometimes events in life make you feel uncivilised and allow anger to take control. This is one moment where I most definitely feel uncivilised and feel that these people live by a law that states "an ey for an eye". and we should reply in full.
I know this is not a political or religious forum but this cannot continue and retalition is the only thing, these animals will understand.

I am a Muslim and Religious and I say:

I feel sorry to british people who died by Terrorists who do not differentiate... I feel sorry for the innocent people who died in Iraq, Afganistan and all the world by terrorists (individuals and countries)
they kill innocent people from there own religion and countries such as Iraq and other countries. Where are they when Saddam was in power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
May Allah help all innocent people around the world and guide us to the right path.
I am trying to find a justification of what they are doing in Islam but I could not.

our praise must go to the emergency services who have done such a professional job. Without their swift actions the death count would be so much higher.

Friends.
I wish peace to the people in England, I wish peace to the perpetrators.
Throughout human history mans legacy is marked by a thick path of blood, millions have died for this cause or that, someone always can justify their actions.
I tell you now, one more war is not the answer, you can’t “fight” terrorism, just as you can’t “fight” the darkness, you can only bring in the light.
To retaliate is to sink to the level of the terrorist and to become one! Peace is the only possible answer to aggression, love to hate.
Mahatma Ghandi toppled the British colonials through peace. A world of peace, understanding and reconciliation will overwhelm the deepest darkness. Bigger guns will only deepen the darkness.
Brothers, I urge you, put aside your anger, be the bigger, higher being, forgive, send peace to your friends, your family and your enemy.
Peace my friends, peace.

Any JW's in here?

My parents are Jehovah's Wittinesses just curious if anyone else is over here?

I have a great deal of respect for them. Seems they are right about a lot of things over the years. I never got into the trappings of religion, and it seems they don't either, like killing each other in war.

Ha, yea of course I have my issues with them on certain things...I was just curious if any were over here.

nah. my parents left wen i was born, and my temptations to drive blood donor trucks to kingdom halls proved unfruitful.

Curious, what kind of issues? Frankly, I'd rather live in a neighborhood full of JW's than a neighborhood full of Muslims. It's just that I've never seen JW's cause any real problems for the world, and in law class, we learned that a huge number of freedoms we take for granted are because of Supreme Court rulings they took to the Supreme Court and won. For instance, say you're pissed at the government, and don't feel like saluting the flag one particular day. That used to get you in trouble, just like in Nazi Germany, but no longer. I think on balance, they've been a plus for society, even though annoying at times. I'd sure rather trust one of them with taking care of my house while I'm on vacation than a lot of my long-time "friends".

Here is an article from Wikipedia about the Supreme Court cases

Mainly theological issues. They have a very control based rule system in their religion which I don't like. Like any religion people at the top get away with practically anything while the lowly JW's are brow beat for just watching the wrong kind of movie.
However I think the whole ,"they are morally better" is true and false. They have the same problems like anyone else. Child molestation and covering it up was a major problem as well as petty theft amongst the dubs. However I agree I would prefer to have some in my neighborhood as they are generally good people.

With no offense intended towards your parents, I hate Jehovah's Witnesses purely because they don't go away. I've had a Jehovah's Witness at my door, as is typical, trying to preach to me about what's right, so I told him to go away and shut the door. Half an hour later he was still there, ringing my doorbell non stop. If you believe in something that's fine, but keep it to yourself. These words not intended to "you" in particular of course, but the day I start telling people how to live their lives and what to believe in is the day I start changing my ways for those people who tell me the same. Whether you're Muslim, Jewish, Christian, or anything in between, live your life and let other people live theirs.

Easy way to stop the JW's at your door:
1.Notify them that you do not want them ever coming back or you will call the police.
2.Tell them to write down your address and what you said on the paper they carry around marking houses.
3.Tell them you are going to call the Kingdom Hall and speak to an elder and inform them to be put on the "do not call" list. Yes many Kingdom Halls actually have these.
Problem solved!

One thing you can count on is that dubs will do everything in their power to either not go to court or to not look bad in the press.

Heheh, put on the Kingdom Hall's do not call list, that's awesome... I'd feel like I was playing World of Warcraft, next I'll notify them that I'm going to report to their guild leader that I saw them talking to a night elf mohawk from another guild. For those that missed the reference,

How Many of Us Smoke Marijuana?

Just want to get a feel for how many people here smoke, not going to get into the whole legal/moral/harmful/harmless debate, just want some numbers.
EDIT: Despite saying I wasn't going to debate the use of marijuana and I ONLY WANTED some numbers in the poll, look where this has gone... Oh my god marijuana's so terrible, let's get it banned everywhere.

no. never. ever.

I agree... But remember, it's a GATEWAY DRUG OMG YOU MIGHT GET HOOKED ON CRACK! Heh.
As for the "gateway drug" idea, I've been smoking pot for like 5 years now (20 years old) and refuse to touch anything else. It's safe, it makes me feel good, why do I need other drugs?
In fact, if you believe commercials, it makes you shoot your friend with your dad's shotgun because you don't know what you're doing, it also makes you jump out of a window and drown in a pool while babysitting. It's amazing how the worst thing I've done while high is pass out, wake up and eat a ton of food... I guess I'm the exception.

i smoke marijuana and hashish, and like it.
p.s.
i cannot cook roms for winmo devices... but i am really good in cooking cakes and cookies with the finest buds

Great pic mate! LOL
If in all world this can be a normal reality, I´m sure that consumism will drop and a lot of "Legal Buisness" will go down...
This plant has been used since the human is on this planet. Also if you know a little about the human body, there is a "Canabis receptor" in our brain...
So the problem is not the plant, is how we use it!
Legalize it!
You can see in Holland compared to any other country the consumism rate is very low (Of course does not include all the foreigners travelling there to try it)

a great truth

While I have nothing again using drugs of any kind, including alcohol (my personal favorite), I refuse to use the non-legal type for a simple reason: they would taste & smell like blood. In my country the drug gangs are heavily armed and often fight for control of the distribution points. The problem is that these reckless and ignorant bastards don't just kill themselves, they actually take out a lot of innocent people in the process. I can't conceive giving money, even one cent, to an industry that eventually will kill me at random or those I love. If drugs were free then...

That's a good point, dgaud007. Thankfully, where I'm from, the marijuana is grown by my friends, so I know it's ethical. They're technically criminals I suppose, but they're just regular guys with regular jobs, very nice.
(PS Technically, aren't we from the same country?)

Well you probably are gonna get much reply from us SINCE ITS ILLEGAL lol.... but hey obama is president now hahaha

Valid point there, but it seems to me to be an argument for legalization.
Or for home-grown!

The only ppl that want it legalized are the potheads - which would be the reason why they drive to have it legalized. It's more of a intellectual downgrade than a beneficiary.

Can't say I do, but won't say I never have

Really? Michigan just voted 63-37 to have medical marijuana legalized. Are you telling me 63% of Michigan are potheads? Massachusetts voted 65-35 to decriminalize marijuana, so now anything under an ounce is just a $100 fine. Is 65% of the state of Massachusetts potheads? The fact is, people see it's harmless and have no problem decriminalizing or legalizing it, whether they smoke it or not. Please don't bring your biased opinion here when you have no more experience with pot than what you see on commercials.

Haha oh, okay... What it does to people? What, exactly, is that? I'm not arguing the fact that you don't want to smoke it, I don't care if you do or not, but saying only potheads want it legalized is a statement that isn't even opinionated, it's just flat wrong unless you think more than 6 of 10 people in 2 different states are potheads.

[Q] Dont you hate it when...

dont you hate it when you go to meet your girl's family or go to a wedding of one of her family members only to find out that her cousins and sisters are so hot and you have to pretend not to stare?

nope, opportunity! Never turn it down ...

So there was this couple getting ready. The groom is at his house getting ready for the bug day, when his future wive's super hot sister comes in. She asks him if he wants to have sex with her, since technically he's still not married. He gets excited and runs down to his car to get a condom. Upon exiting the house, the bride's family is standing there, and the father congratulated him that he didn't take the bait, and that now he knows he loves his daughter. Moral of the story? Keep you condoms in the car.

I LOVE DOIN STUFF LIKE THAT

Mine is a little different, the one who's hot is my cousin.

that is an awesome post. bravo

Don't you hate it when you're driving and the person on the road in front of you doesn't follow proper turning protocol? Instead, they slam their breaks on 5 feet before the turn, THEN flip on the signal. As if, at that point the turn signal is a necessity and the turn couldn't be executed without the signal.
By the way, proper protocol is put signal on 15-20 meters (at least) before turning, THEN break and turn.

this wasnt to meant to be a rant thread. i was just talking about a single subject, when you meet a girls family and she has hot relatives. that is specifically why i wrote it. i didnt know it would turn into a rant thread. read my sig, it alludes to the fact that i am a noob. read my posts. i believe there are several of my posts saying i am sorry for posting in the wrong thread or place. it was my belief that you could post anything in the offtopic area. once again, i am sorry if i have posted in the wrong area and this has made you angry. i didnt think it would even matter if it was in the offtopic area anyway.
kind sir, could you please direct me to a place where people can post anything anytime and they dont have to search for an hour to do so?
this thread was not started as a rant thread. it was started to get opinions on dealing with / laugh at the fact that our girlfriends/fiances/wives have hot relatives. maybe it was the title of the post that lead people to believe it was a rant thread. maybe there should be some rules more clearly outlined on titles of threads.
did you notice there was a question icon on my thread? it was a question. not a rant. that is why i used a question mark. dont blame me for the actions of others. good day to you, sir.

This. It was the elipsis that threw me off, haha. But I wouldn't worry about any of that, this is off-topic, after all. If anything, you just gave david something to rant about in his rant thread *waves at david*
As far as hot relatives of your SO go, in my book that isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just don't get caught staring!

i wasnt too upset. i was just frustrated because i NEVER seem to post or start a thread in the correct place. thanks for making me feel better about it, djbacon06. and sorry if i sounded like an arse, davidrules778.

[Q] Was Darwin right?

Ever wonder; Was Darwin right?
fact or fiction Darwin's theory of Evolution ?
(gentle reminder - no flaming, no religion bashing, healthy discussion of pros or cons, strengths or weaknesses of Darwin's hypothesis. or jus say you agree or disagree with Darwin.)

i don't think Darwin was right. if he was, and we eveloved from monkeys, then... why are there still monkeys?

Are you trying to start a religious flamewar? Because that's what this will become.
I do so love when people think that they're experts without a single day of research on the subject.

you are kidding right?? not sure how much "research" one has to do on an "off-topic" forum? LMAO.
Why does it have to become a religious flamewar? you dont have to be religious to feel there are gaps in Darwin's hypothesis, do you?

As far as I know (which isn't much), the theory of evolution is fairly true. The reason there are still monkeys is because we didn't evolve from monkeys. Both humans and monkeys came from a common ancestor

If darwin was so smart then how come he's dead? Checkmate atheists.

if carl sagan was right in COSMOS https://www.youtube.com/embed/MvG-A...bile&vndclient=mv-google&vndel=watch&vnddnc=1 seems to infer evolution: we came from monkeys, and before that... fish. so wonder why do we still have fish? Surely they should have all evolved by now? .. or wonder why don't we see dolphins playing GameBoy?

again, as someone replied to you before me,
the theory of evolution doesn't say we came from "Monkeys" , and again it suggests a common ancestor.
that said, and with all (well deserved respect) to Carl Sagan , when you try to get scientific information you seek scientific resources not a documentary series no matter how good it is.
finally there's isn't a way to discuss Evolution specially from an opposing point of view without at least referring to religion, why? because it's the opposition ... a theory that can be tested and has scientific application Vs a hear-say kind of hmmm "logic!"

finally there's isn't a way to discuss Evolution specially from an opposing point of view without at least referring to religion, why? because it's the opposition ... a theory that can be tested and has scientific application Vs a hear-say kind of hmmm "logic!"

i am not religious actually, but do I see flaws in Darwin's hypothesis. you don't have to be religious to not agree with Darwin. You said we didn't come from monkeys but a common ancestor? so the common ancestor evolved from what? a monkey or pre-monkey? that's the point. and according to the "great" hypothesis of evolution, we all came from fish..."in the beginning". so still the question stands, why are there still fish? They should have all evolved by now. For me, Darwin's hypothesis is too simplistic...if you leave your wooden cupboard (carbon) in your room (assuming the room has NO life No bacteria no amoeba no nothing) , will it turn into a human in a millions of years? The point is people have blindly accepted Darwin's theory of Evolution from school days, without realizing, its just a hypothesis..

oh dear... no you don't have to , but then what's the bases to your criticism? the religious will argue either creation or (the not so) "intelligent design" , the non believer then will argue with...! my guess here is science, and there is no scientific or academic refutation for evolution to date...
Evolution is a Theory, and a theory doesn't equal hypothesis,it's fact.
the answer to you question actually exists all over the internet, and there's 2 ways to answer ,
1 the simple way which just scratches the surface of the issue and it's the answer given to kid in early school untill they're mature enough to learn the science behind it, and that answer is:
there is fish because fish is the current evolved state of a previous species, and before that state they were different and evolved until they reach the current state, and your question contains a huge generalization, which fish do you mean? which kind? there are hundreds (if not thousands) of fish species and each one is complete different to the other, it's not because they all have gills it means they're the same
2 the scientific (yet simple) explanation to not only you question but to all "criticism" towards evolution...and that can be easily found on and off the internet, and the following link is just an example (that covers almost all the bases)
talkorigins.org/origins/faqs-evolution.html
simonbigwav with all do respect, to have a discussion or an argument about something one needs to have at least a basic understanding of the subject matter , my friend you need to read about evolution and learn the facts from the myths
