Though, in some ways I feel that pointing out that she's the first gay MP actually both detracts from her political carreer and is a disservice to homosexual people. I mean, if we just stopped making such a big deal over whatever thing someone is or looks like and focus on what they do in their choosen profession we'd have a much better world. The fact that she's homosexual should be so far removed from the whole issue that no one would even consider writing an article about it, that's the kind of world I want to live in.
Pussies! -14F is nothing, where I come from we regularly have temperatures below -22F, even as far as -40F at times. Add windchill to that and -14F is a bloody cakewalk, almost like shorts weather.
Not to rain on anyone's parade but I think that site makes a piss poor job of making that poster style. I mean, it was likely made by reducing the colors of a photo and then hand tracing over the image. No kind of automated process will emulate that, it's all about hard work (regardless if it's plagiarized or not).
The throw was hard? Oh come on, have you never ever seen a living cat before? Notice how they jump up and down from things all the bloody time without harm? This was like a jump from a moderately high table at most. Cats are built to be able to take that.
You people seriously need to untangle your bunched up panties and get over your self righteous selves.
You people are just silly. Oh noes, the cat was a bit stressed and maybe a bit dizzy, my god, poor little kitty. Let's call PETA, make billboards, sit around a fire and sing songs about animal liberty while we continue stuffing our faces with meat, using medicine that has killed countless animals during their development and continue using their hides to adorn our own.
"well, i suppose sneaking into your house and pretending to set you on fire while you sleep is just “added stress”, right?"
No, that's called breaking and entering and is illegal and punishable by law.
I mean, honestly, calling this animal cruelty is taking away all value the phrase has when describing real animal cruelty.
glassmusic, I've been an avid outdoorsman since I was a wee kid, and I have the outmost respect for nature, I'd last much longer than the vast majority. Sorry to burst your bubble.
How is this animal cruelty? Sure, maybe the cat got a little stressed but compare that to what it would experience out in the wilderness where Bob knows what could kill it at every turn.
Not really zero gravity, more like falling inside a hollow cylinder with wings :P
And that, by far, is the most ignorant and insultive thing that has been said in this discussion thus far.
Being curious and inquisitive does not mean that you are not an atheist. I suggest that you actually look up what being an atheist is about. It's about not believing, or completely rejecting, the idea of one or many dieties. How is my inquisitive mind, my drive to find things out, proof that I am not an atheist?
"For all those non-believers…explain how humans were made…why are we here?…What is the purpose of life?How was the world was formed?…explain DNA?…that no two snowflakes are the same???"
If you didn't have your head so far up your own ass you would actually realize that science has theories for all of those things, and they all have more credibility than some wondrous being created it all some four thousand years ago.
There's actually nothing that suggests that no two snowflakes are the same. It's a saying, not a fact. If you consider how many snowflakes fall each year in the world and the average count of atoms making up each snow flake then unavioidably two snowflakes will look the same, it's just that we haven't found two that does. It's all simple math and physics.
The purpose of life does not have anything to do with religion. The purpose is getting born, reproducing and dieing. Anything else is just filler.
allen, if God has the power to save every terminally ill child on the planet why doesn't he? If you buy into the idea that God exists then you have to answer that question as well. I think it's quite obvious that he's a fickle, mean and even evil god if that's the case.
Now, God doesn't really exist so it's really a moot point, but either way.
No, you're right, it's not stupid to think the angels cured this girl, it's ignorant.
Like someone said, if angels really cured this girl then that proves that god is evil. Why wouldn't he save every little child that is terminally ill? There are probably (guesstimating here) a hundred children in similar situation that dies for every one that survives a similar situation. Do they not deserve to live as much, or even more, than this girl?
A) The comment was made in jest. B) No, I probably couldn't say that stuff to her face considering I'd be busy laughing my ass off to even get a single word out my mouth.
Terminal people coming off life support and actually improving is not anything really uncommon. Chalking it up to the influence of some deity is just an insult to the intelligence of humanity, regardless of how limited that is. Occams razor all the way!

Lars, it's important to note that you're an idiot regardless of coming to this site.
And that, by far, is the most ignorant and insultive thing that has been said in this discussion thus far.

As said, ignorant.
