There are plenty of atheists (or let's say non-theist) churches and organizations trying to emulate churches. There are in fact plenty of books written on the topic. I read one recently but cannot recall the name or author, essentially

Is it though? I watched more than half of it. It is a bunch of satirical scenes full of memes copy n pasted together with almost nothing in the way of actual storytelling, which makes it less of a movie and more of a collection of youtube c

This tactic goes back, I am sure, millennia. Blackwater was a private company. They did briefly rebrand as Xe. A ridiculous name that sounds even more scary than blackwater. Academi may as well be a new organization.i don't consider it

By your logic anyone who does not support the United Nations having binding legal powers to force the entire world to allow gay marriage, and the means to enforce compliance, is anti freedom and anti gay. freedom is partly self determinatio

no, because they have a shit ton of artillery aimed at Seoul, tunnels under the dmz that can be packed with explosives, possibly nukes (which even if fizzlers could do a lot of damage)... and China. there are in the perfect situation to do

I do not dispute that this is very unfair (and thats putting it mildly).... ... but did the Washington Post bother finding out if this man was involved in criminal activity? It does not make this law any less unfair, but surely it makes a d

My experience has taught me the opposite. My grandfather and father were never taught to express feelings. Both were products of their time and circumstances. And there is nothing wrong with that. Both were successful in life despite the od

I lost my HOME to some greedy capitalist who bought up our entire street and forced me to sell. She then built hotels only the rich could afford. I ended up bankrupt. Please write to Human Rights Watch about my situation* * It happened duri

Surely this can just be achieved by simply increasing the length of congested roads to normalize travel times.

that essentially means simulating a populations wants and desires, and the things that drive those wants and desires.... so The Sims with an accounts ledger. if it could be done you can be sure it would not be modeled correctly.

Its not mentioned in Wikipedia but people still consume small amounts for cinnabar (ore of mercury) for medicinal purposes. Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, this is not advice, just my personal experience... It works amazingly well to soothe

I doubt it. I visited an operational naval submarine simulator recently. It was basically the electronic guts of the actual submarine, hooked up to sensor simulators and wired into a replica of the bridge (or whatever they call it on a sub)

3D Robotics only open source the flight controller hardware and software and ground control software. delivering a safe drone platform requires a lot more hardware (the aircraft itself, camera and radio gear) and firmware (camera, gimbal, s

how is it a different mindset? you don't see B&W through your viewfinder? you see the exact same thing the color-covert-later shooter is seeing. also, modern digital cameras with EVF allow you to see B&W through the viewfinder.

depth of field has nothing to do with sensor size, it's only related to focal length. the advantage of large/medium format is that longer focal lengths have a wider field of view than 35mm.

I dont have any issue with publishing the video. I have issue with them spinning it. And they did not just spin it, they edited it for effect. Pointing at other corrupt organizations and saying they also have done wrong that went unpunished

Can you imagine the conspiracy theories that Assange would be spewing on twitter if his emails were hacked and published. He would demonize the hackers, accuse the CIA, the NSA, MI5/6 etc. of colluding, and his friends at the Guardian

People frequently confuse price-fixing with monopolies. There is nothing illegal about having a monopoly. What is illegal is forming cartels and collusion to create restraint/constraint of trade [0] Patents are an example of government

Liberalism is already very intolerant of intolerance. Sadly this intolerance-of-intolerance is very narrowly focused and its goal, if we are all honest, is to change society not defend it. I could give examples of how we are letting our gua

Nonsense. Assange goes to great lengths to spin his political agenda. For example the "Collateral Murder" video. He did not publish raw source material, he published his narrative: http://www.collateralmurder.com/

Fortunately Kindle DRM is so trivial to remove. I wish it had none but at least I know my books are mine forever and my reading habits are not being actively tracked if I use free non-Amazon ebook software. Amazon seems to turn a blind eye

I assume this is so they can log cell phone/tablet IMEI numbers and/or MAC addresses at the airport while the foreigners queue to be finger printed and photographed? If they log the IMEI they can track most foreigners as they move
