no longer fair
why dont we see news that is ought to be told to the public
why does media only cover stories on hollywood stars or some rich person
for instance Paris Hilton getting sentenced to jail
is that even be considered as a prime time news in the mainstream electronic media or the Alec Baldwin Fiasco
i think these stories shouldnt have gone past the entertainment news or inside edition

I thought Ann Coulter stood for everything you guys are supposed to hate. However, most of you display the same things she talks about in some of her books. For example, SOME liberals believe "The absolute conviction that there is one set of rules for you, and another, completely different set of rules for everyone else.” SOME of you prove this time and time again by acting like nothing applies to you. Thoughts?

If Jesus actually existed and did all the miraculous things he is said to have done then surely many people would have written about it during and immediately following Jesus' life. Writing was common at the time, yet an extensive search by many scholars over centuries has turned up nothing. The very few references to Jesus that allegedly date back to his lifetime are clearly forgeries, forged no doubt hundreds of years later by people who realized this embarrassing lack of evidence needed to be rectified (see Joseph Wheless Forgery in Christianity).

Even if we ignore the evidence that they are forgeries, the very small number of these questionably authentic writings that allegedly date back to his alleged lifetime are still far too few. There should be a huge wealth of writing about this person that was written during his lifetime.

Jesus allegedly had crowds of thousands follow him around. Once he fed 5000 people with only a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish (Mark 6:39-44). Later he repeated the miracle again feeding a crowd of 4000 people (Mark 8:1-9). Jesus cured sick people miraculously and raised people from the dead. He changed water into wine at a wedding reception. He exorcised demons. He commanded 2000 pigs to rush into a lake and drown themselves, inciting the people of the nearby town and countryside, who asked him to leave. (No mention is made of what happened to the poor pig hearder whose livelihood must have been ruined. Mark 5:1-20).

Wherever Jesus went a crowd gathered and wondered in amazement who this person was. Jesus was a very controversial person. Finally he got himself into so much trouble that huge crowds of Jews demanded his execution. There was a controversial trial followed by his public execution. Three days later he is seen walking around alive again. And no one wrote any of this down when it allegedly happened?

Even the earliest full account of Jesus in the Bible, the Gospel of Mark, is admitted by the Catholic Church to date to at least A.D. 70, a full 40 years after Jesus' alleged death and resurrection. (Mark makes reference to an event that happened around A.D. 70, so it could not have been written any earlier. Modern scholars now date the Gospels as being written near A.D. 170, a full 140 years after the alleged event, since no one makes any reference to a Gospel of Mark, or any other Gospel, prior to this time.)

It's inconceivable that no one at the time bothered to write down anything about the most important person in the whole of human history. Writing was common back then. People wrote letters. Historians wrote commentaries on current events. The Romans wrote and kept legal documents about trials. It's considered one of the best documented periods of history. Yet no one wrote anything about this Jesus; no one painted a portrait of this Jesus; no one drew a sketch of this Jesus; no one cast a coin depicting this Jesus; no one made a statue of this Jesus; no one makes any reference whatsoever to this Jesus. The historical evidence is overwhelming—the Jesus of the Bible never existed.

I am 32 and working, wife is 50 and not working. Wife got sick although we did not know she was sick. I started relationship to another woman, 33 and decided to divorce my wife. Then wife got very sad, talked suicide, and it stopped my plans. I was in love with other woman and I was still taking care of wife. Then everybody got upset and both women told me to stop the mess and pick only one of them. In the meantime, wife got cured of her sickness but I love her less than before, I just care for her. Wife still claims she will die if I leave her. I am not sure what I want anymore. What to do in such a situation?

Why would anybody care?
If you do seriously care about celebrities, please give me a good reason why (if there is one).

I prefer to occupy my time with constants, equations, and values, such as the Planck constant. Not only do I find them interesting, but they have profound implications throughout the entire universe.

Essentially: "screw evidence.. such and such is impossible, therefore such and such"

Basically declaring, without any rhyme or reason, a certain thing to be impossible, and then ranting.

What kind of arguement is this?
