Ask DarkDragon y'all. I'm sure he can find out what's up.
So...
Occasionally very old posts are pruned. Mystery solved.

Oh, that's why. Hm...
Anyways, I just saw Speed Racer. I swear, the first race seemed like Mario Kart turned into a movie. Regardless, it was amazing!
That's because it is Mario Kart turned into a movie.
I wanna see Iron Man.. ):

I think this should be illegal... it's just wrong.
Obligatory:
did it take both of those men in the back to produce all those children? after about 5 you couldn't pay me to fuck anymore.

If we start limiting the amount of kids we can have, we'll end up just like China. It should be perfectly legal to have as many kids as you want.

Why is it wrong? It's not causing you any harm or changing your life.
Why does everything have to turn into a debate?
Well, let's examine both sides of that issue. On the one hand, a debate often encourages thinking and a greater breadth of knowledge. On the other, it can lead to bad feelings when opinions don't conincide.
Opinions? Thoughts?
(😉 )
I thinkd debates are good. They lead to intense thought, and are fun. They're like arguments, but they're called something else. And, the most fun ones are religious. Especially when you have people like Belderan around (or NoeL from Pure ZC). You know no matter what you do, they'll just make fun of your religion, while you completly undermine their theories. It's kind of fun.

Wow, I didn't realize the Scientific Method had been "undermined" at some point. By all means, share this revelation with us.

First of all, evolution cannot be proved with the Scientif Method. The Scientif Method requires observation, and we cannot obsorve evolution or the big bang.
Second, evolution is in disagreement with the second lar of therodynamics, which states that everything becomes disordered as time passes on. Evoltion says things get more advanced, which disagrees with the law.
Third, well, I'm too tired now. We can continue this debate tomorrow.
How does the Second Law of Thermodynamics apply to evolution? As far as I can tell it applies to (and I may be going out on a limb here) thermodynamics. Trying to use the properties of thermodynamics to argue against evolution is like trying to use the laws of gravity to convince somebody that if I move my cursor to the top of my monitor, it should fall to the bottom.
Take the evolution vs. religion debate elsewhere. It's bad enough it covers 100% of amazon.com's forums, as well as at least 50% of the threads everywhere else.
I am trying to come up with a new custom title to go with my avatar. Any suggestions?

You don't know anything about how evolution works, so you're opinion is null at best.
It is a known fact to people who actually read books that thermodynamics has NOTHING to do with evolution.
Second, there is no proof for the theory of gravity either. Both the theory of evolution and the theory of gravity have massive amounts of empirical scientific evidence.
It's not worth arguing about though because you don't know enough about science, the scientific method, or probably anything, to make it worth anyone's while to make up for your appalling lack of education.
the first thing to pop into my head is "say hello to my little friend", but since it's not Tony Montana with a Tommy gun, that phrase sucks nuts.
Though the avatar is just creepy enough to be purely awesome.

Sure thing, lemme pull several hundred dollars out of my ass to feed and house and clothe the extra humans.

It's called "ThisiswhyPZChatesAGN:They(PZCers)areallabunchofpussies"itis
Besides, imo whining about having your beliefs attacked means you're insecure about them i.e. you have doubt. Because, why should you give a crap about what some random internet asshole says about your beliefs? If you give said crap you fear being 'converted' (for lack of a better term).

1) It's called FOSSILS (and the like)
2) I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume that physics has nothing to do with evolution (they actually don't but sarcasm is hard ;_😉. Things don't get more advanced from evolution, they just change. Whether or not the change is beneficial is another story.
In fairness to russadwan, he's only 13. Granted, I understood the concept of evolution and the scientific method by age 13, but let's face it, his education is far from complete.
And russadwan, let's be clear - you don't have to directly observe something to know what happened. I mean, by that logic, nobody should be convicted of murder unless there were witnesses to the actual murder.
Might as well move this part of the thread to Think Tank, I don't come here for intelligence.
Okay, I'll change the subject! Question:
Do I absolutely need a wireless router to connect my Wii to Wi-Fi, or is there a cheaper way to go? (For those of you who don't know, I got the Wii Tuesday, May 6.)
Well, I swear I got my Official Nintendo (TM) Wi-Fi USB adapter from Amazon for 20 bucks, but now apparently even used ones are 50, so:shrug:
Pineconn, you might be able too mooch off of someone else's connection. You can't use the phone line for a Wii?

This is just what I was talking about you doing. 😊 But yes, I am just 13, so please excuse any ignorance on my behalf. However, I do not think my age should impede my ability to back uo my beliefs very much. Let's continue this debate in the Think Tank forum.

Actually, no. There is a USB device you can by from Nintendo that you plug into a computer, and it sends the internet connection to DS systems and Wiis.

I didn't prune any posts, but maybe War Lord did. The MPQ forum was also disabled recently; I didn't think the posts in there were being counted in the first place, since it was a subforum of Forum Games, but who knows.

0_o Pregnant for 11 years of her life?!? holy crap, that's just plain scary.
Don't you think she'd just put her foot down and say "NO, I'm sick of going through labor!" at this point?!?
After a certain point, it becomes a "throwing a hotdog down a hallway" situation going both ways.

No. She could just want a lot of kids. For all you know, labor could be a routine process to her.
Does anyone here play baseball? I was practicing some on Saturday and I've been tired ever since then. I was ready to sleep at 8 except that the physics quiz I had called me back to the computer.
