In so many words, yeah. I have yet to see one of the ID threads that doesn't devolve into a debate about God, rather than the specific topic at hand. Today the topic was Jindal, and his tap dance routine around the question. However, there were very few comments about Jindal in particular, or how politicians ought to handle such questions, or what it means for McCain.

Rather, people continue to discuss the topics of "theory" and "Darwinism", cheap shots about climate change, or why Charles (allegedly) is picking on religious people.

I'm out of here.
Night all!

A society will remain as free or as enslaved as the conscious dispositions of individuals determine it shall be. Just as the roots of oppression are found in passivity, the foundations of our liberty reside in highly energized and focused minds that insist upon their independence. There are no shortcuts, no structures or doctrines that can be erected, no hallowed documents to be revered, to save us the effort of continually challenging those who would presume to exercise authority over our lives.

Tech Q:

I'm struggling with my new blog in ways I could not have imagined a month ago.

I still have 2,500 bookmarks. Despite trying for a few weeks, I have been unable to organize my bookmarks so that I can figure out which to delete. I cannot save the links that I find scattered throughout my bookmarks a second time with another name 'cause it pushes the numbers over the limit. (Am I making sense?)

Would it be a good idea to save them with a Word document (Vista) and then C/P them onto a new bookmark list in another account with my ISP?

Help?

Do you really want to stay attached to your bike while it's tumbling down the highway? (Ouch!)

OTOH, cars are designed with a safety compartment in mind, and you're better off staying in that compartment in a wreck. I recall being in one pre-airbag front end wreck where EVERY piece of sheet metal in the car, plus the brake and clutch pedals, were bent. I opened the door (adrenalin) and walked out. My ankles still pop when I wake up.

"Intelligent Design" is a man-made, non- scientific theory that is heavily promoted by the Discovery Institute. The name "Intelligent Design" is a marketing ploy to arouse the passion of people who believe that God is the intelligent designer who created the universe. The Intelligent Design Theory being promoted by the Discovery Institute is now being foisted upon our public school systems. The Discovery Institute would love to see their non- scientific theory be included in Science classrooms across America.

Evolutionists believe in evolution, or the process of change in the inherited traits of a population of organisms from one generation to the next. Evolution is based on the scientific method.

re: #105 realwest

I have to think about this one a bit.
...
Sounds like something is soaking up all of your computers processor time
if your mouse is not moving.

The first thing I'd try is make sure that you have a up to date browser.
Try using another browser if it is available to you and see if the same thing happens.

Ctrl-Alt-Delete and rebooting your system is pretty severe.
If you can see what is running at the time and what is taking up all of your processor time it would be a big help.

The worst case fix I know of is trying to do a repair install off of your install disks.

Sharmuta gave you a link at #89, that I suggest you read, and gman some additional information in #112, but to add my .02 - I see this as being whether or not we want our science classes watered down, and whether or not we want public school teachers teaching some version of religious belief that may or may not match your own.

Many of the comments you see use a lot of scientific jargon, but not being a scientist, I've found those to be confusing and not helpful to understanding the basic issue, which is, as Sharmuta said, " This is about an agenda to force religion into science classes."

I've also turned off the auto downloads from MS cause they never tell you wth they are downloading and I've heard some horror stories about Security or Special Pac 3 from MS - but I only turned off the auto updates last week; this has been going on, with more and more frequency in the last couple of days.
And I have Norton Internet Security and Anti-viruse (which for some reason doesn't like my having turned off MS Auto updates) and Spyware doctor and I've clean out my cache, dumped cookie and etc.

I hope you're getting something out of ruffling the feathers of the Lizard army over & over again about the exact same subject. I mean, I would think that you would realize by now that opinions on this are seldom, if ever, changed ~ especially on a blog page. You seem quite passionate about this issue, more so than on any other subject. What I think about all of this is as irrelevant as anyone else's fiery opinions on this subject. What I find most interesting is how worked up YOU get about it.

You okay?

More so than any other subject? Seven years of posting about radical Islam, and taking an enormous amount of abuse from all sides for it, but you think I'm most upset about the ID issue?

Yes, I'm fine. Thanks for your concern.

No. I've been on a long hunt for truth, and I've saved a lot of stuff. Also, I'm dealing with a lot of legal-research stuff for my job search.

Do a search on your hard drive for a file called bookmarks.
Thats the file that holds all of your bookmarks.

Re: Cursor sticking: Make sure windows defender isn't running; that said - some of the LGF (Ajax?) scripts freeze FireFox, even when you try to exit the site.

I've tried to stop the scan in Task Manager, but I get a "function not allowed" message when I try.

Your bookmarks should be here: if you are using XP and Firefox

Copy the file.
There should be a way to import / export the data.
If you mess up, you can resave the file you copied over the one in the directory.

re: #140 Charles (Also thx 4 reply to #130)

Unfortunately, Firefox's Javascript engine has serious bugs. (Apparently even version 3.)

It's not the LGF scripts' fault, and there's nothing I can do on my side to fix it. There are memory leaks in Firefox that they can't seem to debug.

This explains why I am often reduced to killing Firefox about once per day, after leaving sites that use a lot of scripts running. Google is a culprit, too, if I forget to use NoScript to kill it's scripts. But dang, LGF is such a handy tool for the RSS stuff on the sidebar and for the Links, that I forget to shut it off once in a while!

Hey stevieray! What the heck is Windows Defender? I mean, what does it do (supposedly)? Can't be what MS jokingly refers to as the Windows Firewall cause I've been able to disable it on this and all my prior versions of Windows.

Defender is an anti-spyware program that sort of embeds itself into your operating system instead of sitting on the side like a regular anti-spyware program like spybot. I don't think it is tied into your firewall, so shutting that down won't affect Defender.

You can alleviate the problem somewhat by adding more RAM to your computer - that way there's more memory to leak and things don't get screwed up so fast.

Just for the record, the latest versions of Safari are the most robust, bug-free browsers I've ever used. Not perfect, but I've had Safari running for weeks without crashing or hanging up.

Right now I have an LGF Spy window open -- and it's been running without any problems for 5+ days without stopping.

Welp...

It would appear as though Ian Jobling has missed his self-imposed deadline for proving that he is not what he himself says he is. Instead he's settled for whining about his penis size in a descriptively short post.

Larry Auster on the other hand continues to vomit forth voluminous amounts of verbiage intended to prove that he is, in fact, actually what he is.

Meanwhile the belatedly banned Q is reduced to claiming that all Lizards are "kids" even as he finds himself, a Ron Paul supporter, reduced to defending Israel's right to exist on a blog that is just two degrees of separation away from David Duke and Don Black.

Some very good people have left LGF - or rather don't bother posting here anymore, because of percieved "insults" to religion and to a belief in God, which is what they percieve the ID threads to be because there are some idjits who do take the ID threads as a place to attack religious beliefs (even though Charles has said - many times - that he isn't attacking a belief in God when he's attacking Intelligent Design or Creationists) .

Have you ever seen her? She is as beautiful as she is brave.

Richard Wrangham has a theory that cooking, i.e., the control of fire increased brain mass by 100% in the transition from Homo Habilis to Homo Erectus. His contrarians say that the transition was due to the choice of caloric game content to marrow and brain, as opposed to pure muscle. Both could be true, of course. And there is evidence for both. I mean chewing predators like jackals, etc., are given to the same caloric sources. Not so many jackals cook though.( Chef Hyena, anyone?) Cooking fires on the other hand can only be traced 500,000 years. Erectus is a bit older, by a M. And archeology becomes very iffy beyond 50K or so because of geology.

Don't misunderstand. When I say "can't let go" I'm not talking about their beliefs. I'm talking about taking the argument to a personal insulting level (especially to the point of insulting our host.) Not smart moves. As for deadwood, have you ever noticed how many people that hardly ever post show up on ID threads to stir things up. I suspect many are trolls that just salivate at the opportunity to create more havok.

re: #233 mikeymom I think it keeps coming up as a thread because Charles feels that some of us just don't understand the problems of teaching ID in schools as science as a problem.
And yes, some threads have changed some minds - look at all the great work Charles has done on the Euro-fascists and White Nationalists; while a lot of folks dug in their heels at the start (due, I suspect, to some feelings of loyalty to Pamela of Atlas Shrugs as well as some overall confusion about European politics) a LOT of folks out here came around to the no fascist in my foxhole point of view that Charles (and I) hold.

re: #235 Mars Needs Neocons Oh yeah, the ID threads do reveal the folks who have been lurkers or sockpuppets, just as did the threads on the Neo-Nazi's which Charles put up.
What I meant was that some of the comments in Charles' threads were made in a way which I could understand other LGFer's taking umbrage at - to put it mildly, and as an attack on their religious beliefs, especially if they are creationists.

re: #244 stevieray

Never been there.

I've been there occasionally, but truthfully, the chatroom doesn't work as smoothly as my IRC client on the other machine (I have this Windoze PC, with its own monitor, sitting right next to an old Commodore Amiga 1200, also with its own monitor), so I don't tend to go there that often. I guess that's because the Lizard Lounge is a java-based thing, running from inside the browser, so of course it's going to be a mite clunkier to work with than chatting on a dedicated, compiled binary.

Of course, IRC and this chatroom are like apples and oranges, but...

Say, Michigan. Mr Wolf and my daughter looked at Hope and Hillsdale last week on a college search trip. She liked both of them much better than Notre Dame, which was the main reason they ventured so far.
Any local reputation I should know about?

Since Michigan--like the place I live--is also directly above the center of the Earth, I am qualified to comment on this question, wolfie. You can get a good idea about local stories related to Hillsdale College by doing a Google search with this: hillsdale site:mlive.com

Since the college is only about an hour away from Ann Arbor, Toledo, and Battle Creek (Jackson is closer, but less "busy") there are lots of things to do nearby. I don't know much about the town of Hillsdale, Michigan, but it's good Midwestern country. Make sure your daughter likes frigid, windy winters. Also it gets very cold there. Especially when Al Gore is nearby. And of course, in the winter, it is cold. Ann Arbor is also directly above the center of the Earth, but I find myself there more often than most other places, so that's why Hillsdale seems familiar.

Let's see, what else...Did I remember to warn you about the cold weather? Right now, it is exactly 57 degrees (f) here, directly above the center of the Earth.

Its been stressful the past coupla days; got into an argument with a main boss (I can't ever keep my mouth shut and nod when someone's wrong AND treats everyone like shit). Now gotta be a good girl and sit quietly, grrrr

Huh, I'd have thought that if you banned someone from LGF, that they would also be banned from the Lounge. I've only been in the Lounge once and discovered that - as fast as Ajax is - the lounge just goes to quickly for me to have an intelligent discussion with anyone.
If someone's trashing you in the Lounge, I'd regard that as if they were trashing you out here and ban them, as opposed to shutting the Lounge down.
