With the scale reduced...

I've been searching furiously through all the information I can get on this (I'm chokin' on my own excitement here!!!), but thus far I haven't been able to make much sense of this whole "Social Policies" idea. It's like civics, but it's formed 'like a tree'? So you can 'plan your...

I told you I couldn't go cold turkey :lol: As some of you might be aware, I am taking a sejour from CFC-OT (effective as soon as I press "Submit New Post"...I promise!) but I couldn't leave without one last thread on the subject I love to post on more than anything: whacko new stories that...

link I get the sense that there is more to this story that is in the article above, but assuming that we have the facts... Was the firing justifiable? Can a scientist working with evolutionary concepts do his/her job properly if he/she doesn't actually believe in them?

...according to one Israeli Civil Rights group.... link Ok, let's save outselves a couple pages of 'discussion' and and just say that we know that a popular opinion will be "IF THE PALLIES STOPPED FIRING ROCKETS AT THEM THEY WOULDN'T BE SO RACIST!". Not that it isn't valid, I just...

....Saudi Australia justice...? link I'm trying hard not to pre-judge this one on the information given, but it's tough! Are there any Aussies out there with a little more insight on this case?

... /sigh/ and here we go again.... link Ugh, even if the site of teh homes is technically not part of the peace agreement, I think this shows a lot of bad faith in negoations on Israel's part. Comments? Questions?

ok, not really, but still an odd story... link Today, the market chooses rotting corpses ;)

link It's an ugly situation, but my support falls behind Latimer. I heard on the radio last night that there was a legal loophole he could exploit so that he doesn't have to wait another 2 years to get day parole, so I really hope that his lawyers come through...

...in other news, Jesus is has been asked to appear on Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader... link :confused: I'm not even sure what to say here, other than that I really do not understand some aspects of Indian and Hindu culture. I mean, does the judge actually expect these guys...

:xmas: Season's greetings CFC :xmas: As part of my penance for Pimpin' Santa Thread, I decided to start a new one looking at the alleged "War on Christmas" phenomenon. If you're not familiar with the issue, some media commentators over the last couple of years have running stories on how...

heard the latest on this story this morning, and just had to post it...! What a bizarre story. Reminds me of a case here in Canada a few years ago when a british man woke up in a hospital after being mugged, claiming that he had no idea who he was. As the story untangled, it became apparent...
