    RAW, SmackDown! and ECW thoughts *spoilers obviously*

    Just saw the video of cena and the Nexus (first time watched WWE in a year) and was confused how all the top guys were on the same side? Is Jericho, Cena, Edge, Sheamus and Morrison all faces now?

    TDF10: Stage 16 Bagneres-de-Luchon - Pau 199.5 km

    I don't get it, what's happened with Cadel this year? i thought he'd bounced back with world champion and all? Now he can't even get over a bloody hill. Surely a sore elbow (which he finished a mountain stage in 3rd with) can't stop him that much.

    Religion Karma

    Obviously some people will treat others nice if they treated them nice etc. But this is the whole "what goes around comes around" idea. Karma, as in every good deed is measured and that amount of "good deediness" is returned to you, and likewise with bad deeds, is rubbish with no evidence...

    Science/Environment Synthetic life - It's alive!

    Yeah, if they were designed, then it would be a bloody incompetent designer. I mean the Vagus never in a giraffe's neck?

    Science/Environment Synthetic life - It's alive!

    God? No, it's much more likely that my faith is true, in the Flying Spaghetti Monster... 1. That claim that you can't prove or disprove is not an argument, it's null and void, you can scratch that. 2. A system without a designer? By system do you mean man-made systems or the systems that...

    Science/Environment Synthetic life - It's alive!

    Err, it's impossible to prove that something DOES NOT exist, one can only supply evidence that something DOES exist. So thus far, until there is evidence that a god or gods or a specific scriptural theist god exist, I (and any rational person) will withhold belief in a god until such...

    Science/Environment Synthetic life - It's alive!

    This is an amazing leap forward, with awesome possibilities. Who know's how this could one day greatly enhance our own lives. We could create new species, or even more advanced versions of humans with better spines, proper eyes, with a slower aging rate. I am a dreamer, lest conservative...

    Russell is still America's favourite.

    FTA-TV Survivor 20 - All-Stars (Heroes vs Villains?) *SPOILERS*

    Hmmm although Russell is smart, I question why he played the idol, unless he seriously thought both Sandra and Candice were with the heroes, now he's gonna struggle to keep Candice on side, though it wont matter, since the villains still have power.

    Science/Environment Aliens exist - Hawking

    There have been a fair few other planets which share "earth-like traits" that have been found. Obviously we cannot yet study the stars further out than out small corner of the galaxy, but with billions of stars in out galaxy, plus billions of other galaxies, I'd say the the probability strongly...

    Weight training questions

    Yeah training the big muscles helps testosterone ie: increases hypertrophy. (Though I've been slack o n my legs lately.) The best way to get protein into you is to eat meat, and lots of it consistently. If you're concerned about money, don't worry about powder. How old are you? If...

    FTA-TV Survivor Heroes v Villains (Channel Nine, No Spoilers)

    However Parvity might be so clever as to know to keep the ones that are less likely to get votes from the jury and put herself in the position where she is likely to get more jury votes up against someone like russ and JT.

    Volcanic Ash- European Airspace Shutdown

    Travel insurance does not cover acts of nature that stop flights. Airlines tend to cover the costs voluntarily. I was hoping to fly this week (haven;t booked, was waitking for my UK visa to arrive which it did today), so hopefully when I go to book tomorrow I should get a seat at the end of...

    So I am off to the UK...

    FFS, this disruption is effecting my London arrangements too, as well as work, now I'm stuck here with no job. Just go around the bloody ash-cloud I say.

    Movie Moments in movies that don't make any sense.

    I think it adds to the realism. They don't fill the movie wit a bunch of shoot-em-up Rambo moments. Instead this scene shows how the German saw the cowering guy and pitied him and decided his life is not worth taking and walked by smugly. At the end the yank decided to stand up for himself...

    Education - The good, the bad and the downright sinister.

    Re: Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI Regardless of curriculum, I still tell my students "Don't believe a word I or anyone says, all that matters is the evidence and what can be made of it. Don't let me tell you what you should do with your education, you use it however you...

    Education - The good, the bad and the downright sinister.

    Re: Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI No I didn't say that religion should be cencored, I think it's fine to teach them ALL fro m a historical perspective, not simply just one. Not to teach one and them make kids recite a lord prayer of THAT particular religion as though...

    Religion Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI

    I'll clear it up. Obviously I'm not saying "pop the baby out and let it live how it wants". There is much nurturing that is needed. Humans (especially babies) have a few basic physical (and emotional) needs. (I could pull out Maslow here if I wanted to show off my old degree.) So with that...

    Religion Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI

    That's correct, hence why I just spent a paragraph emphasising that parents should give theirs kids freedom of thought, be taught how to think, not what to think, to think for themselves. I don't know of many people who tel their kids not to believe in a god. But there are many examples of...

    Religion Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI

    Yeah I'd agree with that on varying degrees. Obviously each case needs to be taken on it's own merits. So we can't assume the torture of mental indoctrination is the same for everyone, nor the torture of physical child abuse, and I'm sure Richard would agree in private. I'm a school...

    In the movies 2012. They board the arks in China, minutes after launching they slowly make contact with Mt. Everest... EDIT: Actually Tibet is pretty much China.

    Religion Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI

    Dawkins: the most Quote-mined person in the world. Obviously I cannot make comment on that little sentence of his, I would need to know the whole context. However, if I can make an assumption, knowing Dawkins (which I don't, but hey) I'd assume that a comment like that is another one of his...

    I think this series was recorded while the previous series aired so they didn't get a chance to watch him.

    Religion Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI

    What Dawkins says is that parents who tell their kids what to think rather than how to think is child abuse. For example: telling your kids to think that black people are bad (like the white supremesis parents), or telling your kids to follow one religion and to label them as part of that...

    Religion Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI

    No he doesn't, he backs all claims up with publically verifiable evidence. Provide me with an example please. (Besides it's rather school-yard behaviour to say "if he can do it I can do it")

    Movie Movies that deserve sequels

    Dark Knight - I'm sure someone can step up for Heath Star Wars (now hear me out)- They need 3 more episodes between episode 3 and 4, a link up between the originals and the new showing what the hel happened in this time (something must have ie: Luke growing up, Darth kicking ass... well...
