OK, here's a thread where all the Steve Irwin bashers can post away to their hearts content. Please leave the threads titled "In Memory..." or "Tribute to..." alone. Not every single thread about Steve Irwin on FR has to include the incident of him holding his son in the croc enclosure, a mention of Darwin, and/or the word "Fool" Sometimes the old saying is true "If you can't say something nice about someone, don't say anything at all."

One look at you tells me all I need to know about you. I am so tired of liberals that think they are so brilliant. You are such a stupid jackass. You are so stupid you probably believe that the Bush administration orchestrated the attacks on 9/11. Every time you go on the internet, every time you make a bank transaction, or pay a bill, every time you try to email a congressman or senator they are getting so much information off of you. Of course it is all a conspiracy by the Bush administration. I have screwed around by...

I dont get it. I keep hearing from people that welfare is immoral and wasteful when it helps so many people who would die without it. I also hear some of them talking about giving money to charities such as the salvation army and the like. Everyone has a right to live, that means the right to freedom, a job, a car and a home. No one should be forced to live without any of those. I was homeless for a year before a went on welfare. They helped me get a job and a home and I dont need...

RUSH: There are Republicans planning to abandon George W. Bush in droves, particularly during this election year. Bush has had it, a 36%, 33% approval rating. The guy's an albatross around their neck. "We've got to get out of there! We don't want Bush doing anything but raising money for this," blah, blah, blah, blah. There's precedent for this. By the way, a couple of pollsters saying it's a bad move for the Republicans. You know, Republicans, I'll just give you some advice right now. All of you Republicans in Congress -- including you, Chuck Hagel and Olympia Snowe and...

Sexuality expert says animals can be homosexual The speaker elaborated on a concept she called ‘nature culture’ in her talk on animal sexuality The reasons and causes for homosexuality should no longer be viewed only in terms of the long-debated nature-versus-nurture argument, a women’s studies and sexuality expert told a small group in Gerlinger Lounge on campus Monday. Jennifer Terry, a program director and associate professor in Woman’s Studies at the University of California-Irvine, spoke to the 19-person audience on a new concept she refers to as “nature culture.” “Nature and nurture are not separate, but intertwined together,” she said....

Freepers and Lurkers, I'm not getting ready to be fitted for a tin foil hat but the presentation at this site makes you stop and say hmmmm... http://www.pentagonstrike.co.uk/flash.htm#Main

There is a horrifying story going around the world: In the northeast of China, thousands of prisoners are being held, so that they can be killed for their organs. The prisoners are practitioners of Falun Gong, the meditation-and-exercise system. The facility at which they are being held — called a "concentration camp" or a "death camp" — is at Sujiatun. Chinese human-rights activists believe that this name should cause the same shudders as Treblinka and the others. I cannot say whether this story is true; I can say that one ought to pay attention. Of course, "organ-harvesting" is a very...

MIRAN SHAH, Pakistan - Pakistani security forces backed by helicopter gunships killed at least 15 suspected Taliban sympathizers Friday in the latest flare-up of violence near the Afghan border, the Pakistani army said. One soldier also was killed. The top army spokesman described the continuing bloodshed in the North Waziristan tribal region as "disturbing" and said efforts to control it were costing the Pakistani military "heavily." "Eighty percent of the people in the area are sitting on the fence and watching for which side buckles, either the government or the militants, and they will go with the winner," Maj. Gen....

* Experts believe Beijing, seeing India as a strategic regional rival, will step up its influence in a bid to block the deal SEOUL: A US deal offering India help with its civilian nuclear programme even though it has built nuclear weapons could further stymie arms talks with North Korea and push China to step up its own atomic dealmaking in the region, experts say. US President George W Bush signed an accord last week in India that would open some of its atomic reactors to international inspections and provide it with US nuclear know-how and atomic fuel even though...

The Neocon Puppet Theater of History or Eyes Wide Shut in America "Defending this country is a no brainer yet Neoconservative Transnationalsim is not defending the Constitution" "In a dangerous mixture of Political Correctness, Multicultural doctrine and illegal immigration, we realize the concoction for undermining America.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is being asked to explain why the United States sided with Iran, Zimbabwe and other repressive regimes in excluding two gay rights groups from membership on a U.N. panel. 'I had hopes for better from you,' Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., said in a letter to Rice this week. Frank told Rice he was 'deeply troubled to learn that the U.S. Government, presumably at your direction, sided with some of the most undemocratic, anti-human rights regimes in the world' in voting against the two gay groups. Rice has not yet responded, Frank said in an interview....

Many people might think law enforcement is the strongest weapon in the war on drugs, but according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency, it's actually you. Because of numerous drug busts in Central City, residents, religious leaders, and police want help. Tonight, the DEA armed them with the best anti-drug weapon: education. Tonight's presentation at Our Lady Queen of Angles Activity Center educated all in attendance through a real-life representation of what drugs do to society and what people can do to prevent it. The speaker who is a Special Agent with the DEA says recognizing the warning signs are...

A Justice Department investigation into influence-peddling on Capitol Hill is focusing on a "first tier" of lawmakers and staffers, both Republicans and Democrats, say sources close to the probe that has netted guilty pleas from lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Law-enforcement authorities and others said the investigation's opening phase is scrutinizing Sens. Conrad Burns, Montana Republican; Byron L. Dorgan, North Dakota Democrat; and Minority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, along with Reps. J.D. Hayworth, Arizona Republican, and Bob Ney, Ohio Republican. A source working with the Justice Department on the investigation told The Washington Times that Abramoff was questioned during several interviews...

Bible references to Mary are few in the New Testament. To demonstrate how far removed traditions are from the Bible, we want to contrast the Bible teaching and the present-day traditional Catholic view of Mary. In so doing, we can better appreciate why Jesus rejected the very concept of traditionalism

I am a Christian and was raised in the Methodist Church. As an adult, I have chosen not to belong to any demonination but have attended services at the local Methodist, Presbyterian, Assembly of God and Catholic churches.<> Last evening, a friend of mine and I got into a theological discussion after reading several passages in the Bible, and we both raised questions which neither of us could answer.<>(1)In beleiving that the Bible is the Word of God (which I do), we are all descendents of Adam and Eve and Abraham. Abraham was Jewish, as was Jesus, both who believed...

Just wanted to share with some of you something that happened early this month. This requires some background. I have no liscense (Not a drunk, I just drive like aan idiot) and I get a ride 35 miles each way to work and back, 75% of the time by a married couple who have been friends of mine for several years. We were friends before they morphed into Michael Moore's stepchildren. The husband is more muted, certainly with the same belief structure but not as radical. The wife thinks it was wrong to attack Iraq...AND Afghanistan. The falling debris from...

I'm taking a course in Biblical Literature, so I’ll probably be posting a few questions in the next few weeks if you don’t mind. And I've found that the people here (in the religious section) have always been able to provide the most fascinating answers. So what is your opinion on the Gnostic Gospels? 2- Why do Catholics recognize 46 Old Testament books and Protestants only recognize 39?

Each sunday morning on WQXI here in Atlanta,there's a ultra-liberal on the radio by the name of Ike Newkirk. While he claims that he's open minded,he's not. If he does not agree with a caller's comments,he classifies them as a "Freeper"and hangs up on them. I'm wondering where are all of the local people on sundays between 6 and 9 Am? Perhaps we should let him know that there are really Freepers,present and accounted for. Anyway,you can hear him on the net at this site. http://www.790thezone.com/Multimedia/ListenLive.aspx Hope you'll show up.

Tom, honestly......you know that our government (both parties) is infested with (controled by) our enemies. Many (most, all) are agents from the Federal Reserve (CIA). That is why they had to get rid of Joe McCarthy, Hoover and recent other conservative patriots (Kennedy and recent others even the demise of the FBI which may still have patriots within it's ranks) in our Government. Usually it is by assasinations, freak plane crashes, impossible suicide's or some other ridiculous story posted by our complicit news media. The majority of American People are simply in the dark. The "minite men" will be trapped...
