When rumours surfaced that Google tries to build a browser, someone at the New York Times did their homework and did a whois on gbrowser.com - and lo, and behold, it was registered by Google. One day you'll be looking at your 'Gpod' uploading through 'gtooth' to 'gbrowser' sitting at your 'gapple' and eventually the US Government will own the lot (mor

People who point at their wrist while asking for the time. I know where my watch is buddy, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the bathroom is? People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually. When people say "It

Perhaps my choice of example was a tad inflammatory. The link that I supplied refers to a site where this guy goes on about how Link the new testament is a racist document against Jew's and making a link between Nazism and the bible,illustrating how you can get the bible to say anything you want if you present it the right way (in my view.) <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgCol

So to clarify my position here I am not questioning the current motivation of the teachings of the bible I am questioning the ORIGINAL MOTIVATION of all bible type books that are taught to the general populations of the world. After all the bible is nothing more than a collection of historical document(s) that report the recollections,letters,poems etc of a few people that were living in that time. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center

also a point that I would like to make clear is that I am saying what I think not quoting any thing I am influenced mostly by the teachings from the word of god and that is open to interpretation. Is the word of god the bible or is it actually your personal relationship with god

What is religion? What is the motivation behind it? Whilst I have no cause to question the teachings of the bible/Koran it is a good book and to further examine that “The good is NOT the book the good is IN the book”. I have had cause to question the motivation behind a majority of its interpreted teachings. And where this motivation originates from? I

I did not see the 60 minutes episode that you refer to how ever I have to agree with your statment that "Our leaders should be looking for positive ways of rebuilding the social fabric in those communities, and ensuring that children are given an education that will teach them the skills and knowledge they need for a brighter future." Australia is facing difficult times and education or at the very least the oppotunity for education shoul

How many times have you heard yourself say something to your children only to think later that that’s what my parents used to say? History has a funny way of repeating itself over and over again! This was apparent to me the other day when I caught myself saying “It’s where you left it” in response to “Dad where’s my book”, and I thought of how I used to
