    Maybe TWeb should use an engine that has a history capability...?
    The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

            I was JUST thinking about him! I was cleaning up my library of infamous Tweb quotes, and I had a whole folder full of Mickiel Rantings.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              Yeah, it reminds me of the time he thought lava was caused by fire* being inside rocks. It was a rather strange rant he went on then.

              *Not heat, fire. He went to great lengths to separate the two.

                Lava IS caused by fire inside rocks...


                Do you seriously think it's caused by fire OUTSIDE rocks?

                • I thought everyone was familiar with the role of the fire slug in the creation of lava, but guess not.

                    OK - new concept. Have to admit I have never heard of this one.

                    You are officially a weird person.



                    Did I mention I like weird people...?

                            And claiming that a certain guideline has moral authority because it seems to work out OK for most people who try it shows your complete ignorance of the concept of moral obligation. Sure, the "Golden Rule" works, but why shouldn't atheists follow the other "Golden Rule of Nature" that says "Always do what is in one's own best interest" and "Whatever one can get away with doing is permissible"? If Jesus is not divine then those "Golden Rules" have just as much moral authority as the more traditional version.
                            Not so. Mutual reciprocity evolved as an instinctive means of restraining individual selfishness and building more cooperative groups. For any social species such as ours, the benefits of being part of a supportive group greatly outweigh the benefits of individualism.
                            “He felt that his whole life was a kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.” - Douglas Adams.
