The sun, the moon and the stars were not created until day 4, after life was created on earth?

Those that consider the bible infallible should take some time to think here..
Come on.. I know you can do it!!

When asking my insurance about a second opinion, I have many times been told that the clerk at the end of the phone was giving me that second opinion.
Nothing at all new here. Insurance companies decide on the care we receive, not only what they will pay for.

yes STOPPED. The preferred tests are much "cheaper" and unless the animal is in an advanced age(very unusual in our beef industry) will invariably test negative. This does not mean the animal is safe, just the test will not come positive.

... And I am the one that blindly trusts the government?

Ahhhh... But how many in reality being as you deliberately did not look?

I thought you knew about random samples and statistics. If you don't how can you argue global warming?

The United states stopped testing for BSE. And with LFTB(pink slime) we can eventually far surpass the cases that UK has.

In the SF Bay Area we have pockets of wilderness surrounded by densely populated areas. Some of the larger wild areas still have a few big cats and once a decade or so, a Mountain Lion eats a jogger or a bicyclist. I suppose that to a kitty cat, the fast moving people look like deer. The solution, I believe, is not to exercise. In fact, I am already following my own advice right now by parking my ample behind here in front of this screen. Yep... in this setting I don't look like a deer at all!!! I feel very, very safe.

I consider this nature balancing itself. There were far too many joggers!

North Korea has declared the "Cease Fire" ended. This is a declaration of war.
The world is showing great restraint by not making pre-emptive strikes.

If he does release a rain of missiles, it will prove he is either crazy or stupid. I can see no positive outcome for North Korea in it.

Someone needs to make him a nice hot mug of calmthehelldown. Only question is will it be microwaved?

The Raccoon was going along between cable TV cable, and traditional phone cable.
They are pretty sturdy, squirrels and rats run along them all the time. If they bite into them they will more than likely get an irritating electric shock, enough to make them angry. Or they might learn not to do that.

That looked like a lot of work for that Raccoon. It must have had a great reward awaiting it.

To be honest up until at least the 1980's there is a good chance the United States would have wanted to put military in North Korea. Since then, there is really no point. There is no need. We have plenty of a military presence, and
while we still have differences with China, we also have common interests.

May they continue to grow.

Like Afghanistan, he gets the first shot.

And like Afghanistan, it is a really BAD idea to take it.

We wish success to the Chinese people, and all people. Korea would be better unified and not under western control. While governments will always argue and people will try to take advantage, we salute honest efforts to better the lives of everyone.

我们希望成功的中国人，所有的人。韩国将得到更好的统一，而不是受到西方的控制。虽然政府始终认为，人们会尝试利用，我们赞扬诚实的努力，更好地每个人的生活。

Even if the changes are all positive, change is stressful. May it go smoothly and permit your energies to be better used.

Women are every bit as strong as we need to be. The question that screams through my mind unanswered is, just how strong do we need to be?
