DataWolf, don't confuse the uneducated with facts. If they try to think, their heads will collapse.

How sad that the far right is incapable of intelligent, considered thought and comment, so always must resort to political whining and slander. What does your silly post have to do with the topic being discussed? True Republicans are embarrassed by the vacuous ravings of the radical right, and Democrats are amused and ...more

The original scriptures stated that in the 6th time period of Earth, God created Atham and Eva (the words for man and woman, multiple spellings.) It does not state that He created only 2 humans. It is an allegory. But subsequent translations have twisted the text around to support some tale of miraculous creation of 2 ...more

Uh, have you ever tried reading any scientific books or journals? That's what fossils are: transitional forms. Each newer one displays more features of modern man. Every continent (yes, even Antartica) has examples of evolving/ evolved species. Just because you aren't educated enough to understand a situation doesn't m...more

Ants are good for the lawn. They aerate it even better than worms, help clear debris, and add organic matter to the soil. As long as they are not getting into the house, or attacking you (such as fire ants.) I recently tried sprinkling Equal around an ant nest in my yard (see above) and had good results.

And every vehicle gets horrid fuel mileage accelerating from a stop sign or red light. Look at a graqh of fuel efficiency and you wi...more

Landshark, no I am not a police officer. But I have quite a few as relatives and friends. And, yes, there are often quotas issued when a town needs more money. If you have never been assigned a quota, you must work in one of the few decent jurisdictions. Or maybe you're one of the guys assigned to sit along the road an...more

It's not how fast you drive; it's how you drive fast! Government studies have proven repeatedly that the safest speed to drive is whatever speed the majority of traffic is going. They have shown that 85% of drivers choose the same speed, the one that is comfortable for the conditions, and it is the other 15% driving ov...more
