I agree with #13.
THINGS ARE GETTING MUCH WORSE WITH MR ZERO AT THE HELM. . . . .

I have to take issue with #13.

Yes, technologically, we are so much better off than we used to be. Advances in science, medicine, communications, and a host of other things make this a fantastic time to be alive.

However...morally and spiritually, things are getting worse....MUCH worse. Deviant behaviors are running rampant and increasing. The majority of people are no longer outraged by corruption and malfeasance, governmental or otherwise. People are caught up in a mindset of “Well, that’s okay for you so I won’t say anything”. Only a very few seem to want to stand up for what is morally right anymore.

A certain Book already said this was going to be the case.

Pretty good, but one correction, about the smallpox blankets. They were real, used in New England-- by the British. Lord Jeffry Amherst, a British colonial governor and Indian fighter, who was fed up with Indian raiding parties and attacks on outlying farms, decided to take radical action. He was rewarded by having a college named after him.

This country was built on legal immigration, and the ones who made it through learned the language and assimilated.

Maybe one in ten Americans believes the earth is only a few thousand years old, and most of those people are old ladies and dirt-poor farmers. They’re not shutting down schools and canceling Cosmos. The other 90% of us are totally okay with the big bang theory. Even the pope supports it. We understand there’s evolution and an incredible universe. We just think God is the one who set the whole thing up.

There is a quantum field theory (QFT) developed by Burkhard Heim and extended by Heim and Walter Dröscher that does not involve a "Big Bang". What appears as the "inflated" universe after the big bang is really a phase transition as the quantum of space-time shrinks to the size that produces electron and positron masses that disintegrate into photons. (as in "Let there be light!") Heim's QFT also contains dimensions and interactions that explain how God created a complete plan for His Creation that also allows us free will to accept or reject it.

Here is a summary. Wikipedia article here. It even includes a Warp Drive for spacecraft!

I agree with #12, within the next 2 billion years the Earth will be engulfed by the red giant the Sun becomes. Let the ants deal with it.

Zimmerman was a statistical anomaly...

Speaking of myths as fact...

[PieterCasparzen]

More promotion of the Church of secular humanism, brought to you by New World Order(tm).

[Politicalkiddo]

Not to mention the fact that these idiots believe we live in a democracy.

We weren’t built on immigration, we were were built by the generations who created the nation, there was very little immigration from 1770 to 1830, as we were creating the nation and the American identity.

[Gene Eric]

Excellent (based on a cursory read.)

Gavin's a funny guy.

You can see him on Red Eye.

George Zimmerman wasn't Jewish, though.

And if diversity isn't "our strength" could it be that things really are getting worse?
