  1. I'm looking for a bible, now heres the kicker, I want a bible with full thickness pages, I don't care how big it is and price is not a real interest, I know there are a lot people here who believe in Christianity and Might know, and for your information, a King James bible is the type I want, I don't want a good news bible, and It needs both old and new testaments. I'm also looking for a Qu'ran, English Translation obv. because I don't speak arabic, and likewise I want the thicker pages.It's not that I don't see the point in the thin pages that fall apart, I would rather pay more for better Quality.Thanks in advance.Edit: Study Bibles are good, I just want one I can use for personal use but also religious studies, in needs to be appropriate for ample sticky notes. Hardback is good rather than spending out on Leather or Goatskin etc.
  2. @Baniboy: There is no proven link between Flu Vaccines and brain disorders; and any of the disorders that could in theory be caused such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome is less dangerous than the disease and highly treatable, and this is a possible side affect of any kind of vaccine because it is your bodies auto-immune response, Thymerisal was believed to cause Autism in Children such that it was taken out but then the Scientist realised that mothers don't know best when it comes to disease, did some research and boom! no it doesn't, there is no link between the two. Just people creating conspiracies as usual.
  3. Being a spurs fan, I need arsenal to kindly lose, and badly at that, In fact I want the score to be 8-0 to chelsea but there we are. I think chelsea look the better team so lets say 3-1 to chelsea.
  4. What debate? take the Vaccine or Don't; the latter means you risk contracting H1N1 and then spreading it on to your family, friends, colleagues who won't appreciate it. Taking the Vaccine means you get injected with a needle and thats about it. It's no different from a seasonal flu virus and if you aren't going to take it then don't it is your choice but there is no real reason not to, people will always say "IT WILL GIVE YOU AIDS" or something similar but it doesn't make it true, but I'm sure they know best with there years of Training: oh wait thats the scientist, my mistake. Take the damn jab, if something bad happens as a result at least you get gloat that I was wrong.
  5. I don't like either of them, what do you plan to use them to do, if it's for business then the Compaq will do, but I still think you can do better for your money than those, just my thoughts.
  6. The likelyhood is that there is nothing Wrong, you've probably stopped growing by now so don't expect any changes there; as for your weight lots of people find it near to impossible to put on weight without really starting to eat fattening food, and it's impossible for them to double in weight, resent research has shown that your body does its best to keep you at the weight you are when you hit puberty usually, and it will burn fat to keep you at that weight you are. See your doctor if your concerned but as I said I highly doubt there's anything wrong with you.
  7. The origional psp doesn't have dual analogs and your UMD's are available for free download at sony's expense on PS store. but its not been upgraded at all it's pathetic, I can carve a better browser out of a rock than the PSP's I'm getting a touch.
  8. Unless a flood of sexists have taken the express train to the forums I can't say Ive noticed underlying sexist themes on the forum but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. The truth is Girls or boys; guys or gals; Women or men aren't naturally unintelligent or intelligent. Girls aren't innately stupid, ditto for men; stupid people are stupid. Generalisations are always bad trick is understanding when their not aimed at you, if I say a blonde joke it isn't aimed at all blondes just the stereotypes.
  9. I don't usually have a lot of money, I have an annoying habit of spending it all; the time however, has come around where I am into some money and It so happens I need something to listen to music, play video and keep me entertained, a few people may be shouting Iphone or Ipod touch and I am considering it but there was one thing I was considering the new psp go. The PSP go sounded great, sony had a chance to do something great with the psp but they didn't they failed spectacularly to deliver something I would consider buying and heres why. Where's my second analog stick What is the one major downfall of the psp for playing games, if you don't have a problem with one analog stick I don't know why, it is a portable gaming machine in the 21st century, 1 analog sticks games these days are hardly worth my time and a second analog stick would allow sooo much more. Maybe they wont because its not a new PSP but a condensed version of the old one. Hasn't Changed a bit I am all for the removal of the UMD slot and the fact they included built in flash memory but why the hell have they kept the years old hardware, have you tried the browser it's pathetic, the psp needs a hardware upgrade but they havn't bothered, it is terrible how poor it can be, in need the ability to actually browse the internet, watch flash video and all of that, I am severely dissapointed. The psp go sounded great but it isn't innovation it's reinventing the wheel, and I'm not going to buy something that is essentially a 5 year old product. Sony has lost a sale.
  10. I have a Sony Vaio FW21L but with an upgraded Hard drive and Ram, Running Windows Vista, though I will soon upgrade to Windows 7. It cost me just over ?500 in January of this year.
  11. It's a name, its irrelivent, so as they don't don't look like mice is about as good a reason to change the name as changing your name from Ginger because you died your hair brown.
  12. I had a quick ponder Well it wouldn't be exempt if it proclaimed to be more than just a word to label someone who "does not believe in God", atheism is not a faith, it's not a way of life, it says nothing of anything, it doesn't assume to be any more than a description. the burden of proof cannot lie with the one disagree with you, it relies with the one making the claim, otherwise if that wern't true, all sorts of claims could be said to be true because you can't disprove them, Russel's teapot arguements etc. Since there is no proof that God exists, you could say the bible, but the only thing the bible is evidence is for is for what people thought, and what people use to think is not evidence for anything because people used to think all kinds of things which are known to be untrue. which leads nicely on to Less broadly on scientific evidence Scientific evidence is emperical based on observations, and must usually be recreatable, otherwise it could have been misrepresented. There are other things that count as evidence. Well rather than speak broadly, in the case of God, or more specific to Christianity, not enough evidence, doesn't come into it because of Christianities complete lack of evidence, however, evidence must fulfil the burden of proof before you can say there is sufficient evidence, as you approach that mark however, it can be said that this is likely. Conscious can be said to mean "aware". Humans are said to be conscious as we are aware of ourselves and our surroundings, it allows for rational thought. as for thought, strictly speaking thought is an electric impulse in the brain or something to that effect, based on an observation that we have made.
  13. Yeah, I got mine recently, I love it! it took me ages, but I made it to the 500 mark, I was stuck on 400 for such a long time, and this post showed me where it was so thanks for that.
  14. There is a program called "wordpress MU" stands for multi user, and that is the same program as wordpress.com uses, with that not only could you manage multiple blogs, more than that you could set it up to make each new one under a subdomain. but you can do it normally, you are obviously doing something wrong, screenshot what you were doing , maybe the install screen. we can take a look. Otherwise, manual installs are easy, and take 10 minites it might be worth not depending on softalicious.
  15. I don't use it anyway however, I disagree that microsoft should not be allowed to bundle them together, it's their product what they do with it is there problem, OSX give you safari, most linux distro's come with firefox, so you can't complain. Forcing an update to IE 6 would be good though, because the recent IE is quite good, though I preger firefox, and even that has problems.
  16. Now this isn't a long rant about America, I am not that arrogant, nor am I prone to classyfying people in one group as being the same, instead I am going to briefly speak about something which a large majority of people in America seem to feel.You only need to look back in History to Vietnam to see how petrified the USA was of Communism, as if it was going to takehold, we're now approaching 2010 and has anything changed. To alot of people in politics, and people in general, Social reforms and socialism = Communism, this is not the case, it is a sad day when someones political beliefs that are in no way (Rasist or based on Nazi, Ideals, and other extremely negative things) are used as such an insult, communism is a dirty word, brought on I think through the telling of history, or implanted in the minds of children. The scary thing is, people with little healthcare, maybe no job and dirty clothes, living in the dirtyest trailer in the roughest parts, associate socialism with communism and therefore hate everything socialist, without realising socialism is there for them, this includes the disabled. Now socialism does not reward lazyness but what it does do is make sure people get a minimum standard of living which include healthcare.ah yes you've zoomed in on the point of this topic, healthcare to those that need it, I am constantly shocked that the idea of a corperation being in charge of your health doesn't scare you more than the idea of rights for everyone, the corperations don't care about you, they want your money, and if you don't have insurance, you can't pay then they'll toss you on the street and leave you there. The government is/should be owned by the people, and therefore must care about you. Obama has wisely decided to take an unpopular action for change, wether you personally agree or not the hostility the idea has recieved has been shocking, the NHS has been used to show a negative however, wait times are now down to an acceptable lengh of time and everyone has healthcare, america's system see to it that millions of people don't get the help they need. Scrubs showed it best, the dr's sneaking patients without insurance on, is that a good system, I don't think so. So please, social welfare reforms are not synonomous with communism, Robin hood isn't going to come steal all your money, tax may go up but it's going to need to go up regardless what with the economic climate. Please discuss.
  17. Now education and spiritualism mentioned in the same sentence usually is not a popular combination for me, I got my hopes in the first line, until "unfortuantly" reared it's ugly head right, well while I will agree that education teaches facts without suggesting what to do with them passing an exam we hit the For one thing, you suggest that athiesm teaches that life is meaningless, few if any athiest, believe life is meaningless or else we wouldn't bother, there doesn't have to have a meaning set by a dictator, you are free to find your own meaning. I don't believe in life meaningless, I am a happy, stressless person who enjoys my life, I find meaning when I speak to a friend or play a game, the meaning of life to me is to live in a way which benifits you without causing excessive strain on someone else. Prehaps the thing you are worried about is that not teaching children your religion, not teaching them any religion means they will end up without a religion. But you see, it only shows the weakness of your place, Children who are taught the facts and are asked to make there own minds without the bias of someone else being thrust apon them, hardly ever will turn to religion, and why should they, Religious studies teaches about all religions but moreso teaches to think for yourself, objectively, Religion and objective thinking are hardly compatible, if you are brought up religious you work your faith around science, or you distort science around your faith, but if you know the facts you will distrust the distortions and distrust the religion that has been altered to suit what we know. Athiesm isn't a belief favoured by people who slit their wrists and wear black, it is a mixed bag like anything else, but you don't need god to be happy, all you need to do is do those things that make you happy within reason, there is no use wasting your life because you don't know if there will be eternal happyness after. Stick to what you know, that you have this life and that you can be happy for the remainder of it. The last line I think represents what everyone collectively believes that you need to know right from wrong, have certain values in order for society to function and for people to be happy, the difference being is that you will say it requires a god, where as I say, that these exist without god.
  18. Don't worry about saying hello again, I have currently made 3 posts in that particular forum, all the times I've gone and come back. anyway hope your here to say, I don't remember you so either you joined that long ago, or were only here during a spell that I wasn't regardless, welcome back, you'll know the rules, no need to tell you. good luck.
  19. On the old system it was possible to send credits to other members as competition prizes or in exchange for good and services, ETC. the new system is missing a way of sending mycents to people, the reason I say this Is I'm terrible at art, graphics photoshop, that big group, and I reckon others are inept at something that someone on the forum isn't. I'm sure people want to run competitions, like in the old days. So my question is, is a transfer system a planned feature for the future, is it possible? It is surely plausable. Are you even considering the idea, has this been mentioned already and I just havn't looked.
  20. Hello Siner, I hope you will enjoy your stay here, and pick up some freebies as well. It's good to have another coder, better than having someone who can barely code or use photoshop or anything helpful like that, and instead spends all his time debating, though I'm not mentioning any names (Kobra500). But in all seriousness, just add something that wasn't here before and you've already started on the right track.
  21. part of me hopes it doesn't come back (the one with different options), a particular user took the time to go through and disagree with every post I made, all because of what I believe in (or don't) by all means debate with me, but I would never be so petty as to try to undermine someone by dirty tricks, thats the problem on youtube, False DMCA's and Flagging, votebotting.
  22. Welcome Alex, I always knew you'd make it , have a drink from me, hell have 2, your paying for them.
  23. What I don't understand is while people would buy/sell sauce thats not in a squeasy bottle, when the latter is far superior.
  24. Well a lot of the information about it is Misinformation, how ever the sum of it is not as misinforming as what you just said, anyone who is interested in Global warming which deals with information, misinformation and speculation should watch this video series on youtube. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ But it certainly is not a scam, there certainly is evidence for it. Also in the Case of the Y2K bug they were unsure of what would happen, although what they predicted really was not such.
  25. Now ignoring all the Religion in it, it makes an aweful lot of sense, however, it doesn't state how to overcome tempation, merely states the obvious. But I agree, why do we fight temptation, because that tempation has a negitive effect on ourself. Gluttony is a good example, especially if what you are eating is very unhealthy, gluttony depending on the context is often selfish, I've had problems with Gluttony for years, it is annoying to try not eating, I nearly went and made a sandwhich at 12:30 and I'm not even hungry so it is annoying problem, and there are lots of other tempations apart from Gluttony, of course sometimes you let yourself fall to your tempations depending on what it is, in moderation.Also the Bible Quote need to go in Quote marks.
