Me too. Still, I was beginning to think it wouldn't even be released this year, so I'm happy.

I think I might die from HP overdose this summer....

The future won't exist until it happens. God knows us so well that he can accurately predict what we will do. The objects in the universe (except humans) obey Him, so whatever He commands will happen. With the universe in His control, and knowing us like He does, He can see how future events will un...

In Anchorage, AK it's supposed to be in the 30s (F) this week (slightly above 0 C). Yes, we Alaskans are in the midst of a warm spell. It is currently in the 40s. Unfortunately, I don't know many who are happy about this. We didn't get enough snow this year, and now it is going away. Presently, it ...

I believe God created us so we could be truly happy and become like Him. I think that there may some purposes/goals for our lives that we planned with Him, but we are the ones who make the choices to achieve them. He knew before we came here what we could and would do, but, like hive king said, ther...

When God was formulating His master plan, He knew whether we would/wouldn't pray (one of the perks of omniscience). He also knew the consequences of giving us our requests or not. He doesn't change His plan because of a prayer, He included the prayers we would say in the plan.

LilBee91

That's awesome. Have a blast!

LilBee91

No; it would be too much. Besides, nobody's story can compare with Ender's in Battle School. and Bean covered Earthlife afterwards. As for backgrounds, OSC's short stories work spectacularly.

LilBee91

I have changed my mind. I would like the ability to use everyone else's powers (like Rogue, but without hurting them).

LilBee91

I'd go for flight--and the ability to keep warm and breathe really high up.

LilBee91

I would probably alter something so it would be easier to change what I wanted to change. If I just changed things outright I'd feel like a slacker and probably wouldn't appreciate the changes so much. I'd have to put forth a little effort. Though, I wouldn't mind never having to shave again....

LilBee91

Yay! Congratulations! I wish you a very, very happy life.

LilBee91

Is it just me, or is there more spam on this board than there was on Pweb II?

But that's beside the point. I must agree with brain: I waAAAANNnt it!

LilBee91

Not too wild of celebrations though. You still have drug test

Congrats!

I took my husband's name. I didn't have a middle name growing up, so my maiden name is now my middle name. I hated not having a middle name growing up, and I'm not so sure I like have a last name as my middle name, so I have every intention of not carrying on the no-middle name crap that was thrown...

We don't get snow days. When the wind was blowing 70mph, with a wind chill well in the negatives, school was optional (i.e. parents could keep their kids home, but they'd still have to make everything up). Actually, I think the only time they have cancelled school has been for wind (and even then, i...

I'd change my name. It's a tradition. My current last name is a pain to sign. My brothers can carry on the family name just fine. And as it is, I'm not all that attached to my father's surname--I look enough like him that I don't need that to show we're related. My English teacher last year followed...

Jebus can say whatever he wants. It's one of the fundamental laws of the universe.

I love that story.

I think that harvesting stem cells from embryos is similar, at least in the case of embryos that are the product of fertility treatments and will never be used (as declared by the "parents"). I see no problem in harvesting cells from these embryos that will never use them and using those ...

LilBee91

You can get both. Just like you have to get a marriage license now, you would go down to city hall and get a civil union, then go to the church and get married. Some churches would let you get married without a civil union, some wouldn't, it's up to them. Does that make it clear? A system like that...

LilBee91

This is just like it is now, just with "civil unions" replacing marriage (and priests not being able to create a legal bond).

If priests couldn't make legal bonds, wouldn't that rob religious marriages of the legal rights given to civil unions? Or am I just misunderstanding your idea?

LilBee91

They reported they were able to extract the stem cells without harm to mother or fetus and turn their discovery into several different tissue cell types, including brain, liver and bone. This is precisely why I think taking stem cells from amniotic fluid is perfectly moral. I'm a little more unsure...

LilBee91

There's a sequel? I'm ashamed that I didn't know that. Holes is an excellent book, and the movie wasn't half bad.

LilBee91

*cough* Enemy's Gate

Biologically, it is highly unlikely that you could will your genes to be different.

That's my thinking. Your genes are your genes. You can sometimes do differently than your genes instruct, but I don't think you change the genes themselves.

LilBee91

Yes, but how does that detract from other marriages? It doesn't detract from other marriages. It degrades the ideal of sacred marriage between a man and woman. Calling union between two of the same sex "marriage" destroys the holy meaning many attach to the agreement. It's kind of like th...

LilBee91

Somewhere ? Yes. With the unfathomable number of planets in the universe, any number of which being capable of sustaining and nurturing life, one or more can very well have reached the point of intelligence. This is not even taking into consideration the myriad number of dimensions and different un...

I foresee a new religion forming with Steve Jobs as the savior of mankind, and all those without the latest Apple gadgets shall be doomed to suffer unimaginable torment. That aside... Cults are a matter of size and public perception, both of which are rather subjective characteristics. I think any r...

I always did like silent films.

I don't think there is a nationwide discrimination. Like anonshadow said, it depends where you are. In some places (or social circles) athiests are the spawn of satan. In others, they are the only sane people on earth. Yes, there is discrimination, but I think every group has some of that going for ...

LilBee91

Ah, EL, your dog is adorable!

Why are pets so cute?

LilBee91

Happy 2007!

Their doctrine and principles do not seem violent (though I have not read all of the Quran, so I could be very wrong). Even if from its beginning there was violence, it isn't rooted in it. Islam is full of extremists, and has been for most of its existence, but I think that at its basic level it is ...
