Re: Christopher Hitchens Passes Away at 62
I said a while ago that I'd have more to say on the topic after a while, and I do, although I don't have as much to say as I thought I would. I think that everything that could be said has already either been said by others (not necessarily on this site, but elsewhere too), or can simply be seen by ...

Christopher Hitchens Passes Away at 62
I really don't know what to say right now, I just found out. He was a huge inspiration for me, and I'm quite shocked; I'm at a loss for words. I'll have more to say later, but I have nothing to say at the moment.

Re: COSMOS by Carl Sagan - All 13 Episodes Without Commercia
I'll probably watch after I get out of school for the holidays next week, as I don't have the time right now to watch all of them. I've only seen parts of Cosmos, never a whole episode. I don't know if anyone else heard about this (perhaps this site is actually where I heard this from... I'd sure fe...

Re: Tim Tebow under attack
I agree with Fat Man that the Fox News article. I really have nothing against Christianity as I don't really have any opinion on religion in general, so I'm not criticizing the article because of some anti-religious reason, but because I think it creates a very distorted view. I'm not going to discu...

Re: The "I will be away for a while" thread
This warning should have been posted at the beginning of December: "I will be away for the next 2 weeks, because homelessness has cut down on my Internet access." Anyway, I'm back. How y'all doin'? :D Welcome back RF! I don't know if the homelessness problem you referred to is ongoing now...

The board is temporarily unavailable...
Does anyone else keep getting a message when they visit the site that says the board is temporarily unavailable and to visit again later? It's been happening quite often to me lately. It wouldn't be that odd if it happened every once in a while, but it's been happening a lot lately to me, and was wo...

Concerning a recent guestbook comment
Has anyone (other than Fat Man, who has already responded to the comment) read a recent comment in the Guestbook made by someone named Robbin? I just read it and responded to it, but I was quite shocked at what she said, assuming that she is actually serious. If you haven't read it, I'll quote it, b...

Re: Fight Fight Fight Fight
That video was fairly entertaining! By the way Mohammad, in case you were wondering why your recent posts haven't received much response from other members, it's because it seems that most of everyone's attention on this site is focussed mainly on the Penn State Scandal thread. It's not surprising t...

Re: the Penn State scandal
After I returned to this site, this was the last topic I read while catching up on all the posts during my absence. I was wondering why there were such a little amount of posts in the forum during the time I was gone, but it shouldn't have been a surprise to me that it was because nearly all the pos...

Re: The "I will be away for a while" thread
I think I'm going to take a short break from this site due to recent developments here. I really can't stand watching Fit Man and Fat Man argue because neither of them are helping to produce civil discussion (no offense to either of you, but it is true. Fat Man uses plenty of personal attacks and Fi...

Re: the Penn State scandal
OK, basically, I think only those students who were involved in the riots out in the streets and overturning vehicles, the ones who had no sympathy for the victims of their child molesting coach, they are the ones who should lose their scholarships and be expelled from Penn State. I would keep the ...

Re: the Penn State scandal
I agree with RF, I'm not a fan of athletic scholarships, but I still think it'd be unjust to suddenly take their scholarships away. I don't have a problem with the people who receive those scholarships anyway, as I can't deny that if I could avoid the horrors of student loans by getting a scholarshi...
