Unless you’re in Iraq, please don't bore me with your useless armchair General analysis. You’re a dime a dozen these days.

If you want to do something real. Please take time to pray for all folks affected by the war.

No, just doing my duty as I’ve done for the last 21 years. Just back from a perimeter patrol at the airport looking for standoff weapons or anything unusual.

Yes... please do something "real" and pray to the non-existent everloving god...


Or... how about stepping outside and wishing on a star?

Sorry, we didn't mean to force "Thee Who Hath a Real Life" to sit down and read our posts.

Please accept our apology for draggin you away from your real life, tying you to your PC, glueing your eyelids open and forcing you to read our useless analysis.

Have a nice day

It has always been pretty obvious to me that if you truly don't beleive in God then you will never find him and hence for you he will never exist.

If I were to ask you if the orange I am eating is sweet or sour what would be your reply? You wouldn't know, of course, you are not experiencing what I am when I am tasting the orange.

He exists for me, I believe in him and have felt his influence in my life. Am I better than you for that? I guess that would depend from which perspective you wanted to view that from. It wouldn't be for me to say.

It's impossible to prove a negative.

Prime Example:

Funked's system told him to go out and get pootang....now we know that is impossible for Funked to do.  But knowing it's impossible for Funked, it is also still impossible to prove Funked didn't do it.

This might all be true. Still, you can't prove it.


...and neither can I.

...how quickly this thread changed tracks.

I've heard mass (groups of people) prayer (regardless of what it is directed at) helps people overcome illness and dire situations.

Does this mean there's something beyond us that has influence on the situation, OR does it simply mean the collective will of a people can influence the outcome?

Discuss...

Define "real".

Something that can be sensed?  Taste, touch, smell, see, hear?

That means dreams are "real"...

Every day waking life is "real"...

Hmm, we have multiple realities.

Think of the Matrix.... take the red pill, or the blue pill. :)  I wish we had that choice :D

For the same reason that you post what you do. You can't prove it either.

Yes... we can peacefully coexist.

It's okay.

Really.

It is.

As someone who does perimeter patrols for Sydney KFS airport...how exactly did you look for a standoff weapon (even better whats your definition of one - because mine would seem to be different)

And as an atheist...I'll just armchair it thanks.

To me, stand-off means a weapon fired from an aircraft at a target that is beyond visual range, which guides itself to target while the aircraft flies home.

Not sure how that would transate to airport security.

Big shiny jet, with large self propelled weapon slung underneath. ;)

Maybe he just means timed devices, like bombs or mortar tubes similar to those used by the IRA a few years ago.

It is if your target is holding a knife. :)

It's OK for me to comment however, I am "an embedded reporter".

I have been working with and have become like part of the family with a group called "Americans". They have accepted me as one of their own, and allow me the freedom to express my views... just like them.

 Lots of big shiney jets at KFS, however if I'd saw one heading over the fence line with an underslung stand off weapon...

a.  It wouldn't really be a standoff would it? The definition would be the jet should've launched it??
b.  Either way...it'd be a little totally tubular late to do anything :D

At least I can now go to work and feel good I'm doing my part..are you?

...would you like to know more?
