The earth spins and rotates around the sun.  The bible rather suggests that the sun moved across the sky daily which we know does not happen. (unless you are saying that god changed these matters since the events described?)  Now the spinning of the earth entails certain physical phenomena.  The sudden stop of the rotation would mean the contents of the earth would keep moving.  This would have to be taken care of by god.  Especially water in the seas and lakes.  (This came after the flood).

here you go..... the little dictator....


Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: People Who Don't Believe in Global Warming Alarmism Should Be Thrown In Jail
—Ace

This is becoming an applause line on the left.

And that's a weird and alarming thing, isn't it?
Mr. Kennedy, who has been kept out of one of New York’s Senate seats only by happy circumstance, says that he believes his opponents to be guilty of "treason" -- his word -- and wants them convicted of crimes -- "They ought to be serving time," he says.
It's a very alarming thing that an ostensible political leader should say this, and that thousands of people should cheer the sentiment.

There was quite a lot of passion for a strike on Afghanistan post-9/11 -- and quite a few dissenters. The Peace At Any Cost coalition.

Those in favor of beating the shit out of Al Qaeda formed an overwhelming consensus on that particular point.

Did any political leaders speak about locking up dissenters in prison?

I don't think they did. But I'd like a correction if my memory is faulty.

And meanwhile the masks keep a-tumbling off.

Oh and here are some "Greens" who argued that they left huge amounts of litter after their rally in order to provide recyclables for the homeless.

On a more substantive note, a scientist named Steven Koonin wrote in the WSJ this weekend that the "science" of global warming was almost entirely unsettled.

It's a good piece, and I recommend reading it in full.

But don't miss the ending, which I actually did the first time:
Dr. Koonin was undersecretary for science in the Energy Department during President Barack Obama's first term and is currently director of the Center for Urban Science and Progress at New York University.
Should President Obama's former undersecretary for science be thrown in jail, I wonder?

We are in a strange and dark chapter in history. The left doesn't just want to demolish capitalism, they want to repeal the Enlightenment as well.

They want a second Dark Ages.

Does lying on behalf of god make you feel powerful?

I have asked questions concerning the sun stopping in the sky.  You reply god can do anything.

What sorts of things would god have to do to achieve this?

I see, so the inside of the brim was the measurement of the diameter but the outside of said brim was the measurement of the circumference?

Why the change?  And why was this difference exactly equal to pi?

I Kings 7:23 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

II Chron 4:2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

and, just while I'm scanning google, notice this:

2014 Job Creation Faster in States that Raised the Minimum ...

Jun 30, 2014 - The baseline is the average of the employment figures for the last five months of 2013 (August to December), which is measured against the ...

For god's sake, this is just common sense. At that level, people spend the extra earnings, the increased wage goes invariably directly back to the economy, I heard a while ago the incredible statement that 50% couldn't even raise $400 without having to borrow from friends or family. So even accepting that that bookseller might have to lay off an employee, that employee will be able to find a new job because of the income going back into the economy.

This has to be done. I don't think $15.00 p/h is good, that's too inflationary, but $10.00 minimum should be standard country wide, and a little bit higher than that in urban centers to account for the higher costs of living there.

The article cites 2 million jobs created in 2013. Texas did NOT create 1 million jobs in 2013. North Dakota was actually the job leader last year, so skrumpie's statement "almost 50%" of jobs is as dumb as your statement that Texas created 1 million jobs in the last year.

By email, Perry spokesman Josh Havens referred to information attributed to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicating that Texas reaped more than 1.75 million net new jobs from March 2003 to March 2013, a period in which the United States as a whole accounted for 5.3 million net new jobs, Havens said.

A quick search didn't turn up an actual number for Texas in 2013, but I can guarantee that it wasn't a million.

First, I would note that as a comment in this article points out, there's a big difference between "creating" jobs and someone moving an existing job into the state so they can pay lower wages.

Also, a very interesting point raised, given all the screaming by sting and frazy re immigrants...

Next, demography. Texas has benefited from that biggest of political hot potatoes, immigration. Rather than being a drag on the state’s economy, the steady influx of workers has fueled growth–according to economists [pdf] at the Dallas Federal Reserve–giving the state new, eager workers across a variety of employment areas.

It would be as interesting to do that as to find out how the ark did not break up due to movement of the timbers. I know it was special wood god created then, after the flood made extinct but .......

he thinks that people who do not believe in global climate change should be thrown in jail.... how very marxist/stalinist of him.... whats that saying... inside every liberal is a totalitarian itching to get out.... yeah... thats it...

There is one important aspect of a conscience that you conveniently over-look.
A conscience is what most of us use to determine right from wrong, and truth from lies,  and our own actions based upon our own conscience. Most of us have the ability to know the difference between right and wrong, truth & lies, etc..  and act accordingly and appropriately within societal norms.

nah, a cubit is usually given the figure of 0.45m so the figure is height of Mt Everest plus 4.5metres.The hardest part was finding out the volume of dry land situated above sea level.

Once I worked out how much water was required to flood the world to 10 cubits above the highest mountain.  It was a lot, where it went nobody knows.  And how the seas were salty and lakes were not, even after this mixing of water is hard to reconcile with the truth.

The bible can't even get the value of pi right.  A circle with a diameter of 10 does not have a circumference of 30.

The earth rotates around its own axis and also performs a circuit around the sun so the position of the sun in the sky could not stop for a few hours as per the biblical story.

This one is a mountaineering guide from France.  In retaliation for bombing ISIS.  The French minister says they will continue to bomb.

Apple’s iPhone 6 has been met with effusive praise from the tech press and long lines wherever it is sold.

But many in the tech industry are accusing Apple of copying many features found in Android phones and the operating system they run. There is an irony here, since Apple is one of the most aggressive patent lawsuit filers in the world and has famously been at war with Samsung, charging that its Android phones have closely copied features of earlier iPhones.

In one example of the iPhone 6 backlash, Ron Amadeo of Ars Technica Reviews recently told The Huffington Post, “A lot of iOS 8 features were on Android first, and bigger iPhones are a validation of the direction Samsung and the other Android OEMs have been pushing things. Android copied Apple a lot in the early days, but now it seems like the pendulum is swinging in the other direction."

Amadeo has a point. The iPhone 6 looks a lot like the Nexus 4, a Samsung phone that came out way back in 2012 with a 4.7-inch screen, 760p resolution, notification action widgets, third-party keyboards, cross-app communication, cloud photo backup and battery stats — all to be found on the iPhone 6. What’s more, Apple has just been awarded a new patent for adding moving radial menus to both Macs and iOS devices. According to Cult of Mac, this feature is reminiscent of a feature introduced way back in 2011 by — you guessed it — Samsung. It’s hardly surprising that smartphones would have similar features, and this wouldn’t be worth writing about except for that central irony — the fact that Apple has been locked in an epic legal rivalry with Samsung for the better part of the last decade over exactly this type of copycat design.

Apparently, Apple’s view is that when Samsung does it, it’s patent infringement, but when Apple does it, it’s giving customers what they want.

The legal feud began when Apple sued and was awarded a $929 million jury verdict in a patent case that claimed that Samsung infringed several of Apple’s design patents in Samsung smartphones and graphical icons. Apple famously argued that the Samsung devices resembled the rounded rectangular shape of Apple’s iPhone. Samsung was ordered to pay Apple all of the profits from its products that contained those designs even though Apple never showed that the design patents in question drove sales of Samsung devices.

Apple and Samsung recently called off their 40 separate patent cases in courts outside of the U.S., indicating that both parties are trying to wind down this bitter legal rivalry. But the two companies are still battling over that nearly $1 billion verdict.

Apple’s penchant for aggressively pursuing litigation and excessive claims of financial damage against competitors is emblematic of a bigger problem in the tech space. According to The New York Times, as much as $20 billion was spent on patent litigation and patent purchases in the last two years. Putting that amount in perspective, that is an amount equal to eight Mars rover missions. Last year, for the first time, spending by Apple and Google on patent lawsuits and unusually big-dollar patent purchases exceeded spending on research and development of new products, according to public filings.

Which brings us back to the obvious similarities between the iPhone 6 and Nexus 4. Apple has every right to defend its intellectual property, but to turn around and do exactly what it has accused Samsung of doing is almost comical.

But it reminds me of when I managed restaurants, we would have these idiots That would see the money coming in and wonder why we didn't pay them more… I would just take them back to the office and let them do the books, some of them realized some of them got fired…

Actually labor at McDonald's runs somewhere between 18 and 21% per hour… Then you have food cost which would be somewhere around 30 to 40% then you have all their taxes, utilities, payments for the buildings, maintenance, advertising…

Of any business, the restaurant is the most likely to fail.

Yeah...that ole fire and brimstone god of the old testament was a merciful fellow wasnt he Sana8410?  Puberty must be a bitch for gods.
