ren, I'm 100% certain that you and all of the rest of the conspiracy nuts on the intertron are NOT experts on building demolition, physics, etc. etc.

Like I said before, you might as well be telling me that Jesus Himself pulled the buildings down by His mighty hand; your preconceived notions of conspiracy is a belief stronger than any facts I could give you -- just like a fundamentalist.

It's pretty much a fact of life by now that when traumatic things happen to us as a society, there is a certain segment of the population that will turn it into a conspiracy, usually for no better reason than to try to make the shock, the horror, the confusion into pieces that fit - into a story palatable enough to agree with their tastes.

Sometimes a well-orchestrated terrorist attack on an unsuspecting citizenry is just a well-orchestrated terrorist attack on an unsuspecting citizenry...y'know?

This man is an enemy of the year 3000 (Futurama, where the word changes).

@stewilliamson - you obviously don't know westy.

Dialects are a fact of life, but if you want to look educated/cultured, you want to speak with a passably clean dialect/non-dialect, or you risk not getting ahead in professional environments where a moderate degree of sophistication is expected.

Having said that, the "he and I" and "to him and me" me/I split continues to baffle too many people for my taste.

absolutely funny .... *claps*

on a more serious note ... dare i say that tim hardaway has some balls for expressing his true honest, albeit ignorant, feelings?!?! there are many people on this little blue planet that sadly still feel like he does! it's a fact of life ...

Any site that has a large page rank will have problems with its users having their emails scraped. There is nothing that we can really do other than hide email addresses from other users, but that is a pretty shabby way of managing things. It would cut down on a lot on interpersonal communication which is what makes this site a community.

"If you want to defend your email server with the defense that Im spammed due to having my email in my profile"

I am not defending our email server, I am saying that in no uncertain terms is our email server compromised. In fact all emails originating from videosift.com are initiated using a regular old php mail system that is integrated into the php kernel, we don't have an actual mail server to speak of. So the only logical conclusion is that people are scraping your email from your profile. It sounds like you have a spam blocking system in place which brings me to the question "what's the big deal?"

It's a fact of life in this day in age that you will receive email spam, 9 out of 10 emails sent in 2006 were spam. You seem to have dealt with it on your end, which no doubt every other member of the site has done as well. Why target us for something that is not our fault?

Perhaps Science is the the rules by which God works. I think the two have something in common, If God has made laws for us to live by it would mean that he would also adhere to those laws he has made. I feel science is simply the study of the laws that govern the universe and no study of those laws can refute a God. Dawkins uses sociology to try and disprove God, not science. Dawkins is far to close minded and opinionated to accept ceartian facts in life. And his contempt for religion blinds him to venues that could make the man truely brilliant. True scientific research stops when possiabilites are ruled out based on personal bias.

This is why I loved the Facts of Life so much.
