The good folks at the NYT obviously missed the Act of Valor promo video about Ajay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci3pk2a1UZw Who cares what color their skin is as long as they can do the job? Come to think of it, that applies across the board, not just for SEALs.

Your "comment" is nearly twice as long as the original article. I'm guessing the 140 character limit on Twitter gives you the shivers. ;)

Zee, you could at least try to be consistent in your arguments? Which is it - Are people here illegally because "US employees" (whatever that means) hire them OR because there is no real penalty for them being here? I think you got it half right. The issue boils down to a lack of enforcement. That's where the "no real penalty" part comes in. Funny, that lack of enforcement is what Arizona and Gov. Brewer are working to help remedy. Oh, and it's what Norris advocates too. So apparently you really agree with him, even though you lack the clarity to realize it. But go ahead, call HIM a moron. (Sheesh!)

The big problem in our schools today is that our children are taught how to learn instead of how to think. They get rewarded for regurgitating back whatever the teachers give them but are effectively unable to think critically anymore.

Seems like Google dropped the ball when they put Buzz only inside of Gmail instead of launching it as a stand alone service. Rumor has it they are feverishly working on something new called "Google Me". We'll see if they can come up with a winner this time.

Gatorbait, please turn off your all caps. There is no need to yell here.

Reading through your comments, Jack, it is obvious that your goal here is to insult and shock to provoke a reaction rather than engage in any kind of meaningful discussion of ideas. That lands you right in the middle of Wikipedia's definition of a Troll.

Between your endless ad hominem attacks, innumerable straw men, and constant shifting of topics to avoid discussing points others bring to the table it is apparent that you have no desire to have any meaningful serious discussion.

That being the case, and since you are such a distinguished Bible scholar, I'll simply refer you to Psalms 14:1 and wish you well.

Jack Napier, reading through your comments on this thread it seems you are far more interested in stirring the pot than in presenting (or even finding) truth. You offer opinions claiming they're fact, ad hominem attack in the guise of intellectual discourse and summarily reject any fact presented that clashes with your viewpoint pretending they are irrelevant. (And I fully acknowledge many who are engaging you here have stooped to remarkably uncivil levels themselves, which is beyond unfortunate.)

The bottom line is this. If Jesus really is who he said he is, notwithstanding your speculation that he may not have ever said it, then you will get to stand in front of him one day and present your arguments to him directly. Should...

Jack Napier, the real question is, who is Jesus Christ? Since he claimed to be God, his resurrection is the only supporting evidence significant enough to back up a claim that outlandish.

If the resurrection of Jesus never happened, then Christianity is the biggest cultish hoax of all time. If it did then it validates his claim that he is God and following Jesus is a very rational thing to do.

I'm curious which facts you see, or don't see, that prove the resurrection did not happen?

There is a mountain of evidence that indicates it did. Some of that evidence was explored in the article above. Other evidence includes eye witness testimony written down while hundreds of eyewitnesses were still alive, unwillingness or...
