Even then, not all cults are bad, they have more of a bad reputation than they deserve, as you have pointed out to great effect they are erywhere around us, its religious cults that are the real concern. And I cant think of any rational fear that SPCR may give other than the classic one of is my ev...

BTW do you consider SPCR a cult, why or why not? Yes to a certain degree, numbers 3, and 4 apply, but the rest dont at all. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/cult Number 2 doesn't apply? How many points does a religion or cult need to score before it is rationally feared? Do you have a rationa...

During the Middle Ages several European Catholic 'theocracies' set out openly and zealously to conquer as much of the world as they could and forcibly convert the natives of those countries to Christianity whilst at the same time robbing them of their treasure. And look how badly that's turned out,...

Good, now all you need to agree is that people have a RATIONAL fear of Islam. I'll do that as soon as you admit to having a rational fear of Catholicism because of IRA I have a rational fear of every single Religion and cult on this earth that is practiced. Now its your turn. Then by tautology you ...

That's rather a sweeping statement; completely wrong in my opinion and somewhat arrogant. Good thing it's the first arrogant statement in the entire thread :roll: Actually what occurs is that most people form their opinions from what they see happening in their own street, their neighbourhood and t...

My answer is that people will continue to go to the existing ones, and when they are jam packed they would simply stay at home, and watch their sports, have friends round and drink beer. So if it will change nothing, why do it in the first place? As I have pointed out a few times people are (rightf...

Also: religion (via the brainwashed masses) like to change laws (often legally via a vote) to discriminate against others because of their religion. Here we have an example of religion changing (keeping) the law in its own vies because of religion, that is not secular at all. http://www.bbc.co.uk/wo...

Thanks for the review. I might grab one for my storage drive. Does anyone have any experience with the 1 TB WD10EADS? Being in the same family I'd assume it's very similar, but if someone could chime in that'd be great. It has slightly worse price/TB than the 1.5 TB reviewed, but I'm not convinced I...

Re: It's been a while...
So I'm wondering, is it reasonable nowdays to be able to build a rig that could rival the quietness of my laptop. At idle, I've set it to spin its single 40mm at 1900 rpm, and I can only hear it in a very quiet room with my ear 6 inches away. Definitely. If anything, it's gotten easier. My desktop ...

So you can "imagine" yourself in the scenario in question, you can then give answers via your thought of "being" in that scenario. That would be useless.
