You know what's sad? The first time I ever heard that quotes was by IG 88 in the bounty hunter tales book.Dahak wrote:If you mean the latin thing:wolveraptor wrote:What is that supposed to mean?
"I think, therefore I am."
But later I read in an Isaac Asimov novel that it was Descartes, right?

That's mine, it probably sucks...
I'm very dismayed at the news that your Institute is allowing the Religious Doctrine of Creationism to replace the Scientific fact of Evolution.
I understand that money is a factory. I also understand an organization called JREF is offering 20,000 US dollars; if you repay the religious organization Discovery Institute there 16,000 US dollars.
I am VERY concerned over this. I do not want religion being taught to the next generation as if it was hard science and this could well be the first step on that road. Evolution has helped us to understand biology, psychology, geology and a host of other fields, the idea of this being replaced by a religious world view is very unnerving.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

As someone with an LD, I can tell you it won't be cured. But you can overcome it. And you will be better for it.Invictus ChiKen wrote:Damn my dyslexia, it may not look like it but I'm actually improved alot over the years, still have a long way to go it seems.

There, my encouraging words for the decade. Now I can go back to destroying people's self-esteem.
