Speaking of calendars and time and such there, I find it cool that a solar day on Mars is about the same as a day on Earth. It's like 24hrs, 39 minutes and 35 seconds, give or take.

I'm voting for a Mormon, despite the fact that our views differ wildly on certain issues.
On matters of understanding economics and what it'll take to get the country WORKING again, which pertain far more to the job description of President, Mitt is light years ahead of Comrade Obama.

Hey Kwick,
I hate to say it, but that Dawkins guy is kind of a dick. Is this really a quote of his? It can't be real... It has to be somebody completely misquoting him and making a joke. If it isn't a quote of his, please disregard the rest of this post in reply of the pic.
First, talking about "halves" he's delusional. If you add up every person in the world who is an athiest vs. every person in the world who believes in one form of religion or another, there is no "half" about it. I don't even need to do the research on that. Even you can concede that you don't believe that 50 percent of the world population is atheistic.
Second, the comment "the half that believes the world is 6,000 years old" is completely asenine. I grew up Catholic and, though I was never confirmed Catholic, I never once heard anyone in my family or at church even mention this. My first time ever hearing this was on the internet well after I was 20 years old.
Third, I believe the "6,000 years old" theory is something that is exclusive to certain types of Christians and not any other religion. According to Dawkins' quote here, that means that half of the people in the world are that crazy form of Christian and the other half are athiest. I guess Dawkins just wiped out Jews, Catholics (and many other Christian Religions), Muslims, Voodoo practitioners, Wicans, Satanists and hundreds of other religions in one paragraph.
What a powerful man. Adolph Hitler is smiling in his grave now for the first one, and I can think of several rabid Christian looneys that are loving the rest of the aftermath of that powerful quote.

You pretty clearly missed that part of the quote where he specifically referenced AMERICA and half the COUNTRY being prepared to vote for Romney.
Are you saying there's no way half (or more) of the voters in America will vote for Romney?
If you don't believe the fundamentalist claptrap, good for you. Maybe you should be talking to the people running the GOP and the tea parties, though, because they seem to be kowtowing to the hard-right talibangelists.

Because voting for political leaders who feel and talk to the spirits of the dead is so much more sane than anything TEA party or GOP voters believe.
Got it.
Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen

Can you show me any non-Christian Tea Party or GOP leaders? Because every so-called Christian claims to "feel and talk to the spirits of the dead". I'm willing to bet that every political leader you've supported does that.
And while you're at it, can you show me how a Mars mission is in any way a proper function of government? I mean, I know *I* dig space exploration, but all you "small gubmint!" types really have no place being happy about this mission, do you?
