  1. Too true. I feel sorry for the American soldiers who are now at Iraq. ( I am not American) They are there to serve their country, believing in their leader, but in truth, the war is not justified. The soldiers do not deserve to be at Iraq. THe soldiers do not deserve to die there. I hang my head in shame when I know George W. Bush claim he is a God fearing Christian. He has already broke almost ALL of the Commandments. Same thing to what happenned now in Palestine. Why there are suicide bombers? They have no choice! That is the only way they can retialiate. They can't match the superiority of Israel's army. They resort to suicide bombing. Religion is never the issue here. People just use religion as an excuse to discriminate certain races.
  2. You got me there! I am no historian, so I can't prove what you have just said The bottom line is: Having a religion is a good thing, IMO. THere is no religion in the world that ask you to do evil. Whether it is Judaism, Islam, Christian or Buddhism, all religions ask us to live in peace with each others and love one another. So, basically, have a religion, kids
  3. ermmm.......what's the motive of letting people know how big is your game collection? (beside boosting some people's ego) I dun see any motivation in doing this.
  4. Yes, maybe But can a story written by a monk affecting millions and millions of lives around the world? Only the work of God can do that. Amen to that
  5. Opppss...the table is confusing.... But the main point is: If we are using empirical statistics to determine the exact truth to the fact, the New Testaments will prove that it is really real and based on real historical events since there are so many copies of it.
  6. Do you guys know that the most famous scientists in history are all God-fearing person? They are all inspired by the Bible that lead to their amazing discoveries. And this is taken from "Who is Jesus?" by Nicky Gumbel. "I am told that in a communist Russian dictionary Jesus is described as ‘a mythical figure who never existed’. No serious historian could maintain that posi­tion today. There is a great deal of evidence for Jesus’ existence. This comes not only from the Gospels and other Christian writings, but also from non-Christian sources. For example, the Roman historians Tacitus (directly) and Suetonius (indirectly) both write about him. The Jewish historian Josephus, born in AD 37, describes Jesus and his followers thus: Now there was about this time, Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for he was a doer of wonderful works—a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ; and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians so named after him, are not extinct at this day. So there is evidence outside the New Testament for the existence of Jesus. Furthermore, the evidence in the New Testament is very strong. Sometimes people say, ‘The New Testament was written a long time ago. How do we know that what they wrote down has not been changed over the years?’ The answer is that we do know, very accurately through the science of textual criticism, what the New Testament writers wrote. Essentially the more texts we have, the less doubt there is about the original. The late Professor F. F. Bruce (who was Rylands professor of biblical criticism and exegesis at the University of Man­chester) shows in his book Are the New Testament Docu­ments Reliable? how wealthy the New Testament is in manuscript attestation by comparing the texts with other historical works. The table below summarises the facts and shows the extent of the New Testament evidence. Work When written Earliest copy Time span (yrs) No. of copies Herodotus 488-428 BC AD 900 1,300 8 Thucydides C. 460-400 BC C. AD 900 1,300 8 Tacitus AD 100 1100 1,000 20 Caesar’s 58-50 BC AD 900 950 9-10 Gallic War Livy’s 59 BC-AD 17 AD 900 900 20 Roman History New Testament AD 40-100 AD 130 300 5,000+ Greek (full manuscripts AD 350) 10,000 Latin 9,300 others F. F. Bruce points out that for Caesar’s Gallic War we have nine or ten copies and the oldest was written some 900 years later than Caesar’s day. For Livy’s Roman History we have not more than twenty copies, the ear­liest of which comes from around AD 900. Of the four­teen books of the histories of Tacitus only twenty copies survive; of the sixteen books of his Annals, ten portions of his two great historical works depend entirely on two manuscripts, one of the ninth century and one of the eleventh century. The history of Thucydides is known almost entirely from eight manuscripts belonging to C. AD 900. The same is true of the history of Herodotus. Yet no classical scholar doubts the authenticity of these works, in spite of the large time gap and the relatively few manuscripts. As regards the New Testament we have a great wealth of material. The New Testament was probably written between AD 40 and AD 100. We have excellent full manuscripts of the whole New Testament dating from as early as AD 350 (a time span of only 300 years), papyri containing most of the New Testament writings dating from the third century and even a fragment of John’s Gospel dating from about AD 130. There are over 5,000 Greek manuscripts, over 10,000 Latin manuscripts and 9,300 other manuscripts, as well as over 36,000 citings in the writings of the early church fathers. As one of the greatest textual critics ever, F. J. A. Hart, said, ‘In the variety and fullness of the evidence on which it rests, the text of the New Testament stands absolutely and unapproachably alone among ancient prose writ­ings.’ So, kids, do more readings
  7. Is there a reason why most posts did not get past 100 posts? The Cosplay thread is only 97. I have seen 400 something thread at other forums.
  8. I think u can still find a good bargain at eBay You won't regret it! It has lots of minigames to keep you preoccupied for a long time and a great cast of characters. Control is fluid too.
  9. Sorry, I'll get it right. Nyuuka. MOTM is SNK Vs Capcom : Match Of the Millenium. It is released for Neo Geo Pocket Colour, a really underrated handheld ( to me, it is greater than Gameboy Advance). Anyway, in the game, Dan has a Super Taunt where he will change into everyone's taunt like Chun Li's, Mai's, Kyo's and Akuma's. Really funny.
  10. Hi Ryuuka. I really like your animation. THe one with Akuma and Grant. Can you make one for me? I mwould like MOTM Dan's Super Taunt
  11. Just be brave and tell her true feeling. We must DARE TO FAIL!! Then only we can continue to strive.
  12. A Polish man married a Canadian girl after he had been in Canada a year or so and, although his English was far from perfect, they got on very well. Until one day he rushed into a lawyer's office and asked him if he could arrange a divorce for him - "very quick." The lawyer said that the speed for getting a divorce would depend on the circumstances and asked him the following questions: LAWYER: Have you any grounds? POLE: JA, JA, an acre and half and a nice little home with 3 bedrooms. LAWYER "No," I mean what is the foundation of this case?" POLE: "It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," he responded. LAWYER: "Does either of you have a real grudge?" POLE: "No," he replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one." LAWYER: "I mean, What are your relations like?" POLE: "All my relations are in Poland." LAWYER: "is there any infidelity in your marriage?" POLE: "Yes, we have hi fidelity stereo set & DVD player with 6.1 sound. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is "yes." LAWYER: No, I mean Does your wife beat you up? POLE: NO, I'm always up before her. LAWYER: Is your wife a nagger? POLE: NO, she white. LAWYER: WHY do you want this divorce? POLE: SHE going to kill me. LAWYER: What makes you think that? POLE: I got proof. LAWYER: What kind of proof? POLE: She going to poison me. She buy a bottle at the drug store and put on shelf in bathroom. I can read-it says, "Polish Remover."
