Japan trading freedom for safety and getting neither?
2008-06-09 12:34:00 I usually agree with Joseph Farah, but I think he needs to take a deep breath and honestly assess the gun control situation in Japan . Here’s an excerpt: A 25-year-old Tokyo man, describing himself as “tired of living,” yesterday killed seven and injured 12 more people…Japan has among the very strictest gun control laws in the ...

2008-06-06 02:10:00 If Obama loses to McCain in the fall, the mainstream media is going to be saying we “were not ready for a black president.” More About: Thing
What makes my blood boil?
2008-05-29 04:16:00 …is the elitists in the global warming scaremongering movement that tell us that we have to make sacrifices or the world is going to end. Rich people like Al Gore and Sting who say that there is a crisis going on and that we have to change the way we live or the earth itself ... More About: Blood
Are we causing Mars and Jupiter to warm, too?
2008-05-24 03:13:00 If there are no Martians or Jupiter ians, then the global warming occuring on those planets must be our fault, right? Well, at least we know President Bush has something to do with it. More About: Mars , Environmentalism
Does your computer randomly crash and restart?
2008-05-22 13:36:00 My computer (about three years old, I guess) was randomly crashing and restarting recently, so I searched around on the Internet for the symptoms and discovered that dust could be the culprit. I contacted the manufacturer’s support center and got instructions for removing the outer case, and sure enough, there was a lot of dust, ... More About: Computer , Crash , Restart
Shroud of Turin back in the news
2008-05-21 16:37:00 The Shroud of Turin is back in the news. John Jackson, a physics lecturer at the University of Colorado contends that the results of the carbon dating tests done back in the 80’s are suspect because of possible contamination. You can count me among the skeptics, but I am still fascinated by the shroud nonetheless. I ... More About: News , In the News , The News , Back
Chitose Hajime
2008-05-19 10:24:00 I thought I’d do something different today and introduce one of my favorite Japanese singers. Her name is Chitose Hajime. She is from the Amami Islands and mixes in traditional folk sound with her music.
What if SETI found ET?
2008-05-14 15:26:00 The question was posed at Uncommon Descent in response to a survey. Personally, I am absolutely convinced that there are no sentient extraterrestrials out there (I’m undecided as to whether or not I think there might be unintelligent life on other planets). I agree with one of the commenters at UD who said, The problem is that ... More About: SETI
Error with Wordpress 2.5 uploader
2008-05-06 12:05:00 When I first upgraded to Wordpress 2.5 I was having problems with the flash uploader. I kept getting an “HTTP Error ,” and Wordpress was telling me to “Try again later.” I searched around the forums and dug through many useless threads until discovering that it could have something to do with mod_security. I then checked ...
Casey?s Critical Thinking has moved!
2008-05-02 05:33:00 Well, I’m now at a new domain. It’s been a long time coming. For the longest time I have wanted to register cct.com, cct.net, cct.info or something like that, but those domains are reserved for at least the next decade or so. I thought about caseyscriticalthinking.com, but that’s too long. So then it occurred to ... More About: Blogging , Casey , Critical thinking , Thinking , Critical

Leader says Hamas ?won?t recognise Israel?
2008-04-22 14:13:00 In case anyone actually believed that the Palestinians were interested in peace, here’s the story right from the horse’s mouth: Hamas is ready to accept a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders but “it will not recognise Israel ,” the Islamist movement’s exiled chief Khaled Meshaal told a news conference Monday. “We accept a Palestinian state within the ...

The precious accident
2008-04-12 08:46:00 I was watching a show called “Alien Planet” on the Discovery channel today, and some scientist (I presume an atheist) said, “We have to realize that life is the result of a series of random accidents. Life is precious, so we must do whatever we can to protect it.” He then went into a shpiel about how we have to protect the environment. I’m left wondering, however, why? Why, if it is merely an accident, do we have to protect life? The word “precious” presupposes that there is some sentient being that feels that affection or to which the thing described is considered valuable. To whom or what are we duty bound to protect life if there is no God? Ourselves? Well, what if some of us don’t see the need? It makes no sense to me. More About: Accident , Precious

Pearl of Wisdom
2008-03-28 09:36:00 A pearl of wisdom from Rush Limbaugh: “John McCain is really depressing conservatives. It was just five years ago that he was toying with leaving our party. In 2004 he toyed with being Kerry’s vice president. We’re so screwed.” That’s exactly how I feel. The Real McCain Record More About: Wisdom , Pearl

Constitutional right to life
2008-03-28 09:25:00 Joseph Farah makes a great point: “We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States ...

I believe
2008-03-24 01:24:00 The empty tomb is not to be overlooked. It is one of the most (if not the most) important evidences of Jesus’ resurrection. The most convincing evidence to me, however, is the testimony of his disciples. I hope and I pray that my faith is strong enough that I would die before denying that Jesus ...

When is the Sabbath?
2008-03-17 12:13:00 23% (the largest percentage) of those who responded to a poll on WorldNetDaily about which day Christians should regard as the Sabbath said “Sunday.” I was joined by only 7% who said “Any day of one’s own choosing.” Literally speaking, I don’t see how anyone could argue that the Sabbath is any other day than ...

Homeschooling is ?elitist and anti-democratic??
2008-03-17 01:02:00 The recent ruling in California has gotten people talking about homeschooling. I have nothing but respect for parents that homeschool. I will definitely consider it as an option for my own children someday.

Obama?s America-hating pastor
2008-03-16 13:34:00 I’m glad that Obama has condemned his pastor’s controversial statements, but Joseph Farah is right: If your pastor was saying stuff like that, would you stay in that church? Would you have your children baptized there? I certainly wouldn’t. “We believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.” “We ...
