Poor Iceland. They have just nothing to do, so all they do is get educated, commit suicide, take a lot of drugs, and have lots of ***...at 14 (safe for work). Seriously. It's weird over there.

Iceland also like to argue over the age of consent...it seems like they aren't very sure... one person says 14, another says no it's 18 but 16 if your partenr is 18, but can not be more than 2 years older; another says no it is 14, and then the last comment says:

"The law in Iceland is quite complicated. The age is 18 but 14 year olds can have *** as long as the partner has not reached 24, making him 10 years older. So according to the law it is 18 but in fact it is 14." and if you do have *** with someone disregarding the age you can be imprisoned 12 years and sexual haraasment can get you 4 years.

oh yes, Iceland, grand Iceland.

you're telling me that Turkey has more Jesus that the US does? (Jesus being anti-evolution) We gotta make it to at least one extreme or the other... there is no middle. All that exists is the top and bottom (or left and right depending on your orientation). We can't let anybody have more Jesus than America.

please don't take me seriously.

As long as deists can skimp by with this accepted ignorance, why do atheists have to provide a better one? I think eventually we will know where the "universe" (as we know it) started, but until then, I think we should be able to say, "The universe has been around forever." The difference is that atheists are rarely satisfied with blatant absence of knowledge, like christians and other deists. Therefore, the "forever" answer is constantly being tested. That is why we have theories such as the "big bang", which, in the end, usually just wind up as lightning rods of hate, persecution, and slander. However, they are only theories, and they are generally still far more logistically plausible than many of the "truths" of the bible.

It took three hours of debating to get to this conclusion with a friend of mine. he asked me where the universe came from: I asked him where God came from. He moved his mouth like a fish a little bit, then I told him that since that question couldn't be answered, and it was kind of the key to the debate, we couldn't continue. At that point we had to agree to disagree.

He's still sore that he couldn't prove his side was correct.

Random comment concerning Iceland, isnt that where racist Bobby Fischer ended up?

**Chewie** · 09-18-2006, 11:10 PM

Yep. Side note for those who don't know him, he also happened to be THE GREATEST AMERICAN CHESS PLAYER EVER...DERN.

Lots of people are crazy racists. Not many of them have any kind of practical intelligence.

I KNOW THAT CHEWIE! I WAS a member of the national championship elementary chess team from hidden hills elementary and was a indivdual national champion in 3rd grade in the under 800 section!

On another note, the movie Searching for Bobby Fischer has almost nothing to do with Bobby Fischer. Hmm.
