Just curious, but aren't both of these pictures of Obama?Keith, Don't fall for big Pharma hypes.
You of all people, should know better.
If it makes you big enuf, Tieguy might talk to you again.
He's got a mighty big hole to file, and you wouldn't be the first to try.
This is where I agree with the "right" ones! Serious, even the left of the far left, must agree this nobel prize reward is a joke !
I know America is large and full of power, and is a powerhouse.
But, darn, I don't care if it's Obama or Bush after 8 weeks in power. No one deserves it , without major accomplishments!
The could have given it to Merkel in Germany, or some other leader in Europe for freeing former Yugoslavia. Even Canada, for all thier peacekeeping missions.
Sorry, USA (obama), you didn't deserve this one.
Nobel peace prize will never be the same.
So, it's OK to give somebody a prize because he isn't somebody else???!!! Huh???? !!!
This should be a thread all by itself. I'm sure there would be enough posts that Cheryl would have to rent extra bandwidth.Guess Nobel isn't much worth afterall :
Nobel winner slams Bible as 'handbook of bad morals'
Mon Oct 19, 11:14 AM
LISBON (AFP) - A row broke out in Portugal on Monday after a Nobel Prize-winning author denounced the Bible as a "handbook of bad morals".
Speaking at the launch of his new book "Cain", Jose Saramago, who won the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature, said society would probably be better off without the Bible.
Roman Catholic Church leaders accused the 86-year-old of a publicity stunt.
The book is an ironic retelling of the Biblical story of Cain, Adam and Eve's son who killed his younger brother Abel.
At the launch event in the northern Portuguese town of Penafiel on Sunday, Saramago said he did not think the book would offend Catholics "because they do not read the Bible".
"The Bible is a manual of bad morals (which) has a powerful influence on our culture and even our way of life. Without the Bible, we would be different, and probably better people," he was quoted as saying by the news agency Lusa.
Saramago attacked "a cruel, jealous and unbearable God (who) exists only in our heads" and said he did not think his book would cause problems for the Catholic Church "because Catholics do not read the Bible.
"It might offend Jews, but that doesn't really matter to me," he added.

I don't understand what you mean. Please clarify, thanks.Bible Problems
What I never understood is why in the judaic/semitic based religions, prayers always end with the name of an ancient Egyptian God who happens to be King of the Gods. This custom of word usage should be no surprise as it is an ancient practice and custom probably coming with them out of Egypt when these people were known by the name of Hyksos.
There are some different hypotheses about the origin of christianity, one being that it drew a lot of it's stories and structure from some of the older religions in the middle east, like the Egyptians. I'm guessing that is what mac is referring to.I don't understand what you mean. Please clarify, thanks.
