I believe in God, I have never been to a Church in my life except for weddings, funerals, and one or two special occasions.


I believe that all books are written by man and, regardless of the inspiration or dictator of whatever book, and especially over thousands of years, a significant amount of hyperbole can permeate a text.

I believe in the theory of relativity, evolution...


Do you believe in Quantum Entanglement? Copenhagen Interperetation? Any of the Various Many-Worlds theories? What about Tabula Rasa? Spontaneous Generation? Cold Fusion?


Do you believe the Earth is flat?

At any point in history there are "Scientists" that come up with all sorts of facts as "proof" that theory x exists. This happens so much that they make a point of telling us in grade school that Theories are not "proven".

Yes there are facts and experiments that come along undoubtedly proving that say, Spontaneous Generation is incorrect. But how do we know at this point in life that our current theory of life creation is 100% correct? How do we know in 10 years that all of the sudden the greeks were right about the Aether?

Scientific theories come and go, and are proven and disproven, and God has stood through every one.

No, I don't believe you should force your religion on someone.
Yes, I believe that the Bible in whatever originality it was has been adultered by commercialization, zealots, and misguided individuals.

And yes I still believe in God.

Do I have any scientific proof? No

It's just an instinctual feeling. Do you have any proof that he 'doesn't' exist? If taken just the bare facts of his existence and management of us from the bible and nothing else, we would never comprehend it anyway.

You're supposed to rule according to the law that is law, not according to the law that the judge or anyone else "gives you"

Both the Defense and Prosecuting attorneys will bring up laws relevant to the case and you can pretty much assume that they will be correct because they would argue.

The Judge gives very clear instructions and it usually requires no interpretation of the law by you whatsoever....

Usually in the case of a murder trial it involves returning Not-Guilty if you have any reasonable doubt.

When you go through Jury Selection in Florida they both ask if you have a problem swearing an oath via religion or other means, and have you also sign a legal document with details like silence clauses, etc. that are special to that case. It is on this grounds that they charge you for contempt of course if you all of the sudden decide you don't want to play ball.

I;m just an ultra noob....so something cool I like my goat xD So maybe something to deck him out

I remember a couple of years ago some tabloid possibly TMZ had poster her with the tag line "Most likely to die by the end of this year Award" or something like that. >.>

I've sat here for about an hour now trying to come up with a good response to this and I hope I can be conclusive here. From a musicologist perspective, this is an expected and natural movement. You have something the children like = it will become popular. This is not a thing unique to the United States or Western European countries at all. India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Korea have all gone through this phase of modernization where older styles of music are being replaced by what we as adults (or near-adults) are labeling as weird, poppy, or crap. It is not America going down the drain, it us going in a new direction.

This movement of new music being shunned talked about poorly is not so new at all. In the 50s when John Cage walked out on stage to a piano and did absolutely nothing (read: silence) for 4' 33" there were reactions almost exactly to what you've seen here, people walked out, said it was crap, etc. This represented a movement of music that to the ear sounds weird or disconcerting but in reality has solid background that is like a puzzle to be uncovered.

But that is a digression.

The point there is that he's not going away because our children love him. Not only that, Americans love the underdog story, plucked from YouTube obscurity by famous rapper scout and thrust into the limelight. Cinderella, Cinderella Man, Cinderella Dog, etc. It's neither strange nor unusual.

The other point I have to make is this;

Not only has the general touring life proven detrimental to the average person. It has also proven so to children as well. Michael Jackson, the Partridge Family, Mozart, and other child acts have had a habit of ending up in weird situations due to their lifestyle.

The vocals are unhealthy. No child should be made to sing in a stressing manner before they hit puberty, as it will negatively impact their voice later on. This is why boy choirs and children's choirs always sing simple arrangements and stay with in a very narrow range. His success has sprouted other child acts that you can easily YouTube or see on shows like America's Got Talent, of young kids trying to belt out Mariah Carey, Beyonce, or some other screamer act (which even they have trouble doing repeatedly).

Autotune feigns a lot, it sounds more or less alright, and allows the singer to pretty much speak into the microphone. That twangy frog sound is not a good one for people will try and mimic.

This might be a little hyperbolic and over-worrisome, but in my world where I get kids under 16 every year who spent the summer trying to record themselves in video or tape and they have to sit out for four weeks because they've croaked their voice it is a definite problem.
