Still a bit of a bummer.

Nothing that can't be fixed with a new constitution.

It's the road up to Sarukura, one of the start points for hiking up to Mt. Shirouma. I'm not 100% sure but for the first month or so after it opens they only allow public transport up there (Buses/Taxis). There is a nice onsen (Obinata no yu) up there). There is a lodge at the end of the road (summer only), but no hotels above the "G"

Betty When did you move to Hakuba?

Only 165 with mine in the UK. It's easy to fine my families phone numbers in NZ as all you do is enter the name (no area etc needed) and they all pop up on the first page.

Sorry about that. But I stand by what I said. FP is great for organizing sites as it has and easy to use interface, and when used with the server extensions you get a lot of simple functionality. (But it does write funny code ) As Bobby says, Most web hosts do provide a set of applications for designing webpages but most are quite simple. On the other hand many now have very good control panels that let you set up many parts of your site your self. If you are going with windows then you may want to get a host with win2003 server and a plesk control panle as I've found then ver

If you are using WYSIWYG then something that controls the whoe website and automatically updates links etc as you change the site. MS Frontpage is good for this, but produces some funny code. If you have a webserver with the FP server extensions intalled, it adds a lot of simple funtionality to the site (forms, databases etc). If you really want to go beyond a simple site, then 2-3 different programs are useful for editing pages (but keep the main control under 1 program). Marcomedia products are good for a range of applications (menus etc).

Thunder Agree with you about arts etc, but have to agree with spud about the commandments. 1 basically rules out most of the human race. How can this be valid? 2 means I cannot listen to SMAP (damn it) 3 For god's sake, what's this about? 4 not to sure what I can and cannot do 5-10 are basic social contracts needed to live in a civilised society. Hence they are common throughout the world. I agree existence is a miracle, but one that be explained by science (except the absolute origin).

Sure does. And I have no problem with anyone who has faith. It's what they do with it that scares me. The religous right is becoming and increasingly strong lobby group and exerting an undue influence on decision makers in the USA. Combine this with a republican congress, and a cabinet just to left of Hitler, and we are up the creek. One of the great things about the US was it's system of checks and balances. If a republican wins the next presidency, then the Supreme Court will also become a bit of a worry. Scary shite indeeed.

Kintaro, What bothers me is that many people are unwilling to have a frank discussion on religion. To state your opinion strongly makes you seem intolerant. The issue has also become bigger then the mormons knocking on your door. The US has a religious zealot in the White House, who operates with the total conviction that his faith based decisions are best for all. His oath of office was to uphold the constitution, but his term has seen the removal of some of the basic tenents of it. I also believe the rise of evanglical christiainity in the US is equally as dangerous as the Islamic fu

That's amazing. Brisbane is no 1 for beastialty followed by Tampa. Auckland is in the top ten but there's bugger all sheep. Must be why thye need to get it off the internet.

What was the book?

I can understand their arugments about the absolute origins of the universe. It is the something out of nothing argument, which has no logical explanation as we know it. However if there was one all powerful creator, he sure picked a funny way to start things off. Could have done a little better. This is your fault anyway. I think it was you who put me on to torrents, and I've been downloading documentary after documentary ever since. I'm now a 9/11 conspriacy theory buff and interested in religion.

How the world become a worse place. George Bush only has a year or two left. He can't f__k it up too much more in that time.

BP: I'm not sure how Francis Collins justifies it, but the 2 (and I'm limiting this to Christianity, as I know bugger all about any other religion), are inherently mutally exclusive. One follows the gradual development from single cell organisms to what we have to day, while the other claims the presence of a creator who is responsible for everything. I can't see how they can be compatible.

Me Jane: Many people think morality comes from religion, but I prefer to think it is part of human nature, as are all the points Rag-Dolls lists, as well as compassion, hope, love, devotion, compromise.... Religion has been a nessessary tool of the last 2000years as a means to explain the universe. We are beyond that now, as science has given us evolution (among others)as a means to explain how we go to this point. The quote in the sig. (though not exact) comes from Steinberg I think. I think it means that there are always going to be good people and bad people (genetics/up bringin

Travelling with kids is gonna be a nightmare. The only reason we caved in and bought them Gameboys was for the long haul flights. That and a computer that plays DVDs kept them sane.
