No-one - that's my point. When people die it's game over. I have no
problem with the fact that I cease to be when I die.

Try.

These corps are powerless except when people buy their products. We buy
their inferior products which gives them the money to screw others.
Simple as that.

They can be beaten but only if folks do it in numbers.

Clearly, listening to others and understanding what's being said is not
a strong point for you - let's try again.

You claim to know death = game over/cease to be. If you have not died b4
and know no one that has, then how do you know what death is? This is one of
the many things you *think* you *know*.

I know (knew) people who have died. They died and they didn't come back.

I understood your question perfectly - you said:
"So who do you know that's died b4 and told you all about it?"

And I replied as above.

I know no-one and know *of* no-one who's died and come back. Never met a
ghost, never seen evidence of ghosts. Therefore I believe death is the end.

Clear now?

Give me evidence otherwise and I'll take it into consideration - faith
doesn't do it for me.

How about you? Believe in the bogeyman?

That's better - now you admit to being a mere beleiver!

Your stating a mere beleif as a fact was always clear to me.

What rubbish! Wtf has "faith" got to do with it? So you can be a
christian or an athiest only? No other possibilities? Don't the gods love
their little christian slaves and there zombie athiests who *beleive* they
are alone in the universe - so easy to control those who think the only one
contrlling their thoughts and actions is them! And just as easy to blame
them for them too therefore!

Anyway, want proof?

I could tell you about my knowledge of gods but they'd easily be able to
make you "beleive" I was insane (of course, you'd *think* you *knew* I was
insane).

Anyway, look at the anatomy of the human body (or that of any animal for
that matter) and ask yourself a simple question - is this the fluke we call
life or is this clearly the design of other beings?

> How about you? Believe in the bogeyman?

No need to beleive in that sonny - I'm aware of the existence of far
worse and more mind bending things.

I believe it to be fact :)

Is Christianity the only religion that requires faith? Anything that
doesn't require fact requires faith. Muslim, Budhist, Christian, whatever.

If you have proof of course I wouldn't think you insane. You *know* the
Gods? Introduce me.

Fluke.

And what made you aware of these things, dad?

But in todays world licensing is handled centrally to ease the process of
incorporating series sponsors into series merchandise?

Gone are the days when everything that was trademark had to be acquired
seperately. Now its in the NASCAR contract.
