    Nothing what...we didn't come from nothing, so why would there be nothing afterward.

    If you are an annihilationist, then your presuppositions on creation are that we are evolved from chemical chaos, chance and time. The question is where did the chemicals and all preceding them come from? You cannot have both.

    Even if I were to agree that we are just chemicals bouncing around in some type of orderly fashion, then after you "die," there cannot be "nothing," because by definition your chemical makeup just changes.

    Death makes no sense to the evolutionist except as an advancement of evolution (survival of the fittest means something has to die or move out of the way correct?); death is just a way to describe when our chemical processes which appear to make us alive degrade and erode to the point they don't function any longer in a manner recognizable as life.

    Again, you cannot have "death" and evolution.

    Ashton seems to be one of the few Hollywood people that has his head on straight.. He has made a few speeches trying to motivate young people to make their own life rather than mooch off the government. His movies are entertaining but sometimes stupid. I'm surprised he can even hold a job in Hollywood with his beliefs.

    Condolences on the loss of a parent. I've been there twice now. I think about my dad every day still.
    If the USDA needs to be that well armed, it is likely connected to Agenda 21. Like the law enforcement in S. Carolina being asked if they were willing to use weapons against citizens to enforce Agenda 21. They are not fighting a foreign enemy, they are meant for us. Private property is in the crosshairs.

    stormi, good point. when I'm not so embroiled in a parent passing, I am going to figure that part out. clearly he is a huge influence and gets it....hmmm. first, I have my call out to my former babysitter boss, Tom Vilsack, to weigh in on the sub machine guns the USDA seems to need. constant juggling...

    Thanks for the link, I had not seen that side of him. He does seem to have a lot on the ball, and obviously understands investing, at least as far as techs. He still seems somewhat immature, but, hey, it is Hollywood. I like his honesty when he talks about the established political/business kickback link. Gutsy of him to put it out there. I hope they never corrupt him and take him to the dark side. Maybe it is his early work ethic that makes him different for his profession. His comment in the original post that got me was his comment that he never felt any job was beneath him - very cool. Why can't they teach respect for work in the school systems now days!

    It's obvious how this young man differs from that young punk from Canada, Justin Bieber.

    Wow, I always dismissed him, based on his work, as just Demi Moore's former boy toy. He really does reason and think. I am not sure he is living it all in Hollywood, as his product is not that great, but his thinking is good. His three points are right on the mark. If he can get that message across to young people, that will be his success, perhaps. In comparison, Bieber is NOT sexy, minimally talented, and just obnoxiously narcissistic in the airhead way. .

    Wow!
    Who would have thought it?
    Now, if he could only make a really good movie.
