Is Matt Kemp The Best, Most Complete Five-tool Player Since A Young Barry Bonds?
The term “five-tool” seems blurry for many people, so I think we need to lay down a good, concrete definition of it. A five-tool player, according to wikipedia, is, and I quote, “one who excels at hitting for average, hitting for power, base running skills and speed, throwing ability, and fielding abilities.”
Using that definition, that would rule out Alfonso Soriano (because of his poor batting average), Ryan Braun (because of his fielding ability), and Ken Griffey Jr (because he was never a threat on the base-pads, ever).
Now, one could contend that a young A-Rod who had a 40/40 season, while hitting for a .311 batting average and displayed great glove-work is a better five-tool player than Kemp. However, I think Kemp’s stats and “tools” last season were more well-rounded than those of A-Rod.

Is Science Not, Fundamentally, As Subjective As Religion At It’s Core?
I see a lot of people openly criticising religion, saying how there’s no reason to believe, it can’t be proven etc etc. You know the drill. I’m frustrated by these idiots because they ultimately place that ‘rationality’ by the reason of science – ie. God did not create the world, but the big bang instead occurred. I personally sit on the fence and do not assume either to be the truth; yet so many seem to think, by this suggestion (or theory) of the big bang, God cannot possibly exist.
Do not get me wrong. I understand that the events of the bible, the existence of a God, are infinitely harder to prove than the existence of molecules in the air around us. I understand that there certainly is SOMETHING in the air we breathe, yet I do not know for sure what it is or how it came to be. But I am also not a scientist. Neither are the fools I see dismissing other’s beliefs in God as if they were there at the alpha and omega of existence itself.
Science, and the understanding science gives to us, are things based at their core entirely on theories. God is, too, a ‘theory’. Let us quickly assume the Marxist viewpoint that Christianity is a tool beneficial to the capitalist system – many use these ‘facades’ of religion as an example to explain why God cannot possibly exist. Yet there is minimal correlation between the use of Christianity in a single format of society with the wider existence of God. Again, we can suppose that certain bourgeoisie groupings (if not all of them) have, in the past, and may continue to, manipulate religion in the masses to benefit their personal gain. However, under NO circumstances can this rationally and logically be used to disprove the existence of a God. And this rationality and logicality brings me back to science (and as a side note, the hypocrisy in the irrationality in attempting to use this argument to explain God is not real). It is a subjective matter.
Similarly, science is a set of theories, not dissimilar at all to something such as Sociology, albeit a far more subjective science (pardon me, social science). The idea of gravity, that an apple may fall from a tree, a natural occurrence, was a theory based on the observations of a single man at one point in time. The observation that an individual from a poorer background may be more likely to turn to crime is again a specific idea that became a theory, cemented in beliefs and ideas – just like science.
Theories and ideas evolve, they grow in their fan base and followers, paradigms change to fit understandings that correlate to the progression of society. This is sociology, this is science, and this is religion.
Everything we know and understand, everything we reason with, has stemmed from an initial individual’s conception of how a thing works. What we understand gravity to be and work as, through science, may in a century, be proved entirely illogical and not at all what humanity once thought it to be. And I guarantee that long after I’m dead, even in this ‘post-modern’ society where growth and change is more exponential than it’s ever been before, scientific and rational answers – theories – will be proven wrong.
So, to loop back round – I’m not saying God exists. And similarly, I am also not saying that science necessarily exists in the way so many people think it does. Those that claim God’s existence has been negated by the reason of science – this is due to a failure to never question what they are told. The same thing is to be applied to the proletariat who we see throughout recent history being exploited by the upper class through their societal application of religion.
There is no one certain truth. And I certainly include the mammoth monopolisation of science under that umbrella. Therefore, to call a Christian a fool is to call oneself a fool also. Perhaps we should ultimately be less concerned with persecuting people for their personal beliefs when the notion they are wrong is an entirely unprovable personal belief of our own? Or, have I misunderstood it all?
China’s Emergence As The Economic Giant Will Result In A Protectionist West ?
.
Protectionism will be inevitable?
China has already discovered the large economic returns that are possible through operating within this open market system.The WTO provides the Chinese with multilateral trade principles and dispute settlement mechanisms that should be a huge attraction to Chinese leaders because they offer tools with which to defend against the threats of discrimination and protectionism.

I need to read this, but it’s somewhat unreadable (because there’s no fathah, dhommah, etc) it’s just plain. I’m not looking for this to get translated, but I want someone to be able to put this into romaji… like… i.e I want it to be “Bismillahirahmanirrahim” instead of “in the name of God the most merciful the most compassionate”
so yeah, you get the gist of it… now could anyone pls write it down on HOW to read it…? Thank youuu
Minecraft Lag Issues And Memory Usage?
I have been playing MC for about 7-10 months ,and havent had this issue with lag that I now have. My computer isnt amazing has about 1200 ram and a 1gig geforce 8600. Single core dell running xp. And I played fine before , offline and online. Only the occasional normal lag from it loading blocks.
Now I cant even play on my clans server even when its 3am and Im alone. I lag ever 3 seconds , big spikes . So I tried offline…samething. What the heck. I dont have any mods other than texture pack Dokucraft that I have used since i started playing and rei’s minimap.
Its getting to the point I cant even play which sucks.I defrag my computer every week , run scandisk and have malware and antivirus scans regularly and a registry repair tool.
I ran everything lastnight thinking today I could play some and even freed up some more space on my computer … but no lag is just as bad. Any ideas? I turned down settings and everything.
I also noticed it using 200k memory while its running , I dont know what the norm is but that seems alot. But Im also not a computer pro so I dont know.
Am I Gold Digger Wife? 10 Points?
When husband is kissing,cuddling,making girl sit on his lap while he showed off his wedding ring,thrashing colleague for sleeping around and affairs with her in 06, 08 and 11,sexually harassing women, verbally abusing them.,sexual relationships with other women,before and after marriage,guy did drugs but didn’t even help him only called the ambulance when he overdosed and stopped breathing yet she married him even her mom encouraged her, and the guy was known as a jerk before he got married and after marriage he portrays the image of a family man,, is it possible for a wife to be like this provided her husband is extremely good looking, very successful and well known and very wealthy and comes from a well known family as well.His job has him out of home a lot.
His wife is always asking her friends to take her pictures or is clicking her own pictures.
She posts pictures making strange faces,sitting on the bed and making strange faces with her friends,then wearing sunglasses,sitting in the stadium,wearing gaudy clothes and getting pictured and taking her own pictures always wearing heavy makeup.
This woman has no problems with her hubby cheating,is always smiling,with her girlfriends and is so vain that she just keeps taking her photos and sells them to website makers on facebook and is also heard to be crying about her Louis Vuitton bags while he goes on sleeping around.
She goes to watch her hubby perform but once ,when he was approaching the bleachers( to pick some some tools) ,where she was standing,she quickly moved away seeing him come near her.And once more when both of them had to pose with their daughter on their child’s birthday,the husband was holding the child by the arms but this woman didn’t put her hand near him at all.She was busy with her friends while this guy sat alone among his daughter’s little friends.And in the public they kiss and through twitter act as such a perfect happy family.
This woman has a three and half year old child but mostly she’s out with her girlfriends all the time taking photos ,the photos of the foods she cooked ,when they were on vacation she did not post her daughter’s or husband’s photo except when my cousin asked her to click a photo of him kissing his daughter on the cheek,and she posted her own photo.
She used to attend celebrity parties while the daughter was still a baby even though she wasn’t even needed.
She always remains cheerful and smiling.Going to star studded parties,festivals and restaurants,expensive vacations to exotic locales.
Recently she started doing makeup for her friends (some makeup business) and after the makeup is done she clicks pictures of herself mostly and the client and sometimes clicks pix of her daughter and puts up to her site!
She always attended the glamorous functions,this year was the company’s biggest celebration but i heard that since she didn’t have a glamorous dress to wear she didn’t come
She also get accolades by my admirers for staying with unstable person like him because sometimes his cheating isn’t discreet.
One thing,if she was unloved, unhappy and tired she would divorce him but she doesn’t.No unhappy woman who is cheated on for years can be LIKE HER.
So opinions only on wife???
Should I Use Wood Stain, Spray Paint, Or Paint To Redo A Coffee Table That Has Already Been Painted?
Last year I painted an old coffee table white, and I’ve now redone my room and want the coffee table to be turquoise. It’s a real wood coffee table that had been in rough shape, and I sanded it down, primed it, then painted it with extra white paint we had lying around. It doesn’t look fantastic, but it’s okay. Anyway so now I’m wondering if I can put wood stain on top it since there’s already paint, or if I should just repaint it with another paint or use spray paint.
I don’t have the tools needed to just strip it back down to its original state. It’s going in my room (and i’m a teen) so it doesn’t have to look professional but it would be nice for it to look somewhat decent. Please tell me what paint or stain to use.
How Can I Get With This Guy? Idk If He’s Gay?
There’s this guy I really like in my HS, he’s a senior like me. He’s really hot and muscular and nice. anywho, I have developed a crush on him. At lunch, he sits with the other basketball players. I see him always hugging his guy friends very passionately, but idk if they’re just messing around. I also have him for a class, and he blows kisses to his GUY friend across the room. And I rarely see guys smack his a$$ and him playing along with it and smacking theirs too. And on facebook and twitter, he’s declared his love for his group of guy friends. I also have heard stories that he does gay-ish things in the basketball lockeroom but again, idk if all of this is for play. I am determined to have sex with him but idk how.
