Some Christians believe that every zygote magically gets a soul and that nobody should be able to have an abortion. Every time I am on a jury or testify in court I have to swear "to God" or single myself out as an unbeliever. When I was in public...
It depends on how you define God. One could look at angels and demons as lesser gods since they are supernatural beings. Christians do not look at it this way though.
I don't dislike the wealthy. By a lot of people's measure I am wealthy. I'll gladly pay more in taxes than those worse off than me. I also expect someone who makes 10 times what I do to pay more in taxes than I do. Some people call this redistrib...
National economies are not islands. They are all affected by each other. The interconnectedness is only increasing.
As a vegetarian there isn't much for me to eat at McDonalds. Taco Bell isn't great but it'll do. Their Fresco menu is even fairly healthy.
There has been a long running argument in computer circles about this. One camp believes that heat cycling that comes from shutting down your computer every evening and restarting it every day does more damage than running it all the time. I believe ...
Possibly but Democrats need a spine transplant because they haven't shown any signs of having a backbone in years.
Nicotine is certainly a drug. It has a number of physiological effects. Smokers sometimes feel euphoric from smoking tobacco. It is also highly addictive. Some heroin addicts have said that quitting cigarettes was harder than getting off heroin.
I guess I would need an example to see what sort of intolerance. A lot of Christians seem to think that their civil liberties are being trampled on if they are not allowed to force their views on everyone else. Tolerance goes both ways. Believer...
We are in a deep hole. Either candidate would have a tough time turning things around.
I quit believing in God 35 years ago. I still run into people who are sure that I just never heard it told right and that if they can have a few minutes they can convince me. Often the people trying to save me know less about the Bible, the history...
To me the term "addicted" is greatly overused. This term should be restricted to chemical addictions where our bodies become dependant on chemicals to function normally; not anything we do too much of. I wonder if eventually lazy people be describe...
As far as all the points go: Vegetarianism is not unhealthy. You can eat an unhealthy vegetarian diet or an unhealthy diet with meat. In general vegetarian diets are better than those of meat eaters and vegetarians live longer. Mankind is an omni...
I'm a vegetarian but I don't have a real problem with other people hunting. In a way I find hunting to be more honest than just buying meat at the grocery store and paying someone else to do your dirty work. This assumes the hunter is going to eat ...
I've been dissapointed too many times to take an Obama win for granted. Too many times in the past did the Democrats seem like a sure thing then self-destruct just before the election.
Candidates spend money where they think it will do the most good. If Michigan is a lost cause for McCain than why waste his time and money campaigning? Being from Michigan I keep up with the news there a bit and earlier they were saying that McCain...
I used to sleep in the nude. Now that I live with a daughter and in-laws I sleep in underwear so I don't have to grab something every time I need to get up for something.
Religion serves a number of psychological and emotional needs. Addressing fear of death is just one of them. I consider religion to be a Rorschach. When you study religion you see the fears and needs of mankind. The more you understand religion t...
Obama of course.
I'm elegible. I've voting Obama. Since I live in a backward conservative state my vote won't count. State elections are all or nothing so unless you live in a contested state your vote won't count either. Even though my vote won't matter I do b...
I love good Thai food. Tom Yum soup. Rad Na, Pad Kee Mao, etc. All so yummy.
It depends. Biologically the right answer is as early as possible. Younger women are more fertile, have easier pregnancies and deliveries, and faster recoveries from having kids. Economically the best time is probably later when couples are more est...
For building strength and size life heavy and lift to failure. Having a spotter can be a big help if you have to bail out of a failed repetition. The can also help out with forced sets.
There are different kinds of vegetarians. Lacto-ovo vegetarians eat dairy and eggs and are the most common type. Pure vegetarians eat no animal products. Vegans neither eat nor use (leather, fur, etc) any animal products when they can avoid it. P...
$1K? If you will need this money in a few years for college a 2 year CD may be your best bet. If this is extra that you won't need in the future than a mutual fund may be your best bet. If you have a particular interest in a company than you might b...
Because of the liquidity of the stock market prices are always at the point where half the investors think they will go up and half think they will go down. Unless you are sure you know more than all the experts it is a coin toss which way things will...
If you view college as a waste of time it will be. People shouldn't go to college just to go to college or because they think it will make them more successful; they should go to college because they have a desire to learn something that the college o...
I've seen women with nipples as long as their little finger. I don't know if they were natural or the result of some sort of body modification.
I don't think either candidate knocked the ball out of the park. I do think Obama did a little better though truthfully I was disappointed in his performance.
amblessed, I don't think the democrats wanted to pass the bill without a majority of republicans also supporting it. It's called CYA. If the outcome of the bailout is bad they don't want to be seen as being solely responsible for it. The way to avoi...
It stretches out the wrinkles and pulls up saggy skin. Our culture is so obsessed with youth that everyone is afraid of getting old. We dye our hair, wear wigs, get facelifts, etc. all because we want to look more youthful. What ever happened to...
About 2/3's of Democrats voted for the bailout and about 2/3's of Republicans voted against. I have mixed feelings about the bailout. I hate the way we are rushing to do something. In my experience whenever we rush to do something we usually mess ...
Several symbols have been suggested over the years. American Atheists use an atom symbol with an "A" at the nucleus. An "A" in a circle in various styles has been suggested but this is similar to a symbol used by anarchists. I like the mathema...
Starbucks isn't the greatest coffee around. They roast their coffee beans too much and now that they no longer use Pete's as their supplier the quality is not that high. Unfortunately they are often the only coffee shop around.
bimjob, even your analysis is a simplification. Individuals who survive past their child bearing age can help insure the survival of their genes. Look at societies where grandparents help raise and nurture children. They are past being able to have ...
As far as I'm considered one religion would be one too many. That said, if people are going to be religious I'd rather there be a multitude of religions. I hate for any one religion to be a monopoly.
Mankind is a social animal. We group together to pool resources for our mutual survival. Evolution does not teach "kill or be killed" it teaches "survive and pass on favorable traits." Over time our environment has been harsh enough to select the ge...
Even many Christians view the Adam and Eve story as allegorical. In Hebrew "Adam" means man or mankind and "Eve" means life or bringer of life. Ever consider that Adam and Eve could be metaphors rather than two actual individuals? Some conservat...
In this context radical means extreme our far outside of the norm. Probably my most radical belief is that anything between consenting adults should be legal including prostitution, polygamy, gambling and recreational drugs.
It depends on the situation and the relationship rather than the age. When I worked in retail every customer was sir or ma'am including kids. When I worked at a university every student was "sir" or "ma'am" until I knew their names after which th...
Depends on the church. The church my mom went to it was always "Sunday best." Dresses for women, suits for men. The church my sister goes to jeans and T shirts are the norm.
Talk to your coach. You may need different shoes or there could be some problem with your running form that is leading to your injury. In general you shouldn't train through pain. It could just be a mater of conditioning but it also might be irrever...
How often does it really come up? How often do you find yourself talking about someone's color and more importantly why? I don't often talk or think about if my coworkers heritage is Irish, Italian, German, or whatever; it isn't often germane to our ...
When you look at more socialist countries like France, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, etc. the few percent extra tax they pay really does not ruin their economy. It is true that you do not see as large disparities in wealth there but in general they pay...
My analysis is that congress didn't impeach Geroge W Bush because they are little better than he is. They worry about politics more than what is right. We have a president who believes he is above the law. This is not hyperbole, it is his and his ...
hyuyhybhyvbvbbvbgh: it seems to me you think you have things all figured out and are simply looking for someone to confirm your cynicism. If you think you know what marriage is all about than why worry about if other people agree with you? Are you in...
Life is pain. All my ex got was numbers on paper. I got my freedom and happiness. My first marriage ended badly and I blame nobody but myself. If I was a stronger man I never would of acquiesced into my predicament. Everyone has their priorities...
Her decision will depend on her own conscience. She could contact Planned Parenthood in her area for options.
There are so many reasons our president should be investigated. I hope lots of people signed Dennis Kucinich's petition to impeach Bush. Perhaps if Kucinich gets enough signatures Pelosi will quit being Bush's lap dog.
Overall I enjoyed high school but college was a lot better.
