Aha! Thanks, MarsMan. Will check that book out next time I'm at the library.

I submit that it's our unique line of experiences from birth, combined with the unique mix of chemicals that constitutes our body. 2 unique combinations that will never again be repeated in nature. Neat question. Despite all the chemical changes our bodies will go through as we grow old...

Question, question, question. That's what led me to my current beliefs. Which, in fact, I still do question.

You know what's great about being a sadist? You can enjoy angering vegetarians by eating meat. Seriously, I agree with Sensuikan. In fact, I think it would be foolish or at least a little naive to believe that someone has higher moral character just because of their dietary habits.

I tacked on a poll, as long as this subject is being brought up again.

Slooooow down here. Let's not let this get out of hand, lest a good thread gets locked for dumb reasons. Btw, all this news just seems to be a bunch of saber-rattling and dick wagging to me. Oh yeah, didn't someone make a poll concerning a possible U.S. move against Iran before?

Not at all..... Yes, have some.

I was prompted to ask this question after I saw an act by Russel Peters, who successfully mocked every different racial category there is. It reminded me of Delirious, by Eddie Murphy. (Back when he was still funny.) Personally, this kind of humour doesn't bother me. It might be my...

Nope. I was making the point that what I view as the downfall of education coincided with the suburbanization America. Never mentioned or hinted that America was perfect before that time. I whole heartedly disagree. I never said it wasn't! This is actually an entirely different issue I'd...

This problem originated a long time ago. When Americans gave up being citizens and became "consumers." I pinpoint the start of it as the suburbaniztion of the United States. After that got the ball rolling, its all been downhill. I suggest ANYONE pick up a copy of "The Geography of...
