Do you really suspect that 9/11 was an inside job? I'd have to disagree on that. Even the infamous Noam Chomsky, the classic anti-american, disagrees with the "truther" position. He does not claim that the Bush Administration was not capable of such an atrocity, theoretically, but disagrees that the administration ...
Perhaps you are more of a paleoconservative, in lines with Ron Paul. He's one my favorite politicians. He's a non-intervensionist and pro-state's rights and against the burgeoning federal government and executive branch. His positions are abused by the Tea Party, and he hasn't distanced himself from those idiots. The Tea ...
I just read I, Robot. Isaac Asimov is my favorite SF writer. I'm sure you appreciated the ending with the machines deciding that humanity would better be an agrarian or perhaps hunter-gatherer society. Not that it is determined whether the machines truly decide this but is seems to fit well. ...
The hysteria over pedophilia is astonishing. Not that you are even pedophile. Rachel was 14, a biological adult. Technically you may be an ephebophile, or attracted to young pubescent girls. But those are all social constructs. Adolescence is just an artificial construct to repress young adults. There are theories that ...
I read about the Oneida Community. I wouldn't use it as a great example of free love living. It really was a means for men to have free sexual access with any woman they wanted. I read a diary entry of a woman there, that was unaware of her sexual ...
KJV Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. KJV Leviticus 18:29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. I'm afraid these Ugandans are well within their scripture. Any ...
I don't believe internationally-backed NATO-led bombing of Libya, and the current situation in Iraq count as wars. It's really just one big war, The War on Terrorism. It's foolish to call us a Christian nation. We are a secular nation, whose very existence and wealth requires force to preserve the ...
The Left and the Right are the same thing. The Left is full of shit, and only care if they are in power, then everything is okey-dokey, even if nothing's changed. The Right is pretty honest about their intentions. The thing is their intentions are terrible. Obama can keep engaging ...
I don't know what you think is so great about Miley Cyrus. She's not even that good-looking. She's legal in all great fifty states, so I don't see how anyone is a hypocrite for ogling her.
Life on the outside is just as bad, but there are a few things out here that are nice to be able to indulge in. What's your problem with currency? Without it, how would we function, how would we value the worth of a thing? A gift economy at this ...
I don't understand the criticism of the Catholic Church. It is a religious group whom has the freedom of belief. If the believers of such a group decides that they do not want to give out condoms, why should they? The Bible condemns all sex outside of an appropriate marriage ...
I'd have to agree with your thoughts on the Royal Wedding. It was the most ridiculous media spectacle I've seen in some time. By what right is this man a prince? I looked at his family tree and out of the thousands of people that can claim direct descendecy from ...
In regards to the Tea Party, they are full of shit. All they are a bunch of old racist, neo-conservative, liars. They don't care that their taxes are too high, they care that Blacks and Latinos are recieving social benefits. Nevermind that the defense budget is 20% of the national ...
I have to agree on every point you made about repealing DADT. I don't understand LGBT groups that spent so much capital on the issue. Typically, these groups are to the left, so why should they want to fight in the oil wars? I guess it is due to the ...
That is the problem with the underclass in America today. They can't afford basic necessities. In some countries you can live fat off just a few thousand dollars a year. In America, you can have a hard time getting the necessities with 15,000 dollars a year.
I thought it was rather good too. It's the last hand-drawn Disney movie to be made, I hear. Mikhaela and Abram thoroughly enjoyed it as well. It's good for kids to be exposed to some diversity when they are young, because it seems to me children are the most racist ...
Obama comes off to me like some kind of socialist pretender puppeted around by forces greater than he. That hope poster was modeled after Che Guevara, the good he did to Cuba. Sure healthcare and education is alright but what about press freedom, political expression, and the such. The Left ...
What's the point of being illiterate and eating hand to mouth. The world's going to die anyways. Nuclear War, Global Warming, Overpopulation will do us in, but either way the Sun will die and we will die. We should at least accomplish something before we pass.
