Whats the point of hunting?
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...
Whats the point of hunting?
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 ...
obama or macain?
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.
Why is McCain giving up on Michigan? (ALREADY)
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...
nude or pjs?
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.
Are christians, christians out of fear???
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...
Are you eligible to vote?
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...
Favorite food?
I love good Thai food. Tom Yum soup. Rad Na, Pad Kee Mao, etc. All so yummy.
What age is the best for women to get married ?
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...
Which is better while working out?
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.
Vegatarianism
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.

Investing at 16
$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...
Investing at 16
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...
How Successful are Online Degrees?
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...
Nipples that are 3 inches long?
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.
Which candidate do you think won the 1st debate.(100.00%)
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.
Why would they go against the Speaker ?
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...
What are the benefits of a facelift
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...
Why would they go against the Speaker ?
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 ...
Atheist Symbol?
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?
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.
Murder OR Evolutionism
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 ...
Should there only be one religion?
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.
Murder OR Evolutionism(100.00%)
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...
Adam and Eve question(100.00%)
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...
What's a radical belief?
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.
People call sir to everybody
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...
What to wear to church?
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.
My ankles hurt from track training
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...
Which one is less offensive?
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 ...
Rich People and Oil Prices
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...
Can we all agree to impeach the next president if email is lost?
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 ...
Do you agree with these or are you offended(100.00%)
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...
Do you agree with these or are you offended(100.00%)
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...
What are your thoughts on abortion
Her decision will depend on her own conscience.
She could contact Planned Parenthood in her area for options.
Can we all agree to impeach the next president if email is lost?
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.
Is my hermit crab dead?
Put your crab in a cup of water. If he's alive than after a minute or two he will come out of his shell. Don't leave him in over 3 minutes or he might drown. Even if he doesn't come out of his shell keep him and try again the next day just to be saf...
Do you agree with these or are you offended(100.00%)
In my case more than half. it gets worse than that. I worked for all of my money so it was considered community property. She didn't work and almost all of her money was from inheritance so it wasn't community property. Also, in spite of the fact s...
Do you agree with these or are you offended
I've been in an unhappy marriage. I'm now in a happy one. I could see how someone who feels trapped in an unhappy one could become very cynical about the institution of marriage. Luckily there is this thing called divorce that allows you to extrica...
McCain and Obama
I'm not sure how to define victory in Iraq. In traditional war the other side offering an unconditional surrender defines victory. We didn't like Saddam Hussein. He is gone so we were victorious. We feared Iraqi WMDs, there are none so you could sa...
Why is it so hard for people to type out full words?
Long before I ever heard of the internet I was a ham radio operator. Morse code is rather slow to send so we abbreviated even more aggressively than internet chatters do.
Considering how bizarre English spelling is why be slaves to it? As long as ...
Will jogging help strengthen my knees and ankles??
Well, running puts a lot of stress on your joints. Whether it is good or bad for them depends on how your body responds to this stress. In general when a part of your body is stressed (bone, joints, muscles, even to some extent the brain) it responds...

One problem I have is that some of my daughter's friends believe they have to "save" her. I didn't want to get into the whole religion discussion with her yet but the way her religious friends have started to proselytize her I feel like I have to give...

Your doctor calls you "slightly short-sighted?" With the strength of your prescription you are a pretty extreme myope.

Someone who does not believe in any god.
There is a good documentary about this very subject. It is "For the Bible Tells Me So" I found it very informative and insightful.
