No, if people do things that society doesn't agree with they are wrong and need to stop. You have heard of laws right? Break these and we put you in a cage. Etiquette and social decorum are just lessor laws. It used to be the case that we had parents that saw to it we obeyed these things...

WTF are you idiots prattling on about now? The only similarities between me an MissMeanGreen or what ever her name is is that we are both intelligent, articulate people who are capable of using logic. MMG is clearly British while I clearly am not - and she is more articulate than I am. Our...

Obama was elected for two reasons. 1) McCain was seen as too much like Bush. 2) He is a charismatic, well spoke, light skinned black man. There are no more reasons. Another interesting fact - this was the first election in which military service was not an issue.

Upnorth, although it was not my major, I have studied quite a bit of psychology. I am familiar with birth order and other birth cohort studies, twin studies, etc. As someone formally trained in science and scientific research, I usually like to go to the source of the study so that I may...

I think MissMeanWeed did a yeoman's job of dissecting Padawan's "argument" and demonstrating that it is nothing more that one foul after another. It should also be noted that these same tactics are used in just about all the Left wing posts I see here. Particularly common is the technique of...

I would argue one has a right to broadcast what ever one wishes throughout their own home. But, as soon as your transmission goes a single nanometer beyond your home it becomes subject to public rules. People can wrestle with the issue of who has what rights in public until the end of time...

The vast majority of Blacks disagree whole heartedly that there is any parallel between their status as minorities and that of Gays. Furthermore, they disagree that gay marriage and inter-racial marriage are in any way the same thing. Inter-racial couples fit the legal definition of marriage...

I only do it because I know it bugs you.

I am beginning to find your obsession with my posts quite flattering. How do you do it? Do you search by my screen name repeatedly or is there some kind of notification you have turned on? The post above was up for about 60 seconds before you replied. I generally follow my own threads or...

If a young boy goes swimming in a public pool and decides to pee in said pool, what harm does it do? Clearly, the pool contains enough water to dilute the pee which after all is sterile in the first place. So, why shouldn't the boy pee in the pool? The answer to this question should be...

Actually, there would be a value added tax that would tax each level of production, so in the end it would be highly unlikely that there would be enough bread to feed even just the hen.

I guess I should just accept the fact that some people have poor reading comprehension and lack the ability to grasp complex ideas.

True, we all have our own persona that we present to the world. I'm talking about people who go overboard with it. In my mind, a guy who fully identifies with being something anit-social like an outlaw biker or a gangsta is a disturbed individual. After all, we should all be able to go to...

If you aren't going to pay attention to what people say why do you bother posting. I have said repeatedly that I support civil unions that would give legal rights to gay couples. I am only against changing the definition of the word "marriage." It is entirely possible that a gay person...

Another example of the shallow thinking of the Left. Why is it not possible for a gay person to be against proposed same sex marriage? You see, that is just another typical Progressive over simplification. They believe if a man is gay, he is automatically on their side in the debate. Why...

WTF? Are you joking? "Undeniable medical findings"? What is the source of this study and where was it published? You are calling it undeniable on what grounds? What do you mean "doesn't pass muster"? And why must you make false personal attacks claiming I have a disdain for Gays...

Again, Gays can be afforded all benefits afforded to Straights through civil unions. A small minority doesn't have the right to force the majority to change the definition of marriage and forever alter its meaning. I believe the traditional definition is the best example for the society in...

That isn't what I said at all. What I'm saying is that you are understandably unaware of why your son is gay. Perhaps you son exhibited certain traits that you equated with being gay and you treated his as such, thus creating a self fulfilling prophesy. There is no way to know what the cause...

See, this is why your "logic" fails. Do you see what you have done above? You have taken two perfectly logical positions and falsely equated them with a religious appeal. Nobody except you said that something that is unnatural or an effect of environment is a "sin against nature." You...

John Locke wrote extensively about the notion that the mind is a blank slate and that our experiences paint a picture of who we are upon it. To describe how experiences affect the mind, he used the example of a still pond into which a pebble is tossed. Just as the pebble creates endless...
