Another problem with the far left/right is that they tend to be out of line with the majority of people (especially moderate "swing voters"), and there are a lot of labels waiting for them. For example, a far-righter is a fascist nazi KKK racist evangelical nut job, and I am a crazy atheist godless pinko commie pothead. <TD class="mb-Body-Quote-Text"

3.Made a decision to turn thinking over to moderates so we can understand life. Why is it that moderates are better than everyone else, and people on the far left/right are worse?

I'm Canadian and I don't view the Queen (current or otherwise) as my Queen for three reasons. 1. Hereditary titles are a steaming load of bullshit. Why are the Windsors any better than my family? 2. That family is so inbred and messed up they could be on a reality TV show...hmmmmmmm...that gives me an idea...better write Fox... 3. I don't have a drop of British blood in me (to the best of my knowledge

If your kid doesn't want porn a filter is fine. Heck after they have used the net for a while and are proficient at it no filter is even necessary. I didn't want porn or anything and the school blocked me from researching a paper on the legalization of cannabis. Damn, that pissed me off.

If no species works contrary to it's own continuity, then a 100% homosexual species can not exist, so stop worrying about it. And as far as whether homosexuality is a choice or genetic, religion isn't genetic so why don't we stamp that out?

But let me add that life was further from a utopia before colonialism began. The Africans had been enslaving, sacrificing, eating and generally massacring each other long before Europeans arrived in Africa (and in greater numbers). The Zulus are said to have depopulated their and surrounding regions by over 50%. The Cherokee here

Why is it that it is either everyone is gay or everyone is straight? If 10% of the population don't procreate, we won't end as a species. If 100% of the population don't procreate, we will. But the latter of the options is realistic, unless we all fry all of the sperm on the planet with radiation from nuclear weapons, in which case we have a lot bigger "problems" to worry about than homosexuality.

Do I count as a "right-thinking liberal"? Or am I disqualified because I think, but think differently than you. And I agree that some of our TV stations are retarded. I mean, why is Antiques Roadshow on the News channel? But I make the best of it by watching Air Farce and Corner Gas (two excellent shows that you don't get down there). I'm assuming you went to Toronto because of the solicitors. If our cities are so bad, then why did Vancouver get rated the #3 city in the wor

The best way to learn,in my experience, is to first admit you DON'T know everything. I was talking about this recently on another thingy. We not only don't know everything, we don't know anything beyondthe fact that we (meaning the person of reference, assuming he or she exists) exist in some form or a

However, I don't know that you think. In fact, you might be a figment of my imagination, and this might be all a dream. Hell, the dreams I already do have are quite realistic sometimes that if I were stuck in them, I wouldn't know them to be dreams. Exactly. I could say the same about you.

Do the details really matter as long as we learn from the mistakes of the past? I agree that the past is important, but what we REALLY need to do is focus on the future in order to make sure that atrocities like these never happen again. It's too bad our species can't seem to do that, though.

Prove you exist? I think therefore I am. I know I exist. If I didn't exist, I couldn't be pondering my own existence. Therefore I must exist in some form. For all I know, everyone else is a hologram or a robot and I am in the Matrix, but even if I were in the Matrix, I exist in some form. B

Israel is highly unlikely to sit idly by and wait for it's neighbors to develop nukes. Ironic that you mention Israel when they have the most nukes in the region. Maybe Iran doesn't want to sit idly by and allow it's neighbor to develop nukes wihtout having some nukes of their own?

how about the other 2 commandments: XI: Thou shalt not get an abortion XII: Thou shalt not let fags marry and the sixth should be rewritten: VI: Thou shalt not kill, except for convicts in Texas, niggers, fags, witches, heretics, Jews, Indians, victims of holy wars, abortion doctors, scientists (especially when they are proven right at a later date), and people who pray to a different invisible being
