    If We Are Born Sinners, Then Why Can't We Be Born Gay?

    This is what always bothered me when I was a christian. This simply makes no sense. Some sins are far worse than others. period. If a child is raped and murdered, it is much more of a sin than thinking lustfully about a woman, plain and simple. I also can't "love" a god that supposedly...

    If We Are Born Sinners, Then Why Can't We Be Born Gay?

    There is not much of a point in arguing this topic. The believers will stick to their guns, and the others will try to convince them otherwise, to no avail. The problem I have with debating these things is the believers quote the bible as proof that the bible is truth. This is the most basic...

    On this Fourth of July, Thomas Jefferson is weeping

    You are absolutely correct. I got over the founding fathers long ago. I even hate the term "fathers". There is even evidence that shows the possibility of the constitutional convention was a sort of coup. The convention was supposed to amend the articles, that was their purpose. But...

    What can your President do that will make you have confidence in him?

    I am not a conservative, in any stretch of the imagination. I am also not a liberal, or progressive. Maybe what I want him to do might help express my viewpoint. He should close the entire Federal Government down. If he did that, I'd have a lot of respect for him. I don't mean overnight...

    Legalize all drugs

    Prostitution should be legal too. Prostitution was very common in early american life. You should check out the book "A Renegades Guide to American History". It is a very good book, and had historical examples of how legal prostitution improved the safety of prostitution. It was also one of...

    Legalize all drugs

    I have tried amphetamines, and yes I would want them legalized. I've never tried Meth, but there are many different amphetamines. Every person that takes a drug for their "ADD" is in fact, taking amphetamines, often Dextro-Amphetamine, which is similar to Dexadrine. Dexadrine was used in the...

    T.S.A. Expands Duties Beyond Airport Security

    I'm not sure that opinion is on the fringe. There are a large amount of people that don't like what the US foreign policy is. But that doesn't matter, the politicians will do what they want. When they say "US interests abroad" they really mean, their interest, not the peoples interest.

    US releases prisoners from Guantanamo

    They didn't mention whether they were proven to be taliban did they? There are many people in that place that were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Many people there were scooped up for reward money, and were never charged with any crimes. You may be right that these guys might get...

    Glee's Cory Monteith dies of overdose

    It seems counter intuitive, but it seems to be the reality. When drugs are no longer illegal, people tend to not care about them as much. Teenagers don't see them as a method of rebellion, and see them like many do tabacco today, disgusting and dangerous. The drug problem is not a criminal...

    XKeyscore: NSA tool collects 'nearly everything a user does on the internet'

    Really??? You trust the state more than you trust facebook and google? I can understand not trusting facebook and google either, but trusting them less than the state seems strange....... The goveernment can use the data to ruin your entire life. Either by shooting you with the guns they...

    Glee's Cory Monteith dies of overdose

    There is also a case to be made that people are more open to seeking help. When people aren't as ashamed about their addiction they are more likely to seek help. The opposite is true during prohibition. People are ashamed, and refuse to seek help because it would alert their friends and family...

    Glee's Cory Monteith dies of overdose

    This fear is unfounded. And there is plenty of evidence to refute your fear. In area's where drugs are not so taboo, safety is better, and use does NOT increase. Directly after legalzation, you may see a bump in use. But the same amount of people will use when its legal. You may have people...

    Glee's Cory Monteith dies of overdose

    There are multiple reasons why legalization could have prevented his death. Here is the most compelling one in my opinion. When things are prohibited, especially drugs, the quality standard varies widely. For this reason, one batch could be incredibly weak, while the next one, from the same...
