    Do men naturally visualize women naked?

    Truth is not a democracy, and science is not about subjective opinion. No scientists of any sort get together behind closed doors and decide what they think should be scientifically valid, but rather, they examine all the evidence with the assumption that the hypothesis being tested is wrong...

    Should there be a complete separation of church and state?

    That's not even close to being the same thing. Separation of church and state has to do with official proceedings, legislation, and so forth. A candidate and even an officeholder are completely free to do whatever they want religiously; the point is that they don't pass through legislation...

    Do men naturally visualize women naked?

    You make it sound as though masturbation is somehow harmful. Never mind the fact that every reputable study done on the subject has found that there are numerous health benefits to masturbation, such as less likelihood for prostate cancer in men. Also, you essentially say that getting turned on...

    I should pay more tax, says US billionaire Warren Buffett

    I sincerely hope that you are not trying to tell me that Bill the Billionaire in my example was hit harder by taxes than Joebob the Poor Guy.

    Actually, the geomagnetic shift, at the current rate of the weakening of the Earth's magnetic field, would occur around 3000-4000 AD. No biological extinctions have ever been associated with it, though technological interference similar to that during solar flares has been predicted, though I...

    Shootings are a cultural problem

    Basically. I'm not rabidly pro-gun control or anything; I'm mostly neutral on the matter. But it's pretty obvious that the intent of the Second Amendment was directed towards state militias, not individual citizens.

    Will George Bush relinquish his Presidency????

    Uh... why would there need to be special legislation to allow Bush to "become a dictator?" The President has the power under the Constitution to suspend habeas corpus, and, therefore, effectively all rights during times of extreme national emergency. Abraham Lincoln did it during the Civil War.

    I should pay more tax, says US billionaire Warren Buffett

    The reason progressive income taxes are better is because store of value increases exponentially as money increases linearly. An example is illustrated with a flat tax. Let's say we have a 20% flat income tax rate. Joebob who earns $20,000 per annum will lose $4000, and come out with $16,000...

    Shootings are a cultural problem

    In Switzerland, every citizen is also highly trained for civic service and responsibility with firearms. That's not true by any stretch of the imagination for everyone in the United States.

    Do men naturally visualize women naked?

    The only men I know who don't instinctively think sexual things when seeing a woman are gay. Also, in high-stress situations, it's typically far more prudent to focus on the situation at hand and those kinds of thoughts tend not to come up quite as much.

    Should there be a complete separation of church and state?

    "The civil Government, though bereft of everything like an associated hierarchy, possesses the requisite stability, and performs its functions with complete success, whilst the number, the industry, and the morality of the priesthood, and the devotion of the people, have been manifestly...

    Mandatory volunteer work

    Lovely. Saying "Fvck ya!" to people sure is the holy way! You sound just like Jesus. Forcing people to do volunteer work or observe a religion defeats the purpose of both. Forcing someone to observe a religion they don't necessarily believe in just turns into mindless lip service and nothing...

    Someone explain this to me...

    No, I'd probably be dead.

    Someone explain this to me...

    Being Jewish, I thought it was pretty nice when Germany apologized for the Holocaust.

    Someone explain this to me...

    Ellis Island and the idea of a melting pot are what I mean. As for verbal apologies, they're still better than nothing. Make the process easier to give equal footing.
