    Politcal Spectrum Test

    Left social libertarian Left: 5.37 Libertarian: 6.68 Pretty well what I expected, honestly. I find it interesting, I have really fell harder and harder left over the last several years.

    Show me the curve.

    But it is not an exception. It is pretty well seen in most all planets and "spheroid" bodies in our solar system. Saturn being the most dramatic at over 11,000km (flattening ration of roughly 1:10, versus earth's ration of 1:298). It is a result of physical force of rotational energy, causing...

    I found some horrible books in my sons room, and I have no idea what to do.

    Coming from a person who has actually read the book (series, actually) mentioned: -The author does include sex scenes. (Gay sex scenes, obviously, as the OP pointed to) -And some swearing. And some alcohol use. -The mother joining an anti-gay religious group is a big part of a side-plot in the...

    "Many Young Adults Are Turning To Witchcraft As A Way To Rebel"

    Great! I'll have that stuck in my head for the rest of the day now... *Goes around singing it under my breath the rest of the day*

    A Morality Experiment

    I would argue we aren't that many steps from it - we pay people to donate blood, plasma, etc. We DO have a black market for organs already. Scary, but maybe for for thought on the current situation?

    A Morality Experiment

    Well...sad fact of life -especially when it comes to organ transplants- shortages are an issue. Be that budget for experimental procedures, or direct shortage of replacements. If there are 3, there are three. To be honest, even if we said there were a hundred, we can always expand the list of...

    "Many Young Adults Are Turning To Witchcraft As A Way To Rebel"

    I have to be honest and admit that every time I hear something about witches and black magic and the like...I picture the scene from Adams Family Values of Grandmama cursing Debbie with a skull, then handing it to her and blowing a kiss as she leaves. That...or the "witch shop" owner I talk to...

    "Many Young Adults Are Turning To Witchcraft As A Way To Rebel"

    That's heresy! Though, I'm with you on the mead. And salad can be good, depending on how it is made. Still...well-done. *shudders* I like my cow practically moo-ing upon taking a bite.

    Show me the curve.

    They actually aren't round globes, the issue is that without pretty good measurement, they will look so. Planets are oblate, due to physical phenomenon caused by the rotation about an axis, which causes the equator to be of a greater radius than the poles. But it is a fairly small difference...

    What's your favorite Kitchen Appliance?

    I find that recently I have stopped using most of my more technological kitchen gadgets, and relied pretty heavily on my more primitive ones. My knives and my mortar and pestle have become big parts of my kitchen usage. Or my wok. And those get a lot of love from me - both in terms of usage and...

    "Many Young Adults Are Turning To Witchcraft As A Way To Rebel"

    Good news to me, witchcraft shops tend to have some of the best incense, candles, herbs, and teas. And there are just not enough good ones around, maybe this will shore up the numbers. (My local one has great teas and incense...but they are the "white witch" and "we're just spiritual" type. The...

    17 y/o son is a druggie, what do I do?!

    Diane? Didn't they, via autopsy, confirm she actually wasn't on drugs at all when she died? Pretty sure, despite what his immediate reaction was after the incident, it was ruled a suicide. But I would also guess the "no one has died on an LSD overdose" comment meant dying directly from the LSD...

    Four out of Ten American Youths Never Read Any Books

    That's...an understatement based on what I have seen. Ritalin is closely related to amphetamines, Adderall IS amphetamine, and the less seen Desoxyn (knew a couple folks in college that were on it) is METH. They are very strong stimulants, also used to keep narcoleptics from falling asleep and...

    Friends of Opposite Sex staying the night

    I don't think there is anything wrong with that. You aren't sleeping in the same bed, you aren't sexually together (or even close to that, from what you have said). I can't see why simply staying the same house sometimes would be an issue.

    Four out of Ten American Youths Never Read Any Books

    I wonder that too. I mean, in college, I read a LOT. Some for fun, but some semesters I barely had time to read the required materials, let alone extra fun reading. I had one class that required us to read 9 or 10 novels and a collection of poetry in one semester [on top of four other classes...

    Four out of Ten American Youths Never Read Any Books

    That's sad. Personally, I read as often as I can. Most recently read The Stranger then reread The Plague by Camus, a compilation of short stories by Proust, articles in some of my older (but new to me) Wine Spectators, and did some light research on wood choice in a nice illustrated Big book of...

    Mississippi considers firing squad as method of execution

    Electrocution last used in the US in Virginia in 2013. Firing squad was lost used in 2010 in Utah. And gas in 1999 in Arizona. And hanging in 1996 in Delaware. All well after the advent on lethal injection. And electric chair, Gas chamber, and hanging are still choices for death row inmates in...

    Celibate LGBT people

    I do not believe homosexuality in and of itself is sinful. The attraction is merely a temptation. We are all tempted by something, even Jesus was tempted. Was Jesus guilty of sins when he was tempted in the dessert? I can't imagine anyone saying he was. I do agree that acting on those...

    Homosexuality & Preference Options

    There is an inherent issue with outcomes of such polls, too. That being: as non-heterosexual identity becomes less stigmatized in society, you will ultimately get a larger outcome of people willing to experiment outside heterosexual norms than in the past. This doesn't actually mean that it is...

    How to 'vet' refugees from terrorist breeding countries

    This. Of the last 16 years since 9/11, no terrorist attacks have been carried out in the US by anyone from the countries mentioned in the "ban". They have been US-born citizens (Pulse Nightclub -born to Afghani parents-, San Bernadino, etc.), or immigrants from outside these countries (like in...
