    What do we do when the oil runs out?

    We will reach peak oil soon. Even if suddenly people realized we need to work smarter in sustaining the Earth it will take as much of that black gold as the world can afford to design, mass manufacture, and implement the tools and devices needed to generate clean energy. The huge burden of a...

    Should violent criminals be castrated?

    I don't know if anyone's called this yet.. but this sounds an awful lot like eugenics talk. (At least the question does)

    Why?

    Some will extend themselves as far as they can go to help others but odds are their help is given at the cost of your devotion. Whether or not you agree with whatever flavor of Christianity they push is usually beside the point. Some will help by regurgitating Bible verses and sage advice...

    Death Row Inmates

    Dehumanization is the first step to justifying violence and how can we do that better than taking away vital things like this? Denying someone basic human rights because they conflict with laws that aren't taking into consideration the intervening elements of why the crime was committed...

    Death Row Inmates

    The disclaimer seems to apply to every line in my statement but that one eh? I do not think of death row inmates as nonhuman. And the issue you raised with your second point, the question clearly asks whether or not the inmates should be allowed certain things. Indeed it is the subject of the...

    Country Music Star Dead at 37

    Poor girl. This doesn't deserve a web thread though. I think it's sort of invasive and unnecessary for a bunch of strangers to know anything about her death beyond the obvious things. I also haven't seen or heard about anything she did for humanity that would warrant something like this. Just...

    why should women stay virgins until they get married?

    You must not have read any of Google's scholarly articles about the media's impact on individual and cultural perceptions. You're probably one of the lucky 0.0000003% of people who are utterly unchanged by advertising, you're very lucky. /endsarcasm "Raising your kid the right way" - I'd like...

    why should women stay virgins until they get married?

    Well, I can't say this is accurate but I was under the belief that premarital sex was banned in the mainstream 'isms of the western religious sphere. Despite this many practitioners still exercise their genitals before they take their wedding vows and for a while I thought this was just a...

    Death Row Inmates

    Well hm, why should those beasts be allowed to be human? It's not like the societal and personal pressures were taken into account when the hammer fell upon whichever inmate; we've already given up on reforming criminal responses in men and women to prevent the unwanted behavior in the first...

    need help financially

    Well, I don't want to suggest something extreme but... Canada has plenty of jobs and plenty of room. I can speak only for Winnipeg and other major cities surrounding it (Selkirk, Brandon, Steinbach, Gimli) but there's always been a wealth of jobs for motivated people. I've worked in retail...

    Isn't this a bit sexist?

    Men on occasion will excrete fluid from their breasts. This law is baseless and has no place is a supposedly equal society.

    Is it Ever Okay to Kill

    It is never okay to kill. Never. The experience of being alive is the culmination of biological, chemical, and perhaps divine phenomenon. It should be a crime against existence to ever deny a body in time the experience of life. We justify the killing of others as a shearing of society of...

    Wars Getting Worse?

    War has gotten worse. Especially since war is now waged on civilian populations subversively.

    Question for any interested party: Opinion on sums over histories?

    Why are creationists so threatened by science?

    Despite the zest this current conversation has I'd like to add my input. Religion is a great thing and I admire those who can have faith, they have a manual on how to live well and a leader with whom they can confide in and trust will always keep their best interest at heart. The very...
