    What of the morals built into our bodys, the D.N.A., and the brain?

    God bless sociology

    OK, I'VE HAD IT, So I'm gonna say it... explain me this.

    Actually, the Roman Empire fell because of the rise of Christianity. And as far as stripping goes, sit down and speak with an accomplished sociologist and they will tell you that strippers and hookers serve a viable role in our society. Sure, people can argue that hookers ruin relationships...

    Thousands.....not Billions

    You know... I almost thought this was a real thread... Alright, good joke guys... Let's go grab some pizza now...

    As an atheist, why bother living?

    Well, if you've ever actually read anything of Rands outside of Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged, you would have stumbled across Rands idea of morality. She writes that morality is non-existant and we as humans should be concerned with ourselves and what we want. She makes no allowances for...

    Life's little pleasures

    That splash page in a comic book where you just stare in awe and wonder where the sense of adventure has gone from our lives... A really cheesy grilled-cheese sandwich and a glass of wine. Getting a hand-made scarf from my sister. Arguing with my mom. We're just two arrogant people who...

    24 Hours

    I'm actually tearing up right now... I'd probably smoke a couple of cigarettes, make myself a Gin and Tonic (or some Grilled Cheese and wine...) and curl up on the couch with some Comic Books and my girlfriend. I'd read them and talk about them with my girlfriend. She doesn't read them, but...

    You voted for him...

    Bush is dumb. I took my SAT's cracked out on cocaine and marijuana. I still managed to score higher than that guy. (I've since quit the drugs...) He touted his operation of an oil company as credentials to get himself into office. He bankrupted the company... Because of his policy...

    As an atheist, why bother living?

    I really hate Ayn Rand. I know that's a strong word, but I feel that her writings remove the concept of humanity from everyday life. If you are not a spiritual person, that does not remove the responsibility of being a good person. In other people is the only place I myself can truly find...

    Can Uncondistional love really exist.

    Unconditional love is impersonal. I honestly can say with my whole being, that I love everyone. I'm often disappointed by people. But I would gladly die just to make someone happy. I give as much of myself as I possibly can to all others hoping they'll do the same. It's like "pay it...

    Liberal

    I don't feel that Conservatism is as stable an idea as some people seem to think. Economically, we're screwed. People can dance around it, but our dollar is worth very little anymore. Constitutionally, the president wants to change it!!! How is that letting our government go through natural...

    Do Christians force there faith on others

    Ok then....This thread degraded rather quickly. Yes. Christians do try to force their religion on others. It can't be argued to the contrary. The moment you start to justify any type of social policy in regard to religion as insurance that your religious rights are not being infringed upon...

    Ayn Rand

    Let's see here, I DON'T WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO REDISTRIBUTE WEALTH. That is not at all the a priori perogative of a socialist movement. The goal is to level economic injustices from the playing field. People should not be restricted from attending college because their parents don't make...

    Ayn Rand

    Lifesaver, I wanted my last post to be the end of my contribution, but I really needed to say this... You speak with a level of ambiguity I had previously only thought fictional characters capable of... How will it make poor people poorer? How is living an affluent lifestyle while others...

    Liberal

    Just my take... Welfare vs. Individualism Being a liberal myself this is a touchy spot. I am entirely empathetic to the idea of personal control...which is why I don't feel that welfare should be just another tax added to our pay checks. The fact is we as a country have more programs and...

    Ayn Rand

    Loans are all fun and good, if you can get them. And for reasons I'm not going to discuss, I can't. I'd rather not give you details, lest it be considered a "sob" story. My final input. Socialism is about justice. Capitalisms invisible hand is nothing but the consumer greed our country is...
