    Who's right, Bush or Obama?

    Drug Decriminalization in Portugal

    Facinating subject! Just got back from a week in your lovely country today. Had to say, I did not see any drug related problems (with the exception of alcohol!), and that was mainly tourists. I have only been to Lisbon once and the Algavre a few times, but cannot say that I ever noticed a...

    Medical Care

    The new Brüno movie?

    Looking forward to it. Its predecessor Borat was great fun. What those who get offended don't realise is that we who enjoy such outrageous comedy's are laughing at their reaction.

    Christians, Is it moral to beat your children?

    Here is the difficulty as I see it. A minor unwqated touch to an adult in certain circumstances is deemed an assault. (I am not talking sexual in nature, but say a hand on the shoulder preventing someone from going somewhere). If we apply the same logic (save for preventing immediate harm) a...

    How do creationists explain... 'Junk DNA'

    The answer Ectezus is........ well you won't get the answer you are looking for. Some creationists will say it is not up to us to know the mind of God, others will admit evolution, but say that it occurred at an amazing pace post fall, others still will say that such vestigal traits are planted...

    Creationism 101

    Wow, at first I thought that the interviewer should challange her on numerous issues. However, letting her talk at length is the greatest counter-argument. Eye opening post! Thanks.

    Slavery

    It is never said anywhere in the Bible that slavery is immoral. (I ran a similar thread a few days ago). The counter arguments are vague and read meaning in to texts that is not overtly obvious. But I'm sure you'll see that as the thread progresses.
