Personally I would say people may as well marry whatever and/or whomever they want to unless the other person/thing objects. Marriage used to have a real purpose - strengthening the extended family and providing a basis for rearing children. Those days have sadly gone. Marriage is not...

I have returned after years of wandering and learning. I have come back to you!!!! Yes and now I know a lot more and I am very wise. I will tell you some things that will amaze you. Just wait! First lesson: it's not always bad form to have a high opinion of yourself. --- But I am...

http://www.dailygalaxy.com/my_weblog/2009/05/a-robot-hitler.html WOW!!! Stupid implication in the url though as Hitler was more like the martyr robot than the evil one.

Apologies for the capitals. Opinions on the below please! MANY PEOPLE TALK OF HOW COMMUNISM IS A "NOBLE CONCEPT" BUT THAT IT CAN'T WORK. WE ARE TOLD HOW PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED UNDER COMMUNISM - THE INTELLECTUALS AND ARTISTS WHO WERE ALLEGEDLY TARGETED AND KILLED IN MAO'S CULTURAL...

If I ask you to imagine the most masculine man that you can, surely everyone has a fairly universal idea - big, muscular, powerful, deep voice, good at fighting, courageous, etc etc. In fact this goes for animals generally too. So now try to imagine the most feminine woman possible. This is...

We are always told how wonderful it is to have a tolerant society, yet what else is tolerance than gritting your teeth about something that annoys you? And how can that be better than a society in which people feel much in common with each other? Is tolerance a virtue, or do you agree with...

If I think about Christians, I don't feel they are much of an advert for Christianity. Similarly with Hindus, Muslims etc. And actually this expands into political beliefs too. Think of a political party you favour: do you feel most of those who support this party are letting the side down...

I felt like using the American spelling out of politeness to all the Americans here. So much of what is wrong in the world today comes down to personal honor, and especially the loss of it. Self respect and dignity is a big part of it, but just as important is respecting other people...

Would you like to live to be 1000? Should everyone have the right? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4003063.stm

I am sure this is true and it works even if you don't necessarily reciprocate that love. I googled the above phrase and was surprised that nothing came up. Plenty of "what does not kill you makes you stronger" though. The thing is knowing someone loves you for yourself and not just...

corrupt[dot]org Corrupt has a perspective on things you won't find elsewhere - and there is no doubt that modern society is to blame. This is a modern phenomenon after all. What I think is odd though is how there are plenty of groups in western nations that hate each other and blame...

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2008/09/15/bess/index1.html McCain has been closely associated with Pastor John Hagee, who has put forward plans for how WWIII should go ahead to bring about this "end of days" scenario. I also found this worrying information, which I think there is at...

A scientist picks up a gun that he knows is empty. He tells you it only fires blanks and so the statistical chance of being harmed is zero. His collegues all concur. "There's as much statistical chance of dragons flying out of that gun as a bullet!". He points it at your head. How do you...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9050474362583451279&hl=en I found the above video link "Money as Debt" in an article in The Times http://timesonline.typepad.com/environment/2008/09/limits-to-growt.html This is an incredibly informative and fascinating video - full of...

Very interesting. So when Darwin formulated his concepts about evolution, he was not as original in his observations (from a philosophical pov) as most would have believed. http://www.spectator.co.uk/the-magazine/the-week/1889106/ancient-and-modern.thtml

Social Darwinists apply Darwinism as a metaphor without realising it. Mostly they misunderstand the what the point of Darwin's message is. The subtitle of "On the Origin of the Species" is "The Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life". Ultimately life is struggle, and the...

Vijay Prozak And we bring this about by a mixture of sheepishness, apathy and promiscuous altruism - which "they" exploit.

How about that!!!

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121450609076407973.html?mod=blogs How does the brain make up its mind then would you say? When we are undecided about something should we just not bother thinking and wait for our brain to just tell us? We have the power to try doing that - but then nothing...

4 July is a celebration of independence from the British Empire in 1776. It is celebrated as if the British Empire was objectionable for fascistic oppressiveness and unreasonable taxation demands. That is a Masonic falsification of history. Very few Americans even paid taxes, as they lived in...
