    The most taboo word in American politics

    What would you want them to say, or do, about it?

    Capitalism sucks

    I dunno, I think that at times like these, or at any other time really, we should all listen to the words of Mark Corrigan, and meditate thusly beneath his wisdom tree. Or alternatively:

    Sorry Gay People, This Country Failed You Again

    Did Tea Party cost the GOP the Senate.

    I'd say YES, but with qualification. Yes, it's almost certain that choosing Tea Party candidates cost them at least a couple of vital senate seats that they should have won. I really don't think there's much of a question in that. At the same time however, it also helped energise the party base...

    Movies You've Seen Recently

    Rented this a few days ago and was nicely surprised by it. Although I don't consider myself a fan of the series*, I've watched all and enjoyed all of the movies. (Except for that loathsome first one) But this was the only one that I think went beyond being "a good Harry Potter movie" and managed...

    Nonbelievers to Hell!

    Sorry to jump in so late, but how do you seperate the two?

    what is the best movie ever?

    I'm probably gonna have to go with Brazil on this one. It's a film that contains so much wit and intelligence, and I really did fall in love with this movie in the very first minute of watching it. (And given that I'm a man, it's a genuine achievement to displace some of my love for fast cars...

    Religion is passe,

    Hey, we're talking about God. That guy isn't going anywhere. (Or maybe he's already there, or... Something...) In any case, everything will be here whenever you get back. Have fun with your guests. :)

    Religion is passe,

    I guess it depends on what you mean by "religion". I think that religion itself can never be universally regarded as passé, as what religion means and entails is constantly changing and adapting within a populace. However, any system of religious beliefs or practices can easily become inadequate...

    North American Union

    *looks around* Welp, another thread successfully killed. My work here is done... *walk off, whistling the tune of The Italian Job*

    North American Union

    There would be a huge difference between the two though. The EU is made up of a lot of small, old countries, many of whom have had over a thousand years to develop deep-seated and complex animosities with their neighbours, and some of these had very recently been left adrift by the collapse of...

    Free Trade

    Yes, in fact I think it already has benefited first, and particularly second and third world countries immensely. I see the entrenchment and expansion of globalised free trading practices to be one of the greatest achievements of the past twenty-ish years, although we still have a long way to go...

    Democrats vs Republicans

    Absolutely. A swift kick to the groin, coupled with a good pair of running shoes, will solve any problem in this world. Granted, some problems are so big that you'd have to kick pretty damn hard to fix 'em, but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

    Would Jesus sign-up to RF?

    Yeah, I've totally got a couple of zingers about his stigmata that I'm just waiting to use. ;)

    Would Jesus sign-up to RF?

    If Jesus returned tomorrow, would he make use of our new-fangled internet technology? And if so, where do you think he would frequent? Would he spread the word and preach over here at RF, or choose to lurk moar and post memes at 4chan? Personally, I'd be all for Jesus becoming a member here; I...

    Indian Guru tries to murder non-believer; fails.

    That response honestly made me try to look inside my own brain for a split second. That takes skill. :D

    Indian Guru tries to murder non-believer; fails.

    I stumbled across this news article earlier today, and I thought it was a fascinating example of how the impulse of secularisation adapts to wildly different cultures. Whereas here in the West*, the broad focus of religion** has tended to downplay the importance and role of contemporary physical...

    Life is good... if you are mega-wealthy.

    As far as youth and immigrant unemployment, America actually is doing better than France. This also goes for unemployment as a whole, albeit by a much smaller margin. (Currently 9.7% vs 10.1%) Only be levying much higher taxes, and suffering a less productive economy with historically weaker...

    Life is good... if you are mega-wealthy.

    Except that many of the things you listed are ambiguous, and have both positive and negative effects and attributes. A low minimum wage, for example, encourages job creation and increased employment amongst the poor and disadvantaged, as well as acting as a subtle weight against inflation, both...

    Marriage vs. Civil Unions

    I think that it's also partly due to our still having a state religion that doesn't (officially, at least) support allowing gay couples to get married.
