    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    Why does this person need to keep a concealed weapon if it will never be used, then? For the record, I live in America for a few months out of every year, as stated earlier. My girlfriend lives in Louisiana and I spend as much time with her as my visa allows me. Don't think I'm just some...

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    Even with phychological screening and police-grade training, I'd worry about meeting the person who carries a concealed weapon on a bad day, or getting caught in the crossfire when this individual decides to be Rambo and save some old lady from a mugger. For me, even contemplating the idea of...

    Is there solid, verifiable proof that there is a god?

    Come on ladies, we don't need handbags at dawn. =P

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    Not that I'm doubting you or anything, but I'd like to see some evidence to support this claim. If it's true my whole opinion on this issue might have to change!

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    What is a gun for? Why does someone who is not a farmer want to own a gun? When it is used to kill someone, or maim them, whether in self-defence or not, how is this misuse? What is the gun there for if not to hurt someone? When a car is used to hurt someone, this is misuse. When a carving...

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    I never said I blame the guns themselves. The problem is that there is a culture in some parts of American society that has an unhealthy view of guns and how they should be treated. Banning cars would obviously be a silly idea, seeing as we use them for transportation everyday and the economy...

    What Makes Us Human?

    They would not benefit at all, actually. Most apes (chimpanzees, organgutans etc) live in forests where the food is very widespread, so they have to travel around and build their nests close the trees that happen to be fruiting at that time. Technically, apes can and do build houses. You're sat...

    EVOLUTION, what a lie.

    So the fact that we are finding more and more evidence which supports the theory of evolution means that the theory of evolution is wrong? Sounds a little silly to me.

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    You can't be serious... I don't mean to be rude but this is a pretty casualistic attempt. If you find someone in your house trying to get out of the window with your television set, you're going to reach for your gun, not your car. Guns are made to kill, cars are not. If this distinction is...

    EVOLUTION, what a lie.

    Please tell us how any of these discoveries cast doubt on the truth of evolutionary theory.

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    This argument has always left me rather confused. Guns are designed for the purpose of killing or maiming, not for transportation. I really can't see what point you could be trying to make. The facts are: the USA has a very high gun-ownership percentage, and an anomalously high rate of...

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    You know perfectly well I'm talking about the gun crime rate. Perhaps that was a provocative way of putting it, and I apologize if you took it as a generalisation. For the record, my girlfriend is from Louisiana and when I visit her family I am always amazed at how many guns they have all over...

    Heterosexuals show hardcore porn to children in school

    Presumably that's what lead to the porn being in the projector anyway.

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    When I said gun crime is not a problem, I meant it is in line with the gun crime rates of most other countries where guns are banned for the general population. You can always find a few cases, but the point is that the rates of gun crime are low in comparison to the USA (astonishingly low...

    Any Pro-Gun Liberals?

    I never said gun crime doesn't exist in other countries. It's illegal for most people to own guns in the United Kingdom but members of gangs still acquire them and use them on each other. Maybe I'm being obtuse, or seeing a connection where none exists, but the combination of "off the shelf"...

    What Makes Us Human?

    Elephants have been known to visit the skeletons of their dead years after and stroke them for hours. It's hard to believe they have no concept of death given this slightly macabre observation.

    What Makes Us Human?

    That might be it! Although we can't be sure. Bonobos are pretty reflective little dudes, in fact sometimes they can be seen just looking up at the sky as if pondering some deep philosophical idea. In truth, they're probably thinking about sexual positions, but still. We can't be sure! =)

    Is there solid, verifiable proof that there is a god?

    An experience is an experience. But an experience/observation published in a scientific paper, then reproduced in other laboratories with the same results is a verifiable experience. If you say "God came to me last night and said that I'm a toadstool" I can't verify that. All I was trying to...

    What Makes Us Human?

    Well you have to understand... I'm only speaking in the very technical sense. I'm a zoology student and spend my time fondling reptiles and inspecting the inner ear of whales and such. I know that life is more beautiful than any simple definition could ever express. I just wish people didn't...

    Is there solid, verifiable proof that there is a god?

    But it becomes more than that when anyone else can go to their lab and have the same experience.
