    Being Fat Is NOT OKAY...Deal With It.

    Yeah, and genetics determines what that balance is.

    Recommend New Country Borders

    Hard to say, they're all pretty awful.

    Being Fat Is NOT OKAY...Deal With It.

    Yes. I get a physical every year and they tell me I'm perfectly healthy, and I'm over 300 pounds. Blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, all well within normal levels. I do have a slight vitamin D deficiency though. Genetics is the biggest factor in body shape and size.

    Under What Conditions, if any, Would You Worship a Deity?

    None. If it's malevolent then it doesn't deserve worship, and if it's benevolent it wouldn't want worship.

    Baltimore police charged in Freddy Gray death

    The prosecutors should be unbiased as well. Defense lawyers can be biased, but the government's only interest should be getting justice, both for victims and falsely accused.

    Concerning Patriarchy

    Male financial status is an issue to men for the same (perceived) reasons that body-image is an issue for women. Qualitatively they are the same issue.

    Concerning Patriarchy

    I still believe women style their appearance more to impress other women than men. The males are the ones that typically need to work to impress a potential mate.

    Calling people's opinion/question/thread silly or stupid

    And sometimes that answer is "That's dumb." Engaging in intelligent, rational discussion with a ridiculous and/or harmful ideology legitimizes it.

    Check your privilege

    Yep, me too. I didn't mark most of those questions. I've been called racial slurs, been the only member of my race at work, I've had strangers ask to touch my hair, etc...

    Calling people's opinion/question/thread silly or stupid

    It depends, some ideas are so stupid the only response they deserve is ridicule.

    No, it's a hypothesis until the experiment repeats.....then it's a theory.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation

    The Q episodes are my favorite, except the Robin Hood one, that one was lame. Completely agree about the original series. I mean, I want to like it, but it's soooo cheesy and campy.

    Women To Register For The Draft? Probably Yes

    They didn't include authorization for it for the same reason they didn't include authorization for jury duty, it's not involuntary servitude, it's an obligation, a condition of citizenship. No need to amend it, the Supreme Court ruled selective service, like jury duty, is not involuntary servitude.

    Quiverfull's arranged marriage retreat canceled; cries persecution

    Wait, aren't they doing this to their girls and boys? Why the focus on the girls? Surely "pimping out" one's 14-year-son to someone's daughter is just as heinous right? Why is it "child brides and husbands" and not "child brides and child husbands"?

    Disappointed by the God Delusion

    Right, he's targeting closeted atheists, telling them they don't have to be unhappy in religion, they can be happy as atheists. He's not targeting people convinced of their religion, as he says: The typical definition of a "hard atheist" is someone who believes there are no gods. This is not...

    Disappointed by the God Delusion

    It has been a while since I read that book, but I don't believe his ultimate aim was to move people away from being religious. In fact, if I remember correctly, he even says somewhere in the book that his primary audience is atheists, not religious people, and he isn't trying to convince anyone...
