    A biologist at a university??? Sounds like he might even believe in evolution.

    I'm sick of this forum.

    I want to echo this. Most people are very chilled on here I find. There's a kind of low-level Americans civil war in progress but otherwise it seems quite placid. Still, if you're really getting stressed out then take a break. The internet has that quality that we can somehow be made to take...

    Alexander the Great mixed things up in those regions for sure.

    Dumb Dating advice

    This is right. Some people regard me a being a very serious person but I also have a sense of humour too, so there's no contradiction. Some dating profiles try to put people into simple boxes, which kind of devalues the whole person but that why is always good to get to know someone well, with...

    idols

    Buddhism doesn't really obsess on this point but as humans we construct and uphold our preferences and opinions, likes and dislikes and egocentric sense of self. I guess, for Buddhists, these can be regarded as false idols.

    Dumb Dating advice

    Perhaps if you are a serious person you need a partner with a sense of humour to balance it out.

    Debate: Does it Proof you are a fool, or just a smart-***?

    When I was younger, my ego always got the crash after the crush.

    Eureka! I Have Achieved a Breakthough in My Understanding!

    The dude has to go to collect that prize for single-handedly solving all the world's problems with the astute application of erotic dancing girls. How could the world's finest minds have overlooked such a simple solution to economic well-being and world peace? A visit to Sweden enables the...

    The reasons why Christians are accused of idolatry

    For me it's when Christians (and other theists) reduce god to a known or knowable person or being. Once this happens they tend to speak on his behalf, praising or condemning others and generally claiming to be an authority on what god wants, thinks, feels etc. Their scriptures provide enough...

    Masculinity and Feminity?

    I think that sexuality and masculinity/femininity may not necessarily be connected. Some quite masculine-looking (and behaving) women are still attracted to men and vice versa. Of course there are always stereotypes but in reality everyone is a bit more complex. I'm hetro but I find...

    12-year old heir to a diamond business chooses to be a monk

    The rest are adults and are making an informed decision. The kid's too young for that.

    Is it a waste of my time to try having honest, rational debates with myself?

    Become an author and put all those characters into a crazy story.

    12-year old heir to a diamond business chooses to be a monk

    If its irreversible at that age, it's a kind of child abuse. The family and those who ordained him should be ashamed of themselves. Is there no legal requirement for a child to complete his schooling?

    12-year old heir to a diamond business chooses to be a monk

    I agree that it seems too young to make a truly informed choice. He hasn't completed his schooling or had the chance for any real life or spiritual experience, so I hope it's a reversible decision. As a Buddhist, I find Jain asceticism to be too extreme in any case and I fail to see how there...

    Danish Museum Locates Missing WW2 German Sub

    The last I heard, all that missing Nazi gold was supposedly on abandoned wagons on old railway lines, deep inside forgotten rail tunnels under mountains in Poland (or something like that). It's more likely to be where it's always been - sitting in some Swiss bank vault and no one's fessing up.

    Erdogan wants to hold elections early before economy crashes

    Not quite. British+Exit from the EU = Brexit During the campaign, the media "informed" the British public that Turkey's membership of the EU was immanent and a population of 74.7 million people would suddenly have the right to live in the UK, claim benefits, nick our jobs, take our houses and...
