Funny how now people on the left are accusing the fear mongering right of causing the shooting, way to spread the fear more, eh? Even if it could be proved that the right caused it, so what? If he didn't "buy into right wing propaganda" he might have found another issue to become obsessed and...

According to ones' need was the creed of many totalitarian nations. And what is "far too subjective" about the pro-gun arguments? Can you find a study which proves conclusively that gun control reduces crime while dismissing all those other cases (not just American) where a passing of gun...

Just tell them you're an 8 year old boy. In all seriousness. When boys first started noticing these things called "girls" that made them feel funny on the inside, a lot of them tried to fend off these strange feelings by being mean to girls. Some of them never moved past that stage.

Bomberman Hero. I honestly think it was because of the music, it just fit so well with it's kind of cheesy look.

In the case that someone defers a task to me out of laziness I usually respond with "I'll do it eventually", that usually makes them do it because they can't hound you anymore to do it since you just agreed to do it, but on your timeline (which is actually never).

But not wanting to do something is a perfectly valid excuse for not doing something.

Part of the reason the American Civil War was so brutal was because they used medieval tactics with modern (at the time) weaponry. With today's technology if two armies met "at a predetermined battlefield" no one from either side would show up and instead just artillery/air strike that place...

A large part of society is already run by corporations and it isn't all that bad thing. One good thing is convenience, things in the US are a lot more cheap and available and the stores don't close at 7 PM. As for ant colonies. There is someone at the top: the queen. Everyone works to...

I've never been to either country nor am particularly knowledgeable about the specifics of their healthcare systems and what resources they have, etc. If you insist that the healthcare is equal for both countries then I will have to take your word for it. As for income disparity. There's...

Who's to say that the nurse in Prag is doing just as good of a job as the one in Stockholm? Maybe the one in Prag has less resources to work with or less motivation if they are getting paid less for doing the same job.

Someone else put it best when they said that capitalism is flawed in the same way that gravity is flawed. Sure it produces a lot of undesirable results and can be very unforgiving at times but it's nature. Humans are not a communistic species as we have a very strong sense of self. One day...

That would be pretty funny if all of our power plants were being run by Chinese spies.

Several things (my knowledge may be a bit out of date, someone correct me if I'm wrong): How did the Chinese military get to Canada? The last numbers I heard were that the majority of the Chinese army isn't even mechanized and still has to get to where it's going by foot. China also doesn't...

They're both, at the same time. People's aptitude for learning has only increased in modern times due to the widespread availability of information. At the same time, what comes with the widespread availability of information is the widespread availability of misinformation. Have you ever...

Some say that a surplus of men within the population, men who know that they will never find a mate could cause unrest in various areas of the nation. I myself don't really care.
