    Poll: Which Decade Had the Best Music?

    Meh. No decade had the "best music". Everything is synthesized into a tiny partition, which is "representative" of that decade. Namely, the good stuff survives and that's what people remember (because it's good :3) and the bad stuff...is best forgotten. I'm sure it'll happen with the the 2000...

    Learn anything new recently?

    -Basic things about what an argument is, what is validity, soundness, refuting justified true belief (One can know something only if 3 things occur: A) it's true B) one believes it's true and C) one has justification to believe it's true), how to make meaningful data out of raw data and how to...

    drug testing in schools

    Please hand over all your medical records, let me fingerprint you and run your prints through federal / international databases, and detain you until such time as the checks have run positive. You have done nothing, therefore you have nothing to fear, right? That's just the thing: [allcaps...

    Manic depression

    Are you equating use to depresant or what? I'm confused... But anyway self-medicating of any kind is bad an unhealthy. It's an escape (as anything can be) which means you run away from the problem at hand rather than face it. Granted not everything can be solved by yourself, though.

    Manic depression

    Lithium is the general thing for manic depression, beyond that there's really nothin' much to be perfectly honest... *** **Anti-sue/ban/whatever disclaimer : I'm not a psychologist (Yet) and you should go (back) to one (and a psychiatrist) in order to get the help you need. My ex had it and...

    Poll: Does television help or hurt us?

    edit: It seems I've been beaten to the punch in forming an opinion, to which I will rebut TV *itself* fuels higher learning. It's "making us smarter" so to speak. Allow me to elaborate: Take shows (of the same sort) and compare them today. Police procedural vs cop dramas of today, with...

    The First Thing You'd Do As President

    Use (whatever drug) to stay up for about a week or so so I can get all this work being done :3 That being said, I would *orchestral swell* TRANSFORM THIS COUNTRY into a libertarian society. For those that don't know what that is, I give you the internet...

    Being born 3 months premature does that(along with a lot of other non eye related problems :3 (it's called retinopthy of prematurity - they put you in an incubator and give you oxygen, and although necessary, it can/(does? I'm not sure on that specifically) damage the eyes. 15% I think is the...

    Drugs that can erase bad memories...

    St.Augustine =) I disagree. As has been corrected by someone it works like the PTSD psychological treatments available to others - I'm still skeptical to say the least. I'm just leery about psychotropic medications, or maybe it's just the issue of psychiatrists that I've seen /...

    Language, its barriers and ignorance based on the aforementioned.

    hehe, yeah that is a good period to call her your girlfriend in my opinion. =) Go for it! :D Also to the language barrier thing, two points I'd forgotten to say - There are things that can only be stated in a language that don't translate well (Can't think of any right now but you know what I...

    laser eye surgery

    I wish I could do it, quite frankly. Quite frankly: It depends. Is your vision really bad to where current things don't really do that much (such as glasses)? Is the cost worth it? (Last time I checked it isn't covered by health insurance) If the answers are yes, then go for it. Nothin's gonna...
