    Why ? Is a lighter skin tone Sexier/appealing ?

    I personally have always found the dark-skinned/dark-haired of the opposite sex to be far more attractive than the lighter-skinned and light-haired, particularly leaning towards Latinos and other ethnicities that are dark. However, this is just my own personal preference, and as another poster...

    Describe your IRL personality with TV/Movie characters

    I'm a mixture of Elinor Dashwood from Sense & Sensibility and Amelie from Amelie. I identify with Elinor's reserved yet deeply feeling nature that is often misunderstood, and I identify with Amelie's shyness and aloofness that make it hard for her to get close to people (as well as her desire to...

    No, I understand what I am saying....of course subjective morality exists----however, I don't believe subjective morality is the only morality, nor the true morality (as you seem to be claiming), nor does it negate the existence of an absolute morality. In other words, of course, we all have...

    Isn't empirical evidence evidence from observation? I guess I'm not quite following your line of reasoning. Subjective morals can definitely be observed, can't they? Isn't this thread proof enough of that? I'm not quite sure what you are trying to argue. You told me to prove there are absolute...

    So subjective morality does not exist? Do you believe there is such thing as right and wrong? You are talking specifics. If you want an absolute moral code, "you shall not murder" is a good one that covers some of those.

    As a Christian, of course I depend on the Bible for absolute morals. I won't deny that. :) However, my main point was to refute waitasec's argument of relativistic morality. Certainly every culture, denomination, etc., has its own preferences ("preferences" being the key word) in regards to...

    Does it depress you?

    I have no desire to be famous for fame's sake, but I do hope my life leaves a positive, lasting legacy---kind of in a Mother Theresa sort of way. That would be enough for me.

    So, if my personal morals say it's ok to murder someone, then you can't tell me it's not ok, right? Because, should I listen to you, I'd be going against my personal morals. :eek: You're pulling the old relativism card, and, sorry, it doesn't work. At all. Vadergirl makes an excellent point...

    How Christian fundamentalists plan to teach genocide to schoolchildren

    I think it all depends on how one teaches the material to children. I was taught the same story as a child, and never once did it enter my mind that God wanted me, or any Christian, to go commit genocide. Nothing I learned in the Bible as a child harmed me or made me want to become violent. On...

    What really grinds your gears?

    Misspelled words, bad punctuation, and atrocious grammar really grind my gears. Especially when I see them in signs, books, and newspaper/magazine/online articles---places where you know so-called "professionals" were the writers.

    No skin off my nose

    I'm glad to hear you're not miserable. That was simply the impression I got from your pessimistic post. I am well aware millions of people live horrific lives...I've seen such suffering firsthand and interacted with people who live in unimaginable squalor and poverty. But you know what...
