I've recently been accepted to study abroad.
However, my parents are furious that something good has actually happened to me, and have refused to pay for it, which means that all of my expenses will have to go to student loans and scholarships. (There's also the slight issue that more than...
One of the things Rick and I were discussing a while ago was the evils of Christianity - more specifically, that Christianity is enough of a threat to merit an aggressive response on the part of unbelievers.
Since Christians believe that their God is perfect in every way, I believe that it...
I have an interview with Walmart tomorrow morning about my job application. This is as far as I've ever made it as far as job applications go, so I'm pretty excited.
Unfortunately, I've done some research on the company to prepare for the interview, and I'm a bit nervous as to how I'm going...
Cool beverage, and I'm certain that it actually exists, but for some reason I can't seem to find a site that is actually stocked with it. I wanted to get a bottle for my (libertarian) microeconomics professor for Lenin's birthday this Sunday. Does anyone happen to know where it's sold? (The...
I was thinking about the Juche regime in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea lately and it occurred to me, how did Kim Jon Il manage to be such a terrible leader?
The man had absolute control over the country. The people practically literally worshiped him. Yet from everything I've...
Ann Coulter will be speaking at my university in the near future. Apparently "various private donors" contributed ten thousand dollars for this to happen.
Anyways, the article in the newspaper I found this in claims that a question and answer session will come after her presentation...

I wanted to include the Sewergate scandal in a paper I'm doing about the EPA, but I can't find anything on what the "misused" funds were actually used for. Rationalwiki says...
It looks like a company called "Colony Brands" is offering internships, but before I would consider applying, I need to find out what kind of company they are. Not as in what they produce (they're a swiss-themed cheese and holiday goods company that sells through catalogues), but what kind of...
Recently I've been hearing about a book titled "Brave New World" - like 1984, it's a classic that I will be sure to make myself read as a how-to guide for my political philosophy by the time my career takes off.
Going over the plot, it appears that it predominantly takes place in a...
I just read an article claiming that soda (not specifically mentioning root beer) has all sorts of dangerous side effects that people don't know about.
3 Surprising Reasons to Give Up Soda | Yahoo! Health
Are these claims legitimate at all? I get the feeling from looking at their website...
I stated a while back that I intended to donate $50 to the US Government as a tithe for the income I made during the summer (mostly for graduation/birthday presents). The plan was to do it roughly around Christmastime...
Then I heard about this year's National Defense Authorization Act...
I notice a recurring theme in my Economics classes (all of which seem to openly advocate capitalism to some degree) - that the profit motive works because people work in their own self-interest. Something argued today in my microeconomics class was that the self-interest of people consistently...
I realize that RF may not be a statistical sample, but just to get a taste of the general trend amongst Christians:
How literally do you think the Bible is to be taken? Is it the inerrant word of God, or mostly metaphorical?
I've recently heard an argument that since the speed of light was apparently broken recently (I thought the result was declared invalid, but upon researching I've found no consensus), the Theory of Gravity was invalid. Allegedly some other new research has come out stating gravity was based not...
What's a Poor French Noble to Do Without a King to Call His Own? - WSJ.com
I'm having difficulty telling if this is a satire or not. It almost reads like the Onion, but it's from a "real" news source.
Thoughts?
I'm attempting to make two boffer lightsabers (one for myself and one as a Christmas present for a friend). For anyone here who might not know, "boffers" are essentially foam weapons (used frequently in Live Action RolePlay).
I have an idea on what I'm going to do for the core and the light...
My cultist group is officially started :D.
Home - The Land of Nod
It's not much, given my complete lack of technical skill, but once I get some time I plan to start recruiting and hopefully form a coherent (anti)religious group by the time it starts snowing (at which point we start building...
I have a problem, probably one that many teenagers face:
I need money ($450 or so by early December, to be specific), but there's no available jobs in my area (I did apply for the jobs on campus that I felt I was qualified for, but got rejected from one and haven't heard anything back from...
Hey peoples, I've been working on establishing my own cultist group! I'm not particularly tech-savvy, but here's what I got of a website so far:
Home - The Land of Nod
I don't want to develop the ideology too much this early on (I want new recruits to have some say in the matter), but in...
I felt that the Political Compass wasn't very accurate (to put it mildly), so I made up my own political spectrum test! I had a little experience with java, so I made my own rudimentary quiz program.
Er, I'm not too tech savvy, unfortunately, so I don't know how I would post it online. If...
