    What's your position on the morality of altering ones state of mind recreationally?

    I want to stay away from discussions rooted in legalities or practicalities concerning drug use, and of course please refrain from disclosing any personal discretions that would violate forum rules. I’m more interested in people’s core feelings regarding the subject of altering ones...

    The Ego and the Burden of Posing Questions

    When participating here on RF I’m able to use the fact that it’s essentially other people asking the question to free me up to think far more critically about the potential answer than if I had simply posed the question to myself. I think it’s one of the main reasons that keeps bringing me back...

    Star Citizen.... Get in my life!

    Phenomenal. This is what I'm talking about. A game to put the PC back on top and rightly so being the most powerful, unrestricted and cutting edge platform that it is, no longer held back by the out-dated console technology that’s plagued the industry for so long, stifling innovation and...

    Hypothetical Regarding Child Support

    At the risk of re-opening a can-o-worms, i thought I'd start this thread. My issue with a blanket rule for enforced child support is that its possible for some to be taken advantage of, especially when they have no real opportunity to voice their objections, leading me to think such a subject...

    The Nature of Islam

    Why is there such associated violence with the Islamic world? Does its framework as a religion easily allow and facilitate the extremist mentality towards violent solutions? As an interesting comparison, one might point out the distinct lack of violent Tibetan Buddhist extremists even in light...
