Hello everyone...
Don't know if any of you remember me, I am not new but have not been around for a long time...thought I would go ahead and post here again to let everyone know that...I have returned.
Thinking about a previous thread, I was wondering, why do people seem to go out of their way to complicate a situation when it only needs a simple answer/solution? Is it to impress others, or to sound intellectual or is it that not all people are too caught up in the complication to see the...
I am not debating abortion...

that only atheists subscribe to evolution? In almost every arguement about evolution and creationism I have seen, it is always assumed that if you are a theist that you do not believe in evolution... Why? (I am not debating the validity of either)
Not argueing the right or wrong of abortion - Do you think abortion is considered medical care like bandageing a broken leg, or if it is elective surgery like a boob job?
Let me first say, this is not another abortion or suicide thread I am simply using it as an example...
My body, my life, my choice...
Nobody has the right to tell me what I can and can't do...
I have seen these phrases used in abortion and suicide threads constantly and I, coming from the...
Have you ever changed or lied about your view/opinion to follow the crowd/popular opinion? If so why?
