    Against abortion for any reason? What about the death penalty?

    There is a difference between a clump of cells and a potentially innocent human being.

    Against abortion for any reason? What about the death penalty?

    I'm personally fascinated as to how anyone in their right mind would choose the last choice; How can you be anti-choice and be for state-sanctioned murders?

    Gay soldier booed at GOP debate.

    The Holocaust began with the deportation of the people of the Jewish faith and the confiscation of their property. That being said there is a reason that one might be worried. The stereotypical immigrant is Hisapanic and therefore Catholic. How do you think they'll vote when the time comes?

    If you represent your country at the UN would you vote for palestinian statehood later this month?

    Thanks. I gave you a frubal as well. I've seen some posts which I wish I could give anti-frubals to.

    Did jesus (yshu) lie about prayers?

    the "new testament" only xtians seem to cherry pick what they want to believe and what they don't.

    If you represent your country at the UN would you vote for palestinian statehood later this month?

    45+ years of terror against the people of Israel. Thousands of innocent Israeli children killed, maimed and crippled because they refuse to negotiate. And now the world wants to reward the "Palestinians" with a state. Such logic is beyond me. The West Bank and Gaza are technically Israeli...

    Does the new testament contradict itself on the end times?

    in the new testament, jesus makes a lot of claims about the so-called end times. xtians would have you believe that it shall come as “a thief in the night,” but a lot of "signs" are given concerning WHEN it would happen. On a close look at the new testament, christ says that his second comming...

    Did jesus (yshu) lie about prayers?

    jesus says that an xtian believer can ask for anything through prayer and receive it and even says that you can move mountains by praying. For instance, In matthew 21:21 jesus says: And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not...

    Muslim Immigrants Demand Switzerland Remove Cross from Flag

    Muslim Immigrants Demand Switzerland Remove Cross from Flag I don't usually use YFC as a source, but this needs to be brought to people's attention and since they are the only ones saying something, I am quoting them. While I think the cross isn't an appropriate symbol for a modern...

    If you represent your country at the UN would you vote for palestinian statehood later this month?

    If you could represent your country at the UN would you vote for palestinian statehood later this month? Justify your reasoning. I am from the US and I think most here do not want a palestinian state, so I would vote against in representing the US. It is simply in the best interest of the...

    'Irvine 11' jury finds all 10 students guilty of censorship against Michael Oren

    There are limits to free speech. Hate speech is not free speech and even free speech is not absolute. It depends on time, place and context. They denied the Israeli ambassador's free speech and thus had violated the constitution. They did not have the right to express their views in the...

    'Irvine 11' jury finds all 10 students guilty of censorship against Michael Oren

    George W. Bush is an elected official in the federal executive gov't and was thus liable to criticism, public appraisal, commentary, and the like. Offering a spontaneous, short criticism before he spoke does not disrupt what he is saying, but instead promotes a healthier society by allowing us...

    His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama of Tibet, visits Argentina promoting World Peace

    The face His Holiness (I will personally use the term here as it is his proper title) presents to a Western audience is somewhat different than what is resented to his the Tibetan monastic audience. This is not to say that His Holiness has been two faced. Rather, just as a famous scientist...

    What is the greatest illusion?

    The Buddhists think that everything is illusory. This can apply to even our concepts of God or morality. I think that the greatest illusions are those that we have collectively created for ourselves: namely that we must be responsible to a some "supreme diety" which dictates our morals. By...

    Survey: what sort of school do you send your kids to?

    Seeing as I currently live in an area which is known for its conservative views, if I have children, I will home school them until they are old enough to tell the difference, maybe until 5th or 6th grade, then let them go to a public school.

    Was the Troy Davis killing a state sanctioned lynching?

    Yes. The court system in America is still quite racist when it comes to African-Americans. Back in 2005, there was another high-profile case involving an African-American man named Stanley "Tookie" Williams, who was murdered despite pleas for clemency. While Williams was guilty, he...

    His Holiness, the XIV Dalai Lama of Tibet, visits Argentina promoting World Peace

    Your post is a bit too judgemental. I do not we have the right to judge other cultures. It is true that Tibet might not have been modern, but neither was their neighbor China - which would later invade Tibet and kill over 1.2 million people, which still practiced concubinage, feudalism or...
