In another thread, i've been told the above "All "-ism"s are ideologies"
Curious beast that i am, i began to think of all the words to which this suffix could be, and typically are, appended to for (voilà) an automatic ideology.
While anyone's welcome to enter, queary and correct, i'll quickly...

At the Victor's suggestion, i thought i'd start a thread where pro-lifers could debate amongst themselves the merits of their personal ethics, arguments for, and diversity of general viewpoint of what the pro-live movement entails.
Ground rule:
For the sake of this thread, i'll insist that a...
Sex and violence. Why is this a topical pairing when describing abhorencies?
Is there also a relative measure by which "so much" sex is equitable to certain degree/depiction of violence? What i wonder is why it's presented as equally reprehensible to graphically display people pleasing each...

Statistics Canada has contracted out software, hardware, and printing of the 2006 Canadian Census to Lockheed Martin--the world's biggest arms manufacturer, a maker of weapons of mass destruction, a company that continues to benefit...
"The Palestinian media is clearly biased against Hamas," complained Mahmoud Ramahi of Hamas, secretary-general of the Palestinian parliament. "What they are doing is not monitoring or criticizing. What they are doing is inciting against Hamas, in the interest of Fatah."

Ok. Time for me to come out about this one. As some of you may already be aware, this is the greatest movie...ever. Since my local video store changed over entirely to DVD (and my ex kept my copy), i haven't been able to see this film for a year and a half now. I'm just desperate to relive...

1)Would a worldwide "clean water act" be pased?
2)What would his policy on fossil fuels...
THE LEADER by anonymous
Patient and steady with all he must bear,

Easy in manner, yet solid as steel,
Strong in his faith, refreshingly real.
Isn't afraid to propose what is bold,
Doesn't conform to the usual mould,
Eyes that have foresight, for...

There's a link to listen to the program as well, available as of 2:00pm eastern time.
For anyone who listens to the program (or at least reads the...
I can't help but notice, the action and porno actually have alot in common. Hypothetically, one could run both films on identical plots save one aspect: conflict resolution. One genre blows the bad guys brains out, while the other screws his brains out. I wonder, which is truly the best way to...
Why the fuss about the good weed? I can't understand the hysteria over what is, in my view, the single most compelling proof of the existence of a benificial god. Surely we can all agree, no?
As stated, do we need feminists? Is the egalitarian battle pretty much wrapped up?
Or are women still denied equal rights? I'm curious if anyone (i'm afraid i'm mostly asking westerners) thinks that women are now truly "equals" to men. If there are any unequal laws still on the books...
