    A Moral Dilemma For Pro-Choice Liberals?

    Hmm. I dunno. Would I really want a person like that raising some poor kid they resent because they're "undesirable"? I remain pro-choice, as usual. Now, mind you, I think this sort of thing would be a bad choice, but I still think it should be a choice. And I think there are perfectly...

    Why can’t Jesus be a Jew?

    Well, the general understanding is that the Israelites became Jews (as the word is used today) once they got the Torah and all that. You're using linguistic distinctions in a rather odd fashion; especially seeing as how the word Jew has changed over time. By the modern term, Jesus was a Jew...

    I'm my own Grandpa ?

    Ah, what a quality song :)

    Passover Traditions?

    For starters, it's not a celebration of marking the doors so the Angel of Death passes over, although that's where the English name comes from. What it's really about is the Exodus from Egypt, and a celebration of freedom and redemption from slavery. We don't celebrate what happened to the...

    Sex change = no more alimony? I think not

    Well...you assume that he's going to get surgery at all. Most transmen don't, since it's extraordinarily expensive, painful, rather ineffective, and a lot just don't find it necessary (as a friend of mine put it, "If I had that much money, I'd rather get house," although given he said it in San...

    Sex change = no more alimony? I think not

    That's not entirely true, though. It may be illegal for a man to marry a man, but it's not illegal for a man to be married to a man, oddly enough. Once you're legally married, it doesn't matter what gender people end as up; the marriage is still valid. And since this is Florida, no less...

    Help With My Son's Posion Ivy

    Tecnu! At least, it's worked well for me in the past. It's this anti-poison oak/ivy stuff.

    How do you take caffiene?

    And also caffeinated peppermints. I love those things.

    Ministry distributes anti-LDS DVDs across state

    Well, they sound like lovely people, don't they? I dunno. I often start to worry when people describe themselves as "Concerned [fill in group here]." Although it would depend on what's in the video. From the sound of it, it's pretty unpleasant...if it were generally as pleasant as the Mormons...

    Is our Solar System GROWING?

    It is an interesting idea, and not unheard of. It might be a good one if not for the problem of where the mass is coming from. I've been reading up on his ideas, though, and some of what he seems to be proposing violates thermodynamics and shows a general misunderstanding of the theories he's...

    Is our Solar System GROWING?

    I am curious about his background, though, and what sort of research he's done. Any info on that? So far I've been unable to find any actual research or scientific articles.

    Is our Solar System GROWING?

    Interesting. Rather poorly written, but certainly an interesting idea, although it's one that's been pretty well out of favor for some decades now. The main problem is the question of how the Earth's mass could continually increase at such a rate. It's too bad the article doesn't really address...

    Florida city official seeking sex change fired

    Having read about this in other places, this whole business came out as follows: "Stanton...revealed his secret Feb. 21, a day after a St. Petersburg Times reporter told him the paper had been tipped off and was preparing a story about his decision."...

    Fundamentalist

    I tend to associate it with people who believe the Bible is a historical record and word-for-word literally true. Not merely inspired but pretty much dictated. I also tend to associate it with extremists with a decided tendency towards the right. If you were to describe someone as a moderate...

    Is This Vaccine Moral?

    It's moral, I should think. Just because people want there to be the threat of cancer involved with sex doesn't make the vaccine immoral. Anyhow, it's not as though cervical cancer is the main worry of any kid considering sex, I promise you. On the list of scary well-known STD's, it's not...

    Is Abstinence From Sex Before Marriage Really Best?

    Certainly people should wait until they're mature enough for it, although that is of course a tricky point to pin down. And I still hold that sex in a commited relationship is your best option, particularly for myself, but I'm prepared to accept that this is not the case for everyone. I do...

    Fox News Satire Show

    I dunno. I have my suspicions that it will work out like Air America. Has potential, but when you're trying that hard to be a [fill in political leaning here] response to something, it often doesn't seem to work so well. But kudos to them if it does work out. Only, really, when I heard about...

    What do you think of Democracy as a form of Government?

    Dunno. Pure democracy rarely, if ever, gets tried, being rather impractical. But there are things like republics, which are somewhat democratic. And as ideals go, it's a good one, and I do think self-government is a positive thing, over all. It will go wrong periodically, like any other human...

    Chuck Norris

    Is it bad I've started to hear really nerdy ones here at school? Chuck Norris can divide by zero and has counted to infinity...twice.
