  • Human nature

    You have to wonder sometimes, whether its human nature,or lack of common sense.We live in a very very social conscience age. I have the benefit of years as some might say.

    There are 2 types of Muslims in the world! 1 - Muslims who speak Arabic. 2 - Muslims who do not speak Arabic. I leave you the privilege to make the distinction!

    quidfecisti:I think you'll find that in many countries, women can and are killed for sexual misconduct (invariably defined by old men, of course), real or alleged. And this is especially prevalent in the Muslim world. If that offends you, good. We should all be offended when barbarians are subjecting their fellow humans to their despicable ...

  • Slippery Slopes: It will all end in darkness

    <short-term gratification but long-term harm). This problem is exacerbated in the case of children and adolescents> It all began with Mother encouraging, ''Go outside and play. You need some color in your face to look healthy.'' Later, lying on the beach, basting with baby oil, I turned when I could hear myself begin to sizzle on one side. ...

  • Excellent Book and Review

    I agree with so many of the points this reviewer has made and sadly, not enough people have read this amazingly accurate piece of literature. When reading ''Then We Came To the End'', I was also reminded a bit of the beginning of J.Martin Troost's, ''The Sex Lives of Cannibals,'' before he takes off for the Island of the I.Kiribati (sp?). There is ...

    Egypt has recently called for culling the nation's pig population. This has led to mixed outrage and strange support. Poor Christian pig farmers in Egypt protested that pigs are their livelihood, claimed their pigs are healthy, and that its unfair. However, Coptic religious leaders have supported the cull. The largest opposition group in ...

  • Behavior Trumps the Label of "Orientation"

    Labelling a person as 'gay' or 'straight' connotes particular behavior which is deemed 'wired'. But the big issue which Saletan slightly implies is: human freewill determines behavior before and beyond 'orientation' or 'wiring'. ''Wiring'' refers to blinking, breathing, heart rates, so forth. Everything else humans have to learn, ...

  • What?

    ''I don't equate abortion with murder. . . . So why do I keep bringing up abortion as a moral problem? Because it is a moral problem. It's the destruction of a developing human being.'' How is ''destroying'' a ''human being'' not murder? Is it euthanasia when that human being may have a poor upbringing? And if so, how is euthanasia not ...
