Would you be interested in a battle?

Now hold on there... you act as if the viewpoint is it's own entity. There has to be a reason behind a viewpoint, otherwise it's just schizophrenia. If someone says they disagree with gay marriage "just because", well... that's the answer a desperate parent would give to a child because there...

This is my general consensus with the theists, however I must point out that one must not become tolerant of intolerance. Gay marriage/love/whatever you want to call it is one of those cases where I can't comprehend how someone can be against it so much as to attempt to put it into law...

Would anybody be interested in a little battle? Standard OU, all Clauses minus Item. Also, I haven't played Black & White yet, so I'd prefer to keep it Generation IV and below, but I'm not that particular.

Back before the Criterion Collection re-released Pasolini's notorious film Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom (back when it was one of, if not THE rarest DVD in the world), there were several bootleg editions going round. Nowadays, some of those bootlegs are actually quite valuable! I guess some...

Fusion tends to be a bit more difficult to accomplish than fission (and, as has been mentioned, more expensive). Now, if we could figure out cold fusion, then we'd be gettin' somewhere! And the Nobel Prize in Physics/Chemistry goes to... ;)

Actually, that's 100% correct. On average, recycling anything but plastic is far less beneficial than people are led to believe. Not saying that we shouldn't, just that it shouldn't be part of the whole environmental movement. As far as alternative energy goes... I'm a big advocate of nuclear...

Well, the way I see it, he's a simple activist. Truth activist, freedom of speech activist, information activist, whatever you want to call it. The threats to release more information may seem like blackmail or "terrorism" to the common American, but I feel that's a pretty wise thing to do when...

I doubt it's about blackmailing anyone into accountability. I doubt there really is an agenda beyond "getting information out", and I completely support Wikileaks, and Julian Assange. Let me put it this way... if you found the perfect mate, the person you could viably spend your entire life...

In science, and in particular, chemical analysis, we have something called a "blank", which is usually a baseline by which to judge any sort of fluctuation. We can have the same thing here, and it would still be competitive, it would still foster profit. Just raise the "blank" a bit further up...

Deja vu! As I think I responded the first time, what you just did is a more drawn out version of the Drake Equation, which may or may not be a crap equation. It's statistically intuitive, but I think it holds some logical merit. In my opinion, it's stupid not to believe there's life out...

I strongly believe the whole "the rich needs tax cuts so they can employ" thing is a total myth. The upper 1% has no interest in creating jobs unless they have to - they're interested in more wealth. That's why they're sending jobs overseas and that's why during Bush's reign of terror, while...

Yep, I've taken one more trip around the sun. Here's to many more, old friend! (And by many, I mean probably about 9, judging from MY diet. haha)

Cute! I could have some fun with that. Of course, I'm referring to your link. ... or am I? haha

Hey, how'd you get a picture of my basement? Kidding. Thank you!
