Let me first start out by saying that I don't think what what I'm about to mention should be considered copyright or infringement. I was reading a book by Malcolm Gladwell once, and there was one Chapter discussing how musical artists, popular ones, copied music from their predecessors and...

I remember watching 'Family Guy' a long time ago, and I thought the 'What Grinds My Gears' Segment was pretty funny and I'm sure most of us share Peter's frustration. If you aren't familiar with what I'm saying, just name anything that you think is really annoying. This isn't easy but you'll...

I don't know why, but this has just occurred to me. It is believed that in real life conversations, 90 percent of what people say is characterized by their body language and tone of voice. Only 10 percent is determined by the actual content of their words. You'd think that on the internet...

Alright, so no one's perfect. We all have little weird things that separates us from the rest. They can be biological, social, psychological, or just about anything. What are they? For example, I think this is a little weird about me and I thought I was the only one in the world who had it...

Alright I think this could be a fun and original way to express one's thoughts. Basically, just write a rap about anything you want ala 8 mile. Except you're actually typing it here instead of free styling on the spot. The fact that we're all amateurs will probably mean it's going to be really...

I think this might be a little fun; so make a list of the top 10 songs off the top of your head. It's really hard to be accurate here because there's always going to be a few songs that you realize later on you should have added. I'm not including Rap personally because I've been listening to...

I'll start off by saying that I'm honestly the most clueless person when it comes to computers and I would appreciate any help from you Tech geniuses out there. I have an Hp laptop and I have a problem with shutting down my computer. When I click the shutdown icon; the screen reads...

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/17/magazine/17charity.t.html?_r=1 I thought this was quite interesting and maybe controversial. What are your thoughts on it?

I just finished reading 'The Meno' by Plato. It's a brilliant dialogue that takes place between Socrates and Meno concerning virtue mostly. But a small part of it concerning the possibility of attaining knowledge really caught my attention. Meno assumes a sophistic position by stating that...

After Ale's unfortunate injury that he picked up recently, there certainly seems to be a need to reevaluate our starting line-up and perhaps this may be the perfect time for Gio to show his worth. Ever since his 15 minute debut in Serie B where he set up Trez for that goal, I vividly...

A brother and his sister, Kyle and Betty, decided to go on a road trip together. One day while staying in a hotel, they decided to make love to each other, they used birth control pills and condoms just to be safe. They thoroughly enjoyed it and never had any regrets. After that night, they...

In the light of recent debates I have had about the nature of morality; I want to reinstate my point of view that morality is indeed objective. I would like to highlight the fundamental flaws of ethical relativism and why exactly I cannot accept it. Let me first define ethical relativism. It...

If I thought it was okay to torture new-born babies for pleasure, and according to my personal moral standard, it was perfectly fine to do so. Am I being moral or immoral? Can I we get a poll on this mods? Thanks.

I just stumbled upon this by the way, and I found it to be a very logical and reasonable answer to Dawkins' argument.

In response to an argument Martin and I were having about the Moral Law. Extracts from a book I have read recently. To understand the Moral Law, it is useful to consider how it is invoked hundreds of ways each day without the invoker stopping to point out the foundation of his argument...

Before you read this, consider God as a supernatural force outside time and space. I say this so as to avoid the famous childish question, "Who created God?". Most of the extracts below are references to the book, "The Language of God". First, one must be familiar to the Anthropic...

Researchers from Baylor University’s Institute for Studies of Religion released these survey results in a standing-room-only press conference in Washington, D.C., on September 18. The pool of 1,721 respondents from across the United States said they had been touched by the divine in other...
