Yeah. I was far more disturbed by the kids I watched over the summer wearing shirts over their heads and claiming to kill Iraqis than I was them talking about how the word dirty can mean more than one thing. In any case, I don't think all children would see that clothing as Sexy. they are more...

Please read the Bible. There's plenty of needless violence, incest, and intolerance. Actually, please read almost every religious text that is at least a few hundred years old. The vast majority of Muslims I have encountered are no more backwards or savage than the vast majority of Christians I...

"Savage Backward" religion? How so?

Actually, the reason why abortions because of rape are so low could be because it's actually very hard to get pregnant from being raped. It's a very low chance. Your body behaves differently and is more accepting physically and chemically to semen if you want the sex you're having. This...

Hello. What, in your opinion, is the difference between a typical Myspace or Facebook user, someone who uses this forum, or someone who uses 4chan? If you use a number of the sites mentioned, does your behavior change and why? What do you think makes someone well-liked on any of the sites...

AIDs is a disease. FGM is a cultural practice. I agree with Placebo that there's a big difference between the both. The vast majority of people that get AIDs do not want it. Some women, for better or worse, do want circumcision. Most Muslims do not believe in or practice FGM. FGM is a cultural...

Well, Incest between brothers and sisters and cousins is much different than Incest between a parent and child, which I think is wrong no matter what way you look at it. I don't think you can argue that we've been taught to think incest is wrong. There is no example of human culture in which...

Alright, first of all, don't generalize. Most teenagers who are sexually active do not get pregnant. A large portion of the women I know had sex before they were twenty years old and nearly all of them have never been pregnant. If most sexually active teenagers became pregnant, then we would...

I feel as though Ivalice had a more cohesive design. Like all the races, costumes, buildings, and environments seemed to come from the same fantasy world. Spira seemed a bit more random. I think there were some absolutely gorgeous things in Spira, but artisically it just seemed to be all over...

Don't spend your time worrying about it. It's pretty selfish to make someone wait that long for a physical relationship.

It was adorable. Though the ending kinda got a little silly IMO. I wish it kept the same strength from the beginning of the movie

ahh! This movie made me remember how much I love Batman (okay, actually I don't need to be reminded. I'm a pretty big fan girl) Anyway...loved the speech at the end. Loved all of joker's parts. I thought Aaron ekchart did a great two-face, too. And I liked Jim Gordon a lot too.

Heh. I've had four relationships, or three depending on what you count. My first was online with this aussie dude and after four months I think we both kind of realized it was pretty stupid (sorry to online daters). I still talk to the guy and stuff. Next one was 7 months long but most was...

\ Holy crap dude...this is off topic from the debate, but seriously, I hope your luck starts to improve. I would probably have a ton of ulcers too. Perhaps you could try to write to a politician or somebody somewhere with your story? Maybe a news program? Yeah...I'm starting to think some of...

To go off of what Eryth said about robberies, most robbers want to avoid killing someone. Think of it this way, if you got caught, would you rather be charged with robbery or murder? Also, just because someone steals things doesn't mean they want to kill someone. There is a big difference...

Actually...there is a lot of evidence that alcohol introduced into societies where it didn't exist before has caused a lot of depression and crime, although there are other factors that are introduced with the alcohol. The middle aged women who started prohibition weren't just bored housewives...

Well...I'm assuming this rate is a percentage...so a lesser population shouldn't matter because it's a percent of a total... However...I could see where you could argue that other factors keep the homicide rate down. Like...there is no way of completely determining that it is gun control itself...

True, adults have more responsibilities than children, but I still think you're idealizing childhood. When I was a kid, just climbing or playing didn't make all my problems go away. I was still hurt by a friend, still angry at an adult for condescending to me. There are other kids who have...

You bring up a good point. Some people would argue that we've extended our childhood too much. At other places around the world and history, the lack of adulthood responsibilities and behavior (ie working everyday, thinking about building a family, taxes) that many people have in the western...

yep, he's totally in love with me. I get poems. Its lovely
