The death penalty, as it is carried out now, has no deterrent upon would be murderers. Mainly because we let them live off of us for decades before their sentence is carried out. If our death penalty was carried out within a year of sentencing and put on public view it MAY have some deterrent effect. However, it is my unders... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Our society is letting go of its morals: 15 of 97
Are we losing our morals? Or do we have such high expectations that we are doomed to fail before we even start? In order to answer this question we must first decide what morals are.

Celebrations & Holidays > Engagements & Proposals The groom's role in the bachelor party: 3 of 13
The bachelor party historically has been one of drinking and debauchery. A last night of freedom and being single. Complete B.S. if you ask me! You are not single at your bachelor party, you have already committed to your fiance and that, in my opinion makes you married. The ceremony is just a detail. That being said, the pa... More..

Education > Educational Philosophy Should schools be allowed to teach creationism alongside evolution as part of their science curriculum?: 40 of 78
Definitely NOT! For a simple reason, it is not science. The idea of creationism, a term I feel is misleading and demonizing, cannot be proved or even tested.
