Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God How does the religious view of creation (intelligent design) make sense?: 3 of 13

Please consider: We were not around 141 years ago either. On that basis, how can we really be sure of the events of 1865? Did the Civil War really happen? No one living can attest to it. But, we do have the history written by those who were there and were eye-witnesses. Even if written history is somehow suspect, we have for...
Computers & Technology > Computers & Technology (Other) Imagining a world without computers: 5 of 21

Sit back and take a moment to just imagine what it would be like with no computers. No more waking up early to check emails, no more posting on this site. How would you feel, better? I believe so. No more worrying about who emailed you and that you have to check 50 emails each day to keep up. Now imagine instead on taking th...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Our next generation: Are things getting better or worse?: 32 of 116

Life is definitely getting worse for our kids. Compare today's kids to the kids from 40 years ago. What ever happened to that small town feeling?

Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Justifying the Fair Tax: 2 of 7

The Fair Tax is the only logical method to move towards.

Even though he isn't a supporter, he will help start this tax going since getting rid of income ...
General The world's funniest joke: 19 of 60

THE CHILI CONTEST Notes from an Inexperienced Chili Taster Named FRANK: "Recently I was honored to be selected as an Outstanding Famous Celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a chili cook-off because no one else wanted to do it. Also the original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at ...
Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should the Bible continue to be used for swearing-in ceremonies and in courtrooms?: 39 of 85

Yes it should! This country was created based on God. On our money it says "In God We Trust." Why shouldn't the Bible be used anymore to swear testifiers in? If they believe in God, then it will help their moral conscience let them tell the truth easier. If they don't, then there shouldn't be any fear from placing a hand on ...
Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Where was God on 9/11?: 18 of 37

He was there and everywhere that day like he always is. God does not interfere in our lives and lets us choose how to live them until the judgment day. If you expected God to help that day with what he may consider just another problem, then why not expect him to prevent Global Warming and extintion of thousands of plants an...
Sciences > Sociology When science and technology does more harm than good: 4 of 8

Are we truly better off with the technology of today? As we get more and more "time-saving" devices, are they truly saving us time or just wasting more? With these "time-saving" devices, shouldn't we be feeling more refreshed and relaxed or are those who are relaxed and refreshed, the people without these devices. It seems t...
