Its a proven fact that sex DOES sell, and as long as they're not breaking any laws (actual or ethical), I'm perfectly okay with whatever marketing techniques companies use to sell their products....  [Read More]

I'd say this find lends more credibility to evolutionary theory, if anything. Shows that the "impossible odds" argument that creationists tend to use isn't actually all that relevant, as the evolutionary path isn't a straight line....  [Read More]

Guns are exactly the same, their purpose depends entirely on the gun in question. What do you do with a 50 cal sniper rifle? You blow people's heads off. You don't go deer hunting. No, .50's are perfectly good deer rifles. Not .50 BMG, except under...  [Read More]

So I ask, if hunting with said gun would be a waste, and home defense with such guns are going to be ineffective or entirely excessive, WHY do you need to own an operational one? That's why I specified "with license and training." I don't...  [Read More]

Or perhaps more accurately people used that vagueness to find loopholes that allowed them to own weapons that were overkill. But what, exactly, constitutes overkill? I don't think current gun laws, with their protectionist regulations and stupid lo...  [Read More]

Sometimes I wonder if most of the celebrity/pop-culture "news" is put out there just to keep peoples' minds off important things... But I just bought 6 more books today, including a copy of the 9/11 Comission Report, so I'm not overly conc...  [Read More]

*shrug* It's a 100+ year old American tradition. The media basically started the Spanish-American war, with the whole "remember the Maine" thing. They wield far, far too much power, and they've established a cartel-like clamp on information...  [Read More]

Everyone has an ax to grind, remember that. Of course, it seems as if some time in the last few years journalists have forgotten how to put the ax-grinding on hold for a bit, and are more than content to tell us what they think we ought to think, ins...  [Read More]

practically everything mentioned is authorized in the Constitution while we're at war! Source? "Practically everything" still leaves "something" that violates the constitution. I'd call that grounds for impeachment, or at least...  [Read More]

In general, I think the term "Surge" is pointless. They got some reinforcements, of course operations will be more effective. Maybe things will finally start to quieten down over there. @Garfield- What's wrong with Ron Paul? I thought he f...  [Read More]

I think that the entire war on drugs is unconstitutional. People should, in the end, be able to choose what they put into their bodies. The drugs that are now illegal were far, far less a problem in the late 19th century when they were legal and regu...  [Read More]

The problem is that most people don't even KNOW Iran is a democracy, so I'm aiming for shock value here. Bah, the people of Iran do nothing more than elect the theocracy's mouthpiece. Hopefully there'll be another bloody revolution, but this is unli...  [Read More]

It's a legitimate form of business as far as I'm concerned. Like all businesses they have to conform to certain guidelines, to prevent exploitation(which happens to some degree in ANY industry), and they should be expected to advertise in order to pr...  [Read More]

Who cares whether they "deserve" it or not. As long as people are willing to spend their money to see movies and sporting events, and buy sports and movie memorabilia the athletes, stars, celebs, etc. WILL be paid that much. AS long as the...  [Read More]
