Britteny does not have talent, Britteny has an attractive body, that's why she's popular, because she's f(bleep)able. She's not a good singer, she's not a good dancer, but she's popular because the media says so and she's hot. Why does the media say...  [Read More]

So I guess my question is two fold: Sure these role models are made up, but what they represent is more than just lines on paper, why, if you think so, or why not, do we find it more compelling to idolize Tupac and Britteny over Superman and Wonder W...  [Read More]

YES. Even though I have a tremendous amount of respect for the US military(moreso than the rest of the government) and love democracy, I think that if we went to war with Iraq JUST to overthrow Saddam and set up a Democratic government, it was morall...  [Read More]

Acting on extremist, especially violent extremist, ideals and carrying out physical violence against other people or repressing ideas contrary to the worldview you espouse, IS morally wrong. So you are claiming that the US Army, fighting to promote...  [Read More]

The definitions of the words we are using don't change during an argument, however. If a rock fits the definition of limestone, then it is limestone. If it doesn't, then it's simply not limestone. The definition of god is more interesting because mon...  [Read More]

Rogue, you seem to suggest that "extremism" is all bad. However, what if one extreme is actually true? It doesn't seem to make much sense that the people advocating this idea compromise on it if they're interested in the truth, don't you ag...  [Read More]
