It's not so much fear as it is weakness. Religion is a crutch. Anyone who used to be an atheist and became a believer does not have the mental willpower to exist on their own without the guidance of a god, and fear is one among other factors that are...  [Read More]

I don't think you could convince many people to have sympathy for child molesters/baby-killers. I'm sure it can be done. If the 9/11 killers have gained sympathy from radical Muslims, surely the traffickers and pedophiles could also gain sympathy fr...  [Read More]

Of course it's not about choosing sides with pedophiles and traffickers, just as it's not about siding with terrorists. To think that it's truely that black and white is obviously naive. It's about making sure that the person responsible for stopping...  [Read More]

I'm not sure how much worse it can actually get when you're talking about molesting and then killing babies and children for pleasure. Oh, it could get worse. If Bush tried to do something about it, chances are, traffickers would only gain sympathy,...  [Read More]

Well, then, we can donate money, donate time, or participate in the charities and organizations by going to that country and directly helping the affected people. That's doing _something_. And something needs to be done--the fundamental human rights...  [Read More]

If there is trafficking in other countries, simply put, we can't do anything, and we shouldn't do anything, unless it's through private, non-government charities or other organizations. Like the Red Cross or Amnesty International or something. But I...  [Read More]

The media aren't the ones with the problem. It's the people who watch their programs. If people stopped watching CNN because they did too much Paris Hilton coverage, guess what, CNN would stop doing Paris Hilton stories as much. The media just gives...  [Read More]

You can't just throw the suffix "fascism" wherever you want and say, "Hah. The Government is evil! SMASH!" That's quite fascist of you to try to stop me from doing so! just kidding Why take that decency away? Because at this...  [Read More]

Fascism is a specific ultra-right wing ideology. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism Authoritarianism, however, is a problem among both left and right-wing governments. I use "fascism" to describe any repressive, corrupt governme...  [Read More]

China is not fascist! It's Maoist! Maoist! They are quite left-wing. I consider fascism to be a disease among both left and right-wing governments. Is this some sort of justification for shopping at Wal-Mart? If I don't buy from Wal-Mart the Chines...  [Read More]

It wouldn't have anything to do with who makes the products at all would it? Sweat shops? Forced labour? Slavery? I'm not aware that there is slavery in places like China, Taiwan, etc (maybe there is, who knows). Yes, it's sweatshop labor no questio...  [Read More]

It never made sense to me why people hate Wal-Mart so much. They sell stuff dirt cheap. They help poor people by doing this. Wal-Mart makes a lot of money, and what's wrong with that? They make money because people continue to shop there. They do put...  [Read More]

It was my understanding it did, I always thought it took fewer decce shots to drop an enemy, but i guess your right :D The ACP is way weaker in single player than the DC-17m, but for multiplayer they made it balanced so it's the same. Personally, I...  [Read More]

TK--my dad grew up in the 50's and 60's when you could buy cigarettes at pretty much any age. His parents also smoked so they didn't notice the smell as much, and they both worked outside the home. He hid it quite well for several years, actually, an...  [Read More]

While that might work for you or me, those that have one parent or parents, who might be not around because they're working two jobs or whatnot, or those who fight with their kids, will actually push them to smoke more. Sometimes it can be a form of...  [Read More]

TK, I'd say there are probably two factors that definitely affect this. One is the utter impressionability of teens (peer pressure, glamorization of smoking,etc....) and the insane mentality that they are somehow indestructible. Face it, we're pretty...  [Read More]
