I am always at a loss when I see someone being criticised for being ANTI-WAR. As a Brit, I despise how willingly Blair followed into the war, but that is for another day. What I really don't understand is how they can seriously call Rumsfeld "a true patriot." Perhaps this is because I'm not an...

40%. This pleases me. Continue, fellow Libertarians, but please, if you ARE at CPAC, don't stand up and heckle people. We want to look like the respected and wise party.

I am neither steadfastly for nor against abortion, due to my belief in circumstantial evidence, and background checks on suitability etc. However, I do find that pro-lifers can, at points, be horribly obnoxious. Case in point: This woman was carrying an unfortunately stillborn child. The...

Well I just submitted my question to the open panel: Watch it not get voted as the administration dawdles around their ideas of "wind farms" and "clean coal" and "shale gas".

WHY IS KUMAR WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT. It's official: I hate the Obama Administration with all my heart now.

"A government that is more competent and efficient." THEN STEP DOWN AND LET RON PAUL TAKE OVER.

Hey guys, if we repeal the healthcare reforms, it'll ADD to our deficit. It's true. Barry said so.

He's highlighting what he believes to be the positive aspects of a crumbling nation. Overspending, a collapsing currency, and many other important subjects he could be talking about, BUT NO. We have to hear the sap stories of some ice-cream parlour owners who made "The American Dream." This...

He wants to invest in his "repair of the roads and development of high speed rail" by utilising private investment. Thing is, if I remember rightly, the Chinese were highly interested in investing in American businesses.....

"We don't like bad teachers" CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP "We like good teachers" CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU." CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAP "Change we can believe in." FIREWORKS, SIMULTANEOUS ORGASMS, THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE AND ORCHESTRAL BOOMS. All I can see here is a...

Lets play a game. How many replacement words does Barack Obama use to replace "increased spending"?

Faith, however, is just as unfounded as belief. In terms of an intellectual discussion on religion, I find faith is used as a bit of a cop-out answer, much in the same way that atheists/scientists will use "it will be proven" or something of the sort. Not that I don't believe you mean to use it...

I read your post, but was struck by your phrase "nothingness cannot exist", causing you to write off that section of thought. Whilst "nothingness" cannot exist, the concept of nothingness can. Much in the same way that technically, "infinity" cannot truly exist, only the concept of infinity...

A valid point. You are right in saying that the police should police themselves, but I wonder if there is something stopping them from actually doing so, other than a blue code of silence. Perhaps there is some bullshit set of rules that makes it harder for them to do.

I think in the absence of religion, people would just find something new to fight about. As an atheist, (Sorry OP, also, In before OMG DIRTY ATHEIST LIBERAL AGENDA) I believe that mankind will always have something to fight over, regardless of the presence of religion. It's human nature. We...
