    Can we start calling things evil?

    If that's the truth, then there must be evidence to lead us to claim this as fact...what evidence is there that mental evidence is caused by malevolent spirits? If you believe this by faith, then that's fine, but we cannot parade beliefs based on faith as fact. :D Neurologists have much more...

    Caucasian Heritage Night Canceled

    It seems that everyone in the U.S. can freely and openly express racial pride...unless they're white. :D

    World What is Russia doing?

    I'm not saying nothing should be done, but it would be nice if we weren't left to do 95% of it. And as long as we are willing to do that, other nations will sit back and allow us to shoulder the burden.

    World What is Russia doing?

    We cannot police the entire world...we are already being bankrupted because we make war on so many futile fronts. And what do we get for our efforts? We naturally get the hatred of the people whose nations we storm and drop bombs. It is a lose-lose proposition, IMHO.

    Bad dogs or bad people?

    I don't believe in hitting them either...praise/rewards for the good, and a stern voice for the bad, and never use their name when scolding so they will only associate their name with positive circumstances and will be much more likely to come when called. :D

    Cat or Dog?

    I like both...each species has its merits for sure. Dogs are more like us in that they need constant validation whereas a cat's indifference can be admirable. :D As far as mammalian predators go, I think none can top the cat. They are pure poetry in motion. :D

    Bad dogs or bad people?

    I think a lot of people get certain breeds of dog as status symbols, and through their ignorance about proper socialization of dogs and canine nature a problem dog can result. I used to keep big dogs, some of which weighed more than me, but I made certain that as puppies they clearly knew there...

    Famous People who annoy you?

    All of those who are famous for simply being famous annoy me, but my annoyance isn't with them so much but with the public for making them famous. Those who are famous because of some talent and who do not act as if they are above the law are great with me...but those who are famous simply...

    Journalist photoshopping pics

    I think it is fine to enhance the quality of a picture, but to change the actual content is deceptive.

    Hoia Baciu - World's Most Haunted Forest

    As there is no compelling evidence for ghosts, I take the word "haunted" with a huge grain of salt. The link says that people complain of rashes, nausea, etc. after having entered the forest. I think this has more to do with anxiety induced by the power of suggestion than with agents of the...

    Confederate Flag debate

    You see it a lot here in NE Florida. I view it as a thinly veiled symbol of racial oppression. Some call it a symbol of southern pride, but as a southerner myself, I feel no pride in such a shameful chapter in U.S. history.

    What would you like to see?

    Exactly. Opinions that do not resort to hateful and bigoted name calling are so much more powerful and eloquent. If I am reading something and I come across hateful or derogatory terms, I quit reading because I view the author as immature and uniformed, and not worthy of my time. If I am reading...

    Stephen Hawking

    As recounted by Leonard Susskind in his "The Black Hole War - My Battle With Stephen Hawking To Make The World Safe For Quantum Mecahnics," Dr. Hawking was wrong about what happens to information that is sucked into a black hole. It took something like 30 years to prove him wrong, and the...
