Does religion prevent us from seeing the real sides of issues?

collegeoptimist @collegeoptimist (86) • United States 26 Nov 07

I was listening to a discussion about euthanasia today, and it came to my attention that many people are completely swayed by their religious beliefs. Many people who were completely against the thought of assisted suicide...

Reclusivehermitguy I'm against suicide/assisted suicide not so much because I am a devout believer in God, but because I believe a person should not give up on life no matter how hard and horrible it gets, nor how painful and sorrowful it gets. I believe it's a cowardly...

Would you fly overseas to marry someone you met online?

cartoon4umaniacs @cartoon4umaniacs (1648) • United States 26 Nov 07

I recently had a long discussion with one of my good friend. He said he has had it with girls here in the US all the girls he come across only want him for his money. So he met this girl online which btw he didn't know she was not...

Reclusivehermitguy I believe it's a bad idea, I wouldn't marry so quickly. I know some people have indeed had successful marriages under those circumstances, but that's kind of rare. At least it's not as bad of an idea as a mail-order bride lol.

I'm back after a few weeks with no computer, it decided to fry the motherboard and cpu, the technician said "it was from lightning" - (well no lightning at time) - he said - "no zap catcher" - (it was plugged into a very expensive...

Reclusivehermitguy Whether I like computers or not solely depends on whether they're working at the moment or not lol. Right now I love my laptop, but two weeks ago....well that's a different story (had to buy a new one, the old one kept crashing). It's all well now though.

Reclusivehermitguy I'd like to visit the Marvel and DC comic book universes. More specifically though, the Batcave and the Fantastic Four's Baxter Building. Fighting alongside Batman, and fighting Dr. Doom with the F4, would be awesome.

Do you prefer Cool Whip or Whipped Cream?

miamilady @miamilady (4910) • United States 26 Nov 07

Some people don't even know the difference! My MOM for example. I reminded her to buy Cool Whip to go with the Pumpkin Pie on Thanksgiving. She brought Whipped Cream in a can. I GOTTA HAVE MY COOL WHIP! I can't eat pumpkin pie...

Reclusivehermitguy It's most certainly Cool Whip for me. I like the taste better, and you can get a diet version of it. Oh nifty, I have some in my fridge, must go raid it now :)

Do flash cards really help children learn?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 26 Nov 07

For years I was convinced that flash cards were nothing more than a waste of time. That is, until I had a kid of my own and tried to teach her simple math concepts. Not the easiest job in the world. We were having a real hard time...

Reclusivehermitguy Back in school, my Spanish teacher used flash cards extensively to teach us. The cards had an English phrase on one side, and the Spanish version on the other. We'd all split up into pairs, and one person would show the other the English phrase, and that...

Expecting Snow...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 26 Nov 07

Are you expecting snow for Christmas where you live? Do you always have snow for Christmas or is it special when you do? When I lived in Michigan we always had lots of snow for Christmas.. much like the picture below (found on...

Reclusivehermitguy I always get snow here in Western New York (upstate) during Christmas. I live on quite a high elevation hill, so I tend to get snow before anyone else does, and have it longer as well. I've already gotten about 4" of snow overall, but right now it's raining.

Reclusivehermitguy My parents sleep in separate rooms because they both snore and wake each other up. It started to make them quite tired. Granted, they did have some minor argument problems at one point, but it's all about the ZZZzzzz.....'s. Despite that, whenever I hear...

Do you believe in the concept of mortal sin? Have you ever committed one?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 25 Nov 07

Growing up in the Catholic religion I was taught that there are mortal and venial sins. The mortal sins were the huge sins that to me only adults committed like murder, stealing and adultry. They had to know they were doing wrong,...

Reclusivehermitguy I also believe that a sin is a sin, for the most part. I don't agree with Catholics on a few things, but then again I suppose I don't agree with most Christian denominations. First and foremost, I believe in God, and in what Jesus taught. Secondly, I try to be...

what makes a man: his experiences or his origin?

diannebcrs @diannebcrs (1549) • Philippines 25 Nov 07

in your opinion, does man make a man because of his experiences in life or where he really came from (family, community, etc)? i believe that a person becomes who he is now because of his experiences. in all the challenges in...

Reclusivehermitguy What makes a man who he is, are mainly his experiences. A good ole Christian family could have a child who turns out to be a warped Hitler-like person. It happens more often than you think. On the flip-side of things, it's not unheard of for a person born to a...

What Should The U.S. Do About the Illegal Alien Problem.

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 25 Nov 07

This has become one of the biggest political footballs of our time. Politicians court the future block vote, should illegal aliens be given "amnesty" and fast tracked to citizenship. Industry says they are needed to help keep the...

Reclusivehermitguy Figured I'd throw my own idea into the ring: the U.S. could increase it's ability to process citizenship applications in a faster manner. Many illegal immigrants are just those who didn't want to bother waiting two years to get into the U.S. Now if we could...

Do you really care about politics?

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 22 Nov 07

Reclusivehermitguy I hate politics, but then again it's extremely important, so I do keep up with it by watching the news and what not. Honestly, things were so much more simple back in the King and Queen days :).
