If God is Dead, Why Are WE Still Alive?

heartuvgold @heartuvgold (493) • United States 7 Mar 07

If there were no God, wouldn't there be no good only evil in the world? God represents good, and Satan represents evil, so it stands to reason... if there were no God there would be no good. We would have no war because...

bkalafut I fail to see why the answer to a question of theology would have the effect of sending one's emotions and hormones out of control. For a good start on morality outside the framework of religion, read up on Kant's categorical imperative. Neither Kant nor...

What kind of fish should we get for our aquarium?

jillbeth @jillbeth (2705) • United States 2 Mar 07

We just set up a 35 gallon aquarium (fresh water) but don't have any fish for it yet. I like fish that are lively and active. What would you recommend? (Hubby wants to put bass and crappie in it but I told him no way!)

flower horn

Hai, Friends any body know about flower horn fish..

3 responses

bkalafut Flower horns are a grotesque hybrid of South and Central American Cichlids, originating in East Asia. Compared to wild strain fish, I don't see the appeal. They're ugly, large, mean, and far too expensive.

Questions About Egg Laying Fish - Blood Parrots

clownfish @clownfish (3269) • United States 5 Mar 07

Hi! I recently learned how to tell my blood parrots apart and if I'm seeing correctly, there's a really good chance I have a male and a female. Today they were swimming around like crazy, upside down, chasing each other, and...

bkalafut I hate to break it to you, but blood parrots are a sterile hybrid, sort of like mules. They're trying to mate but will never produce viable eggs. Removing eggs or fry is a toss-up. With some species of egg-depositing cichlids it's best to let natural...

bkalafut Obama has laid it out on the table: socialized medicine and stronger unions by 2012. I've read his book, too, and I'm not impressed. He's a class warrior and he's only familiar with a caricature of his opponents. He also likes to say that government can't...

What causes the earth to continue rotating on its axis?

w1z111 @w1z111 (985) • United States 6 Mar 07

Ever wonder how or why our planet continues to rotate on its axis, millions & millions of years after it was formed? Information on the net is a bit confusing, unless you understand the "conservation of angular momentum"...

bkalafut Why is this a question? What would make it stop? The notion that motion requires a cause is on the ash heap of history. Linear momentum is conserved in the absence of an external force, and angular momentum is conserved in the absence of external torque....

bkalafut I've had to teach college students; while they mellow out by that age, many of them still haven't learned propriety or manners. (It's a state college.) Someone has to put the foot down, and it might as well be you! I'd have told the pencil kid "What makes...

Do you like pizza with sea fruit's???

I don't like any sea fruit's so i don't like pizza with sea fruit's, you?

bkalafut Anchovies go nicely with other common pizza toppings. Most seafood seems to delicately flavored for pizza, though. Shrimp, mussels, oysters, fish, etc. would likely be overpowered.

Is it possible to make a pizza without tomato sauce?

2timothy @2timothy (794) • Philippines 5 Jan 07

Is tomato sauce an absolute requirement to a pizza? What if the flat bread has cheese, mushrooms, pineapples, sausage, onions, bell peppers, and all the others common toppings but without the tomato sauce, is it still a pizza, or...

bkalafut It's still a pizza. Most pizzerias will make pizza without sauce on request, and one famous pizza recipe, pizza margherita, doesn't have any sauce at all. Worth considering is that the tomato was first introduced to Italy in the late 16th century; pizza...

sylviekitty @sylviekitty (2083) • United States 14 Dec 06

National Health Care

somnolence @somnolence (460) • United States 20 Jan 07

bkalafut Call it a "national health care system", call it "socialised medicine", call it whatever you like, the answer is no, it should not be instituted. When healthcare is "free" or subsidized by the government there will be shortages, just as when price controls...
