we invaded IRAQ to overthrow saddam and find and destroy the weapons of mass destruction (which by way we havent found yet in more than 3 years). Was it the right move logically not patriotically? Isnt it true that we are only...

contagion17 Actually, Saddam didn't let the UN inspectors in for a very simple reason: air raids. Originally, Saddam was compliant with UN regulations on inspections. Then a strange thing started happening, the inspection sites were being destroyed by US air raids. At...

I recently responded to a discussion on here of someone who said they were proud to be white. I felt that that was great. He was standing up for his culture and proclaiming what he felt was true. Then he went on to say how America...

contagion17 My entire first post had nothing to do with atheism. It was entirely based upon the plausible beginning of religion. Your point is right in saying that laws control society, but the religion makes it a moral issue for the practicioner. The point of having the...

contagion17 Personally I am vehemently pro-choice. Is it better to ruin 3 people's lives than to just get rid of it? No matter the legality or morality of the situation, women will always find a way to get rid of it. If the government restricts abortion in the U.S., women...

contagion17 Forgive me for this... but I really fail to see any point in your argument at all. What you're saying is that if there was a state of anarchy without moral restraint, people would go around killing eachother and raping each other. Well great job, you're...

Do you think students should be allowed to use calculators? I have real mixed feelings about this. It is sad how many kids to do not know simple addition/subtraction/multiplication/division. But, I also understand that it is...

contagion17 To add a new perspective on this discussion: I am a student in high school. I will be turning 17 on Friday, and I use a graphing calculator regularly. Also, I have used a calculator of some sort for many years, as long as I can remember really. Yet still, I...

contagion17 It is a clear fact that numerous religions have a significant number of points in common (see my post before for the full synopsis), especially respect, love, and harmony for others. It is also true that religion did not begin as one and then branch off to...

contagion17 In my humble opinion, Religion was created by the leaders of civilization as a means by which they could control their population. By explaining things that people do not understand (i.e. the sun rising, the moon, the stars, the cycle of life, death,...
