How do you respond to conspiracy theories?

Lady_Justice @Lady_Justice (969) • United States 19 Apr 07

We know that there are some real conspiracies or we wouldn't have laws against "conspiracy to commit" this or that. However, some conspiracy theories may be true but others are really out there. How do you respond? Do you...

Daquin I prefer to use the concept of Occum's Razor: the simplest explanation is most likely the right one. After all, conspiracy theories are simply crated for the fact that people want to feel as though they have some control over their lives.

meme005 @meme005 (49) • United States 9 Apr 07

With all the global warming talk that has been going around lately. Do you think the United nations is doing enough to stop it from happening. Here in the United States factories have to follow strict air quality laws but in other...

Daquin The UN is not doing enough because the UN is a faulty system right now. The European Union however is planning on testing a Fusion Power Plant by the end of 10 years, a reaction where the only bi-product is water. Too bad the US is doing nothing to help or...

Daquin You are hoping so much for the end of the world according to Christian theory? Like it or not, that is what will happen. People need to stop waiting around going "God will come back, God will come back" rending their flesh like some ancient cult. I prefer to...

Evolution; Is there room for God in the equitation?

Chiang_Mai_boy @Chiang_Mai_boy (3882) • Thailand 14 Apr 07

Organizations like the Discovery Institute and other creationist groups say, no. They cast Darwen as the great Satin and blame the results of his work for something called "Scientific Materialism" which they claim is the cause of...

Daquin There is always room for a god in the pot because it is seen as the great and powerful creator of everything which would include evolution; however, there is no doubt that evolution exists since there is evidence of animals changing to suit their surroundings...

How long do you think you could live if you were nailed to a cross?

littlefranciscan @littlefranciscan (18327) • United States 18 Apr 07

I have been wondering if I would have the same stamina as Jesus did? I wonder how long I could survive nailed to a cross or if I would have the courage to die for Jesus and open my hands to receive the nails in my hand to save...

Daquin The Roman style of crucification made sure that you died slowly and painfully so all crosses had a small stand. The purpose was to force the prisoner to slowly suffocate and this normally took 7+ hours. The Bible even has the Romans surprised that Jesus died...

Knowing vs Believing????

Beertjie @Beertjie (976) • South Africa 18 Apr 07

I have been struggeling with the concept of believe for a while now. I though I believed everything in the Bible. I asked myself ; "If I believe verything, why is it not all a reality in my life?" I prayed a lot about this and God...

Daquin Go with neither. To both know and believe are completely untrue statements because they involve no movement in your belief structure. If I say "I know I am a banana" or "I believe I am a banana" no matter what proof someone shows me that I am not a yellow...

What Firefly episode got you hooked?

twilight021 @twilight021 (2059) • United States 27 Feb 07

I'll admit, at first, I was not totally on board with Firefly. Due to the "episode order" chossen by FOX, the first episode on TV (The Train Job) was not the first episode in the series....so needless to say it was a little...

Daquin Unfortunately, back when Firefly was on Fox, I only saw Our Mrs. Reynolds and Jaynestown, both of which got me hooked on the show but due to scheduling and whatnot, I couldn't bring myself to watch anymore. Serenity was the real thing that got me hooked. I...

Nic @academic2 (7000) • Uganda 17 Apr 07

How do you stop praying?

Daquin Sorry that I need to give the atheist point of view here, but prayer is, in my humble opinion, a way to make the prayer feel better. I was raised Catholic and we prayed every night, but, did it do anything? Not really. The truly righteous people do something....

gunless society

mosvph @mosvph (97) • Philippines 16 Apr 07

How about a gunless society? Those school shooting rampages wouldn't have happened if it were not so easy for the gunmen to get a gun. A twelve year old child wouldn't have been able to commit suicide if she didn't find a gun...

Daquin There is always that line "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" and that is true to an extent. Personally, I think we should have the freedom to possess firearms as long as we do not invoke on the rights of others. I know that it is very simple...

Daquin Obi Wan is clearly the better mentor because he is the poster boy for all Jedi in that he follows all the rules, teachings, and he is completely balanced. On the other hand, Qui-Gon is the anti-Jedi. He cares only for the "Living Force" and constantly goes...

Peter Petrelli ---kicks butt!!!!!

Jace0315 @Jace0315 (33) • Philippines 17 Apr 07

I thought that he can only tap into different powers when other people with powers are near him, but he can actually absorb them and use those powers on his own. He is the Super Superhero. What d'ya think?

Daquin He is the perfect foil for Sylar who take powers from others forcefully while Petrelli takes the powers passively. Personally though, I miss the invisible guy.

How has writing helped you?

marielle1571 @marielle1571 (61) • Philippines 16 Apr 07

I find writing as the best way to say what is in my mind. I dont usually have much time to talk to friends, so the little time i have, i try to scribble down my thoughts. It is good therapy for me.
