Sheri @tuckersheri (1327) • United States 17 Nov 09

dookuman I find it kind of sad that such beliefs can still latch onto a large group of people in this time. We're in the 21st century here. I'm almost certain that no credible 'scientist' thinks the world will end in 2012; there is no evidence for such. NASA has even...

Why are you in your religion?

bluesinjid @bluesinjid (658) • Canada 3 Aug 09

There are lots of different view points of religion, and I will certainly not talk about it here, but have you ever wondered why you are part of some particular religion? Like, for me, I am brought up to my religion because my...

dookuman Well, the religion I was originally in I was brought up in it by my parents. Now I am in a different religion because I actually put some thought into what I believe and researched extensively. I find it quite sad that most people are indoctrinated into a...

Drugs in the US

phildozer @phildozer (284) • United States 27 Jul 09

when it comes to drugs of all sorts, we are one of the stingiest countries in the world, but is it really benefiting us? The age required to buy alcohol is 21, but people can enlist, vote, drive, and smoke at age 18? The war on...

dookuman Oh, but prohibition made people more religious! Catholic(and other churches involving mass/communion) attendance shot up, and we can thank them for preserving the wine industry through prohibition. Kidding aside, I think it is utterly useless to ban drugs....

What does loneliness mean to you

suprad1 @suprad1 (251) • India 1 Aug 09

Do you like to be lonely at times? Or do you like to be alone throughout? How has loneliness helped you in your thought process or has it lead you in a wrong direction?

8 responses •

dookuman Excessive loneliness can be detrimental, but it has its benefits. When one is lonely, they tend to not be so optimistic, and be more practical, which can be a good thing. Also, loneliness puts one in a position where they can think independently of others...

Moderation in all matter, any exceptions

ifancy @ifancy (63) • China 31 Jul 09

There is such a thing as moderation in all matter. It is an age-old wisdom and I am deeply convinced of it, especially when it comes to diet. For example, as an old saying in my culture goes, 'Control your meals seven% full'....

moderation

dookuman I find moderation useful in many cases, but such things as peace, love, logic, thinking, etc, you can't really go wrong without moderation.

dookuman I think everyone wants to grow up a bit earlier in time than they did because they see things and think "Aww, I was just to young for this!". I personally would love to have grown up in the future, say around the 22nd century would be good. But that is...

dookuman Yes, people should be able to practice their own religions, as long as they do not intrude others with their ways. While I think going to jail for handing out Bibles may be harsh, the guy was doing something that doesn't seem very smart. To put it in...
