karpatzio I personally adore the number zero, one of the more unique numbers out there. It was totally ignored (In most parts of the old world) and its use was limited as a spacer between sequential numbers until Brahmagupt defined it and its behaviors. Its a really...

Is life worth living without coffee?

bunnyhoover @bunnyhoover (406) • United States 22 May 09

I drink at least a gallon of coffee each day and I feel great! If I ever go for a day without it I get the worst headaches and just don't feel motivated because of it. I sleep o.k. most of the time, about 5 hours a night. I don't...

karpatzio It's the caffeine, and if you can't get by without it, it's because your body is chemically addicted to it. Try going without it for a fe days and you'll start to get headaches when you don't get that caffeine fix, but a couple of weeks without it will do...

"Jesus Never Existed" - Is Kenneth Humphreys right?

DuoMaxwell @DuoMaxwell (953) • United States 23 May 09

I have to say personally i'm not an atheist myself, but i'm also a semi-christian. I'm more of an agnostic or something like that, and during these past few days i've went to this site that has a LOT of sources, evidence and proof...

karpatzio I don't blame religion for all wrongdoings, just a lot of them. If a person kills another, I primarily blame that person for doing the killing. However, there's usually more than enough blame to go around. If a Christian man kills his family because his...

Should cigarettes be made illegal?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 22 May 09

I hate cigarettes! They killed my granny. They're just plain bad. But, I don't think cigarettes should be made illegal for one very good reason. If the government illegalizes cigarettes and makes sale of cigarettes illegal,...

karpatzio I always believed that salad is the food of our food, something to put on your plate so your raw steak can have a nibble and become even juicier. Though i will eat italian salad every now and then when there is no cow around to steal ribs from.

Should rich people pay more tax?

diamania @diamania (7011) • Netherlands 22 May 09

I think they should pay relatively more tax as they are the ones with the metaphorical 'big shoulders' if they pay more tax it means the poor people can pay less tax and thus scrape along.

karpatzio The problem with that view (socialism) is that it is an incentive for people who don't make much to stay there. If you keep taxing the rich more and more what incentive do they have to make more money, they won't then who will keep up all the government...
