I think you are ALL drinking the Kool Aid of one group or another!

katran @katran (585) • United States 2 Jul 09

You know, I am getting really fed up with all of the discussions that I am reading about politics in this country. Both the conservative and the liberals accuse one another of being brainwashed, and you know what? Their BOTH...

Sexism in the geek world?

katran @katran (585) • United States 29 Jun 09

http://geekgirldiva.entertainmentearth.com/2009/06/open-letter-to-la-times-from-geek-girl.html I just read this blog post from a female blogger that I really like, and I was frankly appalled. I did not think I would ever see...

The Health Care Panic

katran @katran (585) • United States 15 Jun 09

I have been reading through discussions in the politics section today, and it seem like every other one is about health care. I am amazed at how panicked people are that things might be changing, and it seems like no one really...

I wish some people would get over themselves!

katran @katran (585) • United States 11 Jun 09

How often have you disagreed with an OP simply to get a response from them that said something like "If you don't agree with me, then don't post in my discussions" or "If you don't like my discussions, please stay out of them"?...

Something for Christians to think about regarding gay marriage

katran @katran (585) • United States 17 May 09

I myself am a Christian, and yet I cannot understand why so many of my fellow Christians are in adamant desire of a marriage amendment. We could argue about whether or not it is moral, but that is not the reason why I don't...

Can you be a Christian and still think being gay is okay?

katran @katran (585) • United States 2 May 09

I realize that this is a controversial topic, and that is why I am starting it, to be honest. I have tried as much as possible to not take a side in this argument, because it is difficult for me. I come from a very religious...

Do you think there should be torture of any kind?

katran @katran (585) • United States 2 May 09

I know that the United States has been buzzing about waterboarding lately and whether or not that constitutes torture. I personally do not care whether you LABEL it as torture or not, because even it is torture it is about as mild...

Concealed Hanguns on College Campuses

katran @katran (585) • United States 27 Apr 09

There is legislation in the works in my great state of Texas (and also in a few other states I believe) that will allow people who have concealed weapons permits to carry their guns onto college campuses. College campuses are...

What would he have to do to lose your support?

katran @katran (585) • United States 14 Apr 09

I know there are still some people who hold fast to support of Obama, and I cannot understand why. If you consider yourself an American, you should be as scared as the rest of us right now as far as I'm concerned. Let me just list...

Is it about time for the Church to be overhauled?

katran @katran (585) • United States 30 Mar 09

My preacher gave an amazing message in church this morning that really made me think (and also really made me cry). He was telling the story about how the Christian church has evolved over time, starting back with its roots in...

What are some other things we can blame on Bush?

katran @katran (585) • United States 12 Mar 09

I feel that we have not blamed Bush for all the things he deserved to be blamed for. He was the worst president - No, the worst PERSON - NO, the worst LIVING THING EVER...so obviously he needs to be blamed for some more things....

If we're blaming the current economic crisis on Bush....

katran @katran (585) • United States 11 Mar 09

Shouldn't we blame the terrorist attacks on Clinton? Just a thought. I foresee that in the next 1-4 years, everyone will be blaming everything bad that happens on Bush, but how come no one blamed that bad that happened during...

Do you think the American health care system should be reformed AT ALL?

katran @katran (585) • United States 11 Mar 09

I know a lot of you will have the instant reaction of "NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT," but just hear me out for a moment first. When I ask if it should be reformed, I do not mean to imply that we should head towards a socialist system...

Have you ever seen a movie get a standing ovation in the theater?

katran @katran (585) • United States 26 Feb 09

This happened to me once. I went to see Seabiscuit on opening night, so naturally there were a lot of pony nerds like me, and when he won the race against War Admiral the theater went crazy cheering, and we actually gave the movie...

Are there any non-religious people who are pro-life?

katran @katran (585) • United States 17 Feb 09

My previous discussion was on the topic of abortion, and I noticed that one person who I was arguing with automatically assumed I was Christian because I am pro-life. She assumed right, I must admit, but I was just wondering if...

12-year-old speaks out on the subject of abortion

katran @katran (585) • United States 16 Feb 09

This little girl wrote this speech for her 7th grade class. I have never heard such an eloquently stated argument. I actually cried a little at the end when she quotes Horton Hears a Who. I always believed that children are...

How does your love interest get along with your family?

katran @katran (585) • United States 15 Feb 09

I had a couple serious boyfriends before my current boyfriend, but I did not like their families very well and they did not like mine. One of my boyfriends really did not like my mom, which is part of the reason that I broke up...

The only "us" and "them" is US - the people - & THEM - the politicians

katran @katran (585) • United States 14 Feb 09

I just, quite unfortunately, read a couple of very hateful discussions, one from a conservative perspective and one from a liberal perspective, and I have to say that I am pretty disappointed with humanity as a whole right now. It...
