I am planning to buy a new laptop in a few weeks time because my current laptop is nearly NINE years old and the only thing that will run on it is Puppy Linux. The other week the modem port broke so I can't even access the...

marmalaide Yes but what make and model is your laptop? It's not enough to say it is well configured, I can't really tell anything from that.

Imagine you wanted to determine the attitude of Islam and its founder toward women. Probably the thing to do would be to use the Koran and other official Islamic source material to research the true facts. This only makes sense....

marmalaide As I recall, the Catholic church did not appreciate Martin Luther's efforts either. The reformers will have a lot of opposition to overcome but that will only make them more determined.

You have a plain sheet of paper. You have to draw either a circle, or square or a triangle. You have to draw only one figure. Which one will you draw? And will you draw the figure in the middle, top or bottom of that paper.

marmalaide That would mean you are a very confident individual who likes to stand out from the crowd and be the centre of attention. The bad thing is that sometimes you can be a little insensitive to other people's feelings.

marmalaide I would draw a circle in the middle too. Definitely the most aesthetically pleasing option. It's all about balance.

I am an agnostic, but most religious people place me in the same category as atheists because I do not follow any religious doctrine. I thought I'd write this to clear up the differences a little. Agnostic means without...

marmalaide Also, I should add, that language changes over time so even if your definition of agnosticism worked in the seventeenth century, it just doesn't mean that in the modern world. It is like if I were to call you silly and gay, you might take offence, and me...

marmalaide I don't think many Christians would be happy to be defined as deists by the dictionary definition of the word since they generally believe that God IS at work in the world carrying out miracles etc. Of course one can be a religious agnostic. You can...

marmalaide Would be nice if you actually bothered to read my comment before responding... I love books, and I don't think they should EVER be burnt. But, yes, ultimately I care about the destruction of people's lives more than the destruction of any material thing. Sorry...

One of my friends started a discussion on star rating she is going to get as she neared 100 posts.. some expressed their disappointment at their rating being lowered but say they did not care.. Well, what exactly does this...

marmalaide actually the highest number you can get is capped at 10. There is no way you could have 100 even if you were on here 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (which some people seem to be!). And my number went up a day or two ago even though I have...

Every time I hear of a violent occurrence such as a shooting happening, the focus seems to be that tighter gun control laws would have prevented it. I grow increasingly frustrated at this viewpoint. A gun is merely an...

marmalaide I'm sure both points are true. But the primary purpose of a car is to get us places, not kill people, and the reason there are so many accidents is because they are so widely used. (As another person on this thread pointed out, in China bicycles are the big...

marmalaide Hmmm... we in the UK have no guns, and also no dictator. We have a free press instead. It seems to have worked well enough for the past couple of hundred years. I have to wonder where all these people who say that guns are necessary to protect their...
