Do you think the world would be better without religion?

CrazCo @CrazCo (409) • Canada 9 Aug 08

I do. First of all less wars would have occurred. I mean just look at the Jews and Muslims in the Palestine/Israel land. Also we would have saved so much money that we use to build churches, mosques, give to the church, etc and we...

Pirate_Arg I agree that getting rid of religion would probably be a good move. The problem is that with wars it is quite possible that religion was simply the excuse used to get the masses involved and not the actual reason that there was war. If religion is taken out of...

Pirate_Arg Don't scools have better things to worry about than dress code? I've heard about this "education" thing that can sometimes take place in schools, perhaps they could move their focus off useless junk such as boys that have to have short hair (because otherwise...

Pirate_Arg Yes, the Internet is full of half truths and whole lies but there is also plenty of valuable correct information out there. You just need to evaluate the sources that you are reading in terms of reliability and also check multiple sources. One person may...

Pirate_Arg I don't think that it really exists as some funny cosmic force which is there to keep the balance but I do think that it is a good idea to follow anyway. It is just generally nice to do good things to help people. Perhaps that warm fuzzy feeling you get...

Pirate_Arg Really reminds me of the Pirates of Penzance. If you don't know the story, Frederic is accidentally apprenticed to a band of pirates (instead of a pilot) and gets to leave on his 21st birthday. Shortly after he leaves (and teams up with the police to kill all...

Pirate_Arg Diablo II is the best game ever. If you haven't already wasted half of your life playing it, now is the time to start. Another good game is Hellgate London but I can;t get past how they don't have LAN multiplayer. I can't play it over the internet (I could...

what's the purpose of splitting?

Pirate_Arg I'm afraid I don't understand the question. What do you mean by "splitting"? You mean like breaking boards (splitting them in two) or do you mean spreading your legs out to go into the splits (possibly as a streatching exercise) or is there some other meaning...

What Do You Think Of The Pope?

etnad0 @etnad0 (230) • United States 8 Jul 08

How do you feel about the way some Catholics almost worship the Pope? Do you feel that the Pope really represents Christ on earth? What do you think God would say about what the Pope does?

Pirate_Arg I don't trust the current pope. He looks way too much like Darth Sidious. Apart from that though, I don't think that there is a big problem with the pope in general. The church is a huge organisation, someone has to be the leader that keeps everyone working...

Pirate_Arg I'm sure I've done this once before but I'm going through it again now. The hardest one so far is the one which says "Do not press the red button." How could pressing a button become any more tempting than that?

Pirate_Arg It sounds like your husband should be hiding them from you and giving them to you one little foil wrapped package at a time. You can't go over the top and eat them all if you don't know where they are and if you really like them then there isn't any reason to...

Pirate_Arg Ok, I'm going ignore the fact that this letter has been proven false on Snopes and talk about the silly woman in it because that is the point I find interesting. In what way does "two fifty" not mean $250? Does she really expect to get what would usually be...

How much water do you drink?

belhaven14 @belhaven14 (454) • United States 8 Jul 08

Pirate_Arg It varies on what I'm doing. I like to have a glass of water every now and then but I probably don't end up drinking quite as much as I should. Come to think of it, I should probably start making an effort to drink more water and see if it makes me generally...
