soren1 I'm opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances. It brutalises society, sets a terrible example to the young by legitimising violence as a form of vengeance, and there isn't a shred of evidence that it provides a deterrent effect. It also makes a mockery...

soren1 Twitter is a much more 'promiscuous' social networking site than many others, in the sense that you can essentially follow who you like (it's possible to make your updates private but only a minority of people do). Other than that sheer simplicity is its USP....

soren1 From what I can gather, getting a large number of referrals is only half the battle in any case - a lot of referrals turn out to be not particularly active. But to answer your question directly, I haven't asked any of my friends to join, because I always...

Intelligent and Sensitive Abortion Discussion On The Daily Show

anniepa @anniepa (27955) • United States 19 Jun 09

I've taken some flak in the past for using The Daily Show as a source (YES, I DO know it's fake news!) but on last night's show I saw one of the most respectful, intelligent and sensitive debates on the subject of abortion I have...

soren1 I happened to see it even though I live in Britain, and I thought it was quite an awkward exchange - a kind of transparently 'forced' sense of respect for each other's position that neither really felt. The problem with the abortion issue is that neither side...

What do you think about the Eurovision of 2009?

omiami @omiami (412) • Malta 17 May 09

Did anyone watch yesterday's Eurovision? If yes, What was your favourite song? Do you like the winning song? and most importantly, what do you think about Eurovision in general?

soren1 Iceland was my favourite song, but I voted for Portugal and Estonia. I think there are too many entries sung in English these days, so I have a personal rule that I only vote for songs entirely in another language. To answer your other question, I love...

Abortion: Do men have a say?

Aprillynn1 @Aprillynn1 (225) • United States 24 Apr 09

I would love to hear the opinions of woman and men... First, I would like to begin by saying that I remain unbiased about the topic of abortion. I personally would never have an abortion but I would hold my best-friend's hand...

soren1 I think both legally and morally the final decision can only ever be made by one person, and that can only be the woman. However, I do think there's a double standard concerning issues of parental responsibility. Recently I was reading a problem page, where a...

soren1 It's one of those questions to which there isn't a right or wrong answer. Nobody should be pressured into doing what they don't want to do, but equally there are lots of genuine exhibitionists out there who get a thrill from nude photos of themselves being...

soren1 I was born when my mother was almost 43 so I find it hard to take it seriously when people talk about the mere mid-thirties as being too old. If nature hadn't intended 36-year-old women to get pregnant, nature wouldn't have made it possible in the first...

Death penalty.

Kinetic_one @Kinetic_one (28) • United States 30 Mar 09

Do you agree with the death penalty for violent crimes. Some people say that the leagal system has gotten soft on criminals, and as such does not deter thier activities. If we look back in history and even in other countries there...

soren1 In my view life is sacred, so I don't need to look beyond that principle - the state has no moral right to take a life, regardless of circumstance. But even leaving that aside, the death penalty simply doesn't work as a deterrent. Does anybody seriously think...

COUGARS: What do you think of middle-aged women who prefer dating younger men?

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 29 Mar 09

I like the term, "cougars". The images of a fierce tigress pouncing on an unsuspecting prey is weirdly fascinating. OK, I don't want to sound creepy, but that's just how I feel. Regarding the topic, what are your opinions about...

soren1 I can't help you but I hope someone can as I'm confused by this as well! I submitted a blog a few weeks ago but I gave up in despair after a while because I thought it was never going to be approved. So I deleted it from the database. Or so I thought - I...

Anti Gun is Pro Rape

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 13 Mar 09

If you are against the victim of rape or other attacks defending themselves with a gun, you are pro rape. Plain and simple.

soren1 I take it as a rational person you would concede the obvious truth that a significant percentage of rape victims themselves would be against guns being legally available. Therefore you are arguing that some rape victims are in fact pro-rape. Such an argument...

Married to Your First Cousin?

Aurone @Aurone (4755) • United States 5 Mar 09

Would you feel okay about marrying your first cousin? I know its illegal in some states in the US but its not in others. There is actually no scientific data that backs up laws against marrying your first cousin. There is a slight...
