I felt the same as you, I would have rather dealt with the thought of her cheating and stay together than abandon her if she really had been raped. I never did find out the truth but I heard rumors and other...

In the viral video linked below, do you side with the student who speaks truth for America, or the teacher who spouts lies for Obama? I think a teacher let her personal thoughts/feelings get the best of her and she did not act as I think a professional in any field should act. Regardless of who is right or wrong, there is a way to debate, there is a way to deal with kids and control a classroom. I think teachers should encourage creative discussion and be an unbiased voice of reason and discovery. I don't think her methods...

I can think of dozens of ways people might exploit that.

Do you think shopping online should be made illegal because it is putting shops out of business? On one hand online shopping is better for all because companies do not have to have retail stores, stock, employees and all of the stuff a regular store has so they have a lower overhead and theoretically those savings should pass down to the consumer because companies can afford to charge less for the product. On the other hand, we still have a lot of people that aren't too savvy with online...

If God's existence were proved to an atheist, then what? There's a BIG difference between prove and convince. People are convinced of many things every day. People come to religions and they fall out of them. Proving on the other hand means providing infallable evidence and that has been something no one can provide thus far. There's many gods mankind has created but I know you are referring to the Christian god of some denomination and some...

Why would anyone like to befriend a vampire? I guess it would depend on which style/type of vampire we're talking about. I certainly wouldn't want to befriend a nasty looking Nosferatu, an Aswang, Hannya or a douchebag sparkly vampire or something...but some other vampires might be cool to kick it with. Maybe then I might get to be a vampire. I wouldn't mind trying it out for a few millenia maybe. If I got bored of it I could always just...
