Answer to If you answer a religion question and then get negative downratings for weeks, do you start to whine about it in questions and answers all over the board or take it like a (wo)man?

Sun, 18 May 2008 07:16:06 -0700

If you answer a religion question and then get negative downratings for weeks, do you start to whine about it in questions and answers all over the board or take it like a (wo)man?

Out of the two choices I'm not really sure I can answer... I don't see biological sex as a relevant factor to how one 'should' react or behave in this context, but I am also not one to go around whining in questions and answers all over the board. Personally, I try to...

Answer to What kind of situation makes you feel less human that you really are?

Sun, 18 May 2008 07:11:20 -0700

What kind of situation makes you feel less human that you really are?

None; I am either incapable of feeling non-human / semi-human, or incapable of being able to realise the differences between the varying degrees of human-ness, due to 'human' being the only physical and mental state I have -ever- experienced, or know that I have experienced. I...

Answer to Is there a prejudice against Christians today? If yes, what makes you say so?

Sun, 18 May 2008 06:59:56 -0700

Is there a prejudice against Christians today? If yes, what makes you say so?

I cannot, and will not speak for Humanity as a whole, but here on AB there is prejudice -both ways-. I ran a test a while back that involved changing my account to appear at first entirely Atheistic, then secondly entirely (nondescript) Christian. At both stages I wrote exactly the same sorts...

Answer to Who will join me in an "AB Restorative Society"? Your only duty: when you see someone downrated merely for their opinion, toss em some points. You become an officer if you uprate even if you don't agree with the opion but respect their right to state it

Sun, 18 May 2008 06:50:55 -0700

Who will join me in an "AB Restorative Society"? Your only duty: when you see someone downrated merely for their opinion, toss em some points. You become an officer if you uprate even if you don't agree with the opion but respect their right to state it

That seems to me like a simple reversal of what's already happening; instead of people arbitrarily rating people down, we shall begin arbitrarily rating people up. Either way, the points become utterly without meaning or purpose (except to assuage the lusts for having a high number next...

Answer to Do painkillers really "kill" the pain?

Sun, 18 May 2008 06:42:54 -0700

Do painkillers really "kill" the pain?

Yes, they literally 'murder' mr pain who lives inside your head ; ) Hehe, naa... What they do is either act as an anti-inflammatory to try and solve the cause of the pain, or block your pain receptors so that you just don't feel it. As has been mentioned a few times in other...

Answer to Do you think men that dress like women for halloween just use the holiday as an excuse so they can dress like a girl?

Sun, 18 May 2008 04:41:59 -0700

Do you think men that dress like women for halloween just use the holiday as an excuse so they can dress like a girl?

I'm sure some do, but the wording of this question seems to imply that you consider this a bad thing, which I entirely disagree with. However, let us suppose that men dressing as women (or women dressing as men) was indeed a bad thing. If Halloween is an excuse to cross-dress, then all...

Sun, 18 May 2008 04:21:55 -0700

Im going over to Germany for a month where I will stay with a host family for that time, where the host is a girl. I dont want anything to happen between us, and I have a girlfriend who is kind of freaked. How do I retain from doing anything bad with her?

If you are sincere in your love for your girlfriend and honestly do not want anything to happen between you and your host (which I fully believe; I'm not doubting you at all), then the requirement of 'inaction' you have placed upon yourself is self-fulfilling. Also, and quite...

Answer to Gay marriage is now legal is California? What is you though on this?

Gay marriage is now legal is California? What is you though on this?

About f-ing time California caught up with morality, equality, human rights, reason, logic, and compassion, and SHAME on those responsible for the 4 votes against it... They deserve nothing but contempt. Now onto the other 48 states... : /

Answer to One of my female friends told me that she will vote for Hilary Clinton just because she is a woman, what are your thoughts on this?

Tue, 13 May 2008 01:33:22 -0700

One of my female friends told me that she will vote for Hilary Clinton just because she is a woman, what are your thoughts on this?

Your female friend is ruining the electoral process by voting for pointless reasons. Essentially, if that is her main reason for voting, she should abstain entirely (and perhaps try working on her sexism? That's exactly the same as a man voting for Obama or McCain because they're...

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 08:07:27 -0700

Do you think global warming is real?

It's a real issue, we just don't know exactly what is causing it, which leads to people fussing over stupid details and arguing endlessly trying to justify their inaction... I've said it before, but since this is a new question I shall say it again. Even if Global Warming is...

I gave my firend my e-mail password and they went into my account and copies an e-mail that I had sent to my girlfriend. They then sent it to my wife. Is this punishable?

It depends on what you mean... You can't really punish 'them', because you gave them your password... Your wife, however, certainly could punish 'you', if I understood your question correctly to mean that you were cheating on her and your friend sent her evidence of...

Answer to What is something you think is worth splurging on?

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 11:53:03 -0700

What is something you think is worth splurging on?

I suppose it would be good to splurge on charity... Like, any splurge in that area would need to involve large donations, so despite it being frowned upon to show off by making huge donations to charities, the more important thing is that you are making donations; the showiness is secondary...

Try one of those energy drinks *nods* they work very well and as long as you only have one of them, they aren't at all unhealthy (not including any possible medical conditions you might have that would make it unhealthy / dangerous {I can't think of examples, but yeah...}).

How Christians deny the evolution theory, by using scientific evidence or Bible?

Answer to What is the most cowardly way to break up with someone?

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 07:26:10 -0700

What is the most cowardly way to break up with someone?

I don't think cowardice applies well to 'breaking up'... Cowardice implies that the situation would ordinarily lead to danger and pain, which is only the case if the relationship is abusive. Yet, in such a situation to call someone 'cowardly' for not breaking up...

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 05:14:38 -0700

Is the Asteroid Belt the debris of a Planet that orbited between Mars and Jupiter

No, it is an accretion of matter that never 'formed' into a planet. You could imagine the early solar system as one giant asteroid belt (well, it began as a dust and gas cloud, but you get the picture) which gradually clumped together into larger and larger pieces to form the current...

Were adam and eve an Homo neanderthalensis or other early human

An intriguing question... It depends on how you measure when Adam and Eve were. If you do it via time, then they were Homo Sapiens Sapiens (what we are), since they existed only 6'000 years ago. If you do it via supposed mental capacity, then they were the exact point at which Homo...

I think my boyfriend is looking at porn on his PC. He clears his history, and temporary files regularly. Is there any way I can recover the deleted info or monitor his actions from another PC without him knowing?

Yes, but that's illegal. If you don't trust him, then either speak to him about it or leave him. You betraying 'his' trust by illegally spying on his private property without permission isn't going to solve anything, it is just going to satiate your desire to know...

ARE YSL POLO SHIRTS A GAY BRAND ? I WAS GIVEN SOME AS A PRESENT BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT ONLY GAY MEN WEAR THEM. IS THIS NONSENSE?

No they aren't, that's not true, and yes it is. Whoever told you all that is an idiot, who seems to have barely any idea at all about what clothing or homosexuality actually are... That is, if they were actually being serious - I suspect they might have said that more jokingly...

What age was the best of your life?

Hard to say... Either my very early childhood (though I can barely remember any of it at all), or right now. My childhood because I was still so naive that nothing worried or hurt me, and I lived a life of blissful ignorance. Right now simply because I am at a point in my life when I feel...

Do babies talk to each other?

Once they've learned how to, sure. Speech is what talking is, and babies don't speak. Thus they don't talk. They may communicate with visual signals and the like, but they certainly don't talk (or we would hear them doing so).

Tue, 08 Apr 2008 10:20:00 -0700

If cheaters are brave enough to cheat, why can't they be brave enough to admit it as well?

It's not a question of bravery, it's a question of risk-reward analysis. Generally speaking, if someone decides to cheat it is because they believe they will both gain something from it and get away with it. Admitting they cheated would simply negate the benefits of cheating in the...

I have not, because I do not yet have justification or reason to do so aside from sheer terror of the concept of Eternal Damnation, and fear of punishment from those who are more powerful than you is not, under any circumstances, a cause to love them. As it currently stands, I would rather...
