How safe is the US from a terrorist attack? Not especially safe and I don't know that we should make ourselves much safer than we are. Security and freedom are kind of a zero sum game. The more alarms and locks you put on your house the more inconvenient getting in and out becomes and false alarms become common, sometimes so common that real ones are not taken seriously.

Would you advise a client to dump Tiger Woods? If by client you mean an advertiser it would depend on what was being advertised.

Answer to:
Are women more discriminating about their choices of sexual partners than men and, if so, why? I believe they are. Your question is related (but by no means identical) to your question regarding whether females are more promiscuous than men. There are ways to lose at sex. Pregnancy, abuse and disease hit women harder than they do men. And of course there is a lingering social sense that a woman who has too many sexual partners is not ideal wife material.

Should gay marriage be legal in the U.S.? Why or Why not? Ultimately yes. But it should be enacted into law, not sued into existence. To do so will leave the country divided over the issue and it will take much, much longer for people to accept. . Gay people can already get civil unions that take care of most of the legalities of marriage. Before that they could adopt each other and...take care of most of the legalities of marriage. . When...

Non-Christians, Agnostics, and Atheists. Are you offended by religious Christmas music? No I like it although I strongly dislike 'Christian music' of recent vintage. It's usually poorly written, overwrought and somehow cheap. Christians tend not to judge it on the same merits as other music - or one might say that a new merit, earnest belief, trumps all others. . Now that I've gotten that out of the way, I love Christmas carols and music and often prefer...

The King of Morocco has dutifully sacrificed a sheep to commemorate Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of religious obedience.

I find the story of Abraham and his son to be one of the least compelling Biblical stories.

Some analysis maintain that the US is poorly served by Congress that it is often beset by inaction and localism. Congress maintain that the institution is a superior deliberative and representative institution. Which argument is more persuasive an dwhy? There's an old saying, 'no one is safe when Congress is in session'. Point being that when a few hundred people can vote wars, conscription, taxes and punishment at will the notion of inaction being a bad thing doesn't actually apply.

How do you explain that in Germany, where on some roads you can drive as fast as you want as long as you keep it safe, there are less cruel accidents than anywhere else?

OLDCW is right about there being relatively few places without speed limits. And my understanding was that if you were driving over 130 kph whatever happened as a result of it was all your fault.

Deciding to believe the opposite helps define boundaries after which (we hope, oh god how we hope) a child will begin forming his or her views from synthesis of information. . Little punks.
