Well in all honesty, the invasion of Iraq was totally unnecessary to begin with. It did not change anything for the better there and it definitely did not help in the war against terror. In contrary a weak Iraq has made Iran feel stronger than ever and allowed them to persue their nuclear plans. Tha...

I live in a country in Europe and I am married to a woman from the US. I personally love the US and having lived there for a while myself, I really appreciated the lifestyle there. That might be because it suits me very well. E.g. I really like being able to go out at night and shop, or go to a Denn...

It kinda makes my head spin a little when I think about it...
What consequences does this have?

Actually our genes are what has the strongest effect on our behaviour.
The environment has less impact that we orginally thought.
As I said, look at our closest relatives, the chimpansees. Of course you should also read up on genetics. You know that science has been arround for a while...

I agree. It is more nature than nurture. Humans are killers by nature. You can see that even in our closest relatives like the chimpansees or the bonobos. They too fight, fight even wars with rival tribes and kill other monkeys to eat them... I dont know if anyone of you have ever seen that (try you...

I dont understand, what is it with the right to bear arms and why is anyone so into that? I mean who seriously wants to have the arms of a dead bear at home?
JK

Yeah and unless you have a nuclear powerplant (to provide the entergy for that laser) that fits on a truck, even making the laser itself smaller, wont help either...

weather != climate

I am all about facts and science, however sometimes facts are twisted and broken out of context to support a certain believe system. Be it right or left, both sides have ideologies that are wrong and have lead to disregard for actual facts in favor our politically correct "studies" that twist facts ...

please dont even get me started on the intelligent design bullshit, which has nothing to do with my opinion anyway. My opinion is based on the need for survival of our western society. Drugabuse is one of the many things that can contribute to its downfall. Other societies seem to be having less of ...

I am outa here, you guys are sooo far beyond any reality, it is a joke! People give a lot of lectures and there are a lot of studies on a lot of things. I am sure I can bring you just as many studies to the contrary. On the medication thing: Most medication, at least here, has to be prescribed by me...

Gee, I was sure hoping that the thing would be sealed so no radiactivity can come out and that the whole thing including shielding gets transported to the refueling plant.

Ok, genetics do have a saying in addiction, no question about it. I am the first to give credit to genetics for a lot of things. However I do not think that I like you attitude about that fact. It seems to me that you are saying "drugs are not bad, people are" which almost sounds like "guns dont kil...

Well I can tell you that smoking pot cant be any healthier than smoking cigarettes. I have yet to see a filter with one of these things. I think that it will kill you just as efficiently as cigarettes do, especially since marijuana is rarely smoked pure but "stretched" with tabacco. So the whole not...

Dude, normally I would be off to smoke a cigarette right now reading our post, since smoking helped me dealing with things that upset me. Of course once you are weened of the nikotine you can deal with anger without it... to some extent anyway. You are talking very knowledgeful about nikotin addicti...
