This is probably true, actually, although I had to sit here for a few moments chewing it over. The best example I can think of to back this up is people who said they would vote for Obama back in the fall out of fear that they would be considered racist if they admitted to supporting McCain.

The determination to give equal rights and always be politically correct may be harmful in that it leads to the acceptance of things that otherwise would not have been accepted. Is this actually harmful? I'm not sure. This is a bit too big for my head, and I'll need to think on it some more.

Is that what you're trying to say?

I would absolutely commit crimes to get that money. Absolutely. 100% yes. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall!

That's actually true when it comes to nations. I mean, look at Rome.

Well, actually, you have to admit that she needs all the help she can get... and maybe what you consider bad choices she considers good choices! /shrug

People actually need those spots. Will it really kill you to walk the extra couple of yards?

Without face-to-face contact, online debaters can be particularly vicious without feeling any sort of human compassion. I also enjoy classroom debating much more. It's more personal and enjoyable and I love getting fired up and arguing with my peers. :)

Yes, I suppose that's true. It just doesn't feel right, somehow, but for each person it'd be different. I can't judge.

I may be bigoted since I myself am, in fact, female, but I can't imagine wanting to deceive someone about my endowment. Not that I need to. ;)

I love to read. I'm currently reading the fourth "Sookie Stackhouse" novel, "Wuthering Heights," "The Chocolate War," and... I think that's all. On my list of books to read next are "Oliver Twist," "Of Mice and Men," "Fallen Angels," and "Pride and Prejudice."

Don't give up beer! Give up food!

The minimum length for an argument is 50 characters. The purpose of this restriction is to cut down on the amount of dumb jokes, so we can keep the quality of debate and discourse as high as possible.

This would work if Kukla's argument didn't hold water and if the governmental programs worked the way they were supposed to. Ho hum.

The real question: how did you get your font in blue and red?

CD was such a lonely, sad place without him.

It's an interesting idea, but... I don't know. Something seems off. Maybe it's my own personal thing, like, I don't think I could ever give my infant up for adoption or give someone else custody of him/her or donate my eggs, just because the idea of possibly meeting my child someday and not knowing it freaks me out. So maybe that's just me.

But maybe if there was a way to transfer the embryo from the mother's body to some other system in which it could safely grow... hmmmm.

Now that I think of it, most smart people are thin... well, now I have one more reason to attend class.

Oh. You're right. That's clever.

Ah, but just because we can do these things, it doesn't mean it's our purpose!

I always resort to... the meaning of life is to search for the meaning of life.

Wouldn't that make us all conservationists trying to conserve different things?

Although I hope I'm not not conservative at all. The far left is just as bad as the far right.

Absolutely! The far left and the far right balance each other out; besides, ideas couldn't be formed without a juxtaposition.

Holy hell, he does!

A man attracted to women (a.k.a. a Lesbian after a sex change) is a straight man. A man attracted to men (a.k.a. a Lesbian after a sex change who then becomes attracted to men) is a gay man.

Easy.

I agree with all of that. Regular bras are much prettier, much more comfortable, and give a much better shape.

I most definitely have Young Timer's Disease, mind and body. I'll walk into one room to get something and forget why I went in there. Not to mention that my joints seem to be deteriorating for absolutely no reason and I'm seeing my third orthopedist on Tuesday. What a party!

Bah. What nonsense. If perhaps "happiness" was replaced with "contentment," I may buy it. But I don't measure happiness as contentment. I am not happy when I'm content. I need to be stimulated, excited, engaged, and being old and Republican doesn't really seem to suit that very well.

Besides that it's too late, I don't really know if I could do this. If it wasn't actually my first time, and I lied brilliantly that it was, I would most certainly have sex for money! But everyone always remembers their first--forever--and what kind of person would buy another's virginity? The skeeviness of it would turn me off entirely for my first time.
