Personally, I don't use social networking sites all that much. But generally I think that facebook has a better layout and looks much nicer. Myspace has become too cluttered and full of spammers and shitty bands. I would appreciate a simple social networking site, but there's no money in that.
The fact that their music is at the same time artistic, intelligent, crude, melodic, dark, funny, and extremely well made makes them the best band ever. Also the fact that when I listen to their music, I feel good makes them the best band ever. They don't give in to trends, they consistently make music that doesn't deviate from their core style, but doesn't sound exactly like the album before it. In a time where 90% of music sounds the same, Tool maintains their unique sound while building on their style and producing music and lyrics that inspire and promote thought.
Who has the right to say who we are allowed to love and in what manner? The government should not be interfering with the personal lives of citizens. Same sex couples are no different than "conventional" couples. They should be allowed to marry as any other citizen.
I'm not saying incest couples should be allowed to marry, just that they should not be told that they cannot love someone. Too much government will limit our personal freedoms.
Turkey is currently trying to join the EU, yet they consistently deny people inalienable rights. They block websites and censor television and news. They have a law called the insult law that denies the people the right to insult someone else, in a sense that comes down to individual censorship. Insulting the founder of modern Turkey is a severe offense. While insulting leaders in America is almost encouraged.
While I do think he is the best candidate out of the three possible that are given to us at this point, I don't think he should be the next President. I think the next President should be Mike Gravel. His standings are more in check with mine than any other possible candidate, Ron Paul is a close second.
I don't think religious doctrine should be taught in public schools as truth. But I do feel that teaching religious philosophy and aspects of religion is a good thing. It is good for people to know what other religions believe. Also, many religious books are fine literary works, and it would be wrong to deny people the ability to read literature.
Give people the freedom to make their own laws as you go and many will die. In order for a large society to survive, some form of government is needed to protect the people. So a dictator may rule in a totalitarian manner, but as long as society stays civil, it would be better than anarchy.
I don't see why I should have to pay for something that my ancestors may not have even had a hand in. Expecting white people to pay black people because their ancestors were slaves is pure racism. If a charity was created to pay these people and nothing was required of the average citizen, I say go for it. But forcing me to pay would be an infringement on my rights.
Agreed. The probability of out planet being able to support life is so amazingly small, that there must be another somewhere out there that falls within the same window of probability. Whether or not we will ever meet another intelligent life form is pretty slim, but finding some kind of life that did not originate on this planet, no matter what level, I think, is pretty good.
Generally, no. Not everything is black and white. I think for the purposes of this site, there should be a 2 sided debate with an extra neutral comment system, allowing someone who doesn't agree with either side to state an opinion or just comment on the question.
