I would choose the very bottom of Baja Mexico. It gives you nearly a 1,000 mile buffer zone between you and the expected blast zones in the United States and its nuclear allies in the Western Hemisphere.

I would also have a bunker that has approximately two feet thick of ultra high dense concrete (The type that is used in bank vaults). That would be for gamma radiation.

Lethal Injection is just as problematic as any other form of Capital Punishment.

1) Most of the condemned have bad veins due to drug use

2) The barbiturate might not be strong enough for larger size people

3) Companies making the drugs are ceasing to sell to the US because of their own personal views.

Pro's for Electrocution

1) Electricity causes unconsciousness almost instantaneously.

2) Its cheaper and it doesn't cause ethical issues involving doctors compared to lethal injection

3) It is the most effective form of execution that causes deterrence.

I definitely believe that discrimination and prejudice is very much a real thing and I will point out just the things I get discriminated about.

1) I am an atheist

2) My Weight is more 150 pounds

3) I suffer from mental illness

Those are just a few things I deal with all the time

Out of all the countries in the Pacific, Thailand has the highest murder rate against foreigners. To those that I know who have been there, the locals are Extremely Xenophobic and can pose a threat to anyone who decides to check this place out.

I would recommend to anyone that I know to go to the Philippines instead. The locals are very friendly towards travelers and wannabe explorers.

How can it be insulting/disrespectful to a faith that really doesn't exist? Humanity made religion because of a fact that we needed something that would provide a guide to morality, and many other things for different groups of people.

When it comes to the Middle East. The Islamic Republic of Iran is the most radical of them all.

Not to mention that they have the largest standing military in the Middle East. But, I see them more as a threat of "Influence" than as an actual threat to any sovereign country. All countries that are in revolt right now, Libya, Egypt, Syria are being heavily influenced by Iran and it has been proven that the weapons the rebels are being supplied to are from Iran(Except Syria, which is an ally of Iran). They are the ones still causing problems in Iraq and the Taliban are being supplied by them.

They are still many years away from having a nuclear weapon system that can put the whole Middle East in danger.

Since this isn't a matter of who is a better person, An Atheist vs Theist? This is a matter of control and free will. Every human being on this planet has the ability to think for themselves. Unfortunately, speaking for themselves is a different matter. But, no one should be forced to believe in one set of beliefs or another. This is a debate that truly comes out of the novel 1984.

No one should be forced into theism or not.

I knew someone who was deeply Mormon and was a firm believer in Abstinence. She was coming home (Arizona) to see her family for the holidays. She stopped at a rest stop and a serial rapist sexually abused her. unfortunately, the rapist was an illegal and the police didn't do very much to try to find who did this.

She was so distraught about not being a virgin, when her parents left the house. She killed herself with a .357 Magnum while they were away. She meant a lot to me. People like that, you cannot save. They will just find another way to end their pain. My problem was very treatable and I live a happy life today.

This is from my very personal experiences. To be at the point of committing suicide, one must be at his/her very lowest part of his life. He/she feels that there is nothing left for him/her and the best thing to do is go for that sweet release. Like the moderator said, it has many causes and reasons. My attempts were because of my schizophrenia/Manic-Depression. Plus you add in certain things like your girlfriend dumps you for an unspeakable reason. You lose the will to live and Suicide is a means to get away from that pain.

I have been declared dead twice. Spent 10 days in the ICU and my heart will never be the same again. I have to take medication or my heart will go so fast it will "Blow out".

This tragedy hurts everyone around you....I mean everyone! But, at that point. You really don't give a damn what others are thinking about when you are into the act.

With anti-depressants and anti-psychotics, plus certain types of therapy. You can curtail the overall problem that causes the suicide idealizations itself.

It is never appropriate to hit a child. It doesn't matter what setting the child is in. "Corporal Punishment" has been proven to be ineffective and can lead to Severe Mental Illness later on in the person's life.
