Nuclear warfare, economic collapse, there's -plenty- of reasons why humans will wipe themselves out.

Jimi Hendrix. Best guitar player that ever lived, died, or rocked out.

You know, there's not a rule that words don't count if they're not capitalized.

Oh no! Free healthcare and education! Who's suffering will we profit off of now? Oh, wait, we still have insurance.

To quote the words of the great man, Bill Hicks:

“I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, okay? That's all we are.”

Well, a free market economy doesn't do well when there's large variations between customers, such as now.

And they don't pay their fair share, due to the fact that they make an innumerable higher amount of money than you or I, and yet they pay a somewhat higher amount, and that's it. I have no idea how much they're being taxed now, but I suppose if it's raised five percent, the government would gain money, and they wouldn't have to wait a few days for that gold-plated shark tank.

Saying women shouldn't have a career is like to saying black people shouldn't have jobs outside of labor and criminal activities. Due to many, many years of being taught a certain way, people have decided that it's genetically set, for a certain type of people to do a certain something, be it stealing, or being a housewife. That's not good at all, in my opinion.

I believe they should, due to the fact that too much money in one place stagnates, and stagnation isn't exactly good for the economy.

Because reproduction is an instinctual action, I won't go into further detail, because I'm sure children are on here, but in short, it's a positive feeling, to do so. Just because you don't want to raise a child doesn't mean you have to do it.

The story is that if it's a late term, and by late, I mean can survive outside of the womb, then you're actually killing a living, breathing thing. And on a less intelligent note, if you've waited that long to decide you don't want the baby, you probably shouldn't be reproducing in the first place.

Early term, I don't have anything against it. A fertilized egg is not a living thing, yet. Later terms... Eh, it's a different story.

"We're sorry that that person who weighs three hundred more pounds than you raped you, but it's your fault for not being stronger than him."

Yup~

Rape, incest, statutory. Plenty of reasons why it's justified.

Exactly. And those make a good story, so why not make good stories, in reality?

Why not? It teaches discipline. Also, some of them are actually useful. Jiu-Jitsu, Muay-thai, the works.

That's why you design it to not know it's not free. Make it so it can't even think about rebellion. You can't modify a slave's mind. You can do so with circuits and wires.

I don't see why they shouldn't. They could always have a failsafe it it decides to go all HAL on everyone, or just limit its freedom at the start.

Great, another generic twenty minutes in the future shooter game.

They should've named it, Generic warefare 3: The war is grey.

I prefer music that tries new things. Progressive rock is my favorite, followed by metal and hard rock.

Danny Carey, in my opinion. Great drummer, quick, rhythmical, and

nearly inhuman with his accuracy and speed.

Maybe I didn't word it correctly. Everyone has a 'spark'. It's like raw material, it's useless without refinement. Unrefined gold is still gold, but it isn't nearly as valuable as it could be.

In my non-important opinion, everyone has a 'spark' of sorts. Some of them are just more apparent than others, and some of them are suppressed.

You can teach an idiot to be smart. You can't keep a born genius smart if they don't learn.

You've unleashed the horde... Game over man, game over! We're done for.

Google is a search engine, and therefore cannot be a friend. Try cleverbot.

People, obviously. Whoever created the religion created their idea of god.

Clothing: Heavy denim jacket, provides protection and isn't too heavy. Jeans, of the looser variety, and running shoes.

Weapons: Hunting knife for emergency combat, and the good ol' Mossberg 500.

Shelter: None, I would roam the country side, and take what I need.

And as a side note, I would have 1-2 companions with me, maximum.

No one can really know for sure, but it's a waste of time arguing about it, or as this lovely picture depicts it, why argue and fight over something we'll never find out?

The bible's full of contradictions and lies, this is just one of the more minor ones. Still though, gave me a chuckle.

I don't see how your lack of humor has to do with anything, but...

Evidences, now? Flight or fight response, inspired by fear withing humans.

Really now, as if this god of yours hasn't wiped out entire cities before. You have a big book of its' deeds, you know. And if god is so loving, why would it make the alternative less desirable?

So, I'm either with it, or against it. Also, for god to be benevolent, it would have to be YOUR idea of god. And that's an extremely slim chance of that being.

I take everything with a dose of salt. And besides, if god was that benevolent, wouldn't it be alright with my stance? I mean, if god's truly nice and kind, than it wouldn't mind a heckler like me, would it?

There's a difference between respect and worship. A man respects his leader, not worship him. If an all knowing being deems worship as 'respect', they have a serious insecurity complex. I like how christians refer to god as 'he', too.

It ALLOWS you to join one of the most violent cults on the planet. Real benevolent guy, eh?

To be honest, they're both extremely awesome. But if I had to choose, I'd go for Skyrim. As much fun as dying over and over and over again is, sometimes I like to dominate every once in a while.

Really now? Fearing god makes people kind? You're hilarious. Fear doesn't inspire lack of action, it causes it.

I tend to not worship things that threaten to send me to a place of eternal suffering if I don't. Just a personal choice.

I like how the only two options are either god doesn't exist, or you belive in IT. I'm not too sure if there is a god, but I know they don't deserve what they get. Anything that has a place where you suffer eternally for not being on their side isn't benevolent.

Another monument to vanity. Great. Now I just need diamond studded toilet paper, and my life will be complete.

You should notice it, yes. But it's personal choice to choose to follow and believe your culture and traditions. I mean, if I was from some gump-bumpkin ridden swamp-hole, I really wouldn't want to be part of their culture, would I? No.

It's pointless to kill him. It'd only be reinforcing the loyalist image. And besides, would you prefer a quick, painless death, or a long, grueling, terrible life in prison? Don't let Moammar take the easy way out, make 'em suffer.

But what happens when a business gets a competitor? They conflict, but a religion is bigger than a business, and people will die.

You see, what will happen is, people will panic, believing the world's going to end, non-religious folk will suddenly turn into zealots, with the panic in the streets, there'll be plenty of looting and rioting, and then when it's over, they'll see nothing happened and go, "Whoops! We really messed up that one thar."

I say let 'em keep it. I mean, they've been sitting around for twenty years, day in and day out, knowing death is slowly approaching, might as well let them have a good eat, first. Still though, there should be a food weight limit or something, three pounds, maybe.

There won't be a World war 3, because by the time everyone wants each other dead, there won't be enough food, oil, and resources to even get over to another country. And besides, Jesus isn't coming back, because he's not the son of god. He was just a nice guy with good ideas, and what he got in return for being nice was a good nailing to a tree.

"I shall bring peace and harmony, right after I send this infidel to hell."

Yup, totally logical, no doubt about it.

That IS funny. That doesn't mean my point doesn't stand, though. I'm not even atheist. We're all apes, just with fancy suits and better clubs.
