I agree with that. The death penalty is more terrifying as you knowing you can die at any time, than actually dying.
I don't think he really deserves the death penalty. I mean after all the people he killed & injured, does he really need an easy way out? Besides, life in American prisons is rather mild compared to those in other countries; free food, free clothes, free healthcare... I think he deserves to spend the rest of his life knowing what he did, and being guilty for it. Psychological torture.
I honestly didn't think that he would fit in there for a minute... and if he got stuck, how would he get out?
There is the small fact that Christianity only has one god while Hinduism that potentially hundreds, if not thousands, of gods.
I'm going on the hope that the scientists who are smart enough to create it won't be such idiots that they'd let regular people access to this kind of thing. besides the fact that a thousand inch dick will be bigger than the person having it, there are endless limitations to the power of developmental biology. Eyes as sharp as a hawk, the speed and grace of panthers, skills of Mozart or quintessential Renaissance leaders like Leonardo da Vinci...
Although it's a cute game to start with, it quickly gets boring and the same strategies keep working over and over again. Unlike a human opponent, it lacks spontaneity and can quickly be mastered after a little while.
Although I think that BenWalters has a good point, I was so disappointed by Eragon that I think a major re-haul is in order.
If war was the only solution for taking a decision than we would have died long ago. We created the United Nations, European Union, et cetera precisely so we don't bring out the guns every time we get into a little spat.
There's no way the jinchuriki of the nine-tailed fox could lose to Luffy! He's the fourth Hokage's son, mastered sage mode, and regularly fights people for a living.
If the people are speaking loudly, than it's assumed that their conversation isn't private. And if it is... than, hopefully they'll learn to stop doing so in public.
I think I would follow a utilitarian philosophy here: do whatever benefits most of society at a cost to a few. It's cold, it's heartless, and it's based on math but I'd kill the one billion.
If your gay wife/husband isn't attracted to you than she probably won't be satisfied in bed and may even decide to cheat on you in the future (or vice versa) By allowing them to leave the marriage now, you keep your relationship intact but now platonic, save the kids a bit of suffering, and are free to pursue another person without feeling guilty about it.
If the guy asks you out, than he is essentially the host and therefore must pick up the bill. A female should do the same if she asked him out but assuming that certain things will be given by either party based primarily on gender rather than outside actions, is considered chauvinism.
Schools that force more competition among teachers could have either a wildly good result as teachers get more serious or a terrible one as more experienced teachers refuse to help younger ones (this is already happening so I can't see how it can get much worse)
The main difference we seem to have is whether or not Jesus was the son of God. Christians claim that he is in fact part of the Holy Trinity (as both the Holy Spirit, God and Jesus being the same) Muslims on the other hand, continue to insist that God can't impregnate Mary to give birth to himself and then call himself his Son. Does that make any sense? Course, I am biased. I'm a Muslim but I attended a Catholic school.
Homosexuals can care for a child just as well as any straight couple can and perhaps even more, because their inability to bear children makes them regard it as even more precious. Their family's are usually stable, they can provide for a child, and it's not like a kid needs one adult male and female to survive. If they did, than why do we allow single parent families to exist?
I wouldn't be surprised if the Americans fell for it without protest. At least, the Russians are complaining about their rigged elections.
What's going on with this site? Where are the actual debates?
Who are you people, why don't you know basic grammar or spelling, and why do you act like shrill, preteen girls?
Right, that's why they call it the religion of peace. Fundamentalist Muslims don't speak for the millions of other Muslims in the world and no, not all of them are violent. Besides, didn't an American, Christian pastor burn the Quran? Why isn't anyone raging about that?! >_<
It's the best way to talk things through (although it creeps some people out so I usually write my thoughts down instead)and make decisions. Plus, there's no sweeter sound to most people than the sound of their own voice.
Education is the key to making a living in this global economy. There are ways to learn that are just as good- if not better- than most colleges or universities but for the typical person, an education is vital to success. Some people work and learn better outside of a structured system but most do not; hence, the reason universities can get away with charging us so much to work for a piece of paper.
Does the fact that he's dealing with Putin mean he's secretly working for the Russians? It's sad how many conspiracy theories you can make from the simplest of conversations.
Have you ever considered becoming a politician? no seriously, you could probably fix traffic lines and infrastructure even better than most of the people we have in office today. At the very least, you can't do any worse.
Ideas differ with places. My cousins were from southeast Asia and when they first came to this country, they were amazed to learn that no, people did not actually go around naked like their friends at school told them. It was kinda funny (and sad) actually.
We already ban them in some public spaces but it's not our place to tell a person what they can or cannot do in the privacy of their homes.
Those only work if the girl's not to busy laughing at him and feels enough pity to go out on a date. Come on; you can so think of something way less cheesier than this!
I don't have issues with homosexuals but I think that young people should only be allowed to sleep with an older person if they have: a) fully developed body, b) consent, and c? actually know what they're consenting to.
Teachers aren't just a sounding board for our ideas or an automaton for our thoughts: they help us express creativity and nurture our ideas. I always excel when an enthusiastic teacher warmly teaches the subject. Even if it's hard, I'm more motivated to study and succeed if the teacher is genuinely kind and helpful.
How can you be racist for being attracted to a certain type of person? If you prefer short hair and dark eyes, does that make you racist? Nope, because you can't control who your body prefers.
I always felt that religion was one thing given hundreds of different names by people separated by geography and physical obstacles but not by human thoughts or biological hindrance. We want to believe in something greater than us and so we give it a name. The three major monotheistic religions of the world- Muslims, Christians, and Jews- share many of the same beliefs and even prophets. They're different outlooks into the same basic entity. Even Hinduism, is considered as "giving many faces to one force" making people think that maybe their God(s) just has different forms for one spiritual power.
Public school students are allowed to freely express their ideas and creative instincts unless they purposely cause harm to another student. They probably just don't like pink. :(
Scooby's a legend! I can't keep count of all the movies or shows I saw with him in it. I especially loved the cutesy kid Scooby gang that they made: it was absolutely adorable!
I think it's possible to be both a leader and a follower: you lead your peers and you look up to or are inspired by a mentor. There's nothing wrong with people if they're not a natural leader; some people make great followers. If your're a devil's advocate for a leader, than you help him/her think. If you're a beta, than you make things run smoothly, stand up to lead when you need to, and mainly support the leader. If you're a follower, you get things done. that's just the way the world works.
We have a plush toy for everyone else. And I think it's great that techies are getting the same amount of respect by little kids as Disney former star Hannah Montana.
Besides the fact that there are fundamentalists in every religion, he forgets to address the fact that a) Iran has yet to create a nuclear weapon, b) They have no wish for a war with either Israel or the U.S. as they only want to survival for their country and c) In the case that they do get nuclear weapons, it does not signify that they'll go out in a mass war against other countries. Case in point: Nuclear weapons are more of a deterrent for war than a reason. Pakistan and India have had over 50 years of peace since they both created nuclear weapons. Israel doesn't like Egypt but just because they have nuclear weapons that doesn't mean they'll use it against the Egyptians.
Also, the U.S. are worried about terrorists getting control of nuclear weapons. Why would Iran give up it's new toys (if they ever get them) after sacrificing so much for it? The people would rebel and turn it into another Libya.
I'm pretty sure I'd be the giggly airhead type. I can practically see myself getting more and more silly with every drink I'd take.
What about fat girls? Or people who are overweight but not obese?
1) Does God exist?
2) Who is the superior sex: male or female?
3) Whatever new mineral/weather phenomena/creature haven't discovered yet.
4) How stupid can a person really get?
I find both the drinking and the murder insulting. Just because a person is Irish, it doesn't mean they drink. It's like saying Asians are math geniuses or Muslims are terrorists. If that's true than I'm a mathematical terrorist prodigy.
If I feel particularly politician-like that day, than I'll use it as kindle to roast my marshmallows.
here's the number of my hairdresser; I'm sure you know what to do from there. ^_^
