  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: (if so) Why are athiests more intellegent on average?

    The problem here is that there is no collective of atheists or Christians or Buddhists (or whatever, ad nauseum) to measure by. There are only singular, individual people in singular, ...

  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: Sub-infinities?

    There is a theory of multiple infinities. It is why infinity - infinity does not equal zero, or one, or anything, for that matter. The best work I can be ...

  • Lounge, The Re: LOST: the season finale?

    It still seemed like a sucker-punch. Flash-forward or otherwise, it was an unprecedented jump in narrative structure, which I think is fine generally, but not at the end of a ...

  • Lounge, The Re: LOST: the season finale?

    It was disappointing. Who cares what happens to them on the island now? It's like delivering the punch line before the joke has been fully set-up. Nothing was resolved with ...

  • Lounge, The Re: LOST: the season finale?

    What a cheap-shot of a season finale. The writers seem to have totally "lost" the direction of LOST, or perhaps they're simply cretinous/obstreperous enough to ignore what brings viewers back ...

    I'm not even seperating myself from this. I don't pretend to be better; if people were shot down in Britain at a college I'd pay more attention. Of course. What ...

    Jack-- The fundamental flaw in your comparison lies in equality. The byproducts of war (and yes, civilian casualties are byproducts no matter how you want to slice the cake), of ...

  • Serious Discussion and Debate Re: U.S. Imigration Laws

    I think Lama's characterization of the South as "racist" is particularly unnerving. Actually living in the South (unlike he, a "Yankee"), I've yet to really run across "racists." In fact, ...
