When you die fat, balding, and addicted to World of Warcraft, you're not going to care how many atoms there are in an elephant turd, trust me. Science offers nothing of value to humanity beyond making it harder to get laid, something which even even animals and cavemen could do, but the World...

What is your view on the Bible and the various ways that it can be interpreted? We know that the Bible isn't a legalistic set of rules (though some cults may treat it like it is), and isn't actually a book, but a collection of books which contain a wide variety of content.

Most of the violence which occurs in the world is caused by men. Does this mean that women are superior?

The reality is simple. No one has observed a single-celled organism evolving into a human. All that can be empirically observed are small changes occurring over generations within species. Scientists simply observe these small changes, or look at the genetic record, and assume that these...

I did read it. And the article doesn't acknowledge the wide range of social institutions which influence people.

I'm interested in true crime, but there was no crime forum to post it in. Not sure what else to tell you.

So you do believe in Santa Claus? Society influences people by shaping their attitudes, beliefs, behaviors, and thoughts through socialization (learning a culture), social interactions (with family, peers, and colleagues), and social institutions (like religion, government, and media). Key...

I did read the article. Low birthrates don't matter, because an individual like Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg is much more socially influential than the average person us, regardless of how many children he has. People like that can reach and influence billions of people.

While defining "sexism" is somewhat subjective, some hold archaic ideas about men and women which don't view them as individuals of equal rights and potential, and attribute stereotypes to them in regards to what they are believed to be capable of. I accept the idea that there are biological...

Pretty disgusting. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/custody-man-brother-son-las-vegas-b2800963.html Logan Gifford, 26, believes his younger brother, 15, could be his son after claiming his mother Doreene Gifford began sexually assaulting him when he was 10.

This definitely increases the chance that Trump is connected to it.

I'm curious what people's opinions are on flag burning. Is it free speech? I personally tend to think so, though I don't see what someone could hope to accomplish by doing it. https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/25/politics/flag-burning-trump-executive-order-supreme-court-analysis “All over the...
