Re: (americans) would you like a pol party founded on sci/re
I'm not surprised that this conversation very quickly became about the near impossibility of third party candidates getting elected. Anyone holding office right now who is a member of a third party is very much the exception to the...
I would really like to find some people who think the reason this country is great is because it was founded by men of science. Then form a pac or a party around those kind of ideals. I would like to see a counterweight to the anti intellectualism that is prevelent in much of american politics...
I think you're a fucking racist. These problems the aborigines have are the cause of racist white people. There's no excuse for rape, but it sounds like a population of destitute people with not much to live for. I wonder how that happened.
I've been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. I had bad manic episode a few years ago that descended into full psychosis. I spent a few days in a hospital. They put me on anti psychotics for a few weeks then downgraded me to antidepressants. I had a hard time with side effects from the medications...

Here is his sermon on "Why I hate Barak Obama." If you want to skip the preamble just skip to 12:50.
This is some absolutely disgusting hate speech. This man has some serious influence over his parishioners and a lot of viewers...
If it makes anyone feel better It's an issue I will be discussing with at least one doctor if not several. As far as people who said I was rushing to circumcise my future child without learning about it. Well since my girlfriend isn't pregnant I have more than 9 months to learn more. Seriously...
I didn't really expect that this issue would be so devisive. You guys are getting really heated about this. I still don't have my mind made up, but my girlfriend seems to. She said that she wants any boys we have to be circumcised. She said if we didn't that I would be in charge of pulling the...
Ya I fucked up on that. Wasn't trying to confuse anyone, but if it's any consolation I think most people here are smart enough to work out the problem before answering. sorry all.
So far I'm strongly leaning towards breaking my families tradition of circumcision.
I don't care what our current understanding of the universe is. The history of progress makes me believe that every hurdle we face as a species will be overcome if science is given enough time to work. We may currently have no idea how to travel to other solar systems, but I "believe" that given...
I cant find a list on these forums of books specifically related to free thinking, empiricism and skepticism. We could do a poll after we have a lot of entries and rank the books. I wouldn't expect much fiction here, but I could understand if the novel had a lot of influence in this subject such...
I've always planned that when and if I have a son he will be circumcised. Not for any religious reason. Just because I am circumcised and that is what I am used to seeing when I look at a penis. The uncircumcised penis frankly looks strange to me. Now that I have read "God is Not Great" by...
Why do they need subluminal communication to transmit information using entanglement? I've read plenty of articles on the potential of entanglement for secure communication, but I've never heard them say that it must be used in conjunction with traditional forms of communication.
With a stream of quantum entangled particles flowing in opposite directions you can actually transmit information instantly over any distance. By that I mean faster than the speed of light. This is proven. With two entangled particles separated by any distance you can act on one and effect the...
