    Are anti-smoking campaigns worth the cost?

    To be fair, I was the one who picked a pair of the more graphic pictures I could find (quickly). No doubt many of the images are chosen for the shock value. I don't see them as extreme cases though. I believe the cost of these warnings is on companies selling tobacco in Canada. So smokers...

    Are anti-smoking campaigns worth the cost?

    Last year the government of Canada passed law that 75% of cigarette packaging would be used for health warnings. I felt the reason for this was to take away from tobacco companies brand recognition. Here is some examples of the packaging size and newer "warnings".

Many sites have taken advantage of this to maintain their "video sections". I have seen a few that are more of a...

    New YouTube?

    Creating a "new YouTube" is not the problem as Prolescum said. I don't agree the major problem would be cost, as you would need a pretty big following before the cost would get out of hand. Finding advertising and investors would not be a problem by then. I believe the issue with trying to...

    Blatant racism among readers of The Hunger Games...

    Rue is characterized as having "Dark brown skin and eyes". That is some pretty terrible reading comprehension. All of those comment are blatantly racist. No one is just in shock of a character's race. They are showing disapproval.

    Computer Hacking question

    Lulzsec was not hacking a bunch of phpbb. There is no "zero day" exploit. The hackers could not just goto packetstorm and download a exploit and get to work. They could not just write one exploit and run it against all those sites. They had to take the time and audit most of these sites one by...

    I have been fooled. :facepalm: At least I was skeptical about the 80 million, not sure what that is saying about Camping. I did not question that it was possible he would the excuse "the Rapture definitely took place".

    Seriously 80 million !? I have not been paying attention to any of this. Did he really have this kind of support ? I just figured it was some old fuck with his family & friends.

    AtheismTV...

    Pretty sure he is using a affiliate link of some sort. AtheismTV's link leads to the same item (matching ID#) that Aron links in his "Clarifying the various Human Species" video description. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzuKlZf1qXU

    Aren't the 10 Commandments in the Old Testament

    Has anyone heard a actual argument for Jesus changing the laws of the OT ? I get stonewalled when I ask where this belief comes from. We are all aware of times in the Bible where Jesus is pro-Torah law, Yet I am having a hard time remembering even one situation where is against any of the laws...
