    Idea of Liberalism or Conservatism??

    Both are so similar it wouldn't even matter, but that's sort of a subjective question. It really depends on what you consider ethical and what major opinions you have. To me, liberalism in the US would serve better than conservatism. Simply because of a welfare system that actually does...

    Causality

    Causality denotes a necessary relationship between one event (called cause) and another event (called effect) which is the direct consequence of the first.

    I heard he was a roman catholic priest, and he supposedly was the first one to suggest the big bang theory. Is this true?

    Marijuana and every other drug.

    I actually see a marijiuana based economy as a great idea. It could replace the tobacco industry.

    Revolution in Iceland, UK, and the downfall of capitalism

    From a historical standpoint, riots and civil unrest usually means the downfall of the current system. USUALLY, the system is replaced with the upper middle class in control and the lower class remaining the same. But anarchic revolutions are different, just look at the spanish civil war, if it...

    The Politics Quiz

    My results were economic liberal and social liberal, and overall a socialist. I'm actually an anarchist communist and an ecoshaman. But I still thought that quiz was less bias then most I've seen. It's would be great for people who know nothing about politics yet.

    Transitionary Fossils

    No I meant any two species. Most creationists I have met tell me they have never found any such fossils proving a transition from one to the other. I understood what he said about the tree of life as an example. But there can be no tree with leafs without the branches, and if we haven't found...

    Communism

    No, not at all. In fact the basis of a capitalist system is ran on wage slavery. The free-market permits the extent of forced labor we saw in the 1800's, capitalism as an economic system in the US did develop from the free-market.

    Revolution in Iceland, UK, and the downfall of capitalism

    Anarchism means the rejection of all authority. A religious doctrine constitues supreme authority. There are certain circumstances such as parental authority when keeping the child out of danger, but for the most part anarchism means rejection of all authority be that state or government and...

    Qigong, the energy of chi, and the Chinese philosophy

    Yeah it is pseudo and yes it most likely is phsychological when it comes to students. But I think one day there will be some advancements in our understanding of qigong and perhaps the discovery the chi is real.

    Zero evidence? If you can count history as evidence there is much of it.

    Qigong, the energy of chi, and the Chinese philosophy

    There are probably a lot of people who claim to be able to do so. But I disregard them. I believe if this does exist, only someone beyond the title of a Master of a martial art could accomplish this.

    Qigong, the energy of chi, and the Chinese philosophy

    They're blackbelts in their fields. Invincible, maybe not, but in traditional martial arts and in tournaments. Probably so. That would be an intersting demonstration.

    Transitionary Fossils

    I have a question. Transitionary fossils as in transitionary traits from one species to another. Why is it that we never find fossils from transitions between species?

    Communism

    No, all I meant was death has much to do with life. But actually, the tobacco industry first appeared during the European settlement of the Americas and the genocide and mass slavery of the natives. All together about 100 Million people were killed as the worst genocide in all of history. They...

    Are we free?

    There is never a last apple on the tree. It is characteristic of every hierarchical society to limit the produce available to the point it causes starvation or shortage. For instance, 6 vegetarians can live off the land of 1 meat eater. It takes 6 times the amount of land just to feed an average...
