    No 'Him' or 'Her' in Preschool. Wait, what?

    We're all different. There are gender differences, though they don't always apply to EVERY SINGLE PERSON out there. As such that should be explained. If this is equality...Eeeh. I mean I'm all for equal rights and such, but this is taking it a tad too far. As to the fairy tales thing...Have...

    Where do you think WW3 will start?

    Think people are underestimating humanity's love of war here. Nukes wouldn't even need be involved, even if a war should start no one's stupid enough to cause the eventual end of the world. Conventional war, if you ask me, is still very much possible, but then I don't think it could happen any...

    What do you think is the greatest epic fail for humanity?

    Na I'm with you here. The Crusades were largely political in the intent of its 'major players' simply because Jerusalem was a pretty important trade point, and the papacy greatly desired to extend its reach further east. Al Qaeda and other terrorists? I actually live here in the Middle East...

    What's your controversial opinion?

    Right uh, well, I believe in God, so on this site that can count as a controversial opinion. I also think atheists can tend to be just as loud and irritating as religious zealots. I think that revolution is actually warranted sometimes, even if it is violent. And I believe that the biggest...

    Large Hadron Collider Creates Incredibly Dense Primordial Matter

    I like how this thread almost turned into another argument about deities. I fail to see how this has anything to do with that really, considering we aren't even sure as to what the repercussions of this discovery actually are, or what the scientists will learn from it. This is all very...

    Trailers: Warhammer 40k: Space Marine: Combat System

    I'm willing to bet that the player here waded through tons of orks simply for the purpose of making this trailer look nice :) It's been done before. The game will more than likely be more difficult when you're actually PLAYING it.

    Poll: Prostitution should it be legal?

    In an ideal world I'd say get rid of the business altogether; well, this isn't an ideal world. If anything, legalization would most certainly help stem the flow of STDs, and if the brothels have PROPER regulations, and the girls weren't being mistreated, then hey it beats the whole street walker...

    Opinions you have that most people don't agree with.

    While I respect your opinion, I personally believe that it was the Soviet invasion of Manchuria that really led to the Japanese surrendering. The U.S was ready to nuke even more cities, simply because Hirohito had adamantly said that the Japanese would NOT surrender, even under threat of more of...

    Opinions you have that most people don't agree with.

    Family Guy is horribly written, and is generally not very funny.

    What was the last great book/novel you read.

    Reread 1984 a while back...Definitely one of my favorites. And the parallels to the world we live in now are just scary.

    Sexuality, mice and medication What if medication can control sexuality?

    Playing God=/=regular scientific progress. And it 'is' just a phrase, not an advocation for God one way or another, so there is really no need to take a jab at theists either. That's probably one thing that irritates me about fellow Escapists; they always find a need to bring their religion, or...

    Sexuality, mice and medication What if medication can control sexuality?

    ...Meh. I have a problem with this, simply because there is nothing wrong with sexual orientations to begin with. Yeah sure you'd get a choice and all that, but, well...'Meh'. It could be abused, and pretty badly at that...Choice isn't always a good thing, in my honest opinion.

    This is Why the World Hates Us

    People tend to hate the more powerful countries, simply because those countries do tend to have monopolies on certain things or exhibit imperialism of sorts. You can sure as hell bet, for example, that India (and a great portion of the world, for that matter) hated the British Empire for a time...

    If you could change one event in history, just to see what happens

    That's true granted, I know they weren't the first to know it anyway, but then I still feel it is pretty impressive as the Arabs for centuries before had done very little, scientifically, (and indeed had done very little as a people really, before the rise of Islam and such) and thus had no...

    If you could change one event in history, just to see what happens

    Hm. Stopping the Mongols from destroying Baghdad. Considering that the city of Baghdad was a pretty enlightened place at the time, with science actually being DRIVEN by religion (in that the scholars at the time felt that Islam was incredibly supportive of trying to discover all the answers, so...
