    Should "real" history be taught to younger students?

    I feel the need to point out that children can seek out this information at anytime on their own. Such an action would mean that they're ready for what they may find. I remember when I was younger I would read about history in my free time. Thus making all of my American history classes one...

    What is the worst way to die??

    so elaborate, I'd have to go with the whole death from exposure in the desert thing. Out in the wilderness thirsty and alone, the madness rolls in and you start to hallucinate. Or that exact same way but out at sea treading water.

    Poll: prison, or execution

    I'm on the fence on this one, if I can choose the manner of my execution (fully televised with me vs the top 16 hardest murderers all of us armed with nerf bats until one side is exhausted to collapse then a bullet in the back of the brain case) otherwise if I'm put in prison I'll only continue...

    Is marriage worth it?

    I would simply like to state that marriage to me seems more like a corporate merger than a relationship. My logic behind this reasoning stems from the joining of bank accounts and acquiring of large assets and liabilities as a single entity while filing taxes together. Marriages fail these...

    Our children will n'er know the beginning, will not remember first and second generation videogames.

    This is all part of growing old though, as generations are created and replaced their perception of the world is shaped by those who came before. However, they don't have the joys of witnessing those events for themselves. Does anyone here remember a life before the automobile, the airplane...

    What happens after death?

    oh, there's a [tunnel, ladder, rope bridge, chasm] immediately after death that you [ascend, travel, cross] where all your [chosen deity, family members you never met, hellish demons and screams from the damned] greet you. You then spend all eternity [basking in the love of, cowering in fear...

    Holy crap...artificial sperm?

    Food supply is not an issue to be honest, most of the time we (the west) throw food away or let it rot on the vine. http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Supply-Chain/Half-of-US-food-goes-to-waste Plus with the inevitable coming of corporate super farms we can theoretically finish our...

    The Sims

    I remember spending months building one shopping mall on the biggest piece of land available at a friends house. it had 5 restaurants plus a food court, a "movie theater", a gym, a half dozen clothing stores and a few clubs as well as an indoor swimming pool fountain thing. building is the...

    When Numbers Changed The Words

    Every time I mention what my age really is everyone is shocked so I've stopped freely offering the information. The part I find most amusing about ageism is that everyone's guilty of it. Although I do think highly of myself and my skills currently I know that I always have and most likely...

    Do you like to share your bed?

    I used to have a Giant Schnauzer that loved sleeping on my feet... and when he wanted breakfast in the morning or to go out he'd jump on my chest, you can imagine how lovely that was when he reached full size. The last time I slept with a person though I was up at the cabin and woke up...

    Food you love but is a pain in the arse to eat

    Venison, have to wait half a year to get it legally. Then you sit in the woods for a few days sometimes, after which you have to gut skin and wrap it and then you're still in the woods so take that all home for processing :'( but it's SOOOOOOO good

    Is it possible to ?

    The real question we need to ask ourselves isn't if it's possible but if it's cost effective.

    People we see as "evil", are we being ignorant of their brilliance?

    Hitler was a man once, but society has omitted the average and mundane of his life and replaced him as a new Satan. If he wasn't 100% evil before he certainly is now and that popular opinion will mean that he's acquired a sense of immortality, a dark figurehead for the down trodden who turn to...
