    The point of Avatar, why empathy is important and why humans are like cancer

    To say that all humans cut down forests to live lives of luxury is simply not true. A small segment of the human population hires a desperate part of the population to cut down trees so that small segment can live like kings.

    Poll: Can someone tell me how this is unanswerable??

    i'm not arguing for either side but the concept might be easier to imagine if you think about it this way: Does math exist without humans to think it? I'm not talking about the base ten system we use but the very idea of math as a concept. If there is no creature with sufficient intelligence...

    Poll: What's wrong with America?

    I see the current era in US history as approaching a point right before the storm where we will be overtaken in a role as a world leader. The US, like all other empires, has been pulled into its position, and without a revitalization of the way things are done we are headed for a crisis fast.

    Confused Briton seeks clarification from right -wing Americans

    If you get sick and an insurance company drops you it's almost impossible to get insurance again due to your newly acquired pre-existing condition. So if you're saying that insurance companies will do a terrible job because they're motivated by profit to stop covering people, and the...
