You're deliberately misrepresenting what SutterCane said. He didn't say that this hypothetical child shouldn't feel bad. It is a terrible thing, and the kid has every right in the world to feel terrible. What is egotistical would be to say, "my suffering is worse than the suffering of the...

These opinions are unpopular specifically in the escapist community, not society at large, but here goes: I think Call of Duty (any one) is a great game. Along with Super Smash Bros, it is one of my favorite games to play with friends, and is also an easy way to blow off steam. More oddly...

My mom told me not to push the call flight attendant button above the seat on an airplane. So I naturally assumed that if I pushed it the flight attendant would come with a glass of poison and make me drink it. As a result, whenever I turned the light on or off or adjusted with the fan, I was...

I am pretty certain that you should take this down right now. This may very well constitute a form of cheating, which to begin with, is morally wrong when you're applying for a scholarship. Also, it could ruin your chances of getting a scholarship, because if they (the institution you're...

They can't throw him out of the league because he wasn't proven guilty. He is innocent until proven guilty, so at least in the eyes of the law he is still innocent and the NBA would has no right to stop him from playing. It doesn't really matter whether people think he still did it, without a...

You should probably realize that you are using wiktionary for your definition before you go any further. Regardless, this definition specifically includes that a cult exists on the margins of society, which in no way describes Christianity.

You could describe the history of the world as just "war after war" if you're looking at it the way you do. I don't remember what the number is, but there has been a ridiculously low number of years of total world peace. The thing is, there is other stuff to learn about, beyond the wars. In...

Oh... that is most unfortunate. My sincere condolences.

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT... In Sweden people can walk into your garden and take your mushrooms? Or am I just interpreting this wrong? Because that's just messed up. Especially if they're mushrooms. I would ban ridiculously large cans of Arizona Iced Tea. I don't know why, but the foot high...

I don't think that they are willfully saying the wrong word. When we read, we read the word as a whole, not letter by letter, so when someone comes across insulate when they are reading, and hasn't seen it enough to recognize it automatically, their brain reads insure, a word they know and...

There is no paradox. The fallacy here is that being in the minority of thinking something doesn't make you smarter. Neo Nazis are a minority, but that doesn't make them smarter. You could just be dumb and self aware.

Why shouldn't they bang on about how great freedom and liberty are. Because, you know, they're great. Also, something I rage about is people assuming the US is the same as texas, alabama, etc. Beyond fox news, the media doesn't really get all into how great christianity is (Even fox news is...
