As the title says, I'm looking for a book or any kind of resource about robotics and electronics. The main goal is to gain a rudimentary understanding of electronics, so ultimately I could build a "simple" robot which I could program (I come from a programming background). I've glanced...

Nowhere have I said that I am more important than the people that do their daily job. Neither am I denying that I'm a product of the western society. You seem to be under the impression that I just don't want to do work, and want to live out my life on a cushion. Well, I DO want a job. I DO want...

Thanks for linking the video, it's really eye-opening. The things you've mentioned are all things that have crossed my mind. I do occasionally volunteer in my community, but I am looking for something more long-term. The problem I have is that I am undecided in which direction I want to head...

I gotta hand it to you, you're a great de-motivational speaker, but I fail to see how the first statement's true. Making education more accessible to children in Africa would be far more beneficial than the small fraction of money a person might receive from me buying flowers (not that I'm...

Does an average person work a job because of charity? Does an average person pay taxes because of good will? No of course not. They do so because they must (generally speaking). I am not saying there is anything inherently wrong with that; there isn't. What irks me is that it is so common for us...

I am honestly distraught by the current state of the society. Yea, there's plenty of reasons to be upset about the society, and there are plenty of people already upset for the particular reasons that come to mind when thinking about the current state of affairs; but, I'm gonna make a thread...

I understand what you mean, but I don't have the heart to break up with her, or even put the relationship on hold. I feel that if I do that, I will compromise my chance to fix the situation. Hearing that there's not much I can do is exactly what I've been afraid of. I feel that I am stuck...

I'm in high school and I've been dating this girl (I will refer to her as Angie for the purpose of this thread) for about 4 months now. She was the one that first approached me; it began when she sent me a message on Facebook, and I - out of shyness - rejected her. However, after telling my...

Actually, the term ape encompasses the Hominidae. On my previous post, I wasn't simply being more specific. The term monkey and ape are different. As in, humans are apes, but not monkeys. You have to forgive me, I've a very contentious person ;P

Actually, we're apes ;P No, they're not the same thing.

Does Prometheus count? The C-Section scene was pretty gruesome (I loved it ;P).

I once asked my Christian friend what his position on homosexual marriage was. He quickly replied that he was against any kind of same-gender relationships. When asked why, he simply told me that he thinks it's immoral. Then, after a few seconds, he "corrected" himself and added that women...

I personally believe that marriage is NOT for everyone, and I classify myself as one of those type of people. I think that a lot young adults are subconsciously "pressured" into marriages/relationships by the society's standards and ideals. Few people ever actually consider their choices; most...

Not too long ago, some wife-beater kidnapped his ex-girlfriend's child - a girl of 3 - and through her over a rail of a nearby bridge. The girl fell into the river, and her corpse was later found by the police after several days. Supposedly, the guy got away with it, as the court decided there...

I personally believe Fallout 3 is the better game, overall. Yeah sure, New Vegas was an upgrade in terms of mechanics. But I feel like the atmosphere, and the storyline, and overall immersion of F3 outweighs most of what NV has to offer. Also, I prefer the "green theme" over the orange. It's...
