You do realize that the study you point to makes no conclusion about the effects of nuclear reactors on children, right? That they only noticed a correlation? I live near two different nuclear plants. So if anyone has knowledge on the subject, I think I trump you.

The feeder is exactly that: food. If killing it yourself gives it a less painful death then how could it be cruel?

Aside from it being over comercialized, another big reason why atheists celebrate Christmas might be because they grew up with it. Certainly the reason i refer to it as Christmas is because that's what i'm used to and also because people tend to understand faster then if you say "happy winter...

Probably the reason why there's so many red haired/green eyed people in one area is cause we tend to clump. Certainly, I know of two other families than mine with red hair and green eyes. Personally, I've always thought there should be more people with heterochromia iridum (different colored...

Death? Death is fairly easy to cope with. You die. Life on the other hand. That's the one that makes or breaks you. Anyways, I've always found a dose of nihilism to be healthy. Certainly I've become much happier as a result of becoming nihilistic.

Death is a great way to remove performance anxiety. As a result of increasing entropy there are no consequences. I is an oxymoron. (not bad grammar, though that interpretation is correct too.)

My point is that how is someone supposed to learn what a bad decision is if they aren't allowed to make bad decisions. I doubt a single decision could ruin anyone's life so long as their family is there for them. There to put things in perspective, to give a home, food, and acceptance. Besides...

I feel that it's entrapment. I also feel like it's a wasted effort. The fact is online molesters are a minority. The vast majority of molestation occurs by family members or friends of the family (ie. people that the child is told is an authority by their family.) So poking at people online to...

Personally, I would recommend Fate Stay Night. Ghost in the Shell is something of a classic. If you're looking for a series rather than a movie, the GitS: Stand Alone Complex is good. I'm also rather fond of Blue Submarine No. 6. Though I will be the first to tell you that it doesn't...

Perhaps I'm just odd, but my PSP has seen far more use than my DS (or my DS lite.) Honestly, there's been only a handful of non-crap DS games, where my PSP has had upwards of 30 games that I really liked. But if you've waited this long, hold out for the PSP2 and hope that it can emulate the PSP...

My ideal society would be anti-federalist, with city states probably having the most power. However, by default all non-basic laws will start at the community level (ie. maybe a block or two.) If the communities within a city agree on a law, the law is moved to the city's level. A group of...

I go to the University of Minnesota, I'm a computer science/anthropology double major. Though honestly, my school sucks, and if the police department released their reports on paper, I would have paper cut myself to death.

People will become entrepreneurs without nearly the level of incentive currently provided by capitalism, any other system can easily be worked to provide the modest incentives necessary to encourage invention and risk. Capitalism is efficient at creating new products, it is not the most...
