			<description>So, I'm taking this Women's Health class at school. Thankfully it's online, so I can yell at people via keyboard. But honestly, some of the things these girl's say make me crazy. I'm not some bra burner or anything, but come on. 



Quote:I feel that there is inequality among men and women today and to be honest, I am okay with it. Men and woman are not equal, which makes it very hard to treat them so. 



That was the beginning of this girl's response to the question. Sure, men and women  ...</description>

I just think she's a total troll who shouldn't be out in public.





so now that I vented about her, why don't you vent about evil people? </description>

			<description>Well i was pondering on the different forms of government the other day and wondering why none of them truly work 100%. I always came back to one conclusion, systems for governing are based on the sole idea that the people who are at the head of that government and the people they govern are all good people. Now we all know that the idea that everyone in a society can be good just isn't true, greed, hatred, racism, fear all develop and destroy these governments.

supposedly 25% of people who answer yes to the first question, answer no the the second.  What I can't understand is why people would answer yes to the first question if they wouldn't be willing  to do the second question.

Do we just wag our finger at them and go &quot;nice try?&quot; or are we going to war with them. Seems like a big deal. I remember a year ago there was a Chinese spy that was caught and nothing really came of it. Maybe that's just how the game is played and we all just move on. </description>

The most fundamental question in political philosophy is the one above; do we have a moral obligation to obey the state and its laws.

I'm just curious as to what you all think about this.

Google's had a lot of issues with violating peoples' privacy (in the worst ways possible, too), but at the same time they're one of the few factions out there who actually fund scientific research solely for that purpose (I mean, aside from raising their reputation).

Rape and Incest are included in this law. There are no exceptions.

			<description>I've always wondered this, I find some people &quot;believe&quot; things only because they need to believe something where as others really believe in it.  For example, I am generally against  certain companies, but I'll be the first to admit that for convenience's sake I consume their goods.  For example if I'm with people eating at say Subway then I'll just eat there and I defo shop at Tesco/ASDA etc because frankly, their milk/bread is always fresher compared to corner shops.

By Daniel Tencer

Friday, February 5th, 2010 -- 4:13 pm



 

The Pentagon's advanced research division has set aside $6 million from its next budget for research on the creation of &quot;synthetic organisms&quot; whose DNA can be altered to make them live forever, or die on command, and even keep a genetic record of what they have been doing.



In its 2011 budget (PDF, 522 pages), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency lays out  ...</description>
