    Anyone willing to help a struggling friend?

    I talk to a guy named Mike who lives in Ohio. He's around 50. After a few conversations, I find out that he lived in a van until someone helped him move into subsidized housing. Now he has a place, but no money for furniture. He's living with serious health problems (back, eyes, anxiety)...

    Pacquiao-Marquez (again) (again) (another time) (fourth and final time)

    :xmas-smiley-010: Mayweather bout will never come, so might as well enjoy this one folks. I mean, enjoy it because there is too much violence in this world and I hope these two will stop the boxing and get back to the non-violence.

    The failure behind the failure

    A lot of us are probably a little bummed about the result. But this reflects poorly on conservatives and people who hold to fiscally conservative positions. How is it that a group with so much economic and political capital cannot transform it into social and cultural capital? Because it's...

    Israel-Iran war: The Date is Set

    So today Netanyahu put his foot down at his UN speech and drew the line. When Iran gets to 90% in their development of nuclear weapons, the rumble starts. I imagine Hezbollah is waiting to double-team from Lebanon the moment the war starts. Probably Hamas too (depending on how much they have...

    Do your beliefs imply the existence of God? (Philosophy)

    Me and Bofu talked about philosophy once a long time ago. The conversation stuck with me. Anyway, this quiz tells you whether your beliefs imply the existence of God. Or, a necessary being, as most God concepts are called in philosophy. I found some questions difficult to answer. So I just...

    Wanna know what you are doing wrong, Libertarians?

    Long Preface: If you want an advantage in furthering your sociopolitical ideology, get academic backing. Almost every ideological position that is gaining acceptance in the US today (very likely the world), has some sort of academic backing in form of ideologically committed scientists and/or...

    Are racists scared?

    I've always wondered if this was the case. I know a lot of racists seem to be reactive and sensitive emotionally. I wouldn't try and psychoanalyze an entire group of people, but when you interact with enough of them, patterns do emerge. I had this confirmed in a weird sort of way when checking...

    Chris Rock 4th of July Tweet Reigniting Another Race War

    It's old news now. But the comments on HuffPo. Damn. A lot of anonymous white people are offended by what Chris Rock said. But I read something else that was interesting: Apparently less than 5% of the black population was imprisoned. I wanted to look this up, and sure enough, out of 38.9...

    The worst personal transformation ever

    I'm doing it. For the past month or so I've been consciously observing my values and making a deliberate effort to follow them. Varying levels of success. Some things were easy. Others were hard. The good thing so far is it's all baby steps. No drastic changes. No murderin, killin...

    Kids vs Adoption

    I'm sure a bunch of y'all have kids. How many have actually considered adoption instead of having kids of their own? I don't have a commitment to having a child of my own, and I feel like if I ever wanted a kid, adoption would be a more ethical choice. A lot of it has to do with my views of...

    Porn kills (the soul)

    So they found the guy killing and dismembering people in Canada. Turns out he was a porn star. They don't tell us what kind of porn this guy was into. The same kind of thing happened a while back with some ninja sword story. Anyone remember that one? But one of the reasons I never enjoyed porn...
