Why the hell would we want to go to Mars? It is also a barren planet. It would be a waste of money. We won't be going there for a while. You don't really seem to understand this. There is no point in spending billions of dollars to go to nearby planets. They are not "stepping stones" to...
Going to the moon is very costly. If we send more people there, there isn't really much for them to do. It's just a barren planet. We don't send people into space so they can sit around and jerk off, they need shit to do. Astronauts in space stations have a busy schedule of doing experiments and...
When they were on the moon, people NOT associated with the government were tuning into their radio communications. You couldn't do that if they weren't actually on the moon. The thing about me saying this is that the conspiracy theorists will respond "It's the government you lemming, those...
Bush is a dick, but I don't think anything will come of this. If lefty protesters started being rounded up, Bunochet would get a bullet in the head. Or Pelosi would suicide bomb the White House. Shit, maybe ole Byrd would lynch him.
Polygamy is illegal because the government says it is. The government should have no say in whether or not people can get married. As long as there is consent (which is why you shouldn't be able to marry a goat), there should be no problem.
Franklin was not an atheist, he was a deist much like Jefferson. Their views were common among Enlightenment intellectuals of the time, they were opposed to religious dogma but were nevertheless faithful.
RICH? FANCY HEALTHCARE? I'm actually not even insured at the moment. I'm in school and what money I make comes from working the poker tables in Biloxi.
I don't believe in things simply because they may be to my benefit. Individual freedom, minimal government, and personal responsibility are...
So far 3 people have blamed the criminalization of marijuana on white people being racist. The reason they would use blacks or Mexicans as scapegoats is because everyone was racist back then, so scaring people into thinking it drives minorities crazy is a good propaganda tool. But they weren't...
That is the best argument against the existence of a higher power, atleast one that has supposedly given his/her/their word to people on Earth.
People needed to explain the world around them, so every people on Earth has some sort of higher power. A better working theory is that there was a big...
The old and poor can have access to healthcare, which the governments help to pay for. If you have "universal healthcare", that just means you get "free" healthcare by having your taxes raised. You end up paying for it either way. It isn't free.
How does it make me ignorant? I'm pointing out that the people who are definitely not ignorant generally don't believe in a higher power. We are all technically ignorant as to whether there is a creator. That doesn't mean we can't have opinions. You say you believe even though you have no proof...
I believe free healthcare should only be for those under 18 (if they aren't insured by their parents), since a child can't be responsible for being insured.
I guess the problem with that would be parents could just not include their kids on their insurance and just get it for free if needed...
The people who would know the most about the universe generally don't believe in a creator. I don't think they are ignorant. There is no evidence to suggest that there is a creator.
God of the gaps argument.
