I understand why ecologists want to preserve species that serve a vital part in the ecosystem. Of course, if a vital predator is gone there's no population control, and if a primary food source is gone, then a predator dies out. But why would people want to save animals on the verge of...

I am currently majoring in Elementary Education, finishing up my bachelor's degree. My student teaching is next semester, and meanwhile I've been researching education policy and its future so I know what to expect when I graduate. Now as an American, a lot of my local information centers...

Well, it finally happened! The zombies are running amok in your home country, biting and infecting people, and it's up to YOU to stop them. You get the job of assembling a "dream team" of 5 elites to save the world from the zombie apocalypse. Who do you choose? (My picks) Clint Eastwood...

OK, I'll be in need of some new reading material to feed my addiction soon. I figure a few of you literary types can be of assistance. :) So, here's something I'm looking for: I want a fantasy novel, but not one full of your average ho-hum elves, dwarfs, "insert-fantasy-race-here"s. The...

I stumbled upon this cartoon, and was stunned by how bigoted it seemed. Is stereotyping a region more righteous than stereotyping a race?

So who's the best? I personally enjoy Michael Palin's performances best. Lead Inquisitor in "The Spanish Inquistion" sketches Himmler in "Mr. Hilter"

It's way funnier now! :lol: From the website: http://garfieldminusgarfield.tumblr.com/

Misanthropy or Idealism? How do you view other people in general? Do they usually do good for the world? Do they usually do good for you? Do you trust them?

Don't know if this has been done before. Let's give it a shot. :) Tribute to British Paratroopers, past and present. Has a special significance to me since my dad served with them in his youth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMpuasQvBYg

Weird Al, in case you live in a hole in the ground, is THE master of parody music and making fun of popular culture. Sometimes, however, especially considering the quality of a lot of songs, Weird Al's parodies turn out more bearable than the actual song. He's that good at parody. So vote...

Pick your favorite. Personally, I'm partial to the rock flavor of the '70s. After all, these were the years that gave us: - Kansas - Survivor - Chicago - Led Zeppelin - Deep Purple - Lynyrd Skynrd - Eagles - Fleetwood Mac to name a few. What's your personal favorite decade for music?

I moved recently and a new friend of mine plays Neverwinter Nights. He says it has good multiplayer with combat similiar to KOTOR. Would any of you recommend it? Is it worth me buying?

I just bought Civ2 again and have been playing it a lot, just finishing the old WW2 scenario. :) However, I've run into a few odd problems. About half the time I start up the game, I can't open up the city screens by clicking on the cities, and thus I can't select any of the units in that...

Hey My brother wants a game console and he can't decide which one to get. Since I'll just play computer, I don't care either way. Maybe this forum of gamers can give him a hand. (and if this needs to be in All-Other-Games that's fine too) :) He likes Arcade games (Sonic-ish)...

I remember the new Creation Museum being a very hot topic of discussion a while back. Curious, my family decided to take a detour on our vacation to Chicago to pay Ken Ham's museum a visit in Hebron, Kentucky. I'm glad I did. The Museum wasn't what I expected at all. I'm not as much into the...

Honestly, if you could go back in time and change history to avoid the evils of the past, would you do it? If you wouldn't, what would be your motive? What about the moral responsibilities of time travel? Naming what you'd change is optional. I would be tempted, but in the end I think the...

It's probably too early to tell, but we've still got our first glimpses at the candidates and seen the reactions in mainstream America. What do you believe America's political climate looks like today? Does it lean to the Republicans, or the Democrats?

I saw a video recently which applied Pascal's Wager to the global warming debate. For those unfamiliar with the argument, it made the case that the consequences of staying inactive about global warming and being wrong are far more dangerous than taking action and nothing happening. Do you...

Jesse Jackson and Pat Robertson have both run for president and lost. Do you think that a Christian minister/priest's background would be a pro, con, or irrelevant to most voters? Or would political views be a more important concern? Most importantly, do you think that a Christian minister could...

Some swear by the methods of the free online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Others believe it is a tool of Satan for the very same reasons. What do you think of the open-source system for encyclopedias?
