    Can't ask to convert?

    For some reason in my current game, I've been asked to convert several times (not unusual). However, I finally decided to ask someone to convert. Unfortunately, I cannot ask any Civ to convert to Taoism, even Greece who has 7 Taoist cities and 1 Christian (not Holy City of Christianity, either)...

    Would you save your fellow man?

    You are standing in a hospital. Before you lay three men, each afflicted with the most painful disease ever known. The disease is not contagious, only these three men have it, and you have enough antidote to save them all. Finally, one is your best friend, one is a total stranger, and the last...

    Be a God!

    Picture it: Zeus is stepping down as the king of the gods. You and six other gods are in the running to replace him. Zeus allows you all create armies of souls. Zeus is allowing each of you to select two emotions, and to gain souls a person must die with their overall lifetime emotion being one...

    Sensationalism and the American Media

    As a citizen of Baton Rouge, Louisiana I would like to take a moment to curse the bastards at ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox, NBC, etc. They have made things worse here and in New Orleans. They hide behind this banner of getting out the truth while they make **** up. My favorite example: RIOTS IN DOWNTOWN...

    Rabid Dogs (The Death Penalty)

    I was introduced to a new argument for the death penalty today. The argument likened murders to rabid dogs. They are afflicted with a disease that we cannot cure, and thus for the good of society we put them down. The argument that we cannot cure is supplimented with the fact that most convicted...

    The Loudest Stadium in America

    I'm interested to see what people think is the loudest stadium in the USA. I, of course, believe it to be Death Valley (AKA Tiger Stadium) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Tiger fans caused an earthquake. ;)

    Your Favorite Lyric (Music)

    So what's your favorite quote from a song? Feel free to eloborate with a reason why. For instance: I really love "You should never let the sun set on tomorrow before the sun rises today" from "If I Am" by 9Days. It is just...true? I'll drop so more in a bit.

    Do You Believe in One Truth?

    A simple enough question. Do you believe there is only one truth out there? (i.e. Plato's philosophy?) I don't particularly care what truth you do or do not believe in, but I was wondering how many people believe in a single, indelible truth.

    Bismarck the Wise

    I find Otto von Bismarck to have been a rather intelligent chap and never less than humorous. So, I thought I'd share some quotes of his. Feel free to add, or comment, etc... "A government must not waiver once it has chosen it's course. It must not look to the left or right but go forward."...

    Working through School.

    Do (did) you work to afford College (University)? If so, how much did you work, and where? I work three jobs: I'm a maintainance specialist (janitor), bartender, and a computer advisor, which entails plugging them in and turning them on. I probably work about 20 hours a week.

    What if God was one of us?

    My girlfriend was listening to this song called "What if God was one of us?" The song asks two questions that I think are interesting. I just wondered what everyone thinks. Please explain your answer. 1) What would you ask (God) if you had just one question? 2) If God had a face...would...
