    Are you dependent on pot?

    Could take it or leave it. I find that cannabis has an amazingly wholesome effect on my life, and as long as it remains a means to an end, and not an end unto itself, I will continue to partake. But I know from previous experiences of abstaining from it, that I can live without it and will if...

    How Can You Have Fun When There Is So Much Wrong Going on?

    The fact is: You are just one man (or woman). And while you are capable of changing the world, you must recognize your own limitations and not beat yourself up for things you cannot change. The best you can do is live your life the best you know how and inspire change in others. And sometimes...

    What Is Anything?

    Uhhh.... no. Language is a COMPROMISE between speakers. We're trained to associate the meanings of these words to objects and ideas already set down by those who teach us. Look at the color of this text: BLUE The color of the text does not match the color the text names. You and I can look at...

    What Is Anything?

    I indeed must accept that it is incontrovertible, as like God, it cannot be disproven. But, again like God, it cannot be proven either. It leaves us no better off than we were before. Let's say that yours' is the mind thats running this whole show. Even if you could know objective truth, you...

    What Is Anything?

    I find it baffling that you would attempt to communicate with anyone if you truly believed this. As said by Bertrand Russell: "As against solipsism it is to be said, in the first place, that it is psychologically impossible to believe, and is rejected in fact even by those who mean to accept...

    What Is Anything?

    Or MAYBE not... See what I did there. Saying that there is no objective truth is a paradox -- A statement that contradicts itself. The belief of, or the actual existence of (depending on your views) objective truth is quit useful. It's what allows us to make decisions and affect the world...

    Just what is the nature of Capitalism

    I've rewritten this below to reflect reality. ;-) Financial capital comes from old established money sources, parents, mentors, Banks, etc. To extract financial capital from any of these sources requires one to either be related, have a wealthy friend, or be able to convince a bank (Without...

    Half of US pays no Fed tax.

    Perhaps adults with families shouldn't be working $10/hr jobs. If you're 30 years old with a wife and kid, but still flipping burgers at Burger King, do think you deserve a $20/hr wage? Wages are based off of the job done, not the person who did it. Should a man with a family complain of low...

    Pick Rollitup's New Logo

    Crap. I chose #2 because I like it the best as far as logo design goes, but didn't think about the connotations that come from a rasta-man logo. So on further thought (as I should have done from the beginning) I would choose #1. So (if you care to) subtract one from #2 and put it under #1.

    Woman Thanks Tax Payers for Health Care.

    You are right that reform is a necessary action we need in America, but I disagree with the way in which it is being done. There are ways we can make our problems worse, and this to me is one of them. And indeed I am paying for the uninsured through higher health costs. I'm also paying higher...

    Thank you, Captain Obvious. It's the height of irrationality to expect someone else to pay for your own problems.

    Woman Thanks Tax Payers for Health Care.

    I think we should first work on minimizing the suffering that WE create before moving on to the suffering we don't. Ergo, don't make me pay your medical bills.

    How very selective of you to read only wealth from his words. I've reposted part of Man o' the green's post on the off chance you just missed the other two things he said. You should note that I've colored them red to ensure you can see them. Happy reading!

    Does God Have a Future?

    I watched all these the other night. It was a fantastic use my evening. Deepak clearly doesn't give a fuck about YOUR point of view, as he's all about HIS. And it amuses me how these new-age spiritualist types were brought in to discuss the future of God. Because their views about "God" are...

    its called a CON-stitution for a reason!

    Constitution comes from the word Constitute. No matter how you are using Con, you are wrong. Have a nice day. :)

    Atheism

    I am an atheist, yes. But that's not the issue. You're singling out atheists for something that can (and often does) apply to everyone. Unless you're saying that there exists some branch of Humanity, or even Life itself that is impervious to selfishness?
