Okay, so the answer to my question is "yes." Here's a revelation: Regardless of what society says, young girls DON'T WANT TO DATE YOU. Even if everyone on this message board--and society in general--suddenly changed their minds and decided that it's O.K. for older men to date young girls, young gir...

It's wondrous experiences like this eclipse that make me sad I'm eventually going to die.

I feel this way about potentially missing a 49er Super Bowl Championship, should one happen after I'm gone.

I find myself amused that such a completely insubstantial event should be so striking and memorable. It was after all a passing shadow. Heh. I've never really thought about an eclipse creating a huge shadow across the face of the earth (as opposed to one object blocking the light of another), but o...

It never ceases to amaze me how much Trumplicans actually hate free market capitalism, and the fruits it bears. It just took a Democrat being President for them to realize it... although, they naturally just blame the Democrat for the entire system. Because, that makes sense. Negative emotion imped...

Or society should simply stay out of our dating lives. Hold the phone. . . you think SOCIETY is what's keeping young girls from wanting to date you?? Well, it is a cultural thing to avoid dating creepy predators... isn't it? I mean, movies, television, novels... they're all painting a picture of ba...

It might be easier to illustrate my point with simple numbers. Lets say there are 1000 men in the world. 70% (or 700 men) are 25 or older, and 30% (300 men) are younger. Let's next say that from these 1000 men, 100 assaults were committed, 46% under 25, the rest are over. That means that 300 men com...

If 46% of sexual assault perpetrators are under 25, then that also means 54% of sexual assault perpetrators are 25 or OLDER. So by your very own reasoning, women are safer around men under age 25. Touché No, that's not how the numbers work, unless you could also say the 46% of men are under 25. If ...

One person says there is a God, another says there is no God. One or the other is wrong. One person says there is a God, another says she disagrees. I haven't heard that many people declare there is no god, likely because that's just as baseless as saying there is one. There's a huge difference bet...

You should stick with that, and insist on a definition of absolute truth that doesn't trivially circle back to "God". When most people say "absolute truth" they have no idea what they are talking about. Very good point. When Schmo said he believes in objective truth I find myself translating that i...

I believe in the resurrection and second coming of Jesus. I realized long ago that there were people smarter than I am but also that I am not dumb. Christianity, or any other religion, has always had smart adherents. That's undeniable. The question, however, is whether they are applying the fullnes...
