Debate & Discuss / Re: Is Halloween evil?

« on: November 02, 2011, 10:21:41 am »Message ID: 441191

Halloween, as superteacher pointed out, is an alteration of a celtic holiday, which means most people would call it Pagan. It's not meant to be satanic, and there are many other things that happen at roughly the same time, such as the Day of the Dead festivals.

I have 1 fish. His name is Jerry. He's about 4 years old, and he's a guppy. I'm not sure, but I think he might be immortal, as he has done some fairly dangerous things and gotten out of them okay

It seems everyone here is in agreement that Harry Potter doesn't deserve to be burned, based on the fact that books can't hurt people on their own. I like it.

Debate & Discuss / Re: Should everyone speak and be taught the same language?

Have you ever heard of the tower of Babel? People used to all speak the same language and it caused bad problems. If you are not familiar with the story, you can read it in the Bible.

I thought the tower of Babel thing was punishment for the hubris of man because we attempted to build a tower to heaven. So God punished us by making so that different people couldn't understand each other, and THAT led to problems.

It's not a scare tactic, It's a way of getting people to group together properly. Faith is a powerful thing, whether its in One God, Many gods, or faith in our fellow man. Jeez.

Uh, guys, the arsenic isnt in the apple juice because of processing. Its in the apples. I'd just watch out for eating too many apples. like roughly several thousand in one sitting. avoid that, you'll be fine.

Debate & Discuss / Re: Tongue Piercing

« on: November 02, 2011, 10:01:45 am »Message ID: 441151

Tongue piercings are just like any other piercing. You have to take care of them, and it takes a while to get used to them. If you get a great big one, and arent careful with it, sure you could crack your teeth. The same thing applies to people if you give them a hammer, in so much as not careful = break teeth. After enough time, you will eventually get used to it, and be able to speak just fine. I don't recommend it because when you first get them eating is the most difficult part, as you have to take time to get used to chewing without biting the piercing. But, to each his own, i say.

We know that lead based paint is harmful. We know drop cribs are dangerous. Just because one person made it through all that stuff doesn't mean we should be dangerous on purpose. I think that once we learn something is dangerous, we should should just stop using it as a general rule.

Vampires could exist. Some sort of human that evolved to sustain life from blood like a leech. Hmm... We may never know.

Obviously, the chicken and the egg as we know them are highly irrelevant to this entire discussion. If you wish to make a chicken, you must first create the universe.

Off-Topic / Re: Are you nuts about cupcakes?

« on: November 02, 2011, 09:46:22 am »Message ID: 441133

Cupcakes and Muffins are both awesome. I enjoy cupcakes because they are small, and tend to be a lot sweeter than your average muffin. However, muffins are my main form of breakfast most of the time.
