   I don't think celibacy of priests is a good example of this. For one thing, it rarely actually happens, as priests routinely abdicate in order to marry or just father children out of wedlock. For another, if only priests are celibate

   I feel bad for the poor guy described as "good enough." It sounds like he was abruptly dumped on a whim. I'd like to hear more about him. In general, these types of travel blog, feel good, live life, highly SEOed, entrepren

   It's much bigger than that. Read past the third paragraph, it's really interesting.

   Very clever. I just forked over a $10 card for $6 in bitcoins. I've been reading about bitcoin since its inception and finally have my own slice of the pie...

   Totally subjective concept. This person knows of a lot of chefs and not a lot of app designers, and has projected his worldview onto everyone else.

   Opinions on dating are opinions on gender, and they're not unusual, they're ridiculous. I'm male. I consider myself a feminist. It's just as possible to offend me with ignorant statements as it is to offend anyone else

    From the most recent post: "I basically think "dating" -- ie men spending money on women in hopes of getting laid -- is a form of socially sanctioned prostitution." Why are we wasting time discussing this author?

    Society could, as it always has, adjust to this paradigm shift and life will continue on, with the same arguments to recur in the next generation. Or We could be plunged head first into a dark dystopian world where people eat each other&#x2

    "made me hate them a little more" It seems like your whole perception of the situation is skewed by your preexisting disdain for these folks.

    Yeah, I agree. The rest of the points make a convincing argument, but the "I can't be racist, look at all my black friends" argument doesn't fly.

    If you're actually trying to help the developing world, this is very low gains for a high amount of effort. Also, if you doled these out they would immediately be stolen or sold away and hoarded.

    Things like this always reminds me of the way the Romans poisoned themselves with lead pipes for centuries. What modern equivalents to this do we have? Soap? Cell phones? Sitting? Who knows. There have to be plenty of things in the mo

    I think it's much more complicated than that. I wouldn't say it "caused" him to commit suicide, so much as greatly contributed. If the punishment vastly outweighs the crime, to the extent that one's mental health i

    Why does every article on that site say "Advertisement" at the top? Makes me skeptical of everything there.

    I was really into this back in high school but never got proficient in it. The concept is simple to understand but actually executing it takes a LOT of practice. Raking can open a lot of older locks pretty quickly, but that doesn't m

    Something about the idea of an "open letter" always bothers me. I don't know who Joel is, or why I should trust that this issue is important. The coming of a "morality apocalypse" is pure speculation, with no data
