I don't know how valid this study is but you do not want tinnitus. I have it pretty bad and it's getting worse as I age. I wouldn't say it's ruined my life but it has severely decreased my quality of life and severely in

Isn't that exactly how humans have been able to progress so far? By standing on the shoulders of others to reach higher and higher lofts? If you don't want your knowledge to be used by machines or man, then you should bottle them

Why is coercion the chosen course and not voluntarism? I actually like your reply the most. You almost proudly admit to being in favor of violence against your fellow man but didn't quite get there. I'll help finish your thought:

1. I should complain to my parents that you gathered a gang of thugs and sent them to rob me? That doesn't make sense. 2. How about take away the government? 3. Why are you obsessed with guns? Is it because I used the word gun? Feel fr

Voting is immoral too. If I don't support the potential outcome, how could I justify participating? Here's a scenario for you: 11 people in a room. They decide to take a majority vote to murder one of the 11 at random. What's

What? You're not addressing my point at all. You're just rambling trying to justify your position. No one ever simply admits to being in favor violence and murder towards their fellow man. Just admit it instead of diverting and at

It's the coercive nature by which wealth is redistributed to other people that brings upon the questions of morality. If I'm forced at the end of a barrel of a gun to give up any portion of the fruits of my labor to support others

Paranoid me can imagine a situation where some political enemy needs eliminated and a fall guy needs found. Sprinkle a little 23andme acquired DNA on the scene and some random citizen gets convicted.

I run a 1980s TV station in my house so I need large amounts of video. I have close to 9,000 individual 80s commercials that get reinserted back into 80s television shows. I don't think I've yet to see all 9,000 commercials but I

I remember my friends and I getting stoned in high school and renting every Disney cartoon feature film. Since they were old releases they cost us $1 each. I think we spent $13 in total. We spent more on the pot and candy.

The US isn't the only country in the world. Find sources from European or British agencies, unless the U.S. has them under control too?
