I think it probably does have those options. Lol you could try and answer the questions weirdly and see.

Yeah I know.

Hey guys, Inspired by the BoS political scatterplot, I was wondering what people would come up as when they did this quiz: Belief-O-Matic - Beliefnet.com It calculates which belief system your answers are most compatible with and it's pretty interesting. It doesn't just have your...

Imo, there is a difference between ideals and practice here. Sure, socialism as an ideal is great. But the ways that Lenin and Stalin implemented it were not. In fact, I would argue that neither of their regimes were socialist, rather totalitarianism dressed up, particularly under Stalin...

Re: Questions about euthanasia... Yes, I agree with this. Which is why I'm willing to accept that mentally ill people should also be allowed euthanasia, I'm simply stating that I'm less comfortable with it personally, because, as I said above, they *might* recover, in a way that someone with...

Re: Questions about euthanasia... This is an interesting issue, and one I've talked about quite a lot. At first, I thought that there should be no way that people who were chronically mentally ill should be allowed euthanasia. But then I started thinking about it more. I agree with KFunk's...

I'm not a 'Keating worshipper', I just love his insults.

Re: Questions about euthanasia... Well, we would be if he did. But he hasn't done that. He's asking me just to transcribe his interviews, which he conducted with palliative care health professionals. This post is just out of interest for *me* because I was wondering what non-doctors thought.

This.

Oh yeah. That one's really sad.

I don't think there's any book that I've actually cried as I was reading it. There are books though, that have made me cry afterwards, or that have really moved me and made me think a lot, sometimes I've been sad for days afterwards. When I was 10, I read 'Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes'...

No, I guess I just don't think being homosexual is mutually inclusive of suffering. I think they suffer more because of some people's *attitude* towards them, rather than their attractions and/or relationships.

Hmm. Interesting point. I'd never really thought about it, but I do agree with you in that all we ever seem to learn about is the physical side, so maybe there's room to teach about how sex should be seen as about respecting each other, and respecting people's emotions, and not just their...

Questions about euthanasia... Hey guys. Just been doing some work for my Dad, he's doing a PhD on euthanasia and interviewing palliative care specialists and other doctors about their views. He recorded the interviews, and I've been typing them out. People have said some really interesting...

Even though I liked your post, I disagree with this sentiment. If people aren't intolerant, why should they? Many straight people don't feel anti-gay, and shouldn't be all lumped in with those who do, just as gay guys don't deserve to all be lumped in as wearing tight pants and makeup, or gay...

Loathed him. Couldn't stand the man. But no one says it better than Paul Keating: Paul Keating Insults Archive

I don't know. Depends on many things. But I don't really agree with the war in Afghanistan, so my initial inclination is to disagree. However, it's true that the Taliban fucked the place up and we should do something about it. So yeah. Lol. Wow. That was insightful.

Re: Strong and effective climate change policy, that doesn't involve a great, big new Yeah, agreed. But I think runoutofsleep's point was that he's hardly going to waste time on a 'strong and effective climate policy' for something he doesn't believe in, is he? And it's not just him who...
