    Patenting Genes and Life

    I think these patents should be upheld, but not for the duration of most patents. People have a right to exploit their own ingenuity without competitors for a short time (this helps to establish themselves in a market dominated by richer and more established companies), but in the case of...

    Happiness as key?

    So genes, romantic partnerships, and family are the main keys to happiness. Genes are the hand we are dealt and are of limited interest when it comes to increasing happiness. So why are marriage and family so important? It seems that they keep us socially involved and lend a sense of purpose to...

    What is a modern relationship?

    've just been reading a book called "Women are crazy, men are stupid", which is a bit of a misleading title. By crazy they mean women notice detail and have heightened perception and intuition; by stupid they mean not tuned-in emotionally. Men often see sexual opportunity where women require...

    Who Decides What is "News" and What is Not?

    FOX News is not a credible news organization by any standard. As if by force of habit, they take information and pervert itknowingly. That being said, Obama would be just as right to shut out MSNBC or CNN, for the same reason that anyone else would shut them out. For the most part, it is...

    Should flood victims be forced to leave their homes

    ast week, the town of Melita, in the southwest corner of the province, figured it was almost ready for the Souris River to flood. "We thought we were getting pretty close, but then they bumped the forecast up another half a foot," Mayor Bob Walker said Monday. Now the town of 1,100 is adding a...

    Is the US a "classless" society?

    The UK classes are birth, or name, or title related. The US has three classes. They are Money related. Upper class is similar to the UK. Some sissy bastard has a rich dad and they are rich and it gets passed down from jerk to jerk... Also some come up with an idea or product and make it. Or...

    The Pro-Life argument

    Look, the idea that a human life begins at conception can be held from a scientific point of view. Conception and birth are the only really clear boundaries. There is no reason implicit in atheism that should require much special defense of that view. I'm atheist, and can see logical points of...

    are Youtube comments representative of society?

    In general terms I think that where there is no accountability people tend to act like assholes. Writing anonymously on youtube is one such place. On volconvo on the other hand, we're held to account for acting like dickheads so trolls, wums and other menaces are removed. It's actually quite...

    A better prison system

    The US criminal justice system is a travesty of justice, no question. But for this thread, I'm more interested in how people who are confined to prisons are treated. One school of thought is that treating prisoners as harsh as possible prevents crime. But the evidence seems to support the...

    Rape - "The ultimate violation of self?"

    Women are raped, they are subjected to degredation, and such actions are abhorent and need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law, but one thing people should never forget aswell, is that this society is rife with double standards, and in a situation where it is 'he said, she said'...

    Are all homophobics evil?

    Homophobes are evil? I oppose gay marriage (not wanting to turn this into a debate about that, I am just saying that I do), and to most gays that would make me a homophobe. I do not think that people that call gays "qu**rs" or "f*gs" or "d*kes" (the people I would consider homophobes) are evil...

    State to 'spy' on every phone call, email and web search

    And they will justify it by saying only the guilty have something to fear from this. However the innocent too lose something: a small freedom to privacy in your own home. Although your calls may be innoccous, your internet usage right-thinking and moral and other monitored communication above...

    Do we really need money ?

    I'm anxious to hear what others have to say on this topic. To me, the issue is finding consistent, and flexible funding that I can use to support the many volunteers who are already providing time and talent to help my small non profit with its work. Without consistent funding, programs start...

    Is everyone bisexual?

    I don't know, but I do know that all girls like girls. All girls are either gay or bi, it's just the way we are. Most girls are taught that it's wrong- whether they realize it or not, and even if they think they believe that it's okay, they would never try it for themselves- by society and...
