  2. Final Grades/GPA thread/School/University Discussion

    I win on test scores. 36 ACT, 36 in all sections. 800 SAT Math 800 SAT Critical Reading 750 Writing (fucking Essay I hate it) Of course I still have a 2.7 GPA cause I'm lazy as fuck and too unmotivated to actually do homework. When I start learning something I learn it quickly but before I...

    definitely still in
  4. How did you create your username?

    Holy shit one of our school's counselors is a Dr. Dave.
  5. Torture

    Yea because Americans are god's fucking chosen people who have a perfect culture that outclasses everything different. Maybe people think that America's to blame for the world's problems because sometimes people wake up to find their city bombed to shreds for no fucking reason, and as they try...
  6. Wikipedia - How/when do you trust it?

    Encyclopedias, in general, tend to be tertiary sources of information, (they use primary sources and secondary sources as their evidence). It's usually preferred to have primary sources, and secondary sources are generally expected to at least be very close to the original material. Basically...
  7. Homosexuality

    Who decides what's right? Do you think you've got the qualifications to make that decision?
  8. evolution and sex education- your choice?

    I just want to point out that the reason we know science has been wrong, the reason that we know that radiated water is bad for you, is simply because the scientific thought process is willing to say, "hey I was wrong, let's try to improve our ideas". There's no corresponding idea of quality...
  9. Homosexuality

    Actually to be perfectly fair, I started out with my insult (that Christians who consider homosexuality a sin because of the literal meaning of the Bible are hypocrites), and backed it with 'facts' (the Bible), as opposed to the other way around. My two main points (that any arguments derived...
  10. Wikipedia - How/when do you trust it?

    I don't really buy into the argument that the Wikipedia is untrustworthy, though I think it's naive to assume that the Wikipedia is the end-all source of information. Of course, very few people will make that assertion, but when it comes to discussions about controversial topics, such as...
  11. Homosexuality

    Actually there are plenty of examples of homosexuality in nature. Even primates engage in homosexual sex, hell, EVERY SINGLE GREAT APE has reported homosexuality. There are many cases of animals having sex for non-procreative reasons. And your argument seems to be this: 1. Homosexuality...
  12. Homosexuality

    You left off verses 4-5: Strife, evil surmisings, and perverse disputings come from those who claim to be teachers of the truth, but in actuality differ from the word of Jesus. Godliness with contentment may certainly be gain, but gain is not inherently godly, and I would definitely say that...
  13. Homosexuality

    I agree, the Bible clearly states that homosexuality is wrong, and given that the Bible is completely inerrant and should be taken literally, this automatically means that all homosexuals are sinners who cannot be tolerated in society. Because of my belief in the Bible, I also think that...
  14. Visualize Your Last.fm History

    This is actually a lot different than I expected. I thought I'd have a lot more King Crimson/Porcupine Tree/Pink Floyd, as well as a much bigger Tool and Isis, but besides Radiohead being so big it's representative of my music tastes in general. It's really interesting how many Smogonites...
  15. U.S. President Themed Mafia -- Sign Ups

    I'd like to play.
  16. Bird Mafia Postgame!

    eh Misaki said it'd be better if I idled, which I think made sense. If I used my power on a thief, then I'd lose my power and the other team would get a new martyr, and if I martyred a killer I'd die because Misaki had already claimed, meaning the bg was protecting her. I probably could have...
  17. Durban Review Conference... your opinion?

    I do not think it would be a valid point for me to make that the only real claim to the land that the Jews have is a religious one, but I would point out that as far as my understanding of ancient Israel/Judah goes, the Israelites have to a large extent only been in Israel because after being...
  18. Durban Review Conference... your opinion?

    Right because the Arab-Israel conflict has nothing to do with the conflict between perceived imperialism against Arabs by Western-aided Israelis and the forces of Arab nationalism. I challenge you to read the Draft Charter of the PLO and actually find something held against Israeli from a...
  19. Affirmative Action

    I personally think that one of the biggest issues with the current state of Affirmative Action is the amount of aid that goes not to poor black Americans, but to the wealthy black who tend to be more highly qualified for the school/job/whatever's going on. If the real issue is that minorities...
  20. Any advice about a major in philosophy?

    I'm in the same situation you are; I'll be thinking about majoring in philosophy next year too. I'm planning on also double majoring in econ, which I think at least helps with making sure you have viable future career options, so I guess I'd ask if you had any idea of what you'd be interested in...
