Do women, on average, have a different profile of aptitudes and emotions than men? Were the events in the Bible...

Moses, enjoy life while you can, because remember, if I am right, eternity will suck for you . No offence but for such a nice, concerned guy this statement doesn't seem quite so fitting... If I am wrong, well, still try show some respect for people and their beliefs (even if it is fake, just preten...

The Two Learned Men Once there lived in the ancient city of Afkar two learned men who hated and belittled each other's learning. For one of them denied the existence of the gods and the other was a believer. One day the two met in the marketplace, and amidst their followers they began to dispute an...

I think this topic is a matter of religion! Spoken with such conviction - and ignorance. Tell me, if your religion decreed the 'belief in' gravity herecy would you acquiesce? If evolution was 'proved' to you to the point where denying it would be to go against logic, would you still consider it a r...

i have to be honest and say, untill i see the numbers, i take that with a dollop of salt... Indeed, and a wise position.
