    U.K.'s new child slavery problem

    Oh brother....:rolleyes: you sound like claybugg. It's greed. Not capitalism. Do you think there were not horrible child labor/abuse problems in communist countries?

    Life of Pi: Does the Fiction Cheapen?

    So I looked the word "dose" up on dictionary.com, and as a noun one of the definitions was: I don't recall STD's being a part of the story. To the best of my knowledge there are no witches in the story either. I'm not sure we read the same book.

    The Next President

    Please keep this in mind. Especially you Democrats when voting in the Primaries.

    Computer Virus Protection - 2008

    Funny. Outdated in the computer world is based on hours and days, not years or decades. My illustrator is a very good friend. He'd sooner cut his own feet off than stop using his Mac. My wife's cousin just graduated from college with an art degree and she swears beyond all that is...

    Computer Virus Protection - 2008

    Jez, what Zolipara said was a bit/lot different than what you said. And this is a debatable topic just as much as "which is the best car to buy for under $30,000". Lots of people have lots of different experiences. Many will condem what others praise. Just like religion. You may...

    Computer Virus Protection - 2008

    Are you some disgruntled ex-Apple employee or something? Appears you have some ax to grind against Mac's. Most people have intense hatred for Microsoft. I know many people, both personally and through internet who have used both and swear by the Apple products over Microsoft/PC...

    Computer Virus Protection - 2008

    Jez, I love to debate and argue like almost nobody on this forum. I'm not a techno-geek-dorkophile. I was speaking in generalities. I don't care if it's spyware, adware, virus, trojan, or worm. It's not as simple as "knowing what to click on". I have two children and they all use...

    Computer Virus Protection - 2008

    Wrong on many accounts. !.) It's not "someone" - there's a huge huge huge industry around computer virus protection if you haven't noticed. This isn't an un-common event among internet surfers. 99% (from what I've heard and read) of all computer viruses are effecting ONLY windows operating...

    Computer Virus Protection - 2008

    I am running Avast at this very moment. It's doing an interesting thing. It's running a check from the "boot-up" sequence. I like that idea. I've run AVG and Ad-Aware prior. Both found things the other had not. Now Avast is churning away at the boot-up screen. An Apple Mac...

    Computer Virus Protection - 2008

    What are you using, and why? Did you download it? Was it free? I'm asking in regards to a Dell PC running Windows XP. Did you buy it online? Did you buy it from a store? Please let me know what you use and why. Thanks.

    Un-Baptism

    My wife once had a close friend express something almost close to outrage when she found out we had no intentions of ever baptising our children. It was her strongly held belief that such a thing was mandatory. The result of not baptising an infant was at the very least going to keep the...

    Offended yet?

    For some past discussion on the subject: click here <-- :) The history of this forum can be a real blast. :D

    Un-Baptism

    Obviously the baptism of an infant is more for the mental state of the parents/adult family members and not for the "safety" of the child's soul. That whole "original sin" issue aside, I just can't even begin to imagine any "God" not allowing an infant into whatever heaven might exist simply...

    old topics

    I have no idea why you'd think erasing history is the proper thing to do. I have no idea what you, or anybody else here would gain by doing something like that. Use of space? What? Think of it this way, If a book in your local library does not get checked out once over the span of...

    Book Review: Chi Gung: Chinese Healing, Energy and Natural Magick by L.V. Carnie

    Thanks for posting this. As a student of Hung Gar Kung Fu we often do Chi Gung exercises. Particularly before Iron Palm sessions we spend a few minutes with this as well. Focusing on breathing into/through your core, and the energy that core strength can produce is quite interesting...

    Gun Control

    Twisting the point once again. :p The point is, the weapon of choice does not have to be a gun. Which is quite related to this thread. And, that suicidal individuals who wish to take out large numbers of innocent people don't need to grab AK47's. And, that the method of acquiring fame plays...

    Free Rice

    I'm pretty surprised that a forum full of readers is not turning this into a fun little competition. Who can achieve the highest level of sustained vocabulary skills along with the highest grain count?
