  1. And that's a bad thing, how?
  2. The main thing here is that if the subjects of bullying have underlying mental health issues, it breeds disastrous results such as these suicides. You'd think that once people got to a certain age they'd recognize the issues that might be the result of their actions. Maybe some of us were just raised better.
  3. So how many pizzas have you sent to Dharun Ravi's place?
  4. I knew there was a reason why I'm not buying it until winter break.
  5. In Whales? Damn. I didn't think Whales were that big!
  6. How's this, then? http://theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/muslim_voices_against_extremism_and_terrorism_part_i_fatwas/0012209 And that's just part I.
  7. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/universe/features/gliese_581_feature.html Also, an astronomer speculates about the possibility of life on that planet: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39427032
  8. A decade? Ha! It's already begun. Don't forget genetics and "I'm addicted to food," too.
  9. Pulled pork and coleslaw sandwich
  10. I believe he addressed that:
  11. It's still not close. Some soccer fans still throw peanuts and bananas at black players.
  12. Let's not kid ourselves, there are major, major differences between Catholicism and mainstream American Protestantism. Things Catholics believe that mainstream American protestants don't believe include: Transubstantiation during the rite of the Eucharist Papal infallibility Worshiping of "saints" Salvation through faith and good works (I'm pretty sure they still believe this, but it's all off the top of my head) Priests being "normal" people's only direct line to God Condoms spread AIDS
  13. Indeed. I just like berating people in real life
  14. Again, I don't think that's so obvious. A child that is raised by parents who are constantly fighting/bickering over serious issues is not going to have the best mental health. I think that in, at the very least, the extreme cases similar to this divorce would put much less strain on the child's mind.
  15. It's not doubted that children of divorce are often messed up in some way, but I wish to ask a question. Which do you think is worse, a child growing up in a very unhappy home or growing up in a bi-nuclear setting, with two happy/not unhappy "homes?" To me the answer doesn't come quickly or obviously.
  16. Reminds me of fat people. We can berate smokers of cigarettes in public all we want about the poor choices they're making, but when it comes to fat people, nuh-uh.
  17. I didn't think that was what you were saying before. Carry on.
  18. Wow, you're really good at the correlation = causation thing
  19. And not a single !@#$ was given that day.
  20. Whatever you say, bud.
  21. More updates, per CNN: People have been cleared to leave the campus There is no second suspect Police are still checking for possible explosives left behind
  22. Take my word for it, he's extremely bright. Must have been a bad school. I was talking to a Catholic girl I know here and she seems to know all about church doctrine. She did say something that puzzled me though, "Non-Catholics cannot take the Eucharist because they don't know what it means." I quickly pointed out to her that a lot of Catholics probably don't know what it means, and my suspicion is confirmed with this survey.
  23. Doesn't surprise me that a lot of them haven't learned about it. My roommate went through about 7 years worth of after-school Catholic classes before he got confirmed. They didn't learn a whole lot about Catholicism. Edit: Also, I was the first person to even say the word "transubstantiation" to him.
