| Making friends is something I'm absolutely intent on not giving up on, yeah it's unbelievably difficult to understand how to be sociable we all experience this day after day. But I just can't give up on it, it's the human condition we are social animals. There's a rock/alternate music pub in town th... |

| I watched a programme on British T.V few years ago and apparently only 1% of the herion that comes into Scotland is actually seized by the police, makes you think is it really worth spending so much money trying to control it when it's obviously impossible. I'm wondering if this is the same for othe... |

| I'm a grown man and I developed a major crush/obsession at this place I was volunteering at. It was unbelievable the effect it had on me, I couldn't eat, sleep or think straight for months, I don't even remember anything like it from my teenage years. The only thing that removed her from my mind was... |

I have a Celestron Ultima 8 inch Schmidt cassegrain, Celestron 90mm Maksutov, Celestron 80mm rich field computerized refractor, Sears 80 mm refractor, and a pair of 80 mm binoculars. I had considered a dobsonian bu... |

| Is there anyone on here who's also into astronomy? I'm trying to get the cash together for a scope at the moment, maybe a refractor or a dobsonian reflector. I currently own a pair of 70mm Skymaster binoculars, and have been viewing Jupiter and Uranus for the past couple weeks. I did own a large 10"... |

| People have the right and a duty to stand up and speak against obviously evil people, I don't think it's right to allow homophobic, violent or generally intolerant people to simply say what they want and not hear the voice of reason in response. The obvious example is Phelps, any moral person can se... |

| This sort of thing is really annoying because free speech means they're able to produce this rubbish, liberty gives the non-liberal the right and the tools to then attack it with. This is something I often think about because you can't take away free speech and liberty, and I agree with that totally... |
