| Wait, I've just had a further thought - how do you become a suicide bomb teacher, anyway? Surely the teacher must be one who chickened out of their holy mission and decided to teach others how to do it, instead. In which case, might they not all prefer to become teachers rather than martyrs? Hooray,... |

| Look, I know you feel that bad outweighs good, but really all things are a mixture of good and bad, with both contained within the other. Take evolution, for example. I know it's easiest to explain it in terms of ruthless competition between individuals, but there's more to it than that. For instanc... |

| It's important to remember that just because somebody promotes something that has a particular consequence, doesn't necessarily mean that that consequence is their motivation for doing so. It may be that they are seeing the situation from their own point of view, and acting the way they are for a di... |

| Hey, no one remarked on this: that the death penalty is a sentence upon the executioner to be forced to kill a human being. http://www.policymic.com/articles/78235/chilling-testimony-of-death-row-executioners-casts-dark-shadow-over-entire-system I wonder how many would support capital punishment...o... |

| You know, if the objective was to make people contribute to their society, or to make them appreciate what it takes to keep it going, military service might be one, but not necessarily the best, of the ways to do that. Countries sometimes face invasions from foreign nations, but don't internal crise... |

| Why isn't there an option for "neither" or "both"? There should be, I think. Pure socialism doesn't work, and pure capitalism doesn't work either. For a stable, functioning society that can accommodate everyone's needs, you need to have both elements of socialism AND capitalism, in my opinion. Cana... |

| Those people referring to those whom they consider maladaptive probably haven't considered that that might include the mentally ill as well as those whom they originally had in mind. Admittedly, just because mistreatment isn't intended doesn't stop it from being hurtful. But you haven't told us how ... |

| Do you think Kerry and Obama will just assume the Iranian authorities will keep their word, and not make any preparations in case they don't? Neville Chamberlain didn't do that. People seem to forget that when his efforts to make peace failed, he declared war. If you don't like the idea of diplomats... |

| How can you ask a question like that? Is the USA a uniquely saintly country that ought, by some divine miracle, to be made into heaven on Earth? I'm surprised you haven't yet had a troll come along saying that the USA is evil and deserves everything it gets. |

| That seems to be the way the world's going at the moment. People aren't appreciating justice enough, and the principle that you are to be considered innocent until proven guilty. You see mobs of vigilantes all over. |

To be honest, it's not that imaginative.
Maybe you don't mind, you just want a username that's good enough to work, and that one will do. It's okay. |
