McCain eats little children

Parents make their little kids fight in front of a paying audience
Ah, that is rather similar, the differences being that here schools are municipal businesses, that are merely governed by the state and (to a much lesser extent) the federal governments.

Parents make their little kids fight in front of a paying audience
In the US, schools are governed at a municipal, state, and federal level, in that order. From my understanding, the federal level has very little to do with education in the United States, except with the occasional n...

Is this sick or am I weird ?
I can't see how it's sick. Uncommon, yes...but I can't see anything wrong with it.

Parents make their little kids fight in front of a paying audience
Isn't that exactly as it should be? I would compare crying before a bout to groveling before a piano lesson. Now, I am aware they are very different, but the concept is the same. Parents should be more like Raf's: sup...

This could simply be a typical self-defense course, through the eyes of...a journalist. Now, journalism is very important and necessary, but one must take it all with a grain of salt: there's really no such thing as "...

Censorship, live TV, the FCC, and the way it's gonna be...
Hey, look, someone else has had their name disappear! How do we fix this? Profile editing is rather...impermanent. Edit: Maybe I fixed it?

Writing piano rock songs? (Question for song writers/performers)
Yes, it all comes down to you, but there are a few "templates" to get you started. I mean, what else is music theory but a template to guide you along? A very basic piano rock riff is to pedal a chord with a bass note...

The Dark Knight
I mostly agree with PG. Although Ledger wasn't anything special, it was still a good performance, so whatever - no travesties on the horizon. The Batman voice was especially silly in this film - I don't think I really...

An arranged marriage can certainly lead to a happy, loving, and long-lasting...even perfect relationship. That said, denouncing it completely is NOT short-sighted at all. It is a clear and undeniable infringement upon...

Wall E
It was really good, although I don't understand the nearly universal acclaim for it. I'd also prefer less social commentary in a Pixar film. We're all going to be fat and lazy while killing the planet, how original. T...

Iraq/Afghanistan
If there was any proof to anything that you had said, there would be one more Vice President behind bars than there is now. If Bill Clinton could hardly get away with sexual misconduct, what on earth makes you think a...

Iraq/Afghanistan
Hold on a second. Here are the facts: 1) The US government received intelligence from several typically credible sources, such as the CIA and other intelligence agencies, which indicated a threat to the United States....

George Carlin passes away at 71
He will always be one of my favorites. Despite his outlandish views (to some), I can't think of a single time I've ever disagreed with him.

Iraq/Afghanistan
This is silly. To say the war was for this reason or that reason is a very narrow-sighted view of the events preceding and following the inception of the war. Off the top of my head, I can think of a handful of contri...
