  1. Yes, because the fact of the matter is that they are. The existence of bacon alone is testament to this.
  2. Read: Arguments that don't revolve around comparisons between abortion and Nazi Germany.
  3. If animals weren't delicious, you might have a defensible argument.
  4. Dear Godwin, Get out of this thread. Sincerely, People with real arguments
  5. Churches' rights should begin and end at the altar. They should never have the right to force an unsuitable mother to bear a child.
  6. Absolutely. After all, its just a thing and it doesn't have life. But is it the right thing to do? What does that have to do with it? If it's what has to be done, being the right thing to do isn't what matters.
  7. If a teenager was irresponsible enough to have unprotected sex and fall pregnant because of it, would you allow them the chance to bring a child into the world? I don't believe that anyone has the right to force a child to be born into and raised in an environment which isn't conducive to their physical and psychological well-being. Teen mothers and families who cannot support these children should not be forced to bear them, nor should social services be overburdened by masses of newborns being put up for adoption. At any rate, the issue of teen pregnancy could be avoided altogether if America dropped that silly abstinence credo and taught children what practically every civilised nation in the world does.
  8. Because if there was such a high demand for vegetables, suppliers will raise prices to maximise their profits. Also, you're forgetting the hidden cost of vegetarianism, that is, you don't get to eat dead animals.
  9. Alestorm - Nancy the Tavern Wench Especially the chorus.
  10. Sex is good, what are you complaining about? Oh, right, you're in good old puritanical America, where people are uptight because they don't get laid enough.
  11. Well, putting this out there before this gets locked, but your computer might be able to run Dwarf Fortress.
  12. Then don't. Crap's sake, you have no right to be condescending just because I called you out for posting something in ignorance.
  13. Maturity is a function of how capable an individual is of exerting control over their environment, and how they deal with the consequences of said exercise.
  14. The Mists of Avalon? Pardon me, but Marion Zimmer Bradley was building on material originally set out by Tennyson, Malory, and the oral traditions of the British Isles before them. And then she put a feminist slant on it. Good read, but hardly a case of "almost all the material was created by the author". And I caution against treating it as historical fiction, because the "time of Arthur" is this ephemeral point in history that lies somewhere between the fall of Rome and the high middle ages. As for actual historical fiction... I can't believe that nobody has mentioned Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front.
  15. You should only ever use the ellipsis sparingly. Otherwise you run the risk of sounding like a hack fanfiction writer.
  16. You best be joking. Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet is just about the only film adaptation of the play that was actually any good.

    Twilight.

    Could you write 4 books any better? If I wasn't busy studying to get a qualification, I dare say that yes, yes I could. With contemptuous ease.
  18. Dailies and selling quest rewards, unless you have a gathering skill, in which case, use that.

    Breaking vows

    You odious turd. People halfway across the world would kill to be able to eat that chicken, but you won't because it's "cruel" to the animals? Get over your stupid vow and eat the friggin' bird. God, I'm going to have to gank some Alliance to ease off this foodrage.
  20. Nobody with two functional braincells would have jumped to the conclusion that you were an atheist just for citing Russell's teapot.
  21. Time isn't a constant. There is no universal time. In saying that, you implicitly accept that the existence of time itself is a constant.
  22. As a future English teacher, I believe I am in a position to say that Shakespeare is a blight upon the academic world. People are far too given to overanalysis in the proximity of Shakespeare. If I hear about one more twit trying to force a Marxist or feminist reading onto Macbeth, I will remove their spinal column with my teeth.
  23. I would be disappointed if we found alien life and didn't immediately start exploiting the hell out of it. Prior to the mandatory purging of all xeno filth, of course.

    Think.

    Given our rate of social change and technological advancement, it is arrogant to presume that we can even begin to fathom what a hundred years ahead would be like, let alone a hundred times that. Do you believe that Cicero, Da Vinci or even Churchill would have been able to envision the world as it is today? But regardless of how much we forget about the past, we always remember the great works and atrocities of history. I have no doubt that in two or three hundred years, mathematicians will still know Pythagoras' name, nor in a thousand will we forget Hitler.
