Reccomend a restaurant in NYC

I like Butter in Astor Place. http://butterrestaurant.com/ If that's too expensive, go to Golden Unicorn: http://www.goldenunicornrestaurant.com/ Or go to Brooklyn Heights and eat at Noodle Pudding: http://www.yelp.com/biz/noodle-pudding-brooklyn

Lasik surgery, yea or nay? What do you know about it.

Some reasons why you should be a liberal rather than a conservative

I'm not sure that Jesus would advocate using force to take from those who have (against their will) to give to those who don't have anything. Are there any examples of this in the Bible?

Avatar made me want to throw up

Question about Food, INC.

I don't have an answer to your question - but I just wanted to say that I thought this was a great movie that was fair to all the parties involved. I also was laughing when they were interviewing the guy *while* he was slaughtering chickens. Same with the chickadees on the conveyor belt in the...

Really Kanye? Really?

I'm pretty sure Taylor Swift has already sold more albums than Kanye West - there was just a thing in the news that Taylor Swift has crossed 10 million total records - I don't think Kanye West is there yet.

Any ideas on where to go for a four-day Labor Day Weekend?

Take the 4 hour drive to Syracuse, New York and check out the New York State fair. It's a good time, and that's where I'll be.
