    Gay-Friendly High School Coming to Chicago Area?

    I think the point has to do with the fact that high school is difficult enough socially when a student is straight. High school also happens to be a social scene in which not being perceived as straight can very often lead to being ostracized and bullied. Is this school just sheltering...

    How would you feel if your child was gay

    Natural selection is all about producing offspring that produce more offspring. So, what better place for their to be genetic variety and mutations than the genes having to do with sex? Sometimes these mutations lead to homosexuality, in other cases they lead to more offspring. Think...

    what position to take with oil prices?

    Yes, it most certainly IS the consensus of scientists who are studying it. A study of published papers on climate change (published in the journal Science) found the following: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/...ent/full/306/5702/1686 Might they be wrong? Sure, it's always a possibility...

    what position to take with oil prices?

    Must we turn this into a debate on global warming? The consensus of scientists who actually study it is that it's predominately manmade. Some politicians might argue otherwise, but it's the scientists who are the experts and who hold positions that stress objectivity. You don't...

    what position to take with oil prices?

    My way of thinking is basic responsibility. You pollute, you pay. Also, climate change from CO2 and other air pollution from burning gas most certainly DO affect the economy.

    what position to take with oil prices?

    Thanks for pointing that out. I meant to quote nakedfrog again, I'll fix it. Back to the discussion. Few places do tax gas for the exclusive purpose of remediation of environmental damages. LA is an outlier on this. And, I don't know of any gas taxes for the purpose of mitigating global...

    what position to take with oil prices?

    Maybe you think that everyone should pay equally to deal with environmental damages? Personally, I think it falls on the people who actually DO the polluting.

    what position to take with oil prices?

    Care to explain why you find that scary? Seems pretty logical to me. Burning gas leads to air pollution like smog as well as climate change. These problems are expensive to deal with. So, we should hold the people doing the polluting responsible for that damage. Hence, carbon tax.

    what position to take with oil prices?

    I'm for higher gas prices because I'm for a carbon tax. Gas is cheaper than it should be because the environmental costs of burning it are not factored into the price. This makes it more difficult for alternative energy sources to compete.

    Did they have sex in Before Sunrise?

    Watch 2 Days in Paris. More of a comedy, but very similar.

    Logitech VX Revolution notebook mouse $29.99 AR free shipping @ Buy.com

    The receiver does indeed store in the back of the mouse. I've used this and the vx nano. The nano was really too small for me and does not have a usable middle click. That was a deal breaker being that that's what I use for opening and closing tabs in firefox.

    The Fountain

    I actually really enjoyed this movie. I'm often disappointed in most sci-fi movies because they seem to only be set in a futuristic setting for the sake of having excessive action scenes. I like it when a sci-fi movie takes a more philosophical approach. Gattaca, 2001, and the Fountain are...

    Did they have sex in Before Sunrise?

    They don't actually show it, but I'm quite sure they do have sex on the grass in that park. The false memory idea is certainly neat though.

    Disturbing Commercial on TV?

    Ok, what do you folks think. The commercial uses a sexed up nazi to sell a videogame. Seems kind of sick to me. Is it ok to make nazis, responsible for some of the worst human rights abuses in history, sexy in order to sell a game? Here's a very poor quality video of it...

    Kodak "Pre-Charged" AA LOSD Rechargeables - $5 OTD

    male and female equality in the workplace

    Are we talking about a job that requires a penis or a vagina? If not, why discriminate on sex alone?

    male and female equality in the workplace

    I think a big problem is the assumption that women will take off 6 months of work to care for a baby. It's not hugely uncommon for a woman to keep working while a man takes care of the baby at home. This is especially true if the woman does not have paid leave and is the main source of...

    Gold box deal at Amazon.

    Good knives, but the "multiprep" knife seems sorta useless to me. Had it been an 8" chef's knife it'd be an excellent deal. As is, I don't think it's all that great. The paring knife is the only really useful thing in the package.

    Obama Assassination Plot Foiled

    I've heard a lot of people talking about Obama and a threat of assassination. I think it's being blown out of proportion. George W. Bush has a horrible approval rating, is hated by many millions overseas, started two wars, and has traveled internationally more than any other president...

    Good Equalizer Settings for Movies ?

    It's not really that simple. Usually you want to adjust to equalizer to make up for deficiencies in the speakers. So, it depends on your speakers, as well as the room and your personal taste in sound. If you want more or less treble, adjust the higher frequencies. Vocals seem off...

    Need help buying a blanket

    Ok so here's my odd request for help. I sleep much better in the winter when I have the weight of thick blankets on top of me. So, I was wondering if there are any blankets I can use in the summer that are heavy, but not very warm? Odd, I know, but I'd really appreciate any help with it.

    Does the coffeemaker matter?

    Not a whole lot of difference between cheap drip coffee machines. You could spend $200 and get a Technivorm brewer which gets the water up to 200°F which is what it should be (typical brew machines don't get the water hot enough). I'm not willing to spend that much so I just use a french press...

    Kitchen knife fans: what to start with?

    The whole block sets aren't that great of a deal in my opinion. I only use my wusthof chef's knife, paring knife, and a cheap bread knife. I use cheap serrated butter knives for everything else.

    Kitchen knife fans: what to start with?

    Supposedly this Forschner 8" chef's knife is nearly as good if not better than the Wusthof Grand Prix knives. I've got a Wusthof Grand Prix II 8" chef's knife and 4" paring knife and they're great, but if I had to choose again I'd probably save money and get the Forschner.

    Good but cheap cookware?

    Cheap non-stick is the way to go. The non-stick coating eventually wears off (even if you don't use metal utencils...which you shouldn't). But, the Tramontina Triply stainless will last you forever so it's worth the extra couple bucks. I use the stainless for most things and sticking food...

    Good but cheap cookware?

    Cast iron is a good bet if you're willing to take care of it. Surprisingly, Walmart has some decent cookware. I picked up a Tramontina cast iron dutch oven and a Tramontina 12" Tri-ply saute pan for less than $70 total. These are knockoffs of Le Creuset and All-Clad cookware which...

    Anyone using a Dell Vostro 200/400 or Inspiron 530

    I just got an Inspiron 530 with an E8200 and Radeon HD 2400 (I don't game). The computer is very quiet, but the hard drive I got (seagate 500GB 7200.10) is loud when it is seeking. Typically it's only annoying for the first couple minutes after it boots up. It isn't noticeable just playing a...

    So how do I cook rice. . . yea - you read it right

    I tend to use basmati rice which is an extra long grain rice. 1.5 cups of water per cup of rice. I melt a teaspoon of butter in a saucepan on medium heat, then put the rice in and stir it around to get all the grains covered in butter. Let it sit for a minute, then turn it up to high and...

    becoming a teacher

    I just started teaching high school science this past Fall. There are many ways one can become a teacher these days. But, nearly all of them require at least a bachelor's degree. I've got a B.S., but not in education so I'm enrolled in an alternate route teaching certification program in...
