    Help me and my friend with our trip planning

    I didnt mention Europe because we are looking more for a low tech small towns and open roads type of trip, although a few weeks spread between several big cities would be fine. Also we both have travelled in Europe before. Eastern Europe may work however... As far as adventure or chill, we...

    Help me and my friend with our trip planning

    Is Southeast Asia safe for two white guys to hike/bike through? Our initial choices of Australia or New Zealand were based on being easy to get around in and the language issue. I realize we wont be able to blend in anywhere, but both of us are over six foot and would stick out anywhere in...

    Help me and my friend with our trip planning

    Me and a friend of mine have decided that both of us need to see more of the world before settling down to the grind of our careers. We have thrown around some ideas but he is coming into town next week and we have decided its time to start planning hard. This is hopefully going to be between...

    What should we do with Islam?

    This is a really good point. Most people who believe Islam as a religion is evil and should be destroyed are thinking of culture, not religion. The Taliban, besides being a tyrannical political entity, were proponents of a culture, a culture which included Islam and used Islam as a...

    Internet Voting

    There has been some talk in the news on this subject recently, but I think that as the internet in general becomes more secure and in wider use, it will become a very big topic. I think that internet voting would cause a very important shift in voting patterns in favor of liberalism and the...

    So, I loaned my Dad $3,000.....

    You said yourself you didnt think he would be able to repay you way back when you loaned him the money and yet you still loaned it to him. Since you knew that it was a bad risk you obviously still went ahead and did it because you thought it was the right thing to do, repayment or not. Its...

    Conservatives of the board, what amendment would you be an 'activist for'?

    Switzerland is hardly your typical country. Its history, system or morals, government, everything is different enough from the USA that a comparison just doesnt work. I am sure that everyone having guns reduces petty theft (robbing from people with guns is not safe, duh) however what I am...

    Exactly how much easier can it get beyond handing out an assault rifle to every newborn?

    Conservatives of the board, what amendment would you be an 'activist for'?

    I actually agree that guns should not be restricted, however the argument that mass gun ownership would reduce crime is so ridiculous I am surprised conservatives like to use it. Lets take a simple comparison: Britain, no guns, low violent crime. Uganda, lots of guns, high violent crime. Do...

    Conservatives of the board, what amendment would you be an 'activist for'?

    This made me laugh out loud. You seriously think that you and your buddies with hunting rifles are going to militarily defeat the United States Government if it does something you dislike? HA! Couldnt religious expression be used to bring people to Judaism, or Islam, or something else? Or...

    So I got my first ticket today...what can I do about it?

    I think from now on police officers should ask people they catch whether they think its fair or not that they were caught and face prison time. If they dont think its fair, then obviously the law is fvcked up and the perp should be released. Possibly if found "unfair" the police officer should...

    How many Trillions of $ can the US be in debt till its credit rating goes down?

    Totally not true. Theres huge amounts of government lands that could potentially be sold. Think of the government buildings, the military equipment, the physical things that every government needs to keep going. The US government has more material possessions than any single person or...
