1.	Stupid sexist idea and one that even most of the men on the site seem to be against given that so many voted on this side. I think you would actually be bored without us women. We provide the fodder for your sexist comments....nah, the site needs women even if only to temper some of the things you say. read more...

2.	Fortunately, we do not live in a society full of sociopaths. Yes, there are those out there who truly lack any remorse and who do not have the capacity to view others as human beings, but that is a personality disorder and the behavior you have described applies to people who are self absorbed and don't take the time to think of others before they act. Most of those people do, in fact, understand how others are impacted by their actions and some may not care. A sociopath cannot feel empathy nor have any guilt or remorse for hurting others either verbally or physically. The majority of sociopaths are not murderers, but can simply appear cold, calculated, manipulative and they don't have a great history of maintaining any close friendships because of their lack of ability to feel guilt and act in the appropriate manner when they have hurt someone close to them. read more...

4.	People are raised with all different belief systems. There are many religions and I can't possibly be closed minded enough to believe that only one religion or even one belief among Christians is reasonable. Where Christianity is concerned, I think that there are many ways that the Bible is interpreted. In fact, I think that some passages of scripture may even mean something different to the same person at different times in their life. One may read one verse and not be as moved by that verse at one point, only to find later that it has a lot more meaning during a different period in their life. The only exception for me is that I find it very hard to understand how some people who proclaim to be Christian can express such hatred. That will never make sense to me. Because I don't have much in depth knowledge of other religions, I can't really put into words why I feel they are valid and why I completely respect those who practice other religions, except to say that I believe that God (regardless of the name He is called in differing religions) is the same God and that He loves all of His children. None of us are unloved by God and, although I am more than happy to discuss my religious beliefs, I don't feel that forcing them on others is something that God wants nor do I think it would work. People need to be free to come to their own conclusions about God and religion. If everyone could respect each others differences and seek greater understanding of those differences, there would be much less of the hatred and contempt that comes between differing beliefs. I cannot see how anyone could disagree with this debate unless they are so closed minded as to believe that they are the only individual with some special God given ability to know what He intends for every single person in the world and that would be impossible. To have faith in God (or any other name one chooses to use to refer to Him) is highly personal. I love God and I love others...to me that is how I believe God wants me to live my life, but I also believe that my ability to empathize and see others' beliefs as valid is a gift from God. I can't take credit for what I feel God has put in my heart. Many people may feel I'm not a good Christian because I don't attend church every Sunday or for other reasons personal to them and I'm fine with that because the only "person" I feel I have to be true to where my faith is concerned is God. I suspect that others feel the same. They please God in whatever method they believe He has impressed in their mind and in their heart. read more...

5.	It is just horrific how those vegetarians murder all of those poor veggies....breaks my heart...LOL. People should eat whatever it is they like and try to maintain a balanced diet, but that can be accomplished without eating meat. Regardless of whether one eats healthfully or not, everyone has the right to eat what they wish. There is no reason to make any eating habit illegal. Well, school lunches could be made from real food...that would be nice. read more...
