in america, we like to blame everything on canada. i dont know who they blame their stuff on but eventually theyre gonna get mad at us and invade michigan.

the only thing that even remotely comes to mind is roman numerals.

anyone watch or follow any of the major MMA sports? ive been a longtime fan of the UFC and recently got turned on to Pride FC. both are pretty much the same sport. the main differences are that the UFC uses a cage in the shape of an octogon where as pride uses a traditional ring. the rules are a little different. in ufc, you cant kick a downed opponent. in pride you can. both use a different scoring system. ufc uses the traditional round scoring where pride scores the entire match. other than that, it's pretty much the same. they even use alot of the same fighters. i see many fighters that switch between between their contracts. i think ufc is a little more popular. i cant be certain because pride is based in japan i think. but ufc is getting some pretty big sponsors. i think its only a matter of time before it breaks in to the mainstream. the sports are violent but they require a high degree of skill. i wouldnt mind seeing women get in on it. it's only a matter of time.

so everyone pretty much uses the traditional numbering system of 1 2 3 4...? i also heard that english was more or less the universal language or something like that.

how is math performed in other countries where english isnt the primary language? math has some tricky stuff and i cant picture calculus in anything other than numbers. obviously numbers but does anyone know what im refering to? also, how does the language and typing aspect of computers work in lets say, china? dont they have like a 2000 character alphabet?

what about seperation of church and state? in the US anyways.

what would you say is the strongest arguement against capital punishment?

throw in the stats on ethnicity of people executed/imprisoned and you get some wild conclusions.

there was one that came out last year called the life of david gale.

im all for alternatives as well. if society can benifit somehow then lets do it. for example, prison should be made to be self reliant. they should grow their own food, make their tools etc...

i find it funny that the US federal government leaves the matter up to the individual states. i think it's kind of a way for washington to avoid the issue.

my bad.

i havent been back since i started this thread as such, i havent had a chance to read this all. i will get to but it's alot of reading. however, i would like to add one more element to this that i didnt see anyone mention. and its obvious one too. is there any weight in the fact that the criminal that was executed was found guilty by a jury? a trial by jury is a trial by the people, a trial by your peers. can it be argued that it was t5he jury that determined the consequences and the system is just carrying out the people's decision? isnt it in a sense saying that society no longer wants him as a member of society or to even live?

ultimately, it has to be a woman's choice. i think it should be an option they should be able to explore. i believe that the government should even step in at times and force abortions. some people shouldnt have kids.

i entertain conspiracies because they lead to productive conversations. it's always cool to make up your own conspiracy theories.

come on man, you have to lay down some reasons with that. it's no fun otherwise.

i have bad spelling? nothing worst than having a bunch of lewd pop ups at the inopportune time. and feel free to embelish on the generalness of me.

i was actually going to make this about heavy metal and why people demonize it. surely there are plenty of reasons why one would demonize it but typically, when people do, they label all metal as evil. so not true.
