    Dane Cook - One truly funny dude.

    I can't stand Dane Cook as a comedian. He's an entertainer, in my opinion, but that's about it. He delivers the jokes he tells well. He's a joke thief, though, and that's what I really can't stand about him. You want an awesome comedian? Look up Mitch Hedberg. He's a genius.

    Feminism And The Portrayl Of Women In Media

    I'm not saying one shouldn't be allowed to, I'm just saying that the woman who did read it would probably be up in arms if a male coworker brought in a magazine whose purpose was to empower men. However, I wouldn't say that Cosmo is exactly a work-appropriate magazine either.

    Feminism And The Portrayl Of Women In Media

    While I believe that equal rights for all are essential (within reason, of course), I don't think it was appropriate for Coryn Wright to bring a feminist magazine into her workplace. I'm sure that she would be completely appalled if one of her male coworkers brought in a pro-man magazine...

    Difference between Vegans and Vegetarians??

    I worked at one for about three months and found it absolutely disgusting. I found the book spot on in relation to what happened at the chain I worked at. Of course I don't mean every single chain out there, as it sounds like the one you work at is fairly progressive. However, overall it's...

    Difference between Vegans and Vegetarians??

    McDonald's recycles in places that it was demanded of it, but they haven't made the initiative to switch to recyclable containers in much of Europe yet. They've been linked to destruction of rainforests, many of their feedlots have a negative impact on surrounding areas, meat packing...

    Difference between Vegans and Vegetarians??

    People attack McDonald's for multiple reasons. They're not exactly animal-rights activists or eco-friendly - they do what they can to increase their profits and draw attention away from how they do their business. And it's not just McDonald's, it's most of the fast food chains out there.

    Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life: The Abortion Discussion

    gregslabmouse, that's why, in most places where abortions are legal, there are massive restrictions on getting one after the 20th week, when it can survive prematurely. Nobody has yet brought up the theory of the effect abortion has had on crime. For those who don't know, the 30% crime drop...

    Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life: The Abortion Discussion

    According to the Pro-Choice Public Education Project, 77% of anti-abortion leaders are men. They'll be making the final decision either way.

    Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life: The Abortion Discussion

    Condoms and Birth Control pills aren't fool proof, though. Condoms can break, the Pill and spermicide can fail, caps can slip, etc, etc. One of my friends was forced to take the morning after pill after she realised the condom had broke, but had she not noticed then who's to say what would have...

    Pro-Choice vs. Pro-Life: The Abortion Discussion

    a·bor·tion –noun 1. Also called voluntary abortion. The removal of an embryo or fetus from the uterus in order to end a pregnancy. Are you pro-choice, one who supports or advocates legalization of abortion, or pro-life, one who is opposed to abortions? I'm pro-choice. I believe that there...

    Let's Talk Gay

    Quoth, does that mean one reason you're gay is because your parents are straight? If anyone is interested, CBC started a group on Facebook called The Great Canadian Wish List. Currently, an anti-abortion group is in first, with a pro-choice group in second. Coming in fourth? "Restore the...

    Difference between Vegans and Vegetarians??

    I'm speaking about the ones who don't stop preaching to meat-eaters about the injustices of eating meat, but don't stop to think about where their farmed salmon or scrambled eggs came from. It's the hypocrisy that gets me. Fish aren't swimming vegetables, which is a concept people often seem to...

    Difference between Vegans and Vegetarians??

    I don't eat red meat. My parents try to lump me as a vegetarian, but I eat chicken so I'm definitely not that. I don't see someone as a vegetarian if they eat ANY type of meat ... fish, eggs, chicken, etc. I can't stand it when people claim to be vegetarians yet they still eat fish.

    Change History

    I don't know if I would change anything. I know that we're at a pretty terrible place right now in terms of global warming, war, and poverty, but I think that past events have, in one way or another, become beneficial in one way. Perhaps I'd try to convince the guy who decided using oil as a...

    The Rant & I Cannot Say This Out Loud Thread

    To #1 Friend: I love you. Just so you know, we're getting an apartment in Australia when we graduate. I'll be telling you tomorrow. To #2 Friend: You're the most gorgeous person I've ever met, and I don't even think you realize it. I'm going to miss you more than you'll know ... probably more...

    Do you believe?

    That's just the shadow of the gas that's being burnt off. Is it pretty faint and shimmery? Heres a link to an experiment that illustrates basically the same phenomenon.

    Do you believe?

    No. I wish that there would be an afterlife, but I'm fairly certain that there isn't. I don't know how else I would elaborate on this, so I'll just say no, I don't believe in anything like that.
