I'm still kind of concerned that OSC hasn't yet wrung the last shred of marketable story from this universe. For instance, what happened to that guy Ender eats dinner with the first day in Battle School? I demand to know his backstory! How about a romance (first-base only, of course) between Teenage...

Aaaaaah!!! It's real!
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0765312824/hatrackriver The horror is upon us. The "Christmas at Battle School" book arrives this fall. I know OSC has to pay the bills, but he probably could've just threatened to publish this thing unless we all went out and bought an extra copy of ...

No, the distinction is very clear, and it's very important. A good analogy: I'm giving a speech on the evils of drug abuse. Among my points: 1. Binge drinking is bad because it leads to poor judgement, increased risk of injury to self or others, increased risk of sexual abuse, bad long-term health e...

Sparrow, Read the quote again. The Vatican compares abortion and euthanasia with terrorism, but only calls homosexuality evil. In other words, the Catholic Church thinks homosexuality is wrong (which should come as no surprise). The comparison to terrorism, however, is reserved for practices that th...

As only one other state has less people than DC (Wyoming), and that only two others are anywhere near it (Alaska and North Dakota), I would like to see more information about this bill, too. It would seem a tad... unfair... to give Washington DC representation that is comparable to other small stat...

Mandatory Organ Donation
Different countries have different systems governing organ donation. Some, like Spain and Austria, automatically sign up everyone as an organ donor, but have an option to opt out of the system. As a result, those countries have very high levels of organ donation, much shorter waiting lists, and much...

Matty that's good and all but it has no conclusive evidence to be that way. God has to experience time sequentially. How else could he have created the world in 7 days? Surely he understands and experiences time the same as we do. No. If you assume that God is omniscient and omnipotent, then him ex...

Responding to the original question. The best resolution I've heard of the perfect knowlege/free will paradox comes from C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity. It goes like this: First, an observation. If God did not know the future, there would be no problem, because he could only watch us as we acted. An...

I am getting angry now so I will end at this: Why is it acceptable when there is racism against whites, and not when it's 'vice versa'? And why is racism of any kind being promoted!?

The reason the majority of Americans disapprove of gay marriage absolutely is the issue--it determines whether or not their argument is constitutionally viable and, if not, the courts (who are often the ones to order a change in the status quo on serious issues) have the duty to strike down every l...
