| Just finding a partner isn't going to magically fix the problems you have, because that's not the cause of the problems. You have to love yourself before you can love another. You'll never get anywhere unless you fix those problems first. Your image of yourself is damaged by years of negative thinki... |

| Well, I've been single for my whole life, but I'm not at all lonely. I'm sure you have friends, and no one is alone who has friends. A certain percent of the population is going to go their whole lives without being with someone. This is a fact. If this frightens or depresses you, you should try and... |

| Well so far that's not happened. But if someone said that, and I was interested I would definitely say yes. Friends relationships also have the tendency to stay that way. Once you're "just friends" you probably won’t ever be more than that. This really isn't a problem for me though, I like having a ... |

| The only way I'll find myself in a relationship is if someone was so interested in me that they decided to let me know, and take the initiative. Societal norms and the conventions of social interactions make this all but completely unlikely. Why would I, or anyone for that matter, spend time and ene... |

| I'm 23. Never had a relationship. Never "dated" at all. I have a lot of friends though, and I wouldn't trade them for one romantic relationship. Just realize that you can be happy being single. You have to live with yourself before you can live with anyone else. Once you are happy just being with yo... |

The moment religion starts interfering with my life I'm against it.
Unfortunately, religion as of late has given me a lot of reasons to be against it.

| Pure laissez faire sounds like a recipe for a disaster though. I agree on that. I'd rather not see a civil war between the power company and the water company. :lol: Also, the state has the right to tell people what to do if it is in the state's best interest. People exist to further the ability of... |

| Even if it is true, it wouldn't matter because we couldn't test for it, or make any predictions based on it. You would need the ability to map the location of every subatomic particle of every atom of the entire universe in real time to understand how everything interacts. Since such exact computati... |

| It perpetuates a culture were science is neither respected, nor understood. If this doesn't have an effect on our ability to compete as a nation I don't know what possibly would. ID teaches people that it's OK to not think critically about the hard questions, and that the religious answer is an acce... |

| Morality isn't something you "compromise". It's not a currency that you have to conserve. What ever you choose to allow and tolerate those are your morals. If you choose to allow marijuana then it becomes part of your moral code. Everything is relative here! The only way you can even say what is mor... |

| Rome still existed as a stable sovereign entity for hundreds of years with morals that would be considered deplorable by today's standards. They were like that for nearly the entire span of their existence, so the "bad-morals" could not have been the only factor in Rome's ultimate collapse (the bigg... |

| Throughout human history "morals" are always relative to the observer. Imperial Rome would be considered so immoral, so decadent by modern American standards that it would make liberal countries of today look like fascist police states. We're talking about a society that enjoyed watching humans be e... |

| Those online tests are rather silly, but it was more about the scientific method than evolution. (100% BTW :lol: ) ID does not make any predictions, or provide any testable or repeatable observations. It does not follow the scientific method, it's not a theory, and those who support it--or even thos... |

If I were a gambler I’d put it all on single ‘till death. The last few years of my life have been, different, to say t... |
