    News Staying at the Hilton vs Going to Jail

    That's why so many people lose money quickly, or end-up in debt. If you had as big of a wallet as Paris, the numbers would be much too complicated to deal with by yourself. You'd at least need a business manager with some sort of a finance background or an accountant to look after your money...

    News The girl who was stoned to death for falling in love

    Sorry, I judge a race, religion, culture, or country by looking at the entire sum of its parts. See, unlike you, I don't look at the houses in Beverly Hills and assume that "Everyone in the US is doing great." I don't take the best, and assume that that's it, that that's all there is to that...

    News The girl who was stoned to death for falling in love

    Maybe if those few crazed fundamentalists thought about how their actions would represent their religion (or race/culture), they wouldn't act in such ways. Unless you can show me some videos of a Buddhist based terrorist organization letting bombs off and killing numerous innocent civilians...

    News The girl who was stoned to death for falling in love

    Their literature might condemn it, but a noticeable percentage of their people don't. And that makes it okay for Muslim countries? Because it happens in India, it makes the fact that it happens in Muslim countries more acceptable? No, they do a good job of it themselves. I mean, unless...

    Other Becoming an Engineer: Considerations and Personal Experiences

    Yeah, graduating with a heavier workload in University, then sitting in a cubicle and getting bossed around by some middle-aged liberal arts/business major while having the same paycheck for the next decade sounds real rewarding.

    Engineering fields that work outdoors

    Take Forestry, with a concentration in Wood Product Engineering or Natural Resources management: http://www.forestry.ubc.ca/ People who study Forestry love the forest but learn to chop trees. Weyehauser helped build the new Forestry building at UBC, so just because you love it doesn't mean...

    Was My Gym Teacher Out of Line?

    He doesn't? I've had teachers yell loudly at me before. I remember in elementary, this teacher yelled at me so loudly everyone down the hall heard it. What was I doing that got him angry? I was telling my friend where "All The Right Type" was located in the Macintosh HD while he was...

    How big is the cheating problem at US uni's

    His Professor can't prove that he was cheating. If he was smart, he wouldn't have been "terminated." Is turning your head against the law at your school? Are you required to stay perfectly still? Did he sign a contract that said movement wasn't allowed while in class?

    Finding Aggressive Poems: What's Out There?

    If you consider rap as poetry (it is), then this should be perfect: http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/2pac/hitemup.html

    Was My Gym Teacher Out of Line?

    Spit in his face and say, "Thug 'till I die. We$tside!"

    News A Girl's Escape from Cruelty: Gulsoma's Story

    That's democracy in the United States now, but this wasn't the case a few decades ago. The US ran a democratic system, and the US had serious civil rights issues. They still called themselves a democracy. You can't compare the established democracy in the United States to the democracy in...

    Looks like all those anarchist thinkers were onto something

    It is, because it's human nature. Looking out for ourselves, putting "me" ahead of "you", doing what's best for ourselves - it's what we do. Competition for money, for food, for power, for whatever it is we want if there isn't enough of it for everyone. We don't need Confucius or...

    News Why do countries nationalize their resources?

    I forgot to add that another reason I'm voting for Harper over Martin is: Chinese redress. Martin refuses to do it. Harper is pressuring him to do it.

    News Why do countries nationalize their resources?

    Fundamentally "wrong" depends on who you ask. There are plenty of people who think Harper's stand on gay marriage is fundamentally right. Plus, he seems a lot more understanding this time around. He's realized his strict approach last year was what lost him the election. Harper just...

    What do you think of the Canadians on PF?

    Maybe those from B.C. and Ontario. Not the Quebecois. We think nothing of the British. Plus, their fans suck.
