| On one side those against it say that society should be more accepting of disability and illness, and more accommodating to those who believe they have a diminished standard of living.

| 23 May 11 | Do you know I don't think we've had a 911 thread.. (71) by Attitude_Adjuster | (8 Jun 11, 9:23 AM by Sarcasma) |
| Clearly there is enough material here to keep the tinfoil hat club busy for years, but with Obama sin Laden dead, together with a few other interesting developments in the last year, I think its time we changed that. The response from suggesting to people that 9/11 wasn't all that was reported and portrayed now seems to fall on less deaf ears than it used to. Here's my personal round up of the intrigue.

| It is the frontal lobes that in humans allow the creation of abstract ideas such as heaven. They can be a mental defense against the futility of nothingness or the creation of social order necassary for societies to function. Thats the good news, sometimes. [more...] | ||

| 8 May 11 | A week is a long time in politics (44) by DancesWithPussycats | (16 May 11, 10:38 PM by CookieMonster) |
| It seems like only yesterday that people were overwhelmingly saying it was insane to have got involved in the debacle's of Iraq and Afghanistan, and that "the West" should keep out of other countries' affairs. Now many of the same people are clamouring for us to invade Libya, Syria, and any other country the media tells us is undergoing a popular uprising. Shouldn't we just mind our own business? | ||
