This is a question to anyone who has ever bought an Anne Coulter book, how can you believe the bullsh*t she is shoveling. Wake up people, everytime I see Coulter's book on the best seller list I am shocked at the stupidity of the public and wonder if it is all just a big joke and we just need to sit back and wait for the punchline.

Honestly how can you deny that the earth is being used up? I don't think anyone here is saying the moon is a vaiable alternative to earth but it is as the poster said, a start. Eventually we will have to expand to survive and if we can't even get set up on the moon what are the chances of getting anywhere else. My dream would be to live in a solar system/galaxy whereve where I can travel to various planets easily and freely and I honestly believe it will happen some day, not, mind you in my time but for a generation yet to come and I want to help man kind achieve that.
Personally I am not offendend by the public display of the 10 commandments or any other religious symbol but I do believe that by doing so you are in a way impacting peoples religious freedom. By displaying the commandments it is sending a message that everyone is a believer in a certain faith. This of course is not true and it should not be allowed.
I totally agree with the poster. I myself am I diabetic and it angers me that these people want to stop research based on the idea that using otherwise disregarded cells to do research is "murder". If scientists can find a way to do the same research without embryos then by all means go ahead but as it stands the best shot for curing diseases like diabetes, alzheimers, etc is with the use of embryonic stem cells. The decision is this: do we let people die and suffer from diseases that could be cured with this research based on the belief that an embryo is alive but will most likely be thrown out anyway?
I feel like this issue is not getting enough public attention, to me it is huge. As it stands the internet is nuetral territory for anyone. It allows anyone to get a good idea out to the world, without this it would be extremely difficult for the little man to make an impact online. I do my best to inform the people I know of net nuetrality because I feel it is missunderstood by the general public. Net nuetrality=good for individuals, does not allow big biz to control information.
