Polls

Obviously, people are divided over political beliefs. That is normal. Same with religious beliefs. And some people think their religious beliefs make them a better person. Do you feel the same way about political beliefs?

In a trial where there is sufficient evidence to convict the person who caused the death of another, should the death penalty be available as a means of punishment?

Please vote in the poll and add and opinion if you want.

Mentioning no names, but you've probably come across a few on here.

Just for fun, I'll unblock all 10 people I've blocked in nearly 10 years on here, until each tells a lie, refuses to accept a fact, or gratuitously insults me.

Just to get people started: Trump didn't win the majority of votes in 2016 or 2024. Even the finest dust will fall down in a vacuum, there's literally nothing there for it to be suspended in. Masks do help reduce the spread of Covid. Social distancing does, too. Vaccines work. Preventing less than 100% of something bad is not the same as preventing 0%, it is often still worthwhile. The US has a higher rate of knife murders than the UK, and that's less than 30% of US murders. There is no crisis of crime in US cities, in fact the crime rates have been going down. Trump's administration brought a convicted murderer convicted for brutally killing three people back to the US and set him free (Spain might be allowed to request he be caught, extradited, tried and re-convicted for the crime he was spending 30 in prison for, but nobody knows where he is.)

Feel free to post friendly wagers on how long each will last!

by immoral I just mean disgusting and punishable of course

according to chatGPT the main thing separating chimps "our closest living relative" (not an ancestor...) is their 48 chromosomes compared to our 46. IF chimpanzees somehow developed a fused chromosome that made them compatible with humans, and some crazy lunatic happened to find it and have s*x with it, this could be a reality one day. a 1/1000000000000000000000 chance, but a chance. what should happen to the person who does that?

I was reading this NPR article that reads: "They found that genes associated with African ancestry appear to affect certain brain cells in ways that could increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease and stroke. But genes associated with European ancestry seem to influence other brain cells in ways that could increase the risk of Parkinson's disease, a disorder that is less common in Black Americans."

Although this may be scientifically true, I find it sketchy because it suggests innate differences between the brains of the races. What do you think?

This question was asked 12 months ago, and with all the sadness in the world, I think it's time again to ask the question.

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" was a popular catchy song, and I think the lyrics are fun, but I've not heard the song for a long time.

The song suggests there are always worse things in life than what you may be experiencing.

I've picked out one verse to give you the flavour of the song.

What do you think?

For life is quite absurb

And deaths the final word

You must always face the curtain with a bow

Forget about your sin

Give the audience a grin

Enjoy it, it's your last chance anyhow

So always look on the bright side of life.

and why did u choose your answer
