Scolding carries no weight if the threat of a spanking isn't there. My dad used a belt on one of my siblings once and he never used it again. But now we knew that it was possibility, so anytime my siblings or I got yelled at, we knew that it could come out. As we got older, we started to realize tha...

I didn't say it was easy! I always feel like I made a total idiot of myself after I'm done with an interview, but apparently I didn't. And medical insurance is definitely a good perk. I had a job where I had to pay for it totally out of pocket, and it was ridiculous! I ended up quitting and taking a...

From who's point of view are we talking about here? My really cynical view is that religion is a tool for anyone who can wield it. So the heads use it for power of some kind, zealots use it as justification of any cause they might think of, etc. I mean, did the pharaohs really think they were god an...

Re: Would you agree with this?
...in spite of evidence of some sort to the contrary? I don't know what evidence there could possibly be one way or another... What someone might consider a miracle and total proof of god could be seen as a scientific process by another. Some people view childbirth as a miracle, while others see it...

An eye for an eye, we will all end up blind. I like that. Was that you, or did someone else say it? I personally have to abstain from voting because I can't make up my mind on the topic. I think that I personally believe that it certain circumstances the death sentence is warranted, but then there ...

Seems to me that all religions had to at least start as cults... So maybe the main difference is public acceptance?? Of course, that's highly subjective, so it may not be too useful. I think the majority of people would agree that Christianity is not a cult and the group lead by David Koresh (sp?) w...

I had that attitude through high school and the first year and a half of college. Then I pretty much stopped going to college for about a year or so.

You'd better take lots of pictures! ;) And I don't think it's as attainable as you think, because I'm married now and my wife doesn't really like the idea of hostels (which I don't understand). So I fully believe that I will get to Europe one day, I don't believe that it will be the trip that I'd do...

Thanks, both of you for your suggestions. I've heard Card is a versatile writer, which is precisely why I asked the question! Ultimately, I'm sure I'll get around to reading most of his stuff because I really do like the way he writes. As far as religious prejudices, I really don't care what a book ...

I'm 27, though I'm brand new here... For everyone that's younger than Ender's Game, does it affect how you view the books knowing that at least one of them was written before you were born? When I was reading Dune, I had to keep reminding myself that it was written 14 years before I was born, becaus...

Star Wars Ep. III handled the young Jedi massacre pretty well: It was brutally shocking, but not gratuitous. You knew what was about to happen, and what eventually did happen, but your mind did all the work. So for Ender, they could show a look in Ender's eyes or something, then show a punch or kick...

Another "What next?" thread
I'm 80 pages away from being done with SotG and I'm looking for where to go next. I've got the fourth Halo book and a friend loaned me Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy, so I've got some material ready to go. The problem is that I've been tearing through books lately, and I fear that those four book...
