Kifle, after Edwards horrible showing in NV, he should be just about out of money. If he hopes to have a political career after this, he should drop out of the race like Richards did. Losing a state he should win would be the end of his career. I think a majority of the Edwards folks would go to Oba...

The healthcare discussion really belongs in the healthcare thread. Just to throw in my 2 cents, while I disagree with most of Obama's politics, he seems like a genuine person to me. He came from a tough background to make something of himself. For him, those struggles have forged him into a strong p...

Ok, I'm boggled. Hillary and Bill have a wreck of a marriage. He cheats on his wife, and she stays with him because of politics. If she got a divorce, there would be no way in hell we would care about her. How does not say something about her character? Hillary can not get things done because she is...

I don't know. Guiliani only has defense and security. His private life is a wreck. Romney, who is my choice, suffers from his own religion. I've never seen such a passionless campaigner than Thompson. McCain is on the wrong side of immigration. This is why Huckabee is finding support. The trouble is...

Looking into the polls for Iowa, Obama is the second choice for more folks than Hillary. Obama should take Iowa, assuming he doesn't screw up. This will setup New Hamphire and South Carolina as the real tests. Obama should go to Edwards and offer him Attorney General if he will really concentrate on...

You argue that Man is neither Good or Evil. I am arguing that Man is both. We have both of those within us which come out in the choices we make. I believe we have evolved needing to create definitions of Good and Evil. Think about it, just about every ancient society had some form of religion. Amer...

Kifle, what I think you are missing is that people choose to do wrong or evil knowingly. That is why they feel guilt and shame over their actions. It is our way of knowing within ourselves that we did something wrong. Now, choosing to do wrong at times does not make you a bad person. Life gives us l...

Let's use Sarvis' example of rape not being evil since he said it. A vast majority would define it as evil. Yes, it is subjective based on people's beliefs, but that doesn't change the fact that people believe it is evil. In what way would rape not be evil? Personally, I believe that to argue that r...

Flee and Casting
While interesting that you can flee while casting, can we make it so that you stop casting? Currently, you can be casting, get forced to flee and then agro the room that you flee into.

Jeez, Sarvis, this is like beating up an invalid. Shares or stock of a company are not a loan, they represent ownership. Every owner participates in the profits of that entity. In addition, you act as if it is someones responsiblity to give you money. Feh to that. The way any investment works fundam...

Actually, I think you are misreading things Sarvis. Yes, the flow of money helps to make its distribution less concentrated, but the big question is the source of the money flows. In economics, velocity of money, the amount of movement of a single dollar, is one of the most important factors in the ...
