| The big dispute comes down to the idea of human influenced global warming. Pretty much everyone will admit that the climate changes, it's done so since the beginning of the planet, but how much is human activity impacting it? I'd say not much as Mars is experiencing the same measure of warming that ... |

| Capitalism is just an economic system wherein the means of production are not owned by the workers. It is neither evil nor good, but only a means of making value-added profit for those who DO own the means of production -- the Capitalists. So basically, if you want the capitalists to solve the wor... |

| For me, it seems like I'm committing a personal violation of some sort. I wouldn't walk up to a woman and grab her breast, but looking her in the eye kind of feels the same. |

| Why do people act like it would be so bad if Trump wins? Under Trump, the economy was strong, the world was a lot more peaceful and our border was way more secure. Why would anyone be afraid of going back to that? |

It would definitely be a poor substitute, but for some people, it could very much be better than nothing. |

Why wouldn't they want to try to go back to that? Back up your claims with evidence. Do you have any statistics or figures that s... |

| Abrahamic religion is very phallocentric. I’m bored with penises. Worshiping Mary would be a pleasant change. . Exactly. Mary worship maybe heresy, or at least flirting with heresy. But the fault is not with the RCC, but with a flaw in Christianity itself (and Islam and Judaism as well). Humans (bo... |

I didn't think about eating out. I do do that on my own quite a bit. I guess I just considered that along the lines of running an errand.  It's not that I'm afraid to go out by myself, or don't like it, it's just that I usually can't think of anything I want to go do (other than eat out) by myself. |

| Overall, it's just social isolation. Without any friends, I can't think of anything to go do by myself so I pretty much don't leave my house anymore except to run errands or something. |
