This is a great link. I live in Wisconsin, but I have brothers who live in NYC and LA (yes i’m the boring one). We are all physicians and therefore clear the numbers here be a wide margin. Despite this, I would never consider living in their cities as I would not be ‘comfortable’ by my standards. For instance, my

You can’t treat sociopaths effectively, they are missing the circuitry to receive the benefit. A team of psychotherapists would simply be wasting their time. Lock her up, and never turn your back on her.

Agree completely. 2D first,then 24 hours later IMAX3D. It only enhanced the experience! I also had to drive 90 minutes, but totally worth it. I did the same for Avatar and TRON.

But maybe they just think they are all not that tough? ;)

Isn’t this the future?

I am committed in the fight against binge Netflix, PS4, reading, and even spontaneous sex....so I had three kids.

Charming is exactly the word!

Cut from the same cloth here, but Swede/Germanic...with maybe some Jewish (? I really need to send my DNA in) guilt “You can do whatever you want with your life, but we know you will not be happy unless you’re a doctor”

Shhhhh, just breathe.

I am stealing that line

You, sir, are my hero for the day!

Breaking a transverse process is akin to breaking a coat hanger off a door, the house remains structurally sound.

Or...maybe your family will be the next mowed down by a demented driver whose caregivers should have taken their keys away years ago. But with your mentality, it will likely be your demented parent that kills someone because you are so kindhearted. Way to go!

Now you're going from eloquent but erroneous...to a bit of an asshole. I don't agree with your well-worded explanations regarding human behavior and morality. There are elements of truth in a good portion of your reasoning, however, I find what you base it all upon to be fundamentally flawed. This flaw keeps your

I disagree.

I honestly appreciate he discussion. I think it is very healthy. I also think that we are approaching the same question with two very different view points, for where you see things in one light, I see them on another. We both feel the other is mistaken on a fundamental level, hence the antiquity of the argument,

well, I don't think he is wrong. Also cursory inspections are sloppy, and what you feel to be airtight counter arguments, I see as missing the point. People CAN make their own moral code....just not THE moral code. I would like to think we are evolving as a society where we can adhere more closely to the true moral

CS Lewis does in fact directly answer this specific question all well as several other anticipated responses to the premise. The poster above simplified his quote, which was arguing for a moral code or a 'law' governing how we ought to act that is more than a herd instinct. Lewis' statements in 'Mere Christianity'

Wow, written like a 5 year old with a concept of God suitable for a child of 3. Airtight baby!
