    A comment on Conversation: Marriage is ....... ?

    Mar 22 2013: A waste of money and time. A show that's an imposition on and expense for those who have been invited. A cliche from films and fairy tales that a ceremony and a piece of paper will lead to happy ever after.

    If you find someone you love, whatever sex, love them, live with them, be faithful and enjoy a happy life together. That's all you need.

    Mar 19 2013: Belief in God and Science are not mutually exclusive, nor the same thing.
    Religion is a belief in a religious being, science is the search for proof to events or beliefs. Science could possibly find evidence for the existance of God, but I am certain that it can't prove a religion. Religion is largely a question of honoring traditions. You can't quantify that. You can't 'prove' that.
    I deny that science and relgion are mutually exclusive on the basis that they serve different purposes. One seeks to understand the external universe, and one speaks more to the internal one.

  • A reply on Conversation: Should a person's racial and/ or aggressive behaviour in his free time be allowed to affect his work?

    Feb 21 2013: Good example, thanks. It's surely about having clear role clarification, but I also feel it's about publicity. If it hadn't been publicly known who he worked for, perhaps the company would have waited to see if he was found guilty...

    Feb 21 2013: I agree, surely they should have waited until he was charged? Perhaps he could argue against the dismissal?

    Feb 21 2013: Here's the link in case anyone's wants to read. I can't decide if it's a fair course of action or not? I am vehemently against rascism, on the other hand would certainly not wish everything I do in my spare time (nothing that outrageous anyway) to be known to my colleagues. Is it just action because the company name was mentioned? Therefore damaging the company image.

    A comment on Conversation: Do YOU dream?

    Feb 19 2013: All the time, but mostly bad or uncomfortable dreams. But I'm not sure this relates to anything that happens while I'm awake...?

    A reply on Conversation: The Dow is steadily improving while the national quality of life is consistently worsening.

    Jan 28 2013: A fine retort Mr. Butt!

  • A reply on Conversation: Is there something inherently masculine about playing an instrument?

    Jan 12 2013: Faisel,
    Perhaps the women you have met are from a certain small section of society? No woman I have met has ever said they have 'dumbed down' in situations with the opposite sex. Then again, my contemporaries have all been to university and have careers, maybe you should broaden your horizons a bit?

    You have just reinforced an outdated stereotype. The idea that men can't be expressive and woman can't be strong is very sexist.
