| 51 | I trust medical science more than I trust individual doctors. There are unscrupulous people in all professions. | Do you trust doctors? |
| 52 | The poster part of the ad campaign (in case anyone hasn't seen it yet)
| Do you find this ad offensive? |
| 53 | What would be the point? What could a Survey Central podcast consist of other than:
a) Someone reading aloud comments from surveys. or b) Someone providing their commentary on the comments from surveys. If a) then I'll pass since I'm more than capable of reading the comments myself. If b) I'll pass again, since Survey Central is a community and therefore larger than one person's perception. | Would you listen to a Survey Central podcast? |
| 54 | I would say that the 'Birthers' are very much fueled by racism.
But the opposition to Obama's policies is 20% racism, 80% good old-fashioned 'muriken fear of socialism and government deciding whether you live or die. | To what degree do you think resistance to US President Obama's policies are fueled by racism? |
| 55 | It's better to vote with your wallet and get what you pay for, than vote with your ballot and be on the losing side.
As much as LJD is wrong by saying there's no racism, you're wrong by saying that it's mostly racist. For every moran with a "Where's the birth certificate?" sign there are people with signs saying "Waterboard Pelosi" and "Bury Obamacare with Kennedy". There are signs comparing Obama to Stalin, Hitler and Castro and signs comparing Pelosi to Hitler. Clearly, there is a minority of people who think he should fudge off back to Kenya where he 'came from'. But equally clearly there is a majority of people protesting at these events that don't like him simply because he's a Democrat in power and is perceived to be more liberal than Clinton. | To what degree do you think resistance to US President Obama's policies are fueled by racism? |
| 56 | We don't need any. All our Christmas decorations are in a box on top of my crap wardrobe. | Have you bought any Christmas decorations yet? |
| 57 | > Well, yeah, but then again, I once split an ant in two, and both pieces were still moving (and arguably breathing). Would you argue that the ant was still alive?
Given that ants are insects, there are a number of reasons why cutting them in half wouldn't stop them from moving.. Firstly, ants don't have lungs or breathe through their mouth. Ants have spiracles along the length of their exoskeleton. These supply oxygen directly into their bodies - so it wouldn't suffocate. Secondly, because of its size and the fact that its circulatory system is not required to carry oxygen around its body, an ant has very low blood pressure. Cut it in half and it wouldn't bleed to death. Thirdly, ants have a decentralised nervous system. This means that some functions are delegated to nerve clusters outside the brain. Cut an ant in half and the bottom will not only keep moving, but respond to external stimulus (e.g. change direction if it bumps into something). Human beings have none of these features. The only parallel between Terri Schiavo and your ant, is that they both died of dehydration/starvation. | Do you think police went too far when they arrested a boy trying to give Terri Shavo Water? |
| 58 | I would never sacrifice anything for fashion, except babies. | Do we run the risk of sacrificing comfort for fashion? |
| 59 | "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months"
Oscar Wilde | Is it really that much of a faux pas to pair a Prada handbag with Ferragamo sling backs? |
| 60 | "As far as I can tell, fashion is nothing more than a handy visual system that gives people with no personality some palpable criteria to judge each other by. Anyone who regularly contemplates clothing for more than five minutes a week is wasting their life as surely as the most lethargic, do-nothing heroin addict imaginable."
