Is there ever a time when revenge is justified? 1 answer

It depends on the kind of revenge, really.

On a prank level, of course it is justified. But at prank level, you're talking about fairly innocent things. As you move down the scale from pranks to something involving kerosene and cadaver dogs, it does get less justifiable. You have to know... read more

What are some good marriage proposal ideas? 11 answers

My viewpoint is that when you are planning to ask someone to spend the rest of their life with you, you need to make it as memorable as possible. Now, being the joker that I am, if I could do it all over again, I would do this.

Arrange the most disfunctional day imaginable. I'll explain... read more

What do you think about Senator Max Baucus nominating his own girlfriend for US Attorney? 1 answer

To be fair, I don't know anything about Ms. Hanes' qualifications, and I couldn't find much in a casual search. I did find that she was one of three people nominated, and she voluntarily excused herself from consideration.

As for Mr. Baucus... Ethical or not (and I'm leaning toward no... read more

Does crying after losing a big game make you respect Tim Tebow more or less? 6 answers

I think it's acceptable for a man to cry publicly during a time of great emotion, and losing the biggest football game of your life would certainly qualify, I think. I have no problem with the guy getting a little choked up...I mean, it's got to be a really emotional experience, and this whole stan... read more

Travel

Should fat people have to buy two seats on an airplane? 15 answers

Absolutely. It may not be the person's fault, but who should pay the cost of the extra seat? It sounds good to say "the airline," but the airline will pass the expense of not carrying an extra passenger on to the other passengers.

We all have reasons that we are forced to live different... read more

Do *you* think Amanda Knox is guilty? 7 answers

This is really a tough call. I'm having problems believing she is guilty because I'm not sure she was given a fair trial. I also don't know much about the Italian justice system, so I don't know how fair it is in general.

But besides that, some of the facts that have been reported are... read more

Is Groupon the best coupon site on the web? What do you think about the site? 4 answers

I doubt there is any one "best site" for coupons as running such a site may well open up the site owners to liabilities. As Cheapgamer pointed out his area has no listing, while mine does. There are other issues as well, Retailmenot for example may state that they have been requested not to list cou... read more

Do you believe in a afterlife / higher power ? 5 answers

There is no hell. There is "heaven," or what we now call "the other side" and then there is a holding tank "pergatory." All those who, by Christian beliefs, should be going to "hell" actually get sent back in utero, into another life to learn some more.

As for an afterlife, yes, I do... read more
