Eh, this is kind of a broad topic I suppose, but one thing in particular got me thinking about this. That would be the large hadron collider that is currently being developed beneath Switzerland. Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_hadron_collider For those who are too...

Okay, a warning: this subject can be a bit graphic, so if you are easily disturbed (I'm betting most of you are not), don't read. How does everyone here feel about female genital mutilation (FGM)? I'm not talking about genital piercings, of course, but the practice that is carried out on...

I think it's safe to say we've all done it and experienced it. And usually it involves friends. Why do you think this sort of thing happens? What drives people to do this to friends? Personally I believe that it's a relatively childish thing to do, and those who do it have low self-esteem...

So, I think this is sort of an interesting, debatable topic. Do you think those who commit hate crimes should be given a heavier sentence? For instance, if a man kills another man because he is black/Jewish/whatever, should be be given a longer sentence than a man who killed a man in a crime of...

...does this ad scare everyone else? Bitch looks like the guy from No Country For Old Men. I half expect her to pull out a cattle prod.

ALL OF YOU ARE AWEOMSZ :D WOOOOO! GO FINAL FANTASY FORUM! XD srlsyl.

Um...a day early? What? In Japan, it's March 27th. That counts! Plus, I wanted to be the one to make this thread. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESS! XD I LUFF YOUUUU! Have a great 21st birthday ;D

Okay, I'm a total art nerd, so I care about this stuff. I'm not sure many other people do, but if so, reply to this topic! There was an article in Time Magazine this week discussing this topic, and it's something that I think is rather important. There are a lot of precious works of art...

Gun Control Okay, I cannot BELIEVE this one has not been started yet. I shall do the right thing and start it. As we all know, the United States is a very gun-happy society. This is reflected in the hideous rash of shootings we've just experienced, the last of which left five students dead at...

Kefka is just pure win. It's really that simple.

I like drawing quite a bit. It's a hobby of mine :D! I was going to minor in art until I realized that I'd end up living in a cardboard box....which would honestly be fine, but it gets really cold here... Pencil Drawings http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii271/erythritol/eyebrush.jpg...

I figure since it involves God, this is the right section to post in. If not, feel free to move it :P My friend was asked to debate this question, and I thought it was really interesting: Situation: You find, in a box somewhere, definitive proof that God does not exist. Do you destroy the...

Here are some random graphics I've done, from layouts to livejournal icon things. I'm more about the layouts: http://www.midnight-star.net/old/layout9archive.JPG http://www.midnight-star.net/old/layout10archive.jpg http://www.midnight-star.net/old/layout5archive.JPG...

Okay, this is a subject about which I feel -very- strongly. I bet most people don't really care, but I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinions. What does everyone think about universal health care? As you may know, the United States currently does not have universal health care; Europe...

Yes, I know it's a little run-on sentence-y. It's meant to be. The assignment was to write a story that was like "Heart of Darkness." Joseph Conrad was the master of run-on sentences. Anyway, this is the first paragraph. I'm kind of fond of it :P The rest of the story I want to edit a bit to...

Holy effing god, who else is excited about this movie? Sure, it's coming out July 18th of next year....but still! At first I was sort of worried when Nolan cast Heath Ledger as the Joker. But after seeing the teaser trailer and some of the new photos that were recently released...it's pretty...

This is something that seems to be a touchy subject for some people: the use of the world "gay" and "retarded" as adjectives for something negative. Do you find it offensive when people use "gay" or "retarded" in a negative way? I personally don't. I never thought it was that offensive until...

Sooo, just out of curiosity....who do you personally think is a very overrated author? Why? What was the most overrated book you've ever read? I know mine! Ernest Hemingway! His writing is so simple and childish. His books consist of people drinking, fighting, and screwing. That's it. Also...

I was just talking about racism in a class of mine, and I really had to hold my tongue, because I think I was one of the only people (if not THE only person) in the class who was of a different opinion from the majority. (I really didn't want to come across as a racist or make a bunch of enemies...
