I'd have to disagree with that. The Bible (as I understand it) states that God made man the caretaker of all animals, and also of the Earth at large. Yes, it is true that there is also the view that animals are meant to serve man... but not in the way that its ok to have chicken fights because &quo...

The connection with religion, and especially the christian religion is simple. Most people's moral values can be traced in some way back to the bible. Even our laws are based on that book. In the bible the general consensus towards animals is that they're here for us, to serve us, and for us to use....

Religion is responsible for making people think that they're somehow special and purposeful, when in reality we're a lucky type of ape that happened to evolved a big brain. Which reminds me, Neanderthals had a slightly bigger brain that ours. I'm not saying join PETA or anything like that, but would...

Sad to see some of you think it's funny or cool to kill animals. Chuck it up to one of the many stupid things religion teaches.

So what some of you want is a bloodsport. You guys do realize F1 used to a very violent sport don't you? Like guys burning alive while trapped in their cars violent. Sorry, but I'm glad F1 is as safe as it is today. We don't need another Imola. As far as the current status of F1 goes, it's not perfe...

Self defense, yeah I would pull the trigger or rip his/her head off. Whatever gets the job done. If someone breaks into your house at night and tries to rape your sister or something, wouldn't you do the same? There's some real creeps out there, that wouldn't even think twice about killing you for n...

I'm an atheists, but I second the psychiatrist suggestion. You can't expect or hope things get better. You gotta take action if you something is so terribly wrong in your life. It's like the people who have crappy jobs and are always bitching. If you hate your job so much, take action so you can hav...

Sorry, but no pro-nascar argument is gonna convince me that nascar has more skillful or equally skillful drivers than F1. There's a reason why F1 is the most expensive motor sport in the world. Once you made it to F1 anything else is a step down, and yes easier than F1. F1 cars, as far as I know, ar...

IMO... Passing in F1 takes more skill than passing in nascar. Driving by yourself in an F1 circuit takes more skill than driving around an oval. Driving in F1 with all the cars bunched up take way more skill than to do the same in nascar. If you've ever seen a F1 start you'll know what I'm talking a...

Let's say it's a rainy day, and you take a corner in Neutral too fast. You're car could actually start to oversteer very badly. Doesn't matter if it's FWD, RWD, or AWD. When you're in Neutral, you're car essentially becomes a NWD. If you had taken that corner in gear, you would've had a chance to co...

You can't go from 5th to R without first putting the shifter in middle N position.
