Please explain to me why this is a good thing?

If people are selfless then they won't live. Make the most out of your life - you only get one chance.

No, and no.

Is that the level of debating skill that won you the school prize? Must have been entertaining to listen to. "Why is the sky blue?" "It isn't."

Well, for a start, I was given the theme a month in advance. Then I actually wrote a speech in more than one minute.

Just because his voice has broken doesn't mean he's gay.
No, but him being gay does mean he is gay.

He's not tho.

I'm quite surprised that Karen hasn't interjected in this discussion after her last question here . So, if someone starts a thread about mormons, you'll expect me to contribute on the basis that I once had a question about the founder of the mormon church in a quiz?? Bizarre! Yes, I do. P.S. I had ...

Considering that you just make up your answers to appear as "right wing" as possible, I think you're actually doing quite a bad job. I don't. That's my views. Why do you keep redoing it to see if you can beat your score then? No, it's because that the link changes with each result. The sc...

I like the Pirelli comment because of the fact that I got up at 2am to watch F1 this morning, combined with the fact that my physics teacher made us watch that program on BBC4 last night (Shock & Awe) then I had to clean out the kitchen as well, due to the fact that we're having a new floor in. ...

What's the situation re Tuesdays?

Rhys Benjamin

Children debating without researching. Sigh. We should aspire to share the views of great political leaders. Not when they screw up the lives of millions of people. Do you aspire to be like Hitler or Stalin? Exactly. To use your reasoning from further down your post, there's a reason why so many pe...

No, I'm against rehabilitation. It's too soft in my opinion. I'd probably send them to prison for a very short time and do community service which is compulsory. I recommend that you read something about the relative outcomes of prisoners in differing regimes of investment in rehab. Whether you inv...

-5.12, -4.15. I'm so glad I managed to break the family tradition of being rabidly Conservative. Children who illegally smoke/do drugs should be heavily punished. Why and how?

Perhaps Rhys could post his answers to the questions with detailed explanations for each one. I'll just touch upon a couple: I'm in favour of the death penalty as a better incentive for people not to commit murder. Same goes for an eye for an eye.

Economic Left/Right: 4.38 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: 3.69 I always find this combination particularly baffling.

Speaking of goodies, is the trophy the same as last year's, with the obvious exception of 2011 replacing 2010 :?: Probably (got to think about my brand synergy), although I haven't been to the trophy shop yet so they might not still have it, or might have something better.
