So I am a liberal-leaning moderate but I am curious to ask conservatives: Do you think Ron Paul winning the straw poll at CPAC has any meaning and if so what does it mean? I've heard Mitt Romney won it the last 3 years in a row....

ATrain Possibly unless another republican or independent comes out who I like better (which I doubt). I like Ron Paul's ideas on foreign policy and civil liberties for the most part. That would also depend if he supports breaking the monopolies big banks and...

ATrain I don't know what you mean by "the two party thing is an illusion" they seem like completely separate entities. And he tried to get republicans to talk about health care when this whole thing started. I just can't understand how republicans can shoot down...

ATrain That's true he does have a very big vision for this country, but what president hasn't? Besides, he has done a lot less than he could to force his vision down our throats. He has put far less pressure than Nanci Pelosi(Who I hope loses her seat) on...

ATrain I agree blogging (intelligently mind you) and playing games that involve puzzles or strategy could certainly increase your intelligence. It's kind of similar to having a Socratic seminar or playing a strategy game.

ATrain Yea you would be surprised just how many calories you can consume by drinking soda. a can has about 180 calories, for 12 oz. I try to limit myself to 1-2 sodas per day, but it is hard because I am in college now so drink lots of sugary drinks besides soda now....

ATrain I don't think that it was a good idea I was going to the bathroom every 5-10 minutes for a couple of hours, and all that caffeine isn't good for you, especially if you are like me and have trouble sleeping sometimes anyways. So I wouldn't recommend it. It can...

Speaking with friends (named above).... they have interesting views. "What does the world need RIGHT NOW??" I want to compare your thoughts with theirs. "What type of role would you play in making the world - the kind of world...

ATrain I guess if people are just tolerant then they aren't respecting each other, and that may be what we need. As in, like actually acknowledging them as your equal. I think we can do this through making sure everyone is educated and that the world is more peaceful...

there is a recent controversy involving thermometer that contains mercury. it was proposed to be banned because of the danger it can cause to our health if it is broken and the content is inhaled. what do you say?

mercury

thermometer

ATrain Yes I believe mercury in a thermometer is most harmful if it gets into the environment. It is less likely to kill many people by being inhaled directly

ATrain That's kind of what I think, he is a very good candidate. There won't be anyone besides Obama running as a democrat so it would be great if the republicans could present a good candidate like him. I think he should run as an independent if he doesn't get the...

ATrain My sister is like that too. It's completely fine I think, there is worse things for someone to be doing all day than reading. However, if all they do is read they might become near-sighted later.

Government is just a term that describes a group of people, just like a corporation, union, or church. Government just like any other title of group does not exist only the people that form the group exist. So when you hear of...

ATrain Well it should. But, as I mentioned above, the people have the right to change the government if they do not believe that their government is providing these functions.

ATrain Yes, a battery definitely won't last 30 days, it's impossible. And cell phone companies that advertise that your battery will last 2 or 3 days, that is only if you don't text or make calls on it because that uses the battery faster.

ATrain Well said owlwings. Sorry but I am so sick of people throwing out false statements without backing them up. I would have to agree though that 'global warming' or 'climate change' or whatever you want to call seems to be real and man-made. And also, what...

ATrain Cats are definitely strange. My cat used to trip my dad if he didn't feed her fancy feast, but ever since he moved in with his fiance she'll eat anything. I guess if she doesn't his fiance's cat will.
