How can you say that your truth is better than ours?

ShardAerliss @ShardAerliss (1488) 25 Apr 12

That's a line from a song by Mumford & Sons (they're not really his sons) called "I Gave You All". Like most of their lyrics it really resonates with me. What do you think Mumford and Sons meant by this and do you agree with...

starsailover Hi Shard Aerliss: For me the meaning is clear, there are so different points of vies on the same fact, so many truths that you should not assume that what you think about a subject it's the only valid point of view. In fact, as we are open to listen the...

RawBill AKA MrAusAdventure I know Mumford & Sons but I am not familiar with that song. My immediate thoughts about the line were towards religious views. Many religions believe in different versions of god and those followers of religions put down others beliefs because they are not in...

positiveminded1977 Hi Shard! I am with you when you say that instead of going in for IVF, people could just adopt one of the millions of orphans and give him/her a home. But "savior sibling" is a different matter. Here, a child is being created to save the life of another. Of...

sirnose Yes finally, justice is starting to trickle down into the Trayvon/Zimmerman saga. I think that this story is a very tragic incident and the media has done this story a disservice. The media has tried this case in the arena of public opinion which is not good...

Criminality and Mental Disorders

ShardAerliss @ShardAerliss (1488) 25 Mar 12

I've thoughgt about this for a while, the whole "not of sound mind" defence. How can we say that someone was "not of sound mind" and send them to be rehabilitated while others are simply evil and need punishing? Surely the very...

megamatt Yes it is rather tough to determine. Especially when I'm sure that many people have figured out that not being in sound mind is a defense that does tend to work a lot of the time. Especially if the people who do so, are stone cold sane, but they do the things...

heaven_sent64 Success is not measured by how much money you have in the bank nor how many countries you've traveled to. Success is measured by what others have become because of you.
