poppoppop111 @poppoppop111 (5731) • Canada 15 Jan 09

cuts in arts have been happening all over where i live. do you think the goverment should cut funding to these programs? i don't, i work in the arts/heritage program and i see how good they are for people, especially children. in...

arrgophil Government should spend money responsibly. That does not mean that funding for the arts should be cut. Any government that fails to support its rich artistic culture contributes to its demise. Art is as important to our society as is science or agriculture.

arrgophil That's part of the problem. Many people don't take torture seriously. They demean the idea that torture carries inherent problems with reliability. Almost every experienced person concedes that information gathered using torture will be...

Can you be too fat to adopt?

BubblyIan @BubblyIan (750) 12 Jan 09

This man has been rejected as a potential adopter as his body mass index is too high! Whilst single mothers and lesbians are allowed to adopt, a heterosexual couple with a 'fat' man cannot! Is this...

arrgophil This council makes it clear that its concern is for the "long term" care of the child. When concidering the child's best interest, it seems reasonable to want potentially adoptive parents to be in good health. While being in generally good health is no...

What is your alltime favorite Family Guy episode?

Icarus2012 @Icarus2012 (8) • United States 23 Sep 08

I know that my favorite Family Guy episode ever is when Peter creates his own country, Petoria. That episode is so funny, and, arguably the best. I would like to hear your opinions and favorite episodes.

arrgophil My favorite by far is the Star Wars episode. I love the self-awareness of it all. At the end, Chris and Peter discuss the "episode" in context with Robot chicken, which is also terrific.

arrgophil One should always try to retain medical records if possible. You are correct when you say that collecting them can be difficult when asked about your history or when you have visited several Drs. in different places. I think the same is true when you have had...

should a woman tolerate everything to save her relationship?

mansig @mansig (67) 1 Aug 08

I have often listened people saying that a woman can break the home and only she can break the home.And women should tolerate every thing to save their home. What do you think about this?Please share your views.......

arrgophil Absolutely not. Some people will take unfair advantage of another's capacity to tolerate the actions of a significant other. However, I believe that many women are too quick to throw in the towel when a man makes a mistake. Some things should never be...
