skipper149 JB78000, you are right. In the modern age, money has become some sort of religion. In fact, much of the so-called religious strife has economic considerations (war is good business for the powers that be).

skipper149 I believe a world without religion will be a far safer, more peaceful one. Any comments/challenges to my statement are welcome. Peace.

All fats, whether solid or liquid, exist in chemical form as triglycerides, which consist of a glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains. Each triglyceride macromolecule’s appearance is similar to the letter E—with the...

skipper149 I don't think spangles said you'll lose weight by building muscle. What happens is muscle is more metabolically active than fat. So if you have more muscle, your metabolism will be higher so you'll burn more energy, and as a result, you will lose more fat.

A PRIMARY school sacked a woman teacher for telling heartbroken nine-year-olds there is no Father Christmas. Parents were furious when tearful youngsters went home saying they had also been taught elves and fairies did not...

skipper149 Frankly I don't see anything wrong with what the teacher did. After all, a teacher's job is to enlighten her charges and rid them of their ignorance, and believing fairy tales to be true is an ignorance which should be gotten rid of at any age. It's...

If you are a member of a religious group your morals, ethics and values are usually derived from the beliefs of your religion. But, if you consider yourself to be non-religious then how do you determine right and wrong, good and...

skipper149 Okay, my $0.02 worth. I believe each one of us is born with the innate ability to distinguish good from evil. We have all been given a conscience which makes it possible for us to rise above all other creatures on earth, and be good or bad as we choose. Being...

skipper149 Forgot to mention, water is a great thing, but coffee (black, no sugar) and green tea actually boost your metabolism and aid in weight loss.

skipper149 I think it is erroneous to say that with a vegetarian diet you can eat all you want and lose weight. You can get fat as easily with an all vegetarian diet. In fact, one of the ways to lose weight is to cut down on carbohydrates, and vegetarian foods are full...

skipper149 I am happy to know this stuff works for you. But you may wish to consider the long term safety of the product. Could you tell me what is the ingredient in it that makes it work? It reminds me of another product from China called slim-10. A local celebrity in...

skipper149 Thank you for the response. I'm sorry to hear about your husband's ordeal and happy to see he's doing ok now. You're right, we do not want to mess with our health, but we need to see if the medication we are taking is causing more harm than good. Exercise,...

skipper149 Butter is healthier. Saturated fat may make you fat, but trans fat promotes cancer. I'd rather be a fat slob and living than be dying of cancer.

Why is it that the people of India hate Americans, or is it just Bush they hate? And what is it that we have done that is so bad? It is true that we are not minding our own business but we were forced to after 9/11. How else do...

skipper149 Truth is, you have not benefitted. As can be seen, the political situation isn't as direct as Bush thought it was going to be in Iraq. The plan, which was to install a (Bush-friendly) "democratically elected" government in Iraq, hasn't quite gone on as...
