soren1 I'm opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances. It brutalises society, sets a terrible example to the young by legitimising violence as a form of vengeance, and there isn't a shred of evidence that it provides a deterrent effect. It also makes a mockery...

soren1 Twitter is a much more 'promiscuous' social networking site than many others, in the sense that you can essentially follow who you like (it's possible to make your updates private but only a minority of people do). Other than that sheer simplicity is its USP....

soren1 From what I can gather, getting a large number of referrals is only half the battle in any case - a lot of referrals turn out to be not particularly active. But to answer your question directly, I haven't asked any of my friends to join, because I always...

I've taken some flak in the past for using The Daily Show as a source (YES, I DO know it's fake news!) but on last night's show I saw one of the most respectful, intelligent and sensitive debates on the subject of abortion I have...

soren1 I happened to see it even though I live in Britain, and I thought it was quite an awkward exchange - a kind of transparently 'forced' sense of respect for each other's position that neither really felt. The problem with the abortion issue is that neither side...

Did anyone watch yesterday's Eurovision? If yes, What was your favourite song? Do you like the winning song? and most importantly, what do you think about Eurovision in general?

soren1 Iceland was my favourite song, but I voted for Portugal and Estonia. I think there are too many entries sung in English these days, so I have a personal rule that I only vote for songs entirely in another language. To answer your other question, I love...

I would love to hear the opinions of woman and men... First, I would like to begin by saying that I remain unbiased about the topic of abortion. I personally would never have an abortion but I would hold my best-friend's hand...

soren1 I think both legally and morally the final decision can only ever be made by one person, and that can only be the woman. However, I do think there's a double standard concerning issues of parental responsibility. Recently I was reading a problem page, where a...

soren1 It's one of those questions to which there isn't a right or wrong answer. Nobody should be pressured into doing what they don't want to do, but equally there are lots of genuine exhibitionists out there who get a thrill from nude photos of themselves being...

I noticed several pro-abortion images in the Politics section. It always makes me a little angry to think of the millions of lives lost every year to this form of murder. The arguments are always the same on the pro-abortion side...

soren1 I suppose the difficulty for anyone who believes that life begins at conception is that the principle applies every bit as much to a conception brought about by rape. I know that sounds incredibly brutal (it implies that a rape victim must be forced to suffer...

soren1 I'm sorely tempted to point out that it's a pity the US hasn't shown as much respect for the "law on other people's soil" over the years, but that would be very cheap. Seriously, though, every country in the world (with the possible exception of North Korea!)...

soren1 I was born when my mother was almost 43 so I find it hard to take it seriously when people talk about the mere mid-thirties as being too old. If nature hadn't intended 36-year-old women to get pregnant, nature wouldn't have made it possible in the first...

soren1 In my view life is sacred, so I don't need to look beyond that principle - the state has no moral right to take a life, regardless of circumstance. But even leaving that aside, the death penalty simply doesn't work as a deterrent. Does anybody seriously think...
