In other words, what's theologically wrong with the position of Karaite Jews, who believe written Torah alone can be G-d's word?

to school for? I would have a six-year maximum. After that, no matter what degree I'd end up with, I think it's time to move on. One can't spend their entire life as a student, you know. Money has to be made!!

...would shock you the most? Rip Van Winkle napped through the American Revolution, but quite frankly, I don't think life changed *that* much back then in 20 years. Personally, I'd be most stunned by the proliferation of computers and Internet technology. Though life without cordless phones IS...

...take half your money and leave? Seriously! Afghan wives in unhappy marriages, where they often face abuse and have NO freedom, burn themselves to death: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/08/world/asia/08burn.html?ref=world Here, if you don't have a Lexus with a bow on it by 10 AM on her...

were going to win the Cold War? Since the US lost the Vietnam War and Communism was spreading around the globe, people were cynical of politics after Watergate, and the US economy was in a rut, did people think way back then that the Soviets were going to be the world's big hegemon? I know that...

worked hard his life for? So my dad's this insurance company manager and a real estate agent, and he owns (for lease) about 8 houses. So he's financially quite well-off. And yesterday, he was positively stoked because he bought these two homes yesterday, but he's not really happy that I don't...

life around? I saw this video on YouTube by Michael Moore, and he was talking about how the prison system in Norway's pretty lenient, and it's about giving people skills to re-enter the workforce once they finish their sentence. Should U.S. prisons have programs for inmates to learn marketable...

if I paid for it myself? Seriously, she's known for ages that IDGAF about religion, and she isn't too happy when I'm eating it at Taco Cabana. But why waste good food, ya know? It's not like I'm shoving it down HER throat, sheesh! What is it with Muslims trying to change everyone to be like...

...in a plane crash? I remember it! Think it was either 97 or 98, and it was after Diana died. It was all over the news. I think he looked a LOT like his dad

For instance, I'd tend to avoid women who are MDs or have Doctorates. Women like that usually put on airs because of their education and think that you're supposed to grovel at their feet because they have an "advanced degree". Plus, it's just unromantic when they're out at work ALL the time...

...the pre-Civil Rights Era? Since they lived in such poverty, racist discrimination, and no hope for real socioeconomic mobility, why didn't any of them want to start a new life in a different land?

...at the same time? Or if you're a free spirit, will you always think of that human love as just an impermanent being that you ran across by chance, must enjoy for as long as you like, and then move on? In other words, does loving another human being always entailing giving up some of your...

Instead of making 150-200k a year, shouldn't the government reduce their salary to 10-15k a year? That way, we can save money more efficiently rather than being spent on fueling an increasingly bankrupt system of Medicare and Medicaid.

I've seen parrots say words in English and Russian. Are there any human languages which parrots have been shown to be unable to replicate human sounds?

Philippine Army would rescue him? Seriously, there's a law in the Philippines that says if Pacquiao or his family were ever in danger, the Philippine Army is legally obligated to rescuing them. How cool is that?
