Couple of days ago Russia has sent an underwater submarine expedition to claim the waters below the North pole as a natural extension of its territory. Now, every country that has its share in the Arctic is starting their own expeditions, to support their own claims on that piece of earth becouse it contains large quantities of oil and especially gas.

That is really one of the last pieces of the globe that isn't being contested , including Antartica and entire Earth's submarine surface aswell.
Now, could we expect the same situation in the future when people start colonising planets around us. Maybe Moon and definetly Mars for the start. True, it will last decades if not over sa century but it will happen eventually. What do you think, will that trigger new neo - colonial " imperialistic" race among nations, parceling out every piece of the land they can grab their hands on.

Someone on here keeps talking about keeping dogs in captivity. How does everyone feel about this? How would your dog do in the wild?

My dog could probably catch his own food, but might easily get hit by cars if he was anywhere developed as he has a one track-mind- squirrels! bunnies! He also is a bit of a wimp and gets dominated by every dog in the dog park. This could mean death in the wild.

I believe the dog is now a domesticated animal and most could not survive in the wild. Anyone else's opinions? I would particulary like scubapair's opinion and an explanation of why he feels that way.

(This is also posted in the "Polls" section)

In the near future, all babies must receive genetic tests to screen for terminal diseases/conditions such as Anencephaly, Alzheimer’s, or Cancer. Additionally, parents can find out their baby's eye color, gender, sexual orientation, and mental disposition. This test can also predict, with 90% accuracy, whether the child will be obese.

You are the soon-to-be-parent of a baby girl and find out that she has no terminal genetic markers, will have brown hair and green eyes, will be heterosexual, and will be generally healthy, however, she has the highest marker for obesity and the doctors predict she will inevitably be a "fat" child and an "obese" adult, regardless of diet and exercise. Knowing this, and all the additional ramifications of obesity (prejudice, heart disease, diabetes), do you choose:

1. to have the baby
2. to abort
3. to alter her genetic make up

What is your choice & why?

PLEASE BE HONEST, SPECIFC, & RESPECTFUL!

I have had this interest in scat for as long as I can remember. When I was a child I was very interested in poop. When I was 12 or 13 the interest grew to an obsession. Now I'm completely into scat sex, but I know it's not healthy. I don't know whether to talk to my psycholigist about this because it's too gross and embarasing. I know everything is confidential but I'm still scared to even mention it. I know I need help so please don't call me rude names and tell me I need help. I need an answer from someone who knows what they're talking about. My question is, "Why do I have this coprophilia?"

I'm getting my dog this Tuesday and I don't have a name. She is white with a black spot on her back and black covering her ears and the sides of her face. She looks like a panda. Any good names?

I got into a fight with my husband who ran out completely wasted. He left in his truck. I warned him not to drive and that I would call the police so he didn't kill himself or others. I have a baby to worry about and could not live with myself if he killed a child. I called the police. They got him for a DUI. I later bailed him out and am completely okay with us having to pay the fines and live without him having a license for a year. He said he forgives me, but I can't help but wonder if I made a mistake??????

Awhile back I was washing my dishes and noticed how strong the stains are in a teacup and hard to remove. I thought about it and started wondering if tea can stain a cup this badly, what is it doing to my insides when I drink it? I found myself not drinking much tea from that day forward. However; I am also aware of many different tea’s that are good for you and do miss having them in my diet. Any thoughts on this?

A new golfer, intent on improving his game was taking some rather expensive lessons from the club pro.

While practicing his drives, he ricocheted a few off some golf carts, trees and passersby. On one of his efforts, he imparted a horrendous hook into the ball which carried over the perimeter fence, bounced on the freeway, went in through the open window of a passing bus and knocked out the driver. The bus went out of control, headed down through a drainage ditch, up into a gas station, sheared off three gas pumps an erupted into a huge ball of fire. The poor golfer was horrified!

MY GOD, did you see what I just did?

"Yep, said the pro, you dropped your right shoulder and took your eye off the ball".
