Note: this thread was created by Caduceus Mercurius, because the Islam thread was going way off topic. It starts with Pariah's reaction to a post by Ahuayenjxs. Caduceus ...where to start with charley's post... Whats wrong with preventative medicine? I know there are ethical issues that need...

http://www.hrweb.org/legal/undocs.html What are your thoughts on this, concerning its contents? Is it all perfect? flawed but a good start? flawed and should be redone? Should be condemned to the flames? Why? Is the UN an evil conspiracy? If so, what evidence is there for this?

Some of you may remember me asking late last year about what subject to do an assignment on. I thought I'd post it up here for anyone that's interested. After my suggestion of Ibogaine being turned down for being "to controversial" I opted for Henbane instead, its not particularly in depth...

It may be a bit presumptious to think anyone gives a damn, but here it is anyway: Pariah's whistle-stop tour of logic and reason! Heres a good place to learn symbolic logic (you'll be glad that I'm not using it in this post): http://philosophy.lander.edu/logic/symbolic.html I'll mostly be...

Hi all, Just hoping for some advice from as many as I can get it from - I have a University friend that is interested in trying psychedelics, she seems to be interested in the philosophical / spiritual potential (I usually only get requests from people wanting to get high). *But* I've just...

Just saying hi all, really liking the site: lots of interesting info + seems to be troll free.
