    The Cube

    So, I figured this was a little beyond the scope of the friendly yet mindless forum games, and didn't exactly belong in Off-Topic, so I thought I'd put it here! So, this is a party game I was introduced to long ago, and it's known as... The Cube Imagine you are in a desert. Take some time to...

    The Organ Market and Medical Tourism

    So, I had a fun heated debate today in class and I thought I'd share the fun with you guys! :tongue: Imagine a scenario as follows: Bob is a 32 year old newlywed, recently diagnosed with liver cancer. He needs a liver transplant. The wait list by UNOS (http://www.unos.org/) has him on a 6-9...

    Tea Party - What?

    Ok, so I'll admit I'm not the foremost in up-to-dateness with current news and politics but I've heard something about the new Tea Party. What is it? Anyone know what the deal is with these people? As far as I've gotten, I've managed to dig this up: http://teapartypatriots.ning.com/ From what...

    Is it just me, or are there suddenly a lot of golf threads?

    I don't much like golf, to be honest. Nothing against golf but, I just don't have interest in it. I'm not really sure what compelled me to make this thread, except to comment that there's suddenly a lot of golf threads. Is there a trend that I missed somewhere?

    The Uber Serious Thread About Mondo Important Stuff

    Ok so some history for those who are recently joining us: http://forums.x10hosting.com/off-topic/111132-allow-me-introduce-myself-my-name-mud.html John Klyne absolutely insisted on hijacking my thread with Heady Things so I thought, if I'm going to make a drawn out philosophical discussion...

    Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mud

    And of course you know, Mud spelled backwards is...??? So yesterday I'm informed that class is cancelled. I'm quite happy about it, yaaay. So today I woke up, got dressed, got on the bus, went to school, got my coffee, walked to class, and upon arriving at a locked door with the lights quite...

    Education - What Needs to Be Done?

    Ok so I thought I'd start another thread (the last one sure clunked) about education. It has been suggested that the educational system is imperfect, to say the very very least, and that considerable amounts of reform are necessary to ensure quality education for our citizens (feel free to jump...

    Reproductive Ethics

    So I thought I'd try my hand at making another juicy thread that gets people all riled up. It would seem that a lot of thought and debate is put into reproductive ethics. Everything from abortion, to contraception, to masturbation, to gay rights, to eugenics... Anyone have any idea why this...

    Geeks Make the Best Lovers?

    So I found a link that I found was suitably amusing: http://www.gk2gk.com/topten/waystotell.asp Oh my. I'm curious what the crowd here at x10 would think about this. Are Geeks the best lovers? How about artistes? What about the quiet, stable sorts that have normal (cough boring) little...

    Life is sacred?

    So I've seen this argument pop up before, in many different debates, and it's common enough that it merits discussion of its worth in it's own right. Is life sacred? Discuss. (Intentionally left very open-ended to facilitate free flow of thoughts.)

    The Ultimate Showdown

    Alrighty. So assume we had a universe in which all the different sci-fi powers could get thrown into to duke it out as they see fit. Who would team up with who? Who would win? How would it go down? Representing: The Stargate Series The Orici (Adria), The Ancients, The Goa'uld, The...

    Policy regarding reviving old topics

    So I'm a relative noob to this particular forum, and I love the idea of Crossfire, and the fun little debates that everyone engages in (well, everyone who actively participates, that is!) And well, as it is with noobs, I find it very tempting to read through all the old threads to see what kind...

    Howdy
