Thoughts on Sarah's Tea Party Speech | Here's my take:
It was interesting to watch. She was very relaxed and came across well, though she did seem to have trouble following her prepared speech a few times - I think that is probably a plus, actually, with the demographic she aims for.
Often repeated was the supposition that the Tea Party Nation (TPN) has ... |
Do you let roommates know that you own guns? | I plan to acquire guns before moving in with roommates (strangers; not friends). Is it a matter of courtesy to tell them I own guns if they do not ask? Should I be upfront about it, even if it hurts my chances of finding a place?
Have you guys ever been discriminated against for owning guns during a roommate searc... |

I'll be going with four other guys from work who would all be up for something unusu... |
Hi, tech subreddit. Want to help me remember something I've forgotten about evolutionary computing? | So there was this competition that I thought was called Fleet Wars, but Google believes I'm mistaken. The idea was everyone has to design a fleet of space-based warships to fight other fleets. Participants had limited design resources, so they had to decide what mix they wanted -- if all your ships were well-armored, f... |
The problem with communicators in Star Trek: TNG | Can someone explain to me how, in Star Trek, when you tap your communicator to speak, the communicator knows who you wish to speak to before you say it.
Example: Data wishes to contact Worf. He taps the dongle and says "Lt. Commander Data to Lt. Worf" and begins speaking. On Worf's end, he hears the message "Lt. Com... |

Have you ever questioned your sexuality, and what have you done to act on that? | As someone with a fluid sexuality, I am curious to hear peoples' responses. It takes courage to act on feelings, doesn't it? |

A video of me was parodied by Attack of the Show. | My original video is here]( The stupid parody, which is dumb and stupid, is [here fat jokes. Which is lazy comedy. The video had a **lot** more to make fun of than the fact that I'm rotund. Shame on you, you stupid, stupid woman.
Oh yeah. The original video was featured on a web site for gay men into chubby guys. I'm ... |
I live in a small town in the deep south. AMA. | I was inspired to do this after seeing this link:

DAE find themselves, vocally or mentally, singing or humming a something from your childhood. | I should of never learned the lyrics to the Animaniacs opening, for reasons beyond me, the damn tune will pop into my head more often than I'm comfortable with, making me remember the lyrics which then makes me want to sing it.

Help me, /r/politics: I don't know where I am on the political spectrum | For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in history and social studies; my relatively recent (for about the past 8 months-year) interest in the world of politics and political sciences only seems natural to follow. However one thing that confounds constantly is my identification of exactly *what* I ... |

If the U.S was hit by a major natural disaster, would countries around the world come to our aid like they did in Haiti? | A friend claims the rest of the world hates us and that the U.S has the sufficiency to help itself without foreign aid. Personally, I believe it would set off a global panic and that the majority of countries around the world would come to our aid, especially since were such a major export component to the rest of the ... |
183,000 Ontarians are idiots. | There are only 5 provinces with over 1,000,000 people. 2 of which are just barely over. I'm quite sure Alberta and BC don't even have 1 million people on facebook, so this is a '*race*' between Ontario and Quebec which has only 2/3rds the population.

Does anyone use a subscription based music service that will remove your music if you cancel (i.e. zunepass, napster to-go) and enjoy it? | I have always been interested in these, since they're inexpensive, but I feel like you're bound to pay the monthly fee for enternity... just because you'll lose your collection if you cancel. I'm just wondering if any redditors prefer these to buy-by-the-song services, and if they could tell me about their experience. |

Two potential girls, Valentine's Day coming up, what do I do? | So, going on 3 weeks ago, my friend and suitemate told me that this girl on our floor wanted to go out with me.

I'm starting to understand the fundamental difference between the approach/mentality of Republicans vs Democrats. | This isn't a new realization I'm having.
