• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    What is your favorite Beatles song?

    Can I just pick every song on Abbey Road? :\

    Scientists say dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

    I don't doubt that other species could evolve the ability to use language as humans do -- after all, there isn't any kind of intrinsic barrier between what composes a human and a non-human animal -- and it certainly is impressive that chimps could learn as much as they did, but I would say...

    Scientists say dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

    Just for you, I've transcribed an excerpt from one of my university-level textbooks: "Using each type of training technique, some researchers have made remarkable claims for the ability of other species to approximate language use. In one of the better-known projects, a chimp named Washoe was...

    Scientists say dolphins should be treated as 'non-human persons'

    I hate to rain on everybody's parade, but I think it's pretty unlikely that we could actually develop a mutual language with dolphins, and thus have "dolphin buddies." =3 I don't mean to say that dolphins aren't extremely intelligent, it's just that when it comes to language, that seems to fall...

    Does post count matter to you?

    Considering how infrequently I actually post on TCOD nowadays... no, I really don't care at all about my post count. I don't see how not having thousands of posts reflects negatively on me... in fact, it seems to suggest that I have other things to do than to post nonsense here all day. :)

    Butter or margarine?

    Margarine. No dairy cows are harmed in the process of making margarine. :)

    Abortion

    I learned very little about sex in sex ed programs at my school... most of what I learned, was from doing my own research on the internet! XD Sad, I know. My school too basically gave you a message somewhere along the lines of, "IF YOU HAVE SEX YOU'LL GET STDS AND GET PREGNANT AND DIE, NO...

    Education in US

    I agree with Dannichu... I think somebody's grades over the course of several years are a better reflection of a person's performance in school than one exam or one project. :3

    Education in US

    Oh god, I also think the PSSAs are the lamest standardized tests ever (hello to my fellow Pennsylvanian -- I live two hours north of Pittsburgh :P). And my school has a graduation project requirement, too, which I just gave a presentation on and passed last week. I think it's pretty dumb...

    Abortion

    You should see my school's newspaper. It's the biggest pile of crap that ever was or could be written. :3 I don't even think the students who write for it would be capable of delving into an issue as deep as abortion.

    Easter Vacation?

    The only day I have off for "Easter break" is tomorrow (Good Friday). :( And on Easter Sunday I have to work 3pm-9pm. So I'm not really looking forward to Easter.

    Do you belive in ghosts?

    I kind of wish there were an answer between "no way" and "I'm not sure", because that would be my position. I voted "no way", for the record; but while I don't believe in ghosts I don't know if I'm quite willing to say there's no WAY that anything ghost-like could ever exist. I suppose you...

    Vermont close to legalising samesex marriage

    As far as I'm aware, same sex marriage is not legal in Oregon? Which surprises me a bit, honestly, because Oregon is a pretty liberal place. But things are looking up at least, what with this business going on in Iowa and Vermont and DC all at once. :)

    Religion

    I think you're right, Watershed, about churches being primarily places for social congregation. I know several people who attend church who don't seem to be overtly religious otherwise (my grandma, for example), and I think that these people go there more so for the social aspect. On the other...

    Abortion

    If I were to get pregnant right now -- god forbid that should happen -- but if I were to, I'm pretty sure I would have an abortion. It would definitely make me an emotional trainwreck, but... in the end, I know that having an abortion in my circumstances would be the right thing to do. It...

    GMO vs. Organic food products

    On the topic of GMOs, I don't really see anything inherently wrong with genetically modified food as long as we're not sacrificing quality for quantity. That is, that we're actually working on developing food that is going to be tasty and nutritious for us, rather than forgetting that with the...

    *high-fives Vermont* Way to go, guys. :) By the way, you guys should all watch this documentary. I watched it yesterday and I thought it was pretty moving... teared up a little bit, even.
