Forum: To Be or Not To Be

InuKai here with a question. Can you go far in life with the talent or skill alone, or do you need to be hard-working and diligent with what you're doing? This thought came across my mind when my brother thought he could repair computers because, well, he does it pretty damn well. Then, I check...

I'm sorry to open this can of worms but this is an issue that I'm sure we ALL have had our problems with. There is something WRONG with the way our copyright system is when it comes to what it is doing in real life and the original intent of what it was for. Copyright was a legal immunity and...

I'm turning 23 after this summer and I am NOT fucking excited at all!!!! Why,you ask!??!!? It's because I know some people here in the VAA who are around my age who's doing what they want in terms of their respective future careers and I feel like I'm losing precious time here. I don't want to...

I have a few friends who have online relationships. I of course completely support them. Even though I personally wouldn't go for it I am happy for them. ^_^ What are your views on this topic? (I'm not sure if there is already a thread like this... O_o)

I know this is a topic done to death but I need to talk about this and try to do where actual criticism in regards to Anita Sarkeesian's Feminist Frequency videos. It has gotten to everyone's attention that her videos have been getting much flack by trolls threatening to rape her and beat her...

Instead of the usual Atheist VS Religous kind of debates, how about we settle our differences and start complimenting each other's positive doings. I thought this up because I'm a catholic and I have a handful of Atheist Friends. We dont debate EVER. What they told me got me dumbfounded. One of...

What song describes you/your personality/your thoughts best? If you were on t.v show what song would they put on the soundtrack to represent you? For me it would be Crash and Burn by Savage Garden

This is a thread where you voice your opinion on the biggest problems facing the world today, and you explain why...of course.

So I've been kinda pondering this thing on and off for quite a few months now actually. It started with just an offhand comment made by my mom's boyfriend when I was visiting during one of my college breaks. He mentioned how his brother was taking his children out of private school. He then went on...

Is it right to judge someone's voice based on their gender, or is it an unnecessary biased? Since an online world does not deal with faces or appearances, if someone's voice fits the role, is it wrong to cast or not cast based simply on gender? what are your thoughts?

Just general conversation here. Personally I have no religion and with how often science takes back its' discovers' and 'fact' I'm not sure what I think anymore. My co-workers and I had lenghty discussions about which makes more sense for that favorite question of-- "How the world started" I...

There's a saying that goes, "Every teapot has a lid." So, simple question. Do you believe in soulmates?

In light of the Sandy Hook massacre which took play two days ago, there have been numerous debates all over the internet and even on television about gun control in the US. Not only that but a stepfather killed his son on the same day and a man killed two people in a mall a few days before. At the...

Texas' governor has jumped into the presidential race and may grab the nomination. But what do you think of this man, who may become President Obama's challenger? I'd like especially to ask the many Texans on the VAA what they think of the governor and his policies and whether they have worked at...

I know this is kind of weird coming from a guy who vehemently supports the gay community whilst doing a bit of bashing on certain groups of people within the so-called "opposing team" but I do live my life by some of the rules. The reason why I am not much into premarital sex is because I choose to...

First and foremost, this is not a thread to convert or deconvert others. If your ONLY interest in contributing to this thread is to browbeat others into your point-of-view, I'd suggest hitting the 'Back' button now. Here's a link provided graciously by Mippa. Thanks!:...

Okay, this may or may not be a good topic for this section, but I decided to post this topic here because I wanted to and I'm doing a project for my Process of Communication class about Racial Bias in Hollywood. Now, has ANYONE seen GanXingba's "Aang Ain't White" video about the casting choices...
