There is no concrete proof that alcohol prevents diabetes. It depends on which researcher you quote and which methodology he used for his study. All I can say is that in moderate quantities, alcohol seldom causes health damage. I will not go ahead and say that the consumption of alcohol is beneficial for the human body.

It is not possible to completely eliminate the drugs, especially in a large country such as Philippines which is having a population of more than 100 million. But from the ground reports it is clear that the drug usage has gone down drastically.

You need to ask why the world has turned against the Muslims? There will be a reason for that. And I disagree with the second part of your post. Ordinary Muslims should be blamed for not disassociating themselves from the radicals. You can't just blame the leaders.

^^^ I really doubt how Kim Jong Un is going to react to the spread of Christianity in his country. In the neighboring South Korea, Christianity has become the dominant religion, replacing Buddhism. Even the president of South Korea (Moon Jae In) is a Christian.

The technological advance has made the human life more easier. And this will continue in the future as well. Even for nature, the advance of technology has been mostly positive. For example, we no longer need to cut down trees to producer paper, as the books are mostly in ebook and kindle format now.

Nope. Till now I haven't paid taxes on my income from crypto-currency. I have sold a few of my coins during the past 3 years, but I used Localbitcoins and never paid any taxes over the gains.

That would be too short, and everything will be over in 5 minutes. We need some punishment, which makes the rapist suffer for the rest of his life. What about this? After his penis is cut off, he should be sent to some coal mine, where the rapist must be used as a slave laborer. He will work for 14-hours a day and any wages will be paid directly to the victim.

And what is wrong with that belief? A lot of the conflicts around the world are of religious nature. Look at the recent conflicts in Syria, Iraq and Yemen. Various Islamic and Christian factions are fighting each other.

For us Hindus, even the species is not important. 

There are a total of 330 million gods in Hinduism. Most of them are in the human form, including male, female and even transgender. But there are also gods in the shape of elephants, monkeys, serpents, and eagles.

Not just the media. But almost everyone inside the GOP has distanced themselves from Trump's comments. Perhaps they are afraid that they will lose votes from the Hispanics and the African Americans. But they need to realize that these groups very rarely vote for GOP anyway.

What Trump said is 100% true. It is not proper to blame the alt-right, when the trigger was done by the Antifa goons.

Wind energy is getting more affordable now, but the solar panels continue to remain out of reach for the vast majority of the people. The disadvantage with solar panels is that they require constant maintenance, especially if the dust level is high.

I was born as a female, and I have never complained about my gender. I am happy being a female. That would be the case with 99.99% of the people around the world. Only the mentally handicapped would complain about their gender.

OK.. let me analyze. The Russians are claiming that there was an infiltration of Ukrainian militants, and Ukraine is denying any knowledge about the same. So what should be the next step? Russia should parade the POWs (if there are any) and publish the identities of the dead militants. Have they done that already? I don't think so.

Currently, the natural resources around the world are not enough to feed 7.5 billion people. That's why we have poverty and starvation all around us. And the worst part is that even now, the human population is growing by close to 2% per year.

I can't support this campaign 100%, due to the number of deaths (close to 6,000). But I should admit that there were few choices around and Duterte did what needs to be done. Therefore I support him in his war against drugs.

I would chose Syria (the ISIS ruled part) over any other country. The ISIS is not like any other terrorist organization. The barbarism and depravity shown by them puts even the Nazis of Germany to shame.

I liked his response to the Charlottesville incident. He blamed both the sides, rather than just blaming the alt-right. He was absolutely correct when he said that it is not proper to blame just the right-wing supporters, when the initial violence and provocations were unleashed by the left-wing loons.

Ordinary criminals can be re-integrated in to the society. But not hardcore criminals such as rapists and murderers. They need to serve prison time for their crimes. And if the crimes are very brutal, then they deserve the death penalty.

That doesn't mean that Muslims are any more tolerant of atheism when compared to the Christians. Recently, a blogger in Saudi Arabia was sentenced to death for apostasy. He was an atheist, so the clerics ruled that he had committed apostasy.

Even if you believe the pro-Christian historians, Jesus Christ died sometime around AD 32. That was it. He was a normal human being, who got crucified. And what happened after that is pure myth. There was no rebirth or resurrection.
