It should be STRESSED (and I should have said it before) by the instructors, that the student NEEDS to discuss the matters learned in class with their parents. If parents find it difficult to bring up, though, wouldn't it likely be even more difficult for the child to do so? I agree with Para
Dabe, I have to agree with some of the prior responses. Your proposition is spot on, and the couplet works well. However, I found it hard to continue siding with you as I read to the bottom of your article, because even I felt antagonized. Do you mind if I borrow that couplet though? where only facts are retai
stute, I don't think the answer to the question is really what's important here. I think that everyone, but children in general should be given more opportunities to think freely and debate a topic. Too often we are given statements that this is the way things are, so accept it. This method provides an exercise in open-mindedness, and helps to internalize the answer at which you arrive, since it isn't spoonfed, but is instead your own anse
oh and have an insightful
You know, I've always leaned toward the pro woman's choice bandwagon on this, but I think you may have just steered me towards the middle. I think my previous thought process had been a little too self-centered, i.e. I'm young, what if I got a girl pregnant. I don't have to put up with nine months of pregnancy, so I don't think I'd go further than the middle, but that was a very good article. Thanks.
I tend to take the approach to life that I should expect the worst in everyone else, and demand the best from myself. That way I'm never disappointed at the weaknesses and failings of other people. At the same time, I make it a point to be giving of time, help, and kindness wherever possible with the hope that it will rub off on others so they can then have the same effect on even more people, and so on. And so long as I keep in mind that I'm expect
Wow, that's bizarre, I was just thinking about the Miller experiment last night, but couldn't remember the title of it, since it was about 12 years ago when I first learned about it. Interesting coincidence.
Thanks!! I think... That's the trouble with trying to speak logically when your mind is a jumble of paradoxes.
I'll look to economics for my thoughts on this. In most cases, it is in your own best interests to do good. This is because each person working together to achieve what is best for themself and best for the group as a whole results in the maximum total payoff. This is the Nash theory, obviously an important theme of "A Beautiful Mind". In some cases, however the comparitive advantage is for you to do bad, since the downsides of
Religion, or the search for God in general, is humanity's attempt to understand and come to grips with something that is just too large for our brains to comprehend. Like in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (or was it in Restaurant at the end of the Universe), where Zaphod has to go into that machine which shows you the reality of the hugeness of the universe, and how much of an infinitesimal, meaningless speck you are, relatively speaking of course.<
The point was...for most of us...what's an extra $5? This, however, is a logical paradox. It infers that at any level of giving, it should never be hard to give a bit more. But once you decide to give that little extra amount, the same argument still holds. Therefore, the logical extrapolation of thi

NYC is most definitely a safe city (from crime). Not quite as good as it was under Giuliani, but that was the issue of the day that he had to address, and now that it's getting along, the issues Bloomberg needs to address are otherwise. I'm sure that in a few years, safety will deteriorate below a certain threshold where it becomes an issue again. There is not a street in Manhattan where I would feel unsafe walking, including Harlem. It might make
since when is not believing the exact same thing considered an insult. It takes quite a stretch of the imagination to draw that corollary. Or are the children insulting his faith by accepting a kind gesture from someone who does not believe exactly the same way? I think you may have meant well in your statement, but it definitely comes off as apologetic for the bomber with that last phrase.
Bubba? do you mean clinton...cause he was never impeached... when has newt gingrich done anything wrong? never heard anything about him... Clinton was impeached, since impeachment is the name for the proceedings to decide if punishment is in order. And
clearly there must be a line between free speech and incitement. If your paraphrasing is indeed true to the original statement, then I'd really like to know where that line is, cuz if this guy doesn't end up a eunuch for such a statement, it seems to me that such a distinction is gone. maybe just type in the url in a message, then someone can turn it to a link for ya
There are armed machine gun toting military/policemen in New York. Reiki, have you been to NY to see this, or are you basing on a picture you sawin a newspaper? I live in Manhattan, walk to work every day, and spend a decent amount of time in the subways commuting around. These guys are usua

When will both the Democrats and Republicans end the stupidity and start governing!!! When they can no longer continue to claim the high ground by pointing the finger at the other as the problem. In my opinion, that is either through the rise of one or more third parties, or some member on both
Hmmm...sounds like the seeds of a new revolution. Shotgun first emperor!! But seriously, after having just recently dusted off 1984 and re-read it, that microphone thing is all too creepy.

never eaten either, but I doubt I'd object to eating it if one were placed in front of me
please disregard my last statement, i realized i missed a post...my bad
I'd rather have had that meat come from something the boy had hunted, rather than a domesticated creature. I really fail to see the correlation on this one, since many of the meats you mention earlier are from "domesticated" creatures as well. And I'm not a vegan either, but I do try to limit
Iraq didn't murder 3000 people. Some Saudi Arabians and a couple of Egyptians did. Your reasoning fails. I must say I'm confused by the response. In what way does that refute the racial profiling mentioned earlier in this thread? If anything I'd say it is in support of earlier comments.
