Nature vs. Nurture a few thoughts in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

This is a short analysis I just did after reading a good article on nature vs. nurture. What is the ratio of genetic to environmental influences in understanding the source and expression of various biological and behavioral characteristics? This is the essence of the nature versus nurture debate. I got my black hair from my mother and my skin tone from my father. While it's clear that physical characteristics are hereditary, the genetic wa

Reply to Where Does Evil Come From? in Philosophy JoeUser Forums

I for one do not know what are the boundaries between evil and good I mean who can say that doing anything is really morally wrong there are so many different viewpoints and cultures that its impossible to say one is the exact right way of living. Ofcourse there are decent ways of living and lawful ways of living but anyways thats not really the point im making I just can't distinguish between the two wholly. What I can say is that I tend to look at

your right turker im sorry for assuming the worst, so your saying you didn't marry for superficial reasons and you didn't put your future children at risk by going into a relationship that might have been unhealthy full of arguments and possible separation. You obviously married for the completely right reasons. Or did I misinterpret when you stated you married for looks and because he was great in bed? Tell that to your kids when they come home bec

Reply to Ralph Nader a differant choice in Politics JoeUser Forums

Realistically speaking he will do nothing more than siphon votes of off the democrats if this is a close battle between bush and more than likely kerry it could give enough lee way to bush so he could win again ( thats exactly what happened with gore, If gore had Nader's votes he would have won.) This just means that it is more likely for bush to win with nader running since nader has no actual chance of winning. Would you like to see Bush win an

You should force your sister into rehab you know they have legal interventions that you can do... It is the only way that the situation will improve if you get her help... I mean your mom might be a great mother to you but she doesn't seemed poised enough to make drastic decisions albeit I know nothing of her sometimes the only way to fix things is to act first and then speak later... Good luck

Reply to Avoiding people in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

Everyone avoids someone... Atleast those with manners because we don't want to hurt peoples feelings we will go out of our way in order not to see them. I pose a question now though, why should we feel connected with people we specifically don't want to see? I don't see why we have to put on an act when we do see these people... they really have no say in our everyday lives or actually hold any importance like a family member or friend. The wor

there is an actual mathematical formula that they think can calculate actual odds for marriages heh the website is: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4253709/ Brad the things that you are naming to me seem like common sense now a days, its a little disconcerning that things are the way they are but its just reality... as far as relationships go, with my own experiences I don't think that anyone should get married before the age of 25 this shoul

I thought this topic had died Im glad both of you have thought about it as well .... for me its more of a question that I ask myself just from making casual observances of the world around me such as current events. Technology and society are moving at incredible speeds now at a much more intense pace than the gov't and ethics and these are obstacles that humanity has to overcome in order to advance... I have done much reflection on the subject and I

mignuna you seem to exhibit syptoms of someone that is inept when it comes to "sexuality" even if there is no grander scheme of things and we are nothing more than the product of our genetics why should we not embrace sexuality and not marriage and stability. If you believe in what you say than marriage should also be on your "hate" list among anything else that humans associate with pleasure. I bet you don't like watching movies spending time with f
