We wouldn’t. Regardless of this gentleman’s beliefs, it is still against the law to have multiple wives. The thing about that particular law, though, is that it is not often enforced; in fact, polygamy happens so little in America that I would imagine that law enforcers do not go out of their way to look for it. If this man has more than one wife, I suppose you could contact the authorities. That would be spiteful and mean-spirited in this case, though, because even if this man is punished by the law, his beliefs will not change. And he has every right to his beliefs.

My previous job was at a movie theater. I’ve seen plenty of customers become unbelieveably upset at just a bag of popcorn…I’d rather not imagine how things would be if it were their health. I also would be rather unhappy working with the kinds of things that nurses deal with; all the things that go along with illnesses. And finally, I would be bored. Really bored. I’m a fairly ambitious young person, intellectually speaking, and I have high aspirations for embracing my intellectual creativity. I will not be finding an outlet for that as a nurse.

Are you? And We live in an equal opportunity world now; it’s as much your job as it is a man’s to innitiate a relationship. If you know those descriptions of you are accurate, then feel free to be the one to innitiate a relationship with a man that has your eye.

I know that sounds like a relativistic dismisal, but love trully is one of the most poorly defined concepts in the english language. The real question you want to ask yourself is, at what point do your feelings of attachment and affection qualify as love? Is love the desire to spend the rest of your life with that special someone? If so, how can you know such a thing upon first seeing a person? It’s really a matter determined by who you are, and it’s something you need to determine on your own.

I conclude that they are misrepresented in the only text on the matter – the bible. And my thoughts on religious individuals questioning modern miracles are this: their faith is based on 2000 year old accounts of miracles, thus, it doesn’t occur to them to question said miracles. On the other hand, in these times there are alot of investigative tools available, and the art of skepticism is well developed, and so many things that once would have been miracles are now known to be explainable, natural (or fabricated) occurences.

I personally just put myself in a different mindset about the matter. I try not to think of it as helping someone significantly less fortunate than myself (due to physical disabilities and such); rather, I think of it in the same way I would think of helping someone carrying alot of things – it’s always nice to hold the door for someone with their hands full, even if they might be able to manage it on their own. Most people with disabilities won’t mind, and may even like, the help. Perhaps some may be indignant, but they’re typically in the minority.

This is not universally the case. I personally see no ethical reason not to be polygamous, but i personally would choose not to if given the option…multiple spouses makes life too complicated, especially where raising children is concerned. And think of this: if i can marry more than one woman, and a woman can marry more than one man, you could very well end up with a huge ‘marriage chain.’ There’s really nothing wrong with that, it would simply be very confusing. But then, there is the case of polygamous non-comitment. Multiple girlfriends/boyfriends and whatnot. Without commitment, relationships are free to form and dissolve practically at will, reducing the potential complexity of the matter. This would not be a good situation where children are concerned, though, because a child is best raised in a stable environment.

As things turn out, a woman can (and does) fake it, and there is no real way to discern it from the real thing. Except for one thing: PET scans (brain scans). The brain activity of a woman orgasming is quite different from that of one faking it. Specifically, orgasming involves a lack of activity in the fear, inhibition, and awareness areas of the brain. Basically, to reach full sexual arousal, a woman, in some form, has to surrender to the experience. The same thing goes for men, but to a much lesser degree.

For many people, it reality and believing have no correlation. Faith, rather, is an emotional experience, and does not require…for most people…corresponding empirical evidence. Those inclined towards skepticism or empricism, which you seem to be, tend not to understand this, because they base their understand of reality on what can be proven and what makes sense. This, I think, is a good thing. In terms of the nitty-gritty of proving or disproving God, there are two possible cases: god demonstrates his presence clearly and unambiguously, or we are left unknowing. It’s simply not possible to trully disprove god, since one can just as easily fathom a god who chooses to make it look like the universe happened on its own. And on a note to other people: not being able to understand evolution, or the universe, is not proof of anything other than ignorance.

I am of mostly irish descent myself, and I have alcoholics on both sides of my family. I believe, though, that the tendency towards alcohol addiction isn’t related to being Irish; its more of a genetic predisposition. Some irish people just happen to have it; there are plenty of people of other races with the same disposition.

You’re still young, and there is a relatively small age gap between yourself and 13/14 year olds. Maybe you just like small breasts? If you’re really concerned or curious about the matter, don’t be afraid to contact a psychologist; they are able to diagnose whether such predispositions spell trouble, and can advise you on what to do.

The propensity to commit crime is directly related to socioeconomic conditions; it just happens to be that black people are more plagued by poverty than other groups, and so burglary and related crimes tend to be commited more often by black men. Even the matter of poverty isn’t trully a racial matter; the poverty stems from the locations they live in (poor urban areas), which have poor educational institutions, high unemployment, and few good examples for an ambitious young person to follow.

From your perspective, you worked to make your program as efficient and effective as it could be at training people for management. Affirmative action, however, does not focus on efficiency or effectiveness; it works instead to force diversity to exist in the workplace, in order to acclimate the working public to said diversity. You’re correct to say that it destroys the program’s integrity, and it probably harms the company as a result, but as long as voters see discrimination continuing to exist, they will continue to prefer forcing diversity over enhancing productivity.

What the author found is that the types of names a particular set of parents might choose is typically a reflection of their socioeconomic background.

Religion does indeed cause alot more suffering than it solves, especially when one keeps in mind the setbacks to civilization that it has caused. But that’s not the true reason humans fight wars. Oh, religion may be a factor in some cases. But when you get down to it, the cause is conflicting economic interests. The crusades, say. Not for religion…after all, what did the surviving crusaders bring back with them, every time? Loot. And alot of it; intellectual property from the Arabs as well as material wealth. They were offered escape from a short, brutal Dark Ages life, with the promise of riches and a place in heaven awaiting them. How about Iraq? Does George W. want to convert muslims, or defeat them? Perhaps. But that’s not the reason the U.S. attacked Iraq. Oil is. I know, that sounds like the usual conspiracy theory. But consider this: using Department of Energy statistics, one finds that, at present usage, the world has 30 years of oil left. That’s it. And most of it is not in the United States. The quickest, easiest way to ensure that the flow of fuel to the U.S. stays – which is necessary because our infrastructure depends on energy from oil – is to militarily enforce the status quo. That requires a clear presence near the source of oil, which is the middle east in this case. Iraq is smack in the middle of it all, and Iraq has alot of oil to boot. Those permanant U.S. military bases being built in Iraq? They’re not for converting muslims.
