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.

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.

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.

I don't mind religious holidays or their associated greetings. Since I'm not religious, I personally take that as a license to celebrate ALL the holidays of all religions that I choose to. I may not agree with the beliefs, but if it's in the spirit of togetherness and merriment, then I find no reason not to join in.

However, those of African-American descent, while no longer being oppressed, still feel concerned about being oppressed, and/or preserving their heritage, and so have institutions dedicated to these purposes. The rest of the civilization does not complain because they recognize that the black community was treated very badly for a very long time, and so feel it is acceptable that their freedom be expressed in this way. On the other hand, it would not be unacceptable to have white-only institutions, if you consider nothing else. However, white-only institutions bring to mind things like slavery and segregation, and so many people respon negatively to them.

It's a good thing that you are concerned about the acceptance and well being of others! I also used to share this concern. I no longer do, though, for this reason: language changes. Certainly that's not an excuse in and of itself, but it is the way in which the word has changed that leads me to cease being sensitive to the matter. Gay used to mean happy. Then it meant homosexuality. Now it has taken on the connotation of dumb or ridiculous. Just the first transition alone is enough for the word to lose alot of meaning for me, and with the third one, I just don't care as much. It's important to keep in mind that the word has genuinly taken on a new meaning, even though the origins of this meaning are derogatory. When i use it in a negative manner, i personnally do not have homosexual people in mind. And then there is yet another thing that comes to mind...as a straight happy person, should I be upset that homosexuals call themselves gay? No, of course not. Language changes, that's just the way these things go.

My only comment on the matter is on the Bible. You are mistaken about it's origins; the Bible has not only changed once, but many times since it's writing. It has been translated and rewritten again and again and again for 2000 years. The King James Bible, one the favorite version of many denominations, is the result of a complete retranslation...and in some cases, rewriting...ordered by King James. It was translated from Latin, which had been recopied thousands of times, and which was in fact yet another translation from the original Greek!Anyone who has played the game 'telephone' knows that happens to a message passed on many times over. And having read a few different versions of hte Bible myself, i can say that they each describe things quite differently from the others (although most of the same messages are still there).

But i can tell you what i read about. Apparently, there are signs that the ability for a woman to achieve an orgasm during intercourse - or even at all - has a biological basis. Your case is shared by many women, and a number of pharmaceutical companies are looking into developing drugs to allow women with trouble orgasming to do so more easily.

I do find, however, that the manner in which an adult interacts with a teenager is largely dependant upon the context of the interaction and the manner in which the teenager interacts with the adult. In other words: when they act stupidly, they get treated stupidly. Certainly though, it doesnt occur to many teenagers that their behavior might be percieved as stupid or immature; otherwise they wouldn't act that way. There are times, however, when it does seem that they are acting like fools; being a teenager myself, I can attest to this firsthand. Many of the times that an older person will have an opportunity to interact with teenagers, if they dont live with one or work with them, will be in public places where teenagers spend time with their friends. Unfortunately, in groups, teenagers tend to be less inhibited in their actions and their language, and thus other people tend to take annoyance or insult at their behavior. I worked at a movie theater for two years, and during that time i saw my share of dumb behavior. The following behaviors will invariably elicit negative responses from your elders: public displays of affection of any kind, loud group conversations, lewd language, smoking, and on and on. These may not seem like major offenses, but when an individual goes grocery shopping, or sees a movie, they typically are not going there to see teenagers embracing their sexuality and having loud, riotous 'good times,' and thus people get annoyed or upset, and act accordingly.

The desire to raise the resulting children is cultural. You can find quite a bit of scientific study on the subject if you're interested in the specifics, and how we found these things out.

However, traditional Arabian gard...not just muslims...serves an important role in the Middle Eastern environment. The head dresses, full body cloaks, and whatnot, are not made of heavy frabrics; they are light and breathable. In terms of the environment, it is necessary to cover one's entire body when in a desert or similar conditions, in order to shield the body from the sun. This prevents sunburn, heastroke, and dehydration from excessive sweating. There is, of course, another reason many muslims choose to wear the outfits that they do. In many cases, it is a matter of cultural tradition. Depending on what country you are in depends on what degree of covering you will see. In Saudi Arabia, for instance, every inch of a woman's body is covered, head to toe, when in public; in Saudi Arabia, that is what is demanded by the law. The justification given by Saudi lawmakers is the potential for scandelous actions to occur between a woman and a strange man; one of the beliefs shared by many muslims is that it is important to avoid situations that would open a person to sexual temptations that could lead to sinning. Depending on the person, and the country they live in, depends on what extreme they take the body cover to. A predominantly muslim country unlike Saudi Arabia is Iraq; even before American occupation, women there were not required to cover themselves by law. As a some women chose not to, although many continued to wear the full dress out of choice, because it made them comfortable.

One especially, 'How We Believe,' is a book investigating, in depth, faith and other related human behaviors, objectively and scientifically. It'll probably lend a lot of answers to your question.

Your are indeed correct; to many well educated people, the concept of a god is outmoded. However, there is one reason that this is not true for civilization as a whole. It is often said that we life in an age of science; this is not true. We only live in an age that benefits from science. Most people, even educated ones, do not have a good understanding of the nature of the universe and our place in it, nor are people taught in educational institutions the basis of rationality and logic, which is necessary to make conclusions based on empirical evidence rather than assumptions, emotions, or faith. It will be a while, if ever, that the whole of a civilization will be educated enough to shed itself of outmoded traditions.

My moral code is based upon the question 'does it harm people?' This naturally can make ethical questions complex, but in the end, it is effective. As far as pornography goes, the answer is: it's not immoral, most of the time. I find that in order to be comfortable with one's self, it is necessary to accept that sexuality is a very large part of being human, and that one is only harmed by being afraid of it. There is no harm in arousal from images, providing the viewer is a sexually and intellectually mature adult. In children, pornography can cause a number of real problems to arise, for a number of reasons. In addition, the exploitation of children for making pornography also harms children, and so is immoral.

It's not as hard as it sounds. The key is wariness and skepticism. Always be aware, and do not take things at face value - question the things that you see and hear. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to stop trusting your fellow man; it's more a matter of analyzing your fellow man. Concentrate on your awareness and how much you know about where you are, the situation you are in, and who you are talking to. The easy mark is a person who is unsuspecting; being aware and skeptical is the best way to avoid this. Training yourself to have the proper mindset is all you need to do; your body language is indicative of your mindset, after all. I think it is best summed up this way (i do not know who said this first), 'Trust everyone, but lock your doors.' Or alternately, 'Trust, but verify.'
