I think life is hard enough when a person has all their falculties intact. I also believe that the disorder comes about becuase of a defect in the egg or sperm cell. A manufacturing error if you will. In my opinion I think it is cruel to force a living being to live a life destined for pain and...

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 07:05:29 -0800

Why are we repulsed by the arrogance of someone, even if it is justifiably backed by his genuine superiority?

Who gets to determine that superiority? Although I think repulsed is a little strong of a word for the emotional response, I think the reason people are put off is because the person usually determining that superiority is the person who sees themselves that way.

My Boxer and I walk everyday. I have noticed his feet and toes are red and inflamed. I wipe them off everytime we come back from a walk. I'm thinking maybe walking in grass there is something there. Any suggestions?

Needless to say, he's probably in a lot of pain (imagine if your feet were red and inflamed) and needs to go to the vet. It could be anything, an allergic reaction to grass, or whatever you are using to wipe his feet, or an infection of some sort. If it is very hot were you are you could...

No it does not overshadow anything. In fact, they CHOSE to have a child and the "feeding, clothing, and housing" are obligations they had to that child. The child does not owe them anything for providing the necessities of life since they chose to start that life. The debt lies with the...

Answer to True or False: Prophets are never recognised in their own lifetimes?

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 17:58:23 -0700

True or False: Prophets are never recognised in their own lifetimes?

It depends on what you mean by prophet and who is designating them as such. I think MLKing was prophetic, and I think he was recognized as such which is one of the reasons he was shot. I also don't think their main purpose is to be recognized, it is to stimulate change.

I give points if I answer a question. I don't really spend too much time worrying about them. In fact, I kind of hand them out willy nilly. Call me a bad ABer but unless I can cash them in for a Porshe or new microwave, I'm not losing too much sleep over the point thing.

Someone once said, if you question his behavior then more than likely he's not interested. If he was interested, he'd make it known and you'd be clear about it. Do you agree or disagree?

My friend just recently tried to commit suicide and blamed it on me because I wouldn't sleep with her after constantly telling her I wouldn't do it. Do I have any blame in this?

No, it sounds as if she is trying to manipulate you and the chances are this will only get worse. You are not responsible for the choices of others. The next time she says something like this the best thing to say is "I'm sorry you are so confused, but I can't be responsible for...

You are making one of the biggest mistakes when it comes to religion: You have thought for yourself. If you apply this daring reasoning process throughout the bible you will have the same problem. Welcome to the thinking world! It's not as black and white, and certainly not as pretty, but...

My boyfriend has just been sentenced to 19 years in prison, he's the love of my life,should i wait for him?

Not unless you want 19yrs of misery and loneliness and listening to him tell you how terrible his life happens to be. He chose to ruin his life do you want him to ruin yours also. If HE truly cared about YOU, he wouldn't ask it of you

Answer to Do you like to wrap presents, or when you buy it at a department store do you have someone do it for you?

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:50:27 -0700

Do you like to wrap presents, or when you buy it at a department store do you have someone do it for you?

I don't like wrapping them but I'm too cheap to pay someone else to do it. But I always wrap them because I think it shows you care when you take the time to do it, and do it nicely,

Answer to What's more believable: Ghosts or Demons Possessing someone?

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:44:00 -0700

What's more believable: Ghosts or Demons Possessing someone?

To me, neither. Both assume that there is something after this life. But if I was going to concede that point, I'd have to say ghosts b/c it's a lot easier to haunt than to take over the free will of a living being

Answer to Would you consider cannibalism if your life depended on it?

Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:38:23 -0700

Would you consider cannibalism if your life depended on it?

If the person was already dead maybe, but if I had to do the killing, no. Now if the other person decided he/she didn't have these standards and attempted to kill me/my family, then I would be obligated to defend myself. If that person then just so happened to die in the struggle, I suppose...

Geez, I thought my family had problems! It looks like you have quite a few issues there. Sometimes you just can't fix old problems, and in some cases blood isn't thicker than water. Maybe you should think about what is best for you, and that may be staying away from your family. There...

My 7 yr old son wont stop coughing , any help from items in my cubbard?

Coughing is a defense mechanism of the lungs. Something is irritating his bronchial passages. Whether this is something he inhaled accidentally, or it's an allergic reaction, or just the common cold, I can't say. The first thing you should do is see if he has a fever, and then check to...

Answer to Ladies... would you prefer to take responsibility for your birth control, or would you prefer a male pill? Would you trust the man (even in a long term relationship or marriage)? Just curious :)

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 04:11:58 -0700

Ladies... would you prefer to take responsibility for your birth control, or would you prefer a male pill? Would you trust the man (even in a long term relationship or marriage)? Just curious :)

I think the person who had to go through the pregnancy and childbirth would want to be sure that preventitive measure are being used. So, although it would be nice if someone else had the responsibility for a change. I don't think I would take the chance that they lived up to it.

Would you (for a fee) submerge yourself in a large tub of worms in your birthday suit? How much did you have in-mind?

You know at first I was going to say no, not in this lifetime. But, on further reflection, if it was a "life-changing" amount of money, I think I would endure it. So yeah for at a least couple hundred thousand USD I could be bought. BTW I like your questions Highlander

Answer to None of us want to have our options limited or allow others to choose for us or do our thinking for us. So why do some of us try to do that to others?

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 03:43:01 -0700

None of us want to have our options limited or allow others to choose for us or do our thinking for us. So why do some of us try to do that to others?

I'm confused, no one can choose, think, or opt, for anyone else. The only way this can happen is if a person let's it. All anyone else can do is give suggestions, and I don't think that is the same as trying to do those things for others.

Answer to Why does Judges 5:30 call females "prey" (KJV) or "spoils" (NIV) to be divided "a girl or two for each man"?

Tue, 09 Oct 2007 03:37:02 -0700

Why does Judges 5:30 call females "prey" (KJV) or "spoils" (NIV) to be divided "a girl or two for each man"?

Sections of the bible also categorize women with cattle. It should give any self respecting female pause. But somehow it doesn't seem to bother that many, go figure...

Two years ago, I attempted to overdose. One of the first aftereffects I got was a temporary loss of hearing. Why is that?

A lot of drugs are ototoxic (they damage the ears). When taken in excess they can sometimes permanently damage the ears. Aspirin can do this. There are little hairs on your cochlea (the part of the inner ear you hear with) called cilia, these hairs move back and forth and have electrical...
