What about nudity in art?<br /><br />I think whether nudilty is acceptable or not is determined by the culture. I think the phrase that "the human body is beautiful" is true, but doesn't mean it's okay to display it. There is nothing to be ashamed of as long as it is presented in an acceptable manner, place and time. The same...

Was the person's life was at stake, where they protecting children, etc. No matter what I think, if they were found justified in a court of law, by their peers, then maybe they were really justified.

Would it be socially acceptable if i walk around the house naked with my parents home?<br /><br />For those of us who aren't nudist, it probably wouldn't be acceptable. For me it's not acceptable for a teenage girl to walk around her fathter or brothers without closthes. I would talk to those in the nudist community to find out what they think is acceptable and what the rules are. I'm sure...

Every emotion has it's usefulness, so I would say that none of our emotions are worse than others. I would say that it's what you do with that emotion that can be horrible . . . or not.

I learned nothing, eh?<br /><br />Learn to use your imagination. Learn to get caught up in someone else's story and forget about your own for a while.

Is it always their fault for bringing out the worst in you?<br /><br />That fault belongs to us and us alone. Granted someone's actions can create certain emotions in us, we just have to be in control of those emotions.

Do you still support him/her or opt out at voting time?<br /><br />I'm not party loyal at all. I vote for the person, not the party. I consider myself a conservative economically and a liberal socially. The two often contradict each other and the decsion becomes difficult. For example: in the last presidential election year, I didn't vote for president, but...

God probably does't have time for AnswerBag, so if you're here, then you're not God. Not to mention that if you don't even believe you're God, then you can't expect us to believe you're God.

I enjoy and relish every moment. I think it's all in how we look at life. Our judgement day is every day. We have to find a way to enjoy, make a difference, learn, love others, be loved and love ourselves. Once we learn all those things, "heaven" is easier to find right here...

How do I master this skill?<br /><br />"A good skill" . . . yes. But . . and there is a huge "But". Forgiveness only works when you try really hard not to do it again. So, you can't hurt others, forgive yourself and repeat the same offense over and over. Once you hurt someone, realize your mistake, forgive yourself (because you...

Why am I not a regular teenager?<br /><br />Whether it is a good thing or a bad thing is irrelevant. You are what you are. Love yourself but learn yourself. Know that others may see you as older, so this may get you into situations you really don't want to be in. I bet you enjoy things many of your friends do, but if you had rather be...

I am scared that nobody will hire me because I am too old.<br /><br />Why are you putting your age on a resume? I've never put my age on a resume. By the way, you aren't too old. Many peoeple don't get jobs until getting out of college, which could be anywhere from 22-26 or so. Don't sell yourself short.

Show them that you really want the job and that you have initiative. I would be unimpressed with the one who didn't follow up, even if I told them I would call them. In this economy, you can bet that many others are checking back in. Good Luck.

Maybe we could learn something useful. Why are we so afraid of everything?<br /><br />It's human nature. But it's one thing to recognize our differences and another to fear them.

There is someone who will blame themselves for your suicide. Don't do it simply for the people who love you and the people you love (I speak as the daughter of a suicide).

Sometimes I think he does it knowingly b/c he doesn't want to get out of bed at night.

I find that when I exercise, I eat better. So you get better eating habits and excercise all at the same time. Start by running a short distance (or whatever exercise you choose).
