Is There a "War on Christmas"? Paranoia unites many groups. Having an "enemy" you can invoke to protect your cause is a standard tactic. Claiming that anyone threatens your beliefs allows the group to bond at special events and seasons. Having "impotent enemies" makes invoking them all the easier. Relax. Their is too much money at stake for believers and non-believers to take any threat seriously.

What to do about global warming,famine,overpopulation? I believe that our whole system is based on the fact that we must increase our #s so that there is an ever greater supply of 'consumers'. But this increase is our demise..so does anyone have ideas? You are mixing the concepts of human nature with economics and environmentalism. Maybe they all belong in the recipe. A psychologist, an environmentalist or an economist would all give you different answers, while a generalist may see the big picture. To address the question, we co-exist in an economic system. Economies depend on growth. But we depend on innovative methods to increase...

Why do womens number of sexual partners seem to matter more than mens? From an anthropological point of view, it is the female who forms the basis for a stable home and society.

Christians : Why do critics of Christianity keep trying to say that Christianity is just trumped up Mithraism? I don't really see what it is that they keep saying is similar at all between the two religions, can you? Just winging it here, but as I recall, many of the myths/beliefs of Mithra were incorporated into Christianity. There is some overlap of religions out of the East due to migration, conquering tribes, and an integration of systems of belief. Before the age of documentation, spinning the beliefs was much easier.

Homosexuality just IS, right or wrong seem irrelevant. I.E. Is blond hair morally right or wrong. No answer.

Have you hate your love seriously? (I think, it is "normal", but interesting meanwhile.) To anyone who answers "yes": I would guess that you have mislabeled your hurt and anger and called it HATE. Hate consumes so much of your good, healthful self. I do not recommend either it or anger. Your EX has taught you a painful, yet valuable lesson about the responsibility you have for protecting your heart. No, I would never call it hate.

What would you say if someone said that "Life is a Cycle" and that "Nature and the Universe is a Cycle "?(the universe is big cycle waiting for the big bag to happen all over again.) They are essentially correct. Nature rejuvenates heerself. Spring, winter, fall, summer, spring. The Big Bang is still expanding but expected to contract in the distant future. But one human's life is not a cycle that we can prove. It begins, it ends. (Our DNA , in part does cycle through our children.) Though reincarnation allows for it.

Answer to:
Is O.J. Simpson a murderer? Why? Do we have other suspects? Where's CSI-LA? The answer to this divides the black and white communities. Interesting that the justice system has a "suspect" reputation itself. The theory is that he was intentionally found "not Guilty" as opposed to "innocent" in order to prevent the chaos of riots. Remember, the climate at the time?

How often you believe that parents 'let go' of their young adult children, trusting that they [the parents] really have done a good job, instilling great values, etc.? If so, why do some still 'hold on' so very tightly? Kids should be raised to be independent. They innately will develop the desire to go out on their own. Parents who stifle this urge, are probably doing so to satisfy their own needs for love and companionship. Parents have to mature also and cut the apron strings.

Answer to:
When is it a very good thing for a parent of adult child/children to say a 'loving' No!'? Have you done this and what happened 'after all'? My kids are very independent.

Unless your Friend is a Christian, a biblical argument is needless, or ineffective if she is not. You can really only share your beliefs and values with her, and the dangers you would face in that situation. She'll either make the connection to her life, or she won't.
