If punishment is repeated, its effect will deter. The punishment need not be repeated if the reason is not repeated. And no, sadly, I know from experience that parents often get away with even kicking a kid if it is a single experience and not rep...  [Read More]

I'll not talk about babies. I've never heard of babies doing anything "wrong." They probably know no better. Talking about children 5-12 years old. 1. Perhaps it has done something wrong. Something it was asked not to do. 3. Perhaps they...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Crazy_dog no.3 I'd say (from a Christian POV) that God created the world and everything on it, but no-were does it say that he didn't create more than 1 world. Nor does it say that he did create more than one world?...  [Read More]

Well, speaking from a solely scientific point of view, then your theory that it is unlikely that only 1/100B has life, is plausible. But if you factor in the fact that God created everything (which I partially believe in) then he just might have wan...  [Read More]

I too think they exist...somewhere... ;) But I don't think "the" government knows anything that we don't. I think whatever does exist out there is either less advanced than us and is just as ignorant of us as we are of them, or know quite...  [Read More]

The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley is an interesting read. Although his ideas are a bit extreme, he's a vastly misunderstood man. I quite enjoyed the book. (Trust me though, I didn't read it voluntarily...school obligation) :p...  [Read More]

Personally, I think friendly fire accidents have been happening for as long as war existed. The only reason we know more about it now is thanks to the media and their extensive coverage of the war and their accurate details about the number of people...  [Read More]

Thracken, you have a point there, but apart from what Christianity or other religions say, perhaps every concept of :evolution: doesn't apply to humans anymore. Like, for example, the sole purpose of a male lion, the factor that defines his "fit...  [Read More]
