Violence is a very complicated topic not only to discuss it but to think about it. People have different concepts of why violence exists and one idea can contradict another. To me violence it’s a signal that we as society are doing something wrong. It was hard for me to conclude what are causes and effects of violence but I believe that media, presence of firearms at home and domestic violence are the three strong roots of violence.


Television programs where violent scenes are present create a violent feeling to its viewers. The parents, on the other hand, with the enormous responsibility of work have left the television and video games as babysitters not giving their children the time and love that they need and instead a time of television they do not need at all.

To have guns at home its a risk. Perhaps the greater error as far as the firearms is the idea that they are useful and indispensable for self-defense. A firearm at home is usually use against a member of the family and in my opinion can increase the possibility of suicide.

Let us not confuse familiar violence with familiar conflicts. The discussions, fights and differences of opinion, are normal in the interpersonal relations, as long as they are not solved violently. The familiar violence can be pronounced of many ways. Most common they are: towards the women, between the spouses, towards the old ones, the minors and the disable people. The members of a family influence in the development of the personality of the children and of whom they cohabit, therefore, a person who lives in a dysfunctional family is going to be violent in all activities. The children normally undergo all the consequences of the problems of their parents, although they are not the direct victims.

In moral matter the violence affects and destroys the values of the family, attempting against the human freedom. To me family is love and in love it is not possible to be mediocre, aggressive or violent.

I propose this new term to be used:

Jesus Huffers - a term used to describe the people that can't identify with reality due to the fact that they get stoned on the fumes that they huff from their bibles.

I mean, the gay guys in Roman weren't shunned upon, in fact, it was quite accepted and usual. How come no one went up to the Roman guys and were like "Hey, GAYS AREN'T ALLOWED"?

I have an 86 camaro with a 305 G engine. Does anyone know a site or way to figure out what kind of gas mileage a typical car like that would get? (A site where I could input the make/model/year/engine size, etc. and it would tell me a gas mileage based on my car.)

I have been on birth control for about 2 years now. my boyfriend and i had sex about 2 weeks ago, and i had only one pack of birth control left so i was trying to make it last, and hadnt taken it in a few days. so i took two before we had sex. i havent taken a pill since, and usually that would cause my period to come, but it hasn't. i heard that if you have been taking birth control for a while, it makes it harder to concieve, but is this true? could i really be pregant? i don't really have any other symptoms?

also: how long does it take for you to start to show when you are pregnant?

It was not lost on Osama Bin Laden that it only took eighteen dead in Somalia for the Great Satan to pull out. It should not be lost on Americans that this is what the Democrats are again demanding we do in Iraq.

You know he is kicking himself for not attacking while a poll reading democrat was in charge. A Democrat would have lobbed a couple of bombs and then gone back to ignoring the terror threat. That cave he is living in is mighty cold and Al Qaida is being slaughtered in Iraq.

Me and my ex broke up a week ago. Basically because we both work a lot and go to school and its not fair to each other we dont see each other. It was his decision to break up but he is insisted on staying friends because he cares so much about me. He said he really does believe there is a chance of this working later down the line but stress from work school and arguing about not seeing each other made the relationship not fun anymore. Could this be a thing of right for each other but not right now?

2007 Expedition. At 1,800 miles the truck started pulling to the left while braking at freeway speeds. New front pads, problem still there. New rear pads, problem still there. Rode with engineer who said while braking/pulling the driver side rear tires is spinning 3-5mph slower than the rest, causing the pull. They then replaced both rear calipers, pads, rotors, and lines. Still pulls the same. Any ideas?

He smokes non stop about 50 a day,and my lungs HURT if I walk out of my bedroom. Im staying in my room with the window OPEN all the time. How can I approach this subject, smokers are selfish idiots, who get so defenseless if you question their obsession with killing themselves and pulling everyone down with them.

And what can I do to stop this vile stench permeating my innocent nostrils and asphyxiating me? I am moving out when the lease is up as I also hate his guts.

Have you heard of *'taste of the wild'* brand pet foods?
I went to purchase Petfood today and almost bought this new brand instead, because its *grain free* which is the ONLY complaint that I have about Canidae and Felidae. I wish they would come out with a grain free food.

ANYWAY, would love to hear some thoughts on this new food from you all.
I went ahead and bought some of the cat food since I was out but decided to wait on the dog food since Ive still got enough for a few more days.

One of my cats bit a hole through the bag trying to get in it before I could open it!

The ONLY thing that worries me is that I think its made by Diamond, their newest brand. Heres the link:

http://www.tasteofthewildpetfood.com/

Heres the link to their ingredients just click on the product....sounds better than Canidae and Felidae to me! BUT, I want to know what YOU think.

For the record, since many questions like this need more information. I am 21 years old, male, weigh 310 pounds, and am 6'1". My build is.....fat I guess. Maybe obese. I don't know, I have never been diagnosed as obese. And in case this may have something to do with this, I am 1/4 Italian, 1/4 Spanish, 1/4 German, and 1/4 Irish.
