I have a few friends I love debating with. One of our debates was about morals (it was related to political issues I won't go into). One point they raised was my moral belief is because of the culture I was brought up in. The idea being that if I lived in an Aztec culture I would think that human sacrifice is alright. If I lived in feudal Japan I would think boiling any non-Japanese alive was perfectly normal, etc.
My counterpoint to this is that if it is this absolute then the American Revolution never happened, the story of Moses is completely false (since he was raised Egyptian), and serial killers don't exist.
On the other hand there is some evidence that we are becomming desensitized to violence the more it becomes the norm in the media (all media).
How much of a role do any of the three have in our morality? I lean towards instinctive simply because there are some things I won't do that no one ever told me not to do, I just feel they are wrong "instinctively".
Thoughts?

I have a renter's record of about 3 years now. I was in college for 4.5 years and am moving to a bigger city. I have 3 interviews in a city. 1 job is for sure mine if I tell them yes within the next few days, the other one I am still waiting on word as I have to go through a series of 3 interviews. Basically, I am locked down to have a job no matter what happens with this one job.

I have noticed some apartments being very strict about who they accept such as. "you need to have a stable job, working there for 1 year" and "You need to be currently making an income of 2x the rent" I need a place so I can start my jobs, but how can I start my jobs if they have such strict rules? Are all apartments like this? What are some strange rules you've heard of before to get accepted?
When I was living in my old apartments they were pretty lenient as it was a college town. Some apartments don't want you to have more than 2 kids and want proof of your pet's medical records...

My wife has daily disabling migraine attacks. She wakes up every day with a migraine.... some days are worse than others.... but she basically has no life, and things have been getting worse. We discovered some time back due to a routine dental procedure that Nitrous Oxide at the dentist's office eliminates her migraines for the rest of the day.

I'd like to know if it is even possible to get approved/certified or a prescription of this for home use to alleviate her horrible pain. She has been unable to work now for 5 years, has seen many doctors for the migraines... has been hospitalized for it, has had shots, preventatives, interventive drugs.... but there has been nothing that has really done much for her.

This is a really big deal and we are grasping at straws. Any help is appreciated.

Pls star if you like it. thx.

Two doctors opened an office in a small town and put up a sign reading: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Psychiatry and Proctology."

The town council was not happy with the sign, so the doctors changed it to "Hysterias and Posteriors."

This was not acceptable either, so in an effort to satisfy the council they changed the sign to "Schizoids and Hemorrhoids." No go.

Next, they tried "Catatonics and High Colonics." Thumbs down again.

Then came "Manic Depressives and Anal Retentives." Still not good.

Another attempt resulted in "Minds and Behinds." Unacceptable again.

So they tried "Lost Souls and *** Holes." No way.

"Analysis and Anal Cysts?" Nope.

"Nuts and Butts?" Uh uh.

"Freaks and Cheeks?" Still no go.

"Loons and Moons?" Forget it.

Almost at their wit's end, the doctors finally came up with: "Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones, Odds and Ends."

I really want to go to the University of New Mexico (UNM) but I am afraid I won't get in because I read on their website that to get in you need to have a 2.25 GPA in all your high school courses, I am a good student but I kind of had a bad spot in my life during my sophmore year and so I did not earn the 2.25 GPA in four of my classes but have the 2.25 GPA + in all my other classes, so do you think they will reject my application because of this? Do you have any advice on what I should do next?

Ok . . . so I know everyone is going to say I shouldn't care - BUT I will most likely be seen by strangers. My hospital puts there Drs on call & most likely it will not be my OB.

I have not been able to clean up my vajay area due to not caring and just not being able to reach! I tried to trim today and thought I was going to fall over - and I was so exhausted after! Because of this . . . I will most likey get razor rash or bumps. I planned on cleaning up - not shaving the entire area but now I think I may just forget it. I am gettign a good product that is suppose to help w/ bumps but . . . should I just forget it?

Did you even care? Am I crazy?

BTW, I am 39 weeks, due 12/25 and got my membranes stripped today so it could be anytime now (we hope).

Do the people on here preaching the bible really think that they can change athiests (or people of other religions) minds?
If they didn't believe it before, why would they believe it now?

Hello all. I adopted two kittens from an animal shelter, both are now five months old. Since I adopted them, both have very soft stools. It's not watery and doesn't have any blood or anything unusual. They are very active and playful and eat lots of food. I feed them Purina kitty chow (dry food) and sometimes food that I cook. Since I noticed how soft the stool is, I stopped feeding them food that I cook for a whole week now to see if their stools would harden, but I have seen no improvement. I also never feed them anything dairy, and I give them lots of water. Both kitties have vaccinations and have been dewormed. What could be wrong with them?
