Serial killers, murderers, rapists, druggies, ecetera.. Many of them say they were born this way or that they felt different from everybody else when they were young. Are they placed on this earth to be evil and commit sinful, murderous acts of violence? God has a plan for all of us and I know that everyone has their own freedom of choice but what if some individuals are just born evil? if that is even possible...Yet they are part of God's plan or somebody else's plan that God has for each one of us. And if they are predestined what part do they play in God's plan. And is it possible for them to change their ways and mentally unstable minds?

I am a bit confused- or perhaps I am not- by the logic of the passage in the Phaedo addressing the generation of life from death, and vice-versa.

Socrates addresses Cebes' statement of concern that the soul, after death, simply dissipates, "issuing forth like smoke," and concludes that an underworld or afterlife
must exist- and the souls of the dead remain conscious there- that life can be born from death.

This seems to be terribly flawed conclusion- akin to saying that the underworld is a sort of Tupperware container in which the dead are stored for further regeneration of life. In my understanding, he is not speaking figurately or conceptually- but means that the souls of the dead literally maintain a conscious existence.

My confusion lies in a possible congruency between Cebes original statement- namely the dissipation (or perhaps dissemination) of the soul, as Cebes describes it, is not antithetical to the dead regenerating life.

The question:
What fallacies, if any, are present in the following passage? Can you please give reasons for your answer, that is, if you say that a fallacy has been committed, then show where the fallacy occurred, and explain why you think it is a fallacy?
The passage:
Canadian military men die in foreign fields because Canada declared war on other countries, not vice versa. There mere fact that we fought does not necessarily make our cause or causes virtuous.
Few Canadians really paused long enough to really investigate the reasons for our foreign adventures.
I had a long talk with a veteran of World War II. He was a hand-to-hand-combat instructor and a guard at Allied headquarters in Italy. I questioned him on the reason for Canada’s involvement. He replied unhesitatingly that we fought because Britain told us to. That was the only reason.
It is quite clear that the only reason for world wars is that countries that have no business in the conflict get involved.

It's traditional in my culture to include the mother's maiden name as part of the child's name. For example--Joe Michael Smith (mom's name) Jones (dad's name). But I didn't do this. How do I start to get my son's name changed in California?

And to the looking glass this ode
into which I see
The mirror, creature so profound
reflecting... me.

Yet 'tis an image, nothing more
though how precise it be
How is it that a thing of stone
can show so clearly, me?

Oh such a magic must it hold
or curiosity
Quietly observing all
then showing it to me.

But more to I than meets the eye
I'm more than you can see
And thus the mirror, seeing all
still knows not of me.

Perceives without, yet of within
not so easily
Reflects it all but nothing still
least of all, of me.
----
Comment on whatever you wish- the message, the rhyme scheme, the meter, why the heck I would write a poem about a mirror, etc, but please do comment- I am eager for feedback.

I want to know information about Ho chi minh and how he affected the world. I don't really understand what he did. Did he create a communist country that changed the world or did he just fight for independence for Vietnam so they don't have to be french? Or is it both things he did? I only know that he is a communist leader but i don't know what he is trying to do?

Like we can control what we do to earth as far as what species live and which don't and it is possible we have something to do with global warming, many other animals depend on us, and we are the most intelligent and advanced specie.

Why are we living in the year 2000 and not the year 2 billion or something? What did the year one mark? And why do the years go by BC and AD? When did the years start going by before christ and in the years of? And are we still living in AD? Or did they start over after Jesus supposedly died?
