A father & his son is going in a forest and saw smaller & some what bigger footsteps of two women (mother & her daughter) and they decided that the father has to marry the lady with bigger footsteps & son has to marry the lady with smaller footsteps and they done so.
But the lady with bigger footsteps is daughter and the lady with smaller footsteps is her mother. i.e.,the father married the daughter and the son married the mother.
Then what is the relationship between these two pairs of men and women ?????

Once a horse is no longer of any use as a beast of burden, people get upset if the horse is butchered for food for either dogs or humans. Yet we have absolutely no qualms about exploiting cows for everything they have, even so far as to mount their skulls on our walls as decorations. Why don't we like using horses for meat when horses and cows are almost the same animal (in terms of their contribution to human society)?

You know these days kids claim they are in "love". They all want that fairy tale story and happy ending and see a cute guy interested in them and BAM "OMG ITS LOVE". That happens a lot these days doesn't it? No wonder adults doubt young love. It does exist. Happens; but rarely last forever.
The saying "you don't know what love is" "you don't know what you want""its not real love, its puppy love" etc.
Love is a strong emotion and people say its so strong it could practically move mountains if it could. And with love anything is possible. Love, there is no thinking whether someone loves whomever or no. You just know. Which is why the feeling is undescribable. When its real; you refuse to let go. You keep trying and hoping, you have faith. Regardless of the other person's bad you still see the good. Even if the world thinks you're crazy or says no. You don't give up. As much as it seems impossible it isn't. Pain; just because someone doesn't love you or feel the same way isn't their fault

It can be anything and everything you possibly want. I personally would love to just have a beautiful green haven, looking almost like eden, and my significant other. I would want it to be endless so I could explore and such--and I would want no requirements to live so I wouldn't have to eat or anything.

mine would have to be the usual things like...
Live like theres no tomorrow (although I find it very hard to stick to this... which makes me sad =(
Don't save anything for a special occasion, because you never know when your last day will be and everyday your alive is a special occasion
Don't hold grudges, life's too short
Make sure everything you do is fun!
Don't worry about what others think
Don't not do things because you want to live a long life, it's better to have an amazing short life rather than a boring long one.
Don't ever leave anyone after an argument, because you never know when you will next see them

Maybe not so much as a religon because I've heard you can practice scientology as well as being a catholic... I keep hearing they have very good tools to use for dealing with situations in life... or is it all just a bunch of non-sense?

I recently heard someone say that the tailbone is proof that we had tails. I've done a bit of research on the matter and found that the tailbone actually is not a remnant of a tail at all but just the end of the spine. In fact, it is typically one vertabrae longer than that of the neanderthal which if we were digressing from a tail wouldn't make any sense.
Also with evidence to babies being born with a tail, those tails share no similarity with tails of animals nowadays with the biggest emphasis on bones within the tail.
Also the tailbone is actually not useless at all but assists in childbirth and defecation and helps to support the muscles around the pelvis.
I am curious as to the ideas out there because I appreciate scientific answers whilst being a Christian myself. Please read the website http://www.angelfire.com/mi/dinosaurs/tailbone.html first because though it might be complicated, it is very enlightening.

philososphers said that happiness is the unconcious ultimate goal for all people.I think people face problems, get troubled and get psychologically sick, because they are unaware of thier true goal "happiness" and set subgoals intead. so what shall happen if the one took "happiness seriously" as his only and ultimate goal in life,and derive all his goals from there. Please I need your openions, because i seriously started applying this to my life, and feeling a great change in all my thinking.

I'm doing a project for history that involves dressing up as a famous person and presenting to the class. My person (chosen for me by the teacher) is John Locke. I would've preferred Louis XIV or Napoleon... but life isn't perfect. Now my goal is to make Locke as exciting as possible for a class of bored peers. If Locke said or did anything that you consider interesting or especially radical, I would appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Feel free to expound. I've always said a right is something that can't be taken away from you, i.e the right to die; anything else is a privelege.

More specifically, the kind that all of humanity would have experienced at one point or another in their lives, and can understand/empathise with. Is there such a love? I'd say motherly love, but then not everyone has been fortunate enough to have that. Perhaps the simple expression of love through connection with another living creature...?

yes or no? I say definitely. And please, provide some depth to your answer, or feel the wrath of my thumbs down! Join me in perpetual misery, yet an acquired mass of knowledge. Or, limber through an endless, thoughtless existence just going through motions, and never worrying about anything?
