Is it possible: a) to help each other to increase our awareness capacity about the great value Life has, and its transcendence, so by Conviction, more than by laws or threatens, "all of us become genuinely sincere, grateful and respectful of the One Who Gave us Life, to Mother Nature and to ourselves"? b) To ask politicians to show us what they have done for the country without asking the vote? c) May we ask politicians, not to have a cynical smile mocking of suffering people, like in Iraq? d) May we ask politicians respect the Country Rights of all Nations? e) May we ask our government respect the Noble Girls of America by closing TV Phornographic stations? Please let all of us dare to think and look with sincere hearth for The Truth and forbid manipulation of the religious liders also. If you like this, please send it to headquarthers of political parties and to your friends. Lets make a movement to clean our country, PLEASE

Is it a coping mechanism for some underlying psychological problem that is experienced among older males?

Think of those older men who like to lecture young people all the time, which ther advice is usually received with nods and smiles just to humor them.

If you take a look at history its just an undeniable fact. Hell I have watched it change simply in the short time I have been alive. Now I know there are going to be those of you that make the claim that it has simply degraded or what have you but I dare say members of your own faith 200 years ago would more than likely not even recognize the faith you now belong too were they alive today.

So... ya if you disagree PROVE IT
back it up with some evidence

I mean I can figure that we are not alone in the universe by using the Drake Equation(N = R* fp ne f l fi fc L), but really are there people in other places thinking the same things about us?

I have my own thoughts about this, but I'm interested in hearing what you have to say.

Please give nice full explanations for your answer; a simple "Yes" ain't gonna do.

It seems that resistance to Cantor's idea of "infinities" still exists even today! Is Cantorian set theory some kind of "religious" philosophy? Note that Cantor once said that his theory is a "revelation" from God.

Two people are talking, one of them says something that the other takes as an attack on their beliefs and/or values (not a personal attack) and becomes defensive and even hostile.

Why do people do this, why it that when someone asks a question or makes a statement that asks a question of someone’s belief system that they become hostile instead of cool calm and collected, and asking for clarification?

Why do people instantly believe they others are attacking their beliefs? Are these people so unsure of their own beliefs that they attack out of fear or is it something else?

Please explain what you mean.

Serious answers only please.

Thanks.

Should the State (a country or a country's government) have the power to decide the fate of someone? Here are two situations for your consideration.

Situation 1:
A person is arrested of the rape and murder of a young child. The media plays a circus around the case and when the person goes to court a guilty verdict is handed down. Should the State have the power to order and carry out a death sentence? What if this person is innocent of the crime that they were accused? There have been many cases of people being executed and then posthumously exonerated. In fact there was one case in the US where the victim of a rape ID'd her attacker, and that evidence alone (due to rest of the case being circumstantial) he was convicted. He was sentenced to life in prison instead of death, but it took 13 year and a DNA test to prove that he was not the perpetrator. When such miscarriages of justice can occur should the state have the power to sentence to death?

Situation 2:
The Sate declares war on another country and orders all able-bodied men to fight. The country has as part of it’s laws and constitution strict anti-killing and anti-forced labour policies and laws. The drafted personnel are forced (many against their will) to train, fight and kill the other countries personnel. Should a country State that does not allow its citizens to kill one another or force one another to labour, with or without pay, against their will, be allowed to go against its own policies and force it’s citizens to fight and kill?

Should the State have the power to decide life or death?

Please note: Judicial systems gain their power from the State, so therefore although the judicial system is separate from the State, the State still decides to scope of the powers the judicial system has.

Please explain your reasoning. Serious answers only please.

Thanks.

im not talking about being on yahoo answers. god knows we are all becoming retards on here. i mean in general, do you feel like normal people are getting smarter and more skilled in our society?

in 2001 when i graduated highschool the world seemed a lot different. it was pre 9/11 and that may have even made a difference.

i cant tell if all of society has gotten smarter or if maybe just i have through aging, education, and experience.

...what do you think? have average people gotten smarter in the past 6 years?
