But it is unacceptable legally for them to get married without consent of their parents. Am I wrong about the law? If not what is the law. Also ethically it is okay or even encouraged to have sex at 16 but its not okay to settle down. What about the vulnerability at that age, pregnancy? STDs?

I propose to YA, that they should tell you who reported your question or answer when it is deleted. That way people will think twice before reporting, knowing that they might be the target of the person they just reported. Something tells me it would all but eliminate reports from cowards just because they don't like the question/answer....what do you think?

We need to learn to be open minded enough to discuss this issue based on rational grounds. I do not feel that homosexuality is a manifastation of a deficit in character or emotional or mental ability. A person who is gay or has gay tendencies may be "wired" differently from birth. I know this is a throw back to the nature versus nurture argument.

We must come to grips with the reality that the human sexuality is the most complex of any animal. This is probably because we as humans have the most complex and higly evolved minds. Therefore, unlike most species our sexual envolvement is not simply an act of procreation but it is also an expression of love and communication on a very intimate level. Sometimes our interest or connection with others does not come in the package of the opposite gender.

In addition, the psychologists "Freud and Erikson" suggest that the lines human sexuality are not clearly marked. (Most people are not 100% heterosexual or 100% homosexual) Most people are some where right or left of center along a continuem.


Culture, tradition and religion has created taboos that have discriminated against certain groups based on unrational grounds. We all know that homosexuality will never be normal or normative behavior in western and especial American culture. However, homosexuality should not be viewed as an act or a transgression against God and Humanity.

I know that many of you are going to tow the line with a literalistic interpretation of scripture from the Old Testament to the New Testament. However, I will caution you, that the same scriptures were used to justify African/African American oppression from Leviticus, to the Letters of Paul. So I do not think that we should use, misuse and abuse the Sacred scriptures to justify anyone elses oppression; homosexuals.

We must be broad minded enough to look at the big picture. The cooresponding theme from the Old Testament to the New Testament is a theme of Liberation. In a literal since, in the Old Testment, the Bible talks about the Liberation of a wayward people who are looking to a Messiah to help them re-establish the Kingdom of Yehwah and deliver them from their multiple international enemies. The Gospel shares with us a Savior who will bring this Kingdom down through an act of LOVE, which led to His death on the Cross!!!! (John 3:16)
(Yes, Jesus died to liberate his people and all people)


I believe that we should share in the mission of the Long awaited Messiah. We should embrace God's Kingdom, expressed through Jesus Christ and share it with others. Abernachy called The Kingdom, "God's Beloved Kingdom."

One way to share in the Kingdom of God is to untie ourselves from the cultural and religious chains that oppress other people. We need to fight for the cause of liberation of everyone even if it leads to our own cross and blood shed.

To me the topic homosexuality is not a issue of sin, but it is a issue of SOCIAL JUSTICE. GOD'S PEOPLE ARE BEING OPPRESSED THROUGH DRACONIAN LAWS THAT PROHIBIT THEM FROM LEGAL MARRIAGE AND THE ABILITY TO ADOPT CHILDREN IN MOST STATES.

WE NEED TO SHARE GOD'S BELOVED KINGDOM TO ALL WHO ARE OPPRESS AND THIS INCLUDES HOMOSEXUALS.

We have 37 states that have borders or open coastlines. Why just build a bit of fence here and there? Why not enclose the entire country with a wall like they did in China? Just think of how much more secure you would feel if nobody 'illegal' could get into the US. Just imagine a wall going right through the Great Lakes! Or maybe we could just drain the Gulf of M exico so they won't be able to swim here. The possibilities seem endless!

Does the Salvation Army really only give 25 % of money earned to people that need it. So every dollar you give only a quarter is used to help those in need.

Thats horrible someone please find the truth about this.

We hear about Hiroshima, and Nagasaki but never about the Japanense rape of millions of Chinese, or Pearl Harbor, The killing and rape in the philliphines and Maylasia. I know they made good autos and i drive one but is that any excuse to give them a free ride on the truth?

Well here in the US we call people of color as african americans but what if you in like lets says Britain and you see a person of color what is he then? Since the term African American only refers to people of color in the US. Can't really say black since a lot of them find it offensive if it comes from a white person such as myself.

Ok so I worked at CVS since Aug. 2007 and this girl that got hired 10 days after me was paid more than when she started out 10 days after me. I just figured this out because we were talking about our annual raise that we got and I asked her how much she makes and I was told 7.25.
Then also I find out that she started out at 7.00 and I started out at 6.85 which is minimum wage in my state.
Me and this girl have the same job title which is service clerk so there is no need for the pay difference.
When I was hired in I asked how much us service clerks make and I was told minimum wage so I assumed that it wasnt possible to negotiate your pay.
Also to add to this story my friend that got hired after this girl also makes minimum wage.

So after all that I need help on what I should do in this situation. Should I seek legal help or should I go to the crappy union we have.

Thanks so much for your help

It is Yahoo doing it through a computer program that is set to reject certain words or it is removed by a Yahoo monitor, if it was not posted then another member could not report it?

The question, that is not always the case, a person can read other answers and report them if it goes against their ideology, the only way it will stop is for everyone to stop, if you feel insulted or something is against your belief try this IGNORE IT?

I was pulled over for doing 46 in a 30 zone...this is a speed which i never thought id get pulled over for...i was one of the few cars on the road...i didn't really see the cop until he was right behind me and even when he flashed his lights i thought it was for someone else...i'm under 21 and first offender...the ticket is $210...i couldn't believe it...the cop asked if i wanted him to show me the calibration of the radar gone...i said no since i didn't really see the point...and i just learned that saying you're sorry and didn't know you were going that fast is an admission of guilt...i planned on going to court but when i think about it i'm not really sure what my defense would be...other than hoping the cop doesn't show up...all things considered, should I still go to court or pay the $210...the cop also said something about it not affecting my record but i was too out of it to really listen...thanks in advance for your input...
