Sociology - July 2007

A fifteen year old girl calls and holds conversation with you for a week.The subject refers to alot of topics,including sexual questions etc.She asks for your description and says she'll do it if she can cut your hair.Her mother drops her off,she's lied about your age and it happens.The thing is,she is never hurt or abused but a month later a cop knocks on the door saying that you sexually abused this girl.The age difference is twenty one years.Since this is a hypothetical question,what would you do?Tell your story to clear it up with the detectives?Or go for a jury trial?

To circumvent discussion about what is and isn't sin, we'll use the following operational definition.

Lying, stealing, fornication, adultery, substance abuse, acts of violence or cruelty, bearing false witness, vandalism, fraud, lewdness, .... That sort of thing.

It seems like more of the emotional issues on this forum could be easily solved by acting logical. What are the best applications of logic to the problems you are now concerned about? - Live long and prosper.

Why hasn't evolution eliminated homosexuals? Is it because homosexuality is really a choice one makes, or because Darwinism is a fallacy?

Why do we hurt each other emotionally and put people down below their means?

I want your suggestions on how we as individuals can take steps to treat people we encounter on a daily basis with more respect.

I would think solid definitions would be great, I have looked through my book and nothing seems exact.

I'm Brazilian. I live in Brazil and this question is for real. I don't want to compare Brazil to the US. Brazil has gone through a long period of dictatorship, without any democracy at all, unfortunally. But I know some americans and notice there are very few of them (almost nobody) who can tell me why the US has been so much attacked recently not only with bombs and other physical threats but also in the international press (in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, South and Central Americas, everywhere). So the public opinion in the US is completely unaware of the reasons of so much hate against their country. There is the international media and then there is the US media which creates its own reality to be broadcasted and believed by 99% of their public. Is that democracy when you can't judge without any reliable information?

It seems like every other post is some 12 or 14 year old girl talking about how fat or ugly she is, and how she needs to lose weight, and will only have friends if she's pretty.
I've answered a few of them, but it's like they just keep popping up again and again, and now I don't feel like I have the energy to care about them anymore.
It's so incredibly tragic.
It makes me want to quit yahoo answers all together, because there's no possible to way to really help these girls. This problem is already to ingrained into their psyches. No amount of posts will change their minds.

This wasn't really a question; I just wanted to address how upset this makes me.

I don't usually blame "society" for things... it always seems like a cop-out to me. But seeing all these questions has made me realize that there really is something very very wrong happening here.
So what can we do to fix it? (I guess that's the question)

It is such a pain! At school there's Nerds, Jocks, Preps, Emos, Freaks, Populars, Norms, in-betweens, and Floaters. I'm tired of people looking at each other and judging you instantly! What's up with it??
