There are many pros and cons to this argument.

Currently is there a huge demand for human organs, and the legal supply does not meet the demand. Sick people are dying when they could be saved. By creating a legal market, this market could meet the demand and stop unnecessary deaths. At the same time, the underground human organ market, which uses bad doctors, and bad equipment would be eliminated.

However, evidence shows that when people can make money by giving organs, donations stop; people do it to make money and not out of the goodness of their heart. It is usually the poor that do, not realizing the full potential of losing an organ. Organ thieves may thrive now that there is a legitimate market for it. If there is a market, it may be only the rich who can afford the now available demand.

What do you think? Should selling human organs be legal?

Do you need other-directed-reaffirmation more than you need self-affirmation. For most of us, myself included, we need our life affirmed by those most important to us, including our bosses. My father was a supervisor in a lumber mill. He said that employees were more motivated by praise from their superiors than from any other means, including pay raises. Are you self-actualized, or do you need your life defined by others?

Every American should have been of mixed race by now in America especially Afro-American. Or is it that most interracial relationships are not for breeding purposes? We see most of these interracial relationships on TV, ie live shows. Americans seem not to like their own kind.

Here in Australia Bush seems very un-popular.
Our prime-minister is losing popularity fast, mainly because although he is an alright person, he supports Bush. We may have a new government by 2008 because of this.
But what do Americans say?

why they can't accept that a new person can actually give new input, fresh ideas.. why they stick to their guns and say "this is how it is" even though that yields more negative than positive results?

3) I leave the country together with my family and give up my Singapore Citizenship. I hope I don't have to resort to the 3rd option, as I'm a very patriotic Singaporean, who is proud and loves his country. I joined in the Chingay celebrations with total enthusiasm but was very disappointed to see the pollution caused by burning of the Chinese paper money!!

Yes, I've written the above with total frustration. It's 4.45am on Monday, 26th Feb and I'm unable to sleep with the strong smell of smoke in my apartment and a severe sore-throat!! I'd phoned 999 to lodge a complain at 1.55am, and again at 2.10am but to no avail while some of the residents were happily burning the papers till 2.40am with no sign of the police in the vicinity. The 2nd time when I phoned, the person who answered ridiculously asked me where is Block xxx Hougang Avenue x? So much for intelligence and efficiency!! Both times I was assured that the police patrol car was on its way to the vicinity in matter of.......

My son received a traditional Korean outfit as a gift for his first birthday. It's beautiful, but I'm not sure how to wear it.

There is a top with long wide sleeves, but no sash or buttons to close it. There is a vest, also with no sash or buttons. (There is also a hat and a pair of pants too, which of course I know how to wear!)

When I searched for photos online, it seems that most of the outfits have a sash to tie the shirt together... Without it, how to you keep the undershirt from showing? What to Koreans typically wear underneath this outfit? Also, does the vest go OUTSIDE of the shirt?

Thanks!

As much as I respect my neighbours, their religion, culture and beliefs, I'm not going to sit back and tolerate the burning of the Chinese paper money at the expense of my and my family's health.

If Singapore is to be considered a civilised and developed country, the government should take measures to curb or eradicate altogether the practice of burning the Chinese paper money throughout the year at any occasion which is deemed necessary by some of the Chinese to do so. At the drop of a hat it's being done and it's unfair to everyone, even to the Chinese themselves.

It's very much contradicting that the government is so strict and stringent about the smoking practices in Singapore, in regards to health and littering issues but is turning a blind eye to the ever present practice of burning the Chinese paper money, which is a bigger nuisance than the smoking practices. How can our government have the cheek to point a finger at the Indonesian government for the pollution.........

What out purpose is, why we do the things we do, why things cost money, why cuss words are cuss words, why we are built the way we are, how did we adapt, why we talk about things we do and why we laugh about things we do. How we can all be people but be soooo different?

I'd like to form a group with other people, male or female, who love the feel of sheer-to-waist pantyhose ( I prefer black, but the color isn't important ) on their skin . I'd like to meet others and talk about this fetish. I'm in central Texas and would like to hear from people anywhere, but especially those near me. I'm not a TV, and don't want to be. I'm a straight-acting married guy who loves this sexy and clandestine pleasure. How about you ??

What do you live for other than "God" or "Allah" or "Jesus" or "Krishna" or other religious deities and figures? Please do not say to go to heaven either. I am looking for honest answers that come from people who do not necessarily have faith or use belief in a very popular abstract/unimaginable being as reasons to continue to live when there are so many things that disappoint and discourage people's will to live.

I have decided I gossip too much.. it's not that I spread lies, I don't.. But I get caught in listening to chatter about others then tell other people too. It is mainly within my family and it is making me feel pretty bad about myself, as it should. I remember a time where I never listened or spoke badly about anyone else.. but I have lost it.. Anyone know how to kick the bad habbit? The most difficult thing is when other people are talking about something and I get sucked in.. I honestly want help for this.. any suggestions? Thanks
