Let's say you buy things out of your own pocket for something but don't ever turn in receipts for reimbursement? Is it ethical to later pay yourself for those items from "petty cash." I haven't before, but I've been plenty tempted. It's all the same money after all.

I do not understand the bulk mail. I get 30 a day and I don't even understand what they mean? What do I care what "Sara does in the kitchen with gravy when it spills." And then they repeat it 20 times! Will someone explain this to me please?

I came across this idea a while back.
As a guy, all of my real friends are my friends because we share some one thing in common. We both like school, or a certain sport, or a certain game. I was asking around, and the first answer I got, was that two best friends first met each other because they both had Pok'emon cards in 5th grade.

I asked some girls, and they said that their best friends were they best friends because at some point they had told their friend one all of their most important secrets. Then, as secrets were quickly passed between the two, they because best friends.

Is this theory true? Can you attest to it?
Do you have some evidence for it?

Could this be why (no offense intended)
1) men talk single-mindedly with their best friends, but "break up" less?
2) girls gossip more, yet often have arguments over things?

Your opinion?

A lot of people now a days are saying that a person can do whatever they want to as long as they are happy with it, and it doesn't hurt anyone. Some examples: gay/lesbian, drugs, prostitution, sex before marriage, tattoos, body piercings...etc.

In reality as a society do we still have morals and is it true that are society is going threw moral degradation?

My thought has to do with human progress. The advances of history have come from people who replaced those who had died before. Had they not died, their ideas and accumulated powers would have endured, which is, historically, negative, if you believe that the human condition has improved over time.

Would you like it if people born 300 years ago were still alive, with their ideas about humanity? How about 3000?

I’d like to hear your thoughts.

My question for anyone familiar with the welfare system in Chicago is that why is it that african-americans are given so much aid and when there are people who do need it they give them such a hard time to get it. I am hispanic and yes Im legal. But years ago a went through some tough times and as much as I didnt want to do it, I applied for welfare but was denied because I was "Making too much money" ( I dont call minimum wage too much money) But yet at the office I saw all these people pull up in nice cars with nice cell phones and all this bling and walking out with a case. Then during recent years I hear from african-american coworkers how they are getting welfare+they are working+their babies daddy is getting a check for babysitting his own kids +they get section 8 to pay for their rent so they are always careful to not work too many hours......While here I am busting my butt trying to make ends meet. Am I missing something here?

sometimes I am talking to people and I am just talking normally and don't even think anything about what I am saying, but as I am in the midst of talking I think about how meaningless what I am saying may be to the person I am talking to even if it is interesting to me, e.t.c., i.e. I may be talking about computers to my father who has a short attention span and has never been exposed to computers and knows nothing about them, and I could be talking normally, but then I will think about what I am saying and who I am saying it to and suddenly become nervous and sound strange and gradually stop talking, or like sometimes I am on the phone in my dorm room talking freely until I remember my roomate is in the room, and then I start sounding nervous and it becomes hard to talk. I don't know why this happens. Am I worried about what others think about me? And is there any way to get over it? How? What specifically do I do? Does this ever happen to anyone else?

BUt I also wish to know...... how do the people discriminate others via genes? if it's qualifications, racial, sexual discrimination, obesity discrimination. It's very obvious right? But how do these people get discriminated via genes? They have genetic detectors or something?

Unfortunately, since I have become painfully aware of how the nation(s) of Islam are waging war in just about every corner of the globe... I have to admit that my caution flag goes up every time I meet a muslim man, woman or family, and though I am cordial, I find myself assuming the worst until proven differently.

Is anyone else wrestling with this and willing to admit it?

Do you believe a cell phone would work in a casket 6 ft. under-ground? If so, would it be considered a long distance call?
It might be a good idea to take a phone with you in case 1. They buried you while you were still alive though they said you were dead; 2. If you cross over to the other side, you can let us know what its like, then it would be a long distance call.

Can a society itself be regarded as moral or immoral? If so, should we or should we not accept the idea that if society does wrong, it is because it does not know better- as Socrates believed was the case in morality of an individual - i.e. a person does wrong out of ignorance, not malice. For instance, in Elizabethan England, one method of abortion was simply to wait until the infant was born, and then to smash him/her against a wall. Remember how Victorian England used little boys as chimney sweeps- they would be burned, become deformed, break bones, and often die. Shall we fault Germany of the 1930s and 40s and call it an immoral society? Not to make the question too politically charged, but shall the 20th/21st century Western World be looked down upon for its tolerance of modern-day abortion?
What do you have to say about all this. Please give a thoughtful response, if you do respond. Thank you.

Once the epiphyseal plates of the long bones have closed, further height is considered impossible. Considering that height, or lack thereof, has considerable sociological ramifications, will it be possible to one day "choose" our height? Many of you know that shorter people are on average paid less, date less, and are respected less. A recent study revealed that shorter people may even be less intelligent.

I already know about growth hormone for children, but the maximum height you can gain from it is 3". I'm too old for it as it is.

Can biotechnology, nanotechnology, future medical technology help allieviate this disease to the people it has already inflicted? We already have the "Ilizarov Method," or 'limb lenghtening' method as one form of primative invasive biotechnology.

Recently, an ultrasound device has been developed by scientists to regrow teeth. It may be one day used for people to gain height. Please read the attached link. When do you think this will happen?
