| silvershield: that's the trade off.... you either open up completely or risk ruining things because you aren't connecting enough.... tough to open up completely sometimes...
but it's worth it once you find someone that is equally willing to open up to you |

| I think you're assuming too much about the article.
The article talked about regeneration of limbs not total human regeneration. It would solve many problems but it wouldn't put humans in a state of immortality. |

| way to take that out of context.... he was just as racist about whites and he was abouts blacks...
that probably doesn't make him racist....  |

| pffft.... close enough
it's not like anyone is going to do it.... he's been in power for 6 years and no one has stopped him.... what is likely to change? |

| hrm.... so, which international organizations do you have in mind that can do this? | |||

| well.... you want to give more power to an organization that barely does anything anymore and itself is corrupt from top to bottom? | |||

| ||
| I totally agree. The whole system is open to corruption and abuse. | |||

| I have a serious question.
What influence does the patriot act have in this situation. Is there any way that that act could have some sort of permission for wire-tapping? |

| it is real.... as in, some guy hooked a computer up to the lights and programmed them to flash like that...
look just left of the house. There is a light that flicks on and off at a set interval that doesn't correspond to the music. plus, the guy has been in the news.... had to stop doing it because it caused an accident and traffic congestion |

| fair enough.... I really wasn't sure so I figured it might be possible that that may apply | |||

| you know, it sounds to me like democrats are just trying to find a way to impeach Bush since Clinton was impeached....
this isn't the first time I've heard people call for impeachment of Bush... and it probably won't be the last now, I haven't followed what has happened... nor do I care overly.... I just think it's stupid. |

| yeah well, not everyone follows the rules.
I'm sure the FBI, CIA and NSA ask for permission before they do anything. And I'm sure they follow all the rules all the time and never do anything wrong. |

| I think it's useful on young children... and by young I'd say under 6 or so. Maybe 7 or 8.
After that age you should be able to talk and reason with a child about what problems are occuring and how to solve them. Before that you are trying to reinforce somehow that a choice the child made was wrong and you can't teach that easily by "loving" the child. You can reinforce good behaviour in a child.... but not so easily bad behaviours. |

| we're still at war because leaivng the region would totally screw it up, not because of faulty intelligence.
How many people has Bush wire-tapped? Who are they? And why were these wire-taps picked? Maybe we should look into that information before we start deciding whether to impeach. Maybe these wire-taps have saved lives. |

| I don't think anyone here is saying that spanking alone is the way to raise kids/a family. If you do you may want to rethink having kids.
However, spanking is an effective way to get a point across and in no way can be considered beating. (Assuming of course that we consider a spank as a bare hand across the butt one time). Consistency is key. A punishment needs to be immediate to be effective. If it's not then the message gets lost. It's hard to take anything away from a kid following his mother in a shopping mall or at the grocery store. A spank however would get the point across quickly. Plus, spanking is a quick punishment when the parent (like many do) has little time. max: do you think yelling at your sister and getting angry at her is better or worse than her getting a smack on the butt? I'm gonna steal this quote from Kutske to prove my point. "I don't understand why parents beat their children, when emotional scarring lasts so much longer." |

| well, I'll play the devil's advocate and ask:
"who do you all think should pay for this person to stay alive if her own family can't afford it?" (now remember, this is just a question to add to the debate.... it doesn't mean I'm for killing people) |

| shares responsibility? [laugh] you're condemning a lot of people with that statement. So everyone that votes in an election is responsible for the actions of the leader they vote for? that makes no sense. We aren't making his choices for him. He's doing what he's doing. Democracy allows the people to pick who they want. The people picked Bush. Guess what, you're stuck with him. You'd be singing a different tune if Kerry had been elected and then did something like this. You'd definitely not be saying that we all share responsibility then.
and yes it does matter who pays the bill. this woman didn't have the money to be kept alive and no one would pay to keep her alive. She was dying. As in no hope of survival. According to that article that is part of the decision. Further treatment is hopeless. So instead of prolonging this woman's suffering and the suffering of the family/friends they put her to rest. You can all call it murder. I call it mercy. (edited by geeogree on 01-04-06 11:47 AM) |

| okay, I think something needs to be explained.
Your parents (speaking to everyone) grew up in a time where beating your kids (and literally beating them black and blue) was expected to keep them in line. So your parents grew up with that same mentality. However, in the last 10-20 years we've started to realize that spanking/beating isn't the only way to punish a child and it's certainly not the best way to deal with problem children. So what has this caused? Threads like this really and people thinking that spanking is the worst thing that could ever be done to a child. I was spanked as a child, a young child. When I did something wrong I would get a swat on the butt and my parents told me what I did wrong and tried to explain why it was wrong (which is nearly impossible to do to a 2-5 year old). Once I was about 6 or so they stopped doing it because they could speak to me and I could understand on a level that I couldn't before. I agree that spanking can be overdone and can cause emotional harm. I realize that there are kids that are beaten when they do something wrong by their parents. However, in all of this I don't think the problem is spanking. If a spank is what I defined it as earlier (one swat on the butt) then it's not doing much harm. It's when the parents screams and yells and repeatedly hits a child when it's doing harm. I agree with you guys that children shouldn't be taught to fear their parents, but unfortunately lots of kids now don't fear or respect their parents at all. 8 year old kids swear at their parents and the parents don't do a thing about it because they might emotionally harm the child. Okay, maybe I'm crazy, but if an 8 year old child is swearing at his/her parents, there has already been emotional harm and dysfunction and unless something is done it will only get worse. I also don't think spanking should be the first thing that gets done. If a child does something wrong and knows immediately that they are going to get "hit" for it, they will be fearful of making mistakes. However, if it is a last resort method of punishing a child (ie taking away toys/privilages, timeout etc isn't working) then it will do more good than harm for the child. |
