To the op - Thanks for posting on this. It confuses the heck out of me too. Women aren't considered property anymore (at least in Western society), so whether or not she's had sex has no bearing on her potential economic value as a bride. And men were never told that had to be virgins when they...

MrMoe, who the heck have you been talking to? I like action/adventure and thrillers, especially prone to espionage. Violence doesn't bug me, as long as it's not ketchup blood (except Monty Python). Mature comedy (ex - the opposite of The Hangover). Really anything that makes me think. My idea...

I know this is kind of old, but I stumbled on it and couldn't help replying. EndlessSerenade, I agree with you full on. Quality of life should be extremely important in bringing a kid into the world; ethics are inherently situation based. As much as possible, every relative factor should be...

Women in the military are not tom-boyish to the point of being butch. I do wear make-up and high heals on a regular basis. I'm not a big fan of skirts; pants are so much more comfortable. The Navy is not just a bunch of water-logged pilots and SEALs. I'm an officer who works with computers. I do...

You know you're a geek when you... Linguistically analyze just about everything Speak/want to learn twelve languages Have a hard time resisting the urge to rip apart just about anything you own with an 'on' button and reprogram it to work the way you want it to (Or just that you can) Can...

I am so with you on this. I joke that I was old before I was born; mentally, I'm two or three times my physical age. lol My friends are still trying to figure out what they might want to do in life while I know more or less exactly what I want. I try to have a serious conversation about serious...

INTJ Just about as left-brained, driven, type-A as you can get. lol

That's a cool idea. Like a lot of people have said, do whatever makes you guys happy. if and when I get married, I'll probably take my husband's name but keep my mainden name professionally. I like people who think out of the box. :)

I'm probably the minority in this, unless you go by this article, but I believe that in cases of defense - including preemptive measures - that torture is acceptable. The context of war dramatically affects ethics. If you have to employ torture to extract information that will save the...

For what it's worth, which probably isn't much, I think your sister made the right decision. I can't imagine how hard that must have been for her and her husband. I hope she's doing well. To me personally, it doesn't make any sense for a woman to risk her life for a fetus/baby that has a near...

I'm sick of all these people saying that women should get held to lower expectations. All of us are going to have to face the same things in the battlefield. As long as women are willing to train up to the current standards (equal expectations), I don't see why not. In the military, women are in...

At the risk of taking heat for this, I am glad Osamba bin Laden is dead. It dealt a huge blow to fundamentalist Islam. Yes, someone else will always undoubtedly take his place (or whoever follows after him) and it won't affect the people who are already involved. However, if you're some...
