    Study: Liberals, Conservatives See Mixed-Race People Differently

    If you don't agree with the results of the research does that count as an attack towards you? Is it a surprise that liberals/conservatives would view people differently? Is this inherently bad?

    You are right. I need to improve my skim-reading skills.

    Study: Liberals, Conservatives See Mixed-Race People Differently

    Why is it politically correct to notice that a person may be mixed? It is not entirely correct to call a mixed person just one race as I see it. Also most mixed people I meet do not look like president Obama, they vary is skin tone, hair type, eye color, facial features. Is anything not white...

    Study: Liberals, Conservatives See Mixed-Race People Differently

    That is rather interesting but why is this the case? Any ideas?

    Get out of jail free card for mothers

    Obviously I agree with most posters here that this is wrong. It is wrong on so many levels, but an important one would be just what moral example does this give children?

    Is being a SAHM a waste of an education?

    I've seen men with strong opinions on this too but not strong opinions on how other men parent. Yes I think men are far nicer to each other when it comes to parenting. For the life of me I don't understand why so many people; men and women feel the need to put women down for their choices...

    Is being a SAHM a waste of an education?

    I agree with this. I think this topic should be made into a non-issue. Why should you have to defend wanting to work or wanting to stay at home? I may be a SAHM but I believe both approaches can bring some good things to the table. I don't believe you should only work if struggling either... You...

    Is being a SAHM a waste of an education?

    It depends entirely on how you see education. If you are only educating yourself just to get a job and make a return on your investment (college) then being a sahm (forever) is a waste of time but if it was also for the knowledge and the development of your reasoning skills it will never be a...

    Feelings?A Luxury?

    I don't think you are correct. You are correct that when you are starving your main focus is on finding food. However the other needs still remain. Especially for the working poor with such high competition for resources. I did respond to this point in another thread I think.

    Conversations with Staff in Married Forum

    I don't usually comment here I felt compelled to post. There is no need to minimize someone's situation to make your point. I agree divorce should only be advised where a spouse/children are likely to be physically harmed or in the case of adultery/abandonment. However depression is a very real...

    inappropriate contentography reaction

    I'm sorry but are you serious? Yes the people are actors who are engaging in sex to appeal to (mostly) men. Doesn't God demand we have intercourse only within a marriage? I don't really see why so many feel it is important to defend something so sinful. There can be things you enjoy which are...

    inappropriate contentography reaction

    You are watching one, two or maybe more :o people naked and doing sexual things. These people are often not married to one another and you are watching and deriving pleasure from their sin.To make it worse these people are putting on a show for you. I feel exploitative. The whole aim is to...

    tolerating unequal outcomes

    What if you could not swim? What if you had been swimming for so long you were too tired/exhausted to continue on without help? I don't understand why those who need help are mocked by you. Well to the poster who asked I would be very grateful to anyone who threw me a life jacket.

    tolerating unequal outcomes

    If a child has to work full time to help support their families then how are they able to get an education to gain skills that will make them employable in this future? You have a class of people continually at a disadvantage with their peers who through no merit of their own were born to...

    Would you send a child to boarding school?

    By "bratty" I was being kind. I have asked for help on this forum with how to deal with him: http://www.christianforums.com/t7709124/ He is slightly better now. I just think if he stays with us he won't achieve all he can achieve. If my son ever got to be half as bad as he was I would...

    Today in 'ground-breaking' research

    Yes and I consider 99.99% of statistics to be false ;). I think high levels of obesity are due to people eating too much sugary and fatty foods combined with not working those calories off with hard exercise. All my children know how to cook and are under 15 years of age. A housewife is just...

    Today in 'ground-breaking' research

    Do you mean to say that you could not clean a house or prepare a meal? If you can do that then you are half way there. To function as a single person most young people need some of the skills a housewife uses. And as for "keeping a house" personally I ascribe more value to other things like...

    Not to me. Especially in this age of convenience. It is something pretty much anyone could do.

    Today in 'ground-breaking' research

    I think if it was just a housewife then "blame" would be appropriate but they list sahm's under that title too ;). I think under the list of all the things your children could grow up to be/do housewife really isn't much of an accomplishment though "blame" is a really strange word to use. I...

    Common sense is not all it is cracked up to be. There are many things in science that would seem otherwise if we just used commonsense. I think it is worth finding out if "common opinion/feeling" actually has some truth to it. There are some people who think we choose entirely what we wish...
