You can't systematically desensitize and train men to objectify other people for the purpose of killing for us, and at the same time, expect those same men, in those same conditions, to be...

There are two different aspects of education to be addressed by any reform: what's good for the individual student and what's good for society.
The people who legislate funding for schools are...

Sometimes. But they also include prominent socially responsible persons who collect a large following and can communicate important information very efficiently.

Somebody else's shameful or guilty secret can be burdensome, especially if you can't help them. The real identity of someone who doesn't want it known; how much your boss is padding his expense...

Different persons, different behaviours, different circumstances require different reactions. Pick you fights/arguments/accusations carefully and space them as far apart as possible.

75% extinction of life on Earth within the next century.

Symmetry existed in chemical forms, long before there were biological entities to evolve. Consider that all organic matter is made up of molecules that were symmetrical, and it becomes obvious why...

Margaret Atwood: 'Oryx and Crake'.

Yeh.

(That's the most adorable daemon i've seen all day.)

There are no throats on the internet*. Nobody can see your body-language or hear your intonation and emphasis. They can only see the black symbols on the grey screen: what you type is all there is....

Indeed. And also, far too often, license the self-anointed interpreters of a principle to control our minds.
Animals who live in nature, without an agenda beyond minimizing pain and maximizing...

Philosophy, of course. More specifically the human social contract - a very elusive mental meeting-place. Even biology can be a bit... er, a bit difficult ... with theists.
Business Communication is...

A believer in what?
Yes, language is very complex, indeed, and so is psychology. Rigorous education in the application of language - meaning, spelling, grammar, syntax, paragraph structure, and...

I found the ending quite satisfactory. Too bad about September, but he was doomed all along. It's an intriguing enough series to be worth buying the DVD. Good story and dialogue; terrific acting;...

As for the hare and the tortoise, they do not choose a life-style and do not follow a school of thought: they live as best they can with what they are and what they find. (God doesn't come into it.)...

If you are asking seriously, consider that tortoises live 100-150 years; hares live 8-11.

For sure. But a kid dying because their parents sat with him all night in the waiting area of an overburdened, underfunded emergency room is never going to make the news. The only news we care about...

The outrage would be far greater, if it failed, especially in religious communities.
In a case as simple as pneumonia, there is a good chance that an alternative treatment could have saved the baby...

Different kinds of lives also afford more opportunities to experience, to understand, to empathize and to develop spiritual maturity.

Lightning does, in fact, strike over and over in some places. Religious craziness does, too.

True. But growth without limit or planning isn't really progress; it's just rushing to extinction.
The other, and probably more relevant in the current application, reason is that the members of...

I imagine one restriction would be whether an item is perishable, or needs refrigeration. So, peanut butter is always a good choice, while meat may not be.

For nutritional value, you can get a...

There are probably a hundred or more sensations involved in your experience. Nerves transmit information to the brain, which then sends the various data to the relevant sections for processing; then...

How come a pre-litrate, mostly naked African tribe can manage common resources equitably for thousands of years (before European incursion), and no modern industrial nation can manage either...

Maybe it was meant only for people who get it.
