Kindly leave your money unmarked on the corner of Mary Avenue and Little Circle, Kentucky, in the little manhole, and turn your television to CNN, FOX, or any news show what follows horrendous terrorism on the day what precedes father's day. Thank you for your kind business, sir, we hope you continue to shop with Terrorists-R-Us in the coming winter holiday season.

The only action that leads to ending *hurt* is to hurt so horribly that no hurt can ever hurt again. Causing the world to end is typically not judged to be a moral action, therefore whether or not it hurts is not *wholly* whether or not it is moral. You are just making things too complicated. Feeding a baby bleach is an immoral act, because bleach is bad for you. Preventing someone from feeding a baby bleach is a moral act. Simple.

I really enjoy doughnuts, however I don't eat them all day every day. People who do eat doughnuts all day every day, do have something wrong with them, and that's not counting the fact that they would be land whales. Doing so demonstrates a complete lack of will power and self esteem. Someone who has sex 20 times today is almost garunteed to have unresolved issues from the past.

Seems more equal to me, either everybody can be a slut or no one Slut is gender specific Gigolo is also gender specific. Hooker, whore, sex worker, and sub are not gender specific. Pimps are men. Madames are women. Trannies are whatever they say they are, until you pay enough that they'll take your emotional abuse to better survive until the tourist season.

Preventing someone from feeding a baby bleach is a moral act. Simple. Feeding this baby will continue its resource drain upon you, thereby causing you hurt and all whom you come into contact with further pain. Feeding this baby is an act of cruelty, forcing it to exist in a world where it will find considerable pain. Perhaps the baby is Pol Pot, and you are enabling genocide by not killing the baby. Regardless, the baby will grow up to hurt others, you have the power to stop it now... but will you take it, or will you in your weakness allow still another life to manifest... to dominate the universe as all life is designed by its continued survival? Simple morality? Sure. Stupid? Certain. (July 22, 2014 at 7:12 pm)Alice Wrote: The issue for me wasn't about enjoyment. I really enjoy doughnuts, however I don't eat them all day every day.

Nothing is 'wrong' until it is, and it only is when one believes it is. If they're having a great life, and they eat a lot of doughnuts because they're delicious and they love them: it is entirely up to that individual as to whether they're doing something that is 'wrong' or not. Their self esteem and willpower come into play only if they recognize the behavior as 'wrong', and are too pathetic by this point to solve it except by gorging themselves further in depression. Of course, others around are certain to judge them, because others will judge everything else under the sun and beyond it and they are no exception.

That's hardly a way to make friends, but hey, maybe you'll come across someone who likes it. You know... like battered men who're having a bad trigger-ful day, where you're just a little frosting on the tip of the cakemix that they were just mocked for, and are being made to wear in their trousers in the Texas triple digit heat (which is most certainly not a dry one).

Not sure if someone has mentioned it yet, but most studies which try to conclude a large wage gap exists just look at the average amount women earn and compare it to men.
The problem is, most women go into education with the thought of children in the back of their mind, so they generally don't take subjects which lead to long careers with plenty of career progression (e.g computer science, engineering). In addition, even if women do take these subjects and start a career, some of them take between 10 - 15 years out in order to raise children, meaning they don't build up those years of "experience" that men do (and experience is a large contributing factor to promotions and higher wages). When you account for these factors, the wage gap shrinks from women earning 75c for ever dollar a man earns, to 97c for every dollar. So the wage gap certainly exists, but it's nowhere near the level most people claim. The former figure is akin to claiming ageism because 20-something's earn less than 30-something's on average.
