Thats just dumb. Do you have any idea how many cars there are in this world??!!

Islam is the only religion that grows in numbers every year. Every other religion is dropping in numbers.

Sure why not? You can challenge any religion you like but what makes you think I am against abortion based on my religion?

are you suggesting that abortions are already "outside the law"?

No.....I was responding to the post that "people will just get illegal abortions anyway" I was simply pointing out that is not a good reason to keep or make something legal.

"Besides, making certain recreational drugs legal allow certain societies to control it better"

Considering these drugs are NOT legal, you have no proof to back that statement up. Secondly, you cannot compare the 2. Abortions would most likely go down if it was illegal as most people would be too scared to do them illegally.

Hmmmm......where do I begin????????

I will start with the worst regret......"I do"

;)

OK first off, I was referring to your comment about childrens feelings. Secondly, in every case you mention, violence is not needed. As I already mentioned, if you are talking about strict discipline, I agree, if you are talking about hitting someone, then I disagree.

Hitting children should always be an option - never completely disregarded and never abused. Some parent manage to raise a kid straight without beating them - great. Some parents manage to raise a kid straight while beating them - great.

NO, hitting should not be an option. The parents that feel this is needed, should learn a thing or two from the parents which you point out, can raise their children without violence.

BTW you CAN respect AND fear a person. Just so you know.\

Yes you can. Parents are not one of those people. You should LOVE and respect your parents, not fear them.

The education system is probably the best example of how their feelings play the biggest role.

Could you provide an example?

I'm sorry... your second paragraph just shows you're sitting their with stupid questions but not answers...

Questions you seem to avoid answering.

Being interested in psychology you should have a clue about how many westerners are obsessed with their feelings and how it filters through the whole society.

In what way?

For someone who is attacking others, you seem to lack facts and reasoning yourself.

Ofcourse feelings have an importance - doesn't mean the world should run on them.

I noticed you avoided the question about whether you are a parent. I assume not, because you do not understand the connection between a child and parents feelings. Your child being upset, angry, scared etc, will make you feel all the same things. Now, that doesn't mean they should get whatever they want but, at the same time, they should feel that their parents care about them.

And no I don't just mean raising a child or beating a child. I mean in everything. Education, work, home, law, police etc. I feel the world has gone too soft.

I agree that the world has gone too soft, I just don't agree with hitting a child in any circumstance. If by tough love, you mean strict discipline I agree with you.

Why not fear your parents or more accurately fear the consequence of bad behavior?

I do not feel fear should exist when it comes to parents. I have always listened to my parents, even in adulthood and I have never feared them. The only thing I feared was disappointing the two people that would do and give anything for me to be happy and successful. Teaching respect will get you a lot further than fear.
