Well that's your choice. But it doesn't mean that everyone feels the same was as you. Basically, surely women should be allowed to do what they want?

(Wasn't sure whether to support or dispute this...)

They should have an equal chance to career, but do whatever they heck they want (within the law...) I don't want to say ALL women need a career, but I wouldn't want to say that about men either.

We're not slaves to the food chain- by implying that we are, surely you're saying that basically, humans have no free will.

As a vegetarian, I might be somewhat biased. I think that is definitely right for me- I'm a life long veggie, and have never regretted it. It's wonderful to have an ethical, healthy diet, and I've found that my meals are more creative than non-vegetarian friends, since we don't have a staple central point like meat.

My actual answer would be: Yes, in religion, along with another range of creation beliefs. It makes no sense to promote one creation story above others, and certainly not in a secular science class.

Oh no! I, in turn, wasn't implying that you implied that...

I mean the argument in general. Men can have control over themselves.

I think it's good within certain limits. I went to a school with a uniform, and it was far less stressful than non-uniform college. I'd argue that it's a leveler- prevents people from showing off material wealth/ making others feel bad for not having 'cool' stuff.

But it can be taken too far. By the end, we weren't allowed coloured socks, which was idiotic.

No, because

A) people shouldn't be allowed to ban something just because it contains an alternative (and not particularly offensive) viewpoint,

and B) there is no satanic element!

Rape is about power, not just sex. Plus, I wonder whether levels of rape increase in areas where little to no clothing is the norm- for example, beaches, or pools. If not, that would seem to imply that it's not about clothing.

It seems just a little offensive to imply that men are unable to look beyond outfits.

They are easily justifiable, the issue is whether the justification is good enough.

(In my opinion most are).

I can understand not wanting to have a child that is a product of rape, or incest, or whose quality of life would be very poor. I can understand not wanting to raise a child in a loving environment, or in an environment that isn't fit for a child.

1. Is that feeling (sense of right and wrong) present in almost all individuals--an indication of a God given moral law?

No- if that were the case, I feel there would be more consensus. I'm not arrogant enough to believe that my beliefs are shared by everyone, but others choose to dismiss them, and I know what I feel.

2. Or does it simply reflect what we have been taught by our parents?

Not merely our parents. All of society. Parents, peer groups, media, etc.

3. What is its source? Where does it come from?

Social pressures. presumably values had practical benefit at first, and then became enshrined in tradition. Of course, those like "Do not murder" are still most relevant, which could explain why they are near universal.

4. What is its purpose?

For us to coexist together.
