thanks, i will check out skinner, i'm covering maslow atm.

Actually, The largest independant oceanicographic insitution says half.

maybe you should check your information buddy

Fair point and as i said i agree with you, i actually meant to put support in the last check box.

Fat and sugar are really the culprits in junk food addiction, you can 'liken' it to drugs because high-fat and high-sugar diets release opioids in the brain that reduce the feeling of being full, and in turn the brain becomes addicted to it's own opioids as it would to morphine. drugs just have a bigger and faster effect.

In any case too much of anything is bad for you.

Where do we draw the line on this though? It is not mcdonalds fault they are supplying a need because it's there, people need to take there own responsability. Or maybe the next big service to people will be rooms filled with pillows

I think the question is more about social accepting polygamy or not

but yeh, people should be able to have there own relationships via decision/approval by all parties without the government impeding

I actually quite agree with you!

"If one doesn't have the courage to stand up for what is right, they don't even BEGIN to measure up to the tyrant. The problem needs to be solved, regardless how it got there" is well said

just the one point. I do think a tyrant is a creation of society. the misguided reasons are what makes him, and he has to get those from somewhere

like Hitler as the easiest reference

I was merely saying that positive reinforcement is superior to negative. I was tired when i wrote that and i must say i thought at the time, the issue of effects of parenting and or imposing laws on kids with positive admonishment vs negative scolding was a little clearer... I see that it wasn't by far and for this i apologise.

so let me start again.

the biggest number of juvenile offenders are born to dysfunctional families they live in poverty or suffer from a variety of social problems, including poor physical and mental health and also familial abuse and discouragement. So when minors act out extralegal behavior they are seen as victims of improper care, it's seen as a sign that the state should step in and take control of youths before they engage in worse crimes.

This problem of gangs, failing from school and teen sex, as you put it, is alot broader then slapping a curfew (bandaid) on this situation (i'll stop here and say teen sex is a different issue, and not really something a curfew would ever stop.) A curfew won't stop criminal behaviour from Kids who've grown up in deprived conditions. Truth be told Curfews have no discernible effect on youth crime, infact most studies show cities with the stricter curfews have the highest rate of youth crime. It's a status violation that, in effect generates dissociation between youths and government

im pretty busy today but i hope u reply DrOppotimus, I would like to continue this

But please refrain from 'kid' or other derogatory remarks. Spirit of argument and all that jazz mate

It's a horrible restriction, regardless, if the reason were sound. Such as Environments that aren't safe for the wellbeing or education of children.

I still see that's it's a negative action and would create negative effects

Think of this, If you smack or possibly beat a child when he is wrong. They will grow up and smack and beat there child when they are wrong (base argument)

Instead of positively reinforcing reliability you are negatively enforcing it

It just seems to me, a bandaid solution.

but of course your right, you also voted against the rainforest being saved, which is the main reason why i am disputing.

I was going to further say that Trees/plants produce half the worlds oxygen, Phytoplankton produces the rest. So to all you spongebob fans, take it easy on Plankton hes a cute and also helpful little bugger

tobacco is a drug - and also is banned from advertisement in australia

i agree with most of your points except that one,

People get lonely, They suffer from the effect of the society we live in, that makes it hard to meet people,

im sure a huge customer base are deviates, but some people just need some contact. If they are finding it in the wrong places thats entirely up to them
