Have Girls Really Grown More Violent?
Aug. 11th, 2003 02:50 pmThis is an interesting question and I wish it was more in depth.

This is a nice little paper on what is new in the theory of natural selection.

While I love Religion and Ethics weekly, I really think they dropped the ball on this story. A lot of the concerns they focused on about cloning are not unique to cloning. Of course the clone wouldn't be exactly the same person as the orginal. If a person was cloned to replace someone how is that any different than having a child after one dies? Also, the idea that the clone would have troubles defining who was their family and what their relationship with the people around them is one that annoys me. There are many different types of families out there which proves that the notice of family is flexiable and wouldn't be destroyed by allowing cloning.
on that note, i don't think they should clone human until they perfect the process.

Yet Another Reason to Not Marry

I'll comment on each one here:
1 & 2) I agree with both of these tips. I think a year at least is good. I don't like the idea that the man has to propose though but that is me.
3 & 4) Rings, I don't believe in engagement rings, the whole idea of being bought is stupid (i know, it is a gift but there is that undertone) and if the woman is proposing to the man, what then? Basically, I think one of the questions to ask is "Does she even want a ring?"
5) WHAT?! Yes, I would want to tell my parents but they really don't have any say in the matter and asking my dad's permission would piss me off and not be touching.
6 - 10) OK, i got sick of this article. This is full of romantic stuff. Going down on one knee? A year to plan a wedding? Having an eleborate proposal? BAH! Oh, the wedding date one was pretty good, you should be able to talk about that right away.
I guess I am not a romantic and I guess I don't really believe in marriage. If I ever do get married it isn't going to be with all this stuff and why would I wait for the guy to propose?
