- This isn’t perfect but it is a good start Who is supposed to be the watchdog on the net? This question will raise the temperature in almost any room. The government already has to many regulations on lots of things, who wants Uncle Sam’s hand in the web. Some of the regulations that are applied are there for specific reasons.

Not the scale that one must measure up to be considered intelligent. Gardner’s statement says that the test can predict how one can handle certain situations. Is sitting down with a professor of some sort for an hour answering questions going to determine how well you can handle yourself? I don’t think so. The only real way these handling skills can be tested is by grading the test takers experience. The test can not predict how a person will act in a street fight or ...

- 19206: Right-Wing Hypocrisy
- ... groups. These groups preach that anyone who disagrees with their opinion is anti-Christian and therefore an agent of the devil. I disagree totally with that assessment. Just because someone is pro-choice or doesn't attend church regularly doesn't mean he is not a good Christian. I thought the teachings of Jesus encouraged tolerance and forgiveness, not persecution. For instance, these groups preach "family values", with the father working, the mother cooking and cleaning, and the kids being subservient to their parents. I am surprised more women don't find this sexist and offensive. Roles in each individual family are, and should be, different. People should adapt to life based on their individual talents, not on what extremist politicians tell them to do. ...

Greed may well affect one's pursuit of either, but they are two entirely different "goals". Greed for love is not always easy to find, but it is out there. Many people have greed for love because they did not receive enough love when they were younger. People try so hard to find love that it becomes an obsession; they look everywhere for it, and when they finally find love, it's still not good enough. That is when greed steps in.
