Do children with higher IQs tend to go on to become vegetarians?
Q. I don't know if it is true or not, but a British Medical Journal reported that children with higher IQs tend to go on to become vegetarian. Does that mean that children with lower IQs eat meat? This is pretty much all the proof we need. It is obvious that eating meat is something we need to put behind us. Society needs to switch over to a vegetarian diet so we can have a more civil society. Kruger, very good answer. savs, your level of ignorance is surpassed by no one. To the rest of the meat eaters who replied to this question. Yes, I typed replied, because they are replies, not answers. An answer actually answers something. First, let me say, your conscience is obviously trying to tell you something. The reason you reply to my questions… [cont.]

A. Again you fail to provide a link... Here it is. You will also notice that the difference is only 5 points, not a major difference. If you also read carefully you will notice that 100 out of the 366 vegetarians used in this study ate fish and chicken therefore ...they are obviously not vegetarian ... therefore completely voiding your argument.

Should children be allowed to grow in tribal communities with huts and no education, in civilized countries?
Q. In tribes, where parents and children share and sleep on the floor, inside a single small hut. There's no modern appliances, nor water pipes or electricity, no real medicine, nor real education. Or should the parents be forced to move to a decent modern place or forced to at least send their children to school or have their kids taken away? A single hut, also means in some tribes or cultures, that love is made between both parents at night in that hut regardless of company.
Asked by Darian - Fri Feb 22 12:05:13 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. And who are YOU to decide to wipe out the way of life, and culture, of a people you can't even understand? Forcing parents in such tribes ( and there are so very few of them left in the world nowadays) to move away from the only home and life they have ever known, just so you could be satisfied that their kids are going to grow up in what you THINK is a "normal" environment, is tantamount to cultural genocide, Darian. Most of these parents could not survive in the modern world without special help and support- the world they were born into and grew up in is the only one they know. Doing what you suggest would mean that these people inevitably become burdens on the government and taxpayers of whatever country they live in. Plus, has it ever… [cont.]

How do parents who have children without autism deal with raising an autistic child?
Q. As in, they already had children without autism, then they have a child with autism. How do the parenting skills change?
Asked by Izzy r - Tue Oct 14 20:12:06 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Im 14 years old. I have a brother and he is autistic and he is 13. I know from seeing them all the time that autism can make the parents life so much more stressful (including mine). But, i know patience is a big thing that changes when they had my brother. My dad isnt very good with that but i know my mom sure is. I mean, my brother is pretty smart (above the average smartness level of autism), he can read, write, spell, and do math. I know that having an autistic brother changed me completely, without him, i totally would look at life so much differently. It makes me appreciate autistic people and mentally challenged people way more than i would if i didnt have my brother. Also, ive been thinking of becoming a special teacher. But yeah,… [cont.]

  • Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea...Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
  • You can't raise a child in a vacuum. All that carpet dust will clog up the kid's lungs.
