In what case do you give someone a negative rating

coolcatzz @coolcatzz (1587) • Canada 25 Feb 07

I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on this. I have no problem going through and rating responses and I know when I should give someone a + which is pretty obvious. My question is when do YOU give someone a negative rating. For...

Fallingleaves I have given negative ratings to posts that are off-topic, dont offer input, rude and disrespectful. I dont think a negative rating should be given for yes or no questions. If you asked for their opinion, that would be different.

Fallingleaves I'd have to say computers already rule the world. Computers are everywhere even moreso with the developing nanotechnology. But, you are speaking of artificial intelligence where a computer doesnt need human programming and computers can 'learn' by absorbing...

Fallingleaves I am from the U.S. and yes, punishment as you describe is not legal. When children act as you describe, who's fault is that? And why are those who are at fault beating the child? I know first hand that raising children is not easy but abuse and violence does...

Fallingleaves I had the same situation with my daughter. She did not want to sleep in her own room but I told her it was time for her to be a big girl and besides, all her stuff was in her room. Helping her decorate and personalize helped a lot along with a soft night...

Fallingleaves I think the best way to deal with a bully is to take a stand and let them know in no uncertain terms will you accept or submit to their behavior. My daughter complained about a bully and each time I told her to stand up to this other child until - she had...

Fallingleaves There were a few times when I was younger and said, I wished I had done whatever it was at the time. So, to avoid the feeling of regret, I just went and did whatever it was I wanted. For good or bad, I still felt good by living/learning from the decision I...

Why do good people suffer?

albert2412 @albert2412 (1782) • United States 18 Feb 07

Why is it that the good people in life have to suffer and the bad people seem to have everything? You have seen it, regardless of what country you live in. Do you think that there is a reason why does not God help us?

Fallingleaves That is a really good question/discussion. I am more interested in doing good for others than material gain. Really in the end walking the good path is more than having everything. The good path is not necessarily easy but keeping faith at the forefront makes...

Do you believe in eternal fire of hell?

achyuta @achyuta (2851) • United States 14 Feb 07

According to me this eternal fire theory is crazy. Think about this. If a son is disobedient does a father throw him away for eternity or burn him in fire? NO. How can the all merciful Lord do that. it is all the bogus propaganda...

Fallingleaves In our beliefs there is no evil. The language or prayers, which are sacred, have no words that describe evil. When I read the Bible, Lucifer is not the opposite nor even close to being equal to God, but rather a subject of God's that did not agree with God's...

Fallingleaves I believe Grandfather exists and the evidence is all around us. What we perceive as harsh and cruel is naught for the laws of nature. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and we live our lives for the ultimate goal - to evolve our souls.

Is it now within the best interests of the US for Bush and Cheney to resign?

Snooze @Snooze (610) • United States 11 Jan 07

Their ideas were bad to begin with, and have continued to get worse. The resignation of both men - would it benefit the US for them to do so?

Fallingleaves I think they'd both have to go. If bush gets impeached (which i doubt), then cheney is prez.
