sapphiresage Agreed! Unless you're in a country where uncut is the norm, most women are going to be turned off at best, repulsed at worst by it. We had our son circumsized the day after he was born. It never crossed my mind not to; it's just the norm in my family and...

Why not blame the bullies for Virginia Tech?

Drakhan @Drakhan (240) • United States 19 Apr 07

I want to get this off my chest. Cho Seung-Hui killed 32 people at Virginia Tech. It was an evil, violent act and he should be condemned for it. However, I'm a little annoyed at the way people are reacting. Over and over,...

sapphiresage What people who say "oh there are alway bullies" don't understand is that it is a process of erosion. A person can be bullied for quite a while without going anywhere near the edge. But it is when it happens for years on end, with no relief, that it begins to...

If a person is on death row and gets sick, should they be treated?

littlemissmistress @littlemissmistress (187) • United States 27 Mar 07

I'm sitting here watching an episode of House MD, and he brings up a good point. A man on death row develops a heart problem and needs treatment to stay alive. Should they do so? I am torn on the issue myself. The man is...

sapphiresage Repenting doesn't undo the damage the criminal has done and doesn't change a death sentence. The criminal chose not to act like a human being, and in my book, gave up the right to be treated as one.

sapphiresage I'm not looking for a scapegoat. I'm examining what drives people to do this sort of thing. You can only truly fix or change things if you really understand how the dynamic works in the first place, and that does require a closer look at cause and effect (as...

sapphiresage The schools in my area do not allow bullying, either. But guess what? It happens anyway. The kids are just not as obvious about it when teachers are looking.

Children left in cars unattended...What do you think?

firecracker @sacmom (14192) • United States 16 Apr 07

I went to Orchard Supply Hardware (AKA OSH) with my oldest son yesterday. While we were walking towards the store, from the parking lot, I happened to see two little boys, (who looked to be about 3 and 6) in a minivan, alone, with...

sapphiresage A kidnapper could just as easily point a gun at your kid inside the store, too. So are you going to stop taking the kid in the store? Kids bring weapons to school and could harm your child; are you going to stop sending the child to school?

How Has Suicide Affected You?

lifeluver @lifeluver (743) • Canada 12 Apr 07

Several years ago, a really good friend of mine's 12 year old son committed suicide. I could not immagine what could have made that poor young man think his life was no longer worth living. To this day, I still remember that young...

sapphiresage Exactly, indium. It's so easy for those who don't experience depression and suicidal thoughts to set up a hotline and feel like they're doing something. I found it interesting that one person posted that they were angry that the person took their life...

What was the R.E.M. song used at the end of the April 4 episode of Jericho?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 13 Apr 07

I can't get that melody out of my head, it's so haunting! It was the episode where Mayor Anderson gets shot. At the end of the episode, they were playing this R.E.M. song, and I don't know the name of it and it's driving me...

sapphiresage Thank you!! The only part of the song I could remember was about "the dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had"...it's that line that just kicked me in the gut and made me want to know what song it is.

Should there be a warning label on baby formula?

mamacat @mamacat (22) • United States 9 Apr 07

sapphiresage That is a behavior that has nothing to do with the liquid and everything to do with the method used while formula feeding. By necessity, mothers must hold the child close while breastfeeding. This builds a strong bond between mother and child. There is,...

The -illegals- in the US are demanding rights. How absurd is that?

sapphiresage @sapphiresage (431) • United States 8 Apr 07
