A. Male homosexuality was illegal in Britain until 1967. The death penalty was applicable until 1861. After that, homosexuality was punishable by imprisonment. The writer Oscar Wilde, who went to prison in 1895, is a famous example. Of course, homosexuality was acknowledged and accepted in some circles. It was obviously quite common among the aristocracy. (Several well-known aristocrats were caught with their trousers down at a gay brothel on Cleveland Street in London in 1889. They were rumoured to include the son of the Prince of Wales. The rent boys got light sentences and none of the clients were prosecuted.) Immediately before the First World War there was a movement to have homosexuality accepted by society in general. In 1909 the… [cont.]

A. I think a state of nature would evolve. Originally, it would look rather like the cinema world of Mad Max, and truly exist as a Hobbesian state. But the human brain is hardwired for order. It's why we see patterns in clouds and ink-spots. As a species we need order, continuity and predictability; and thus, over time, new government would emerge. My suspicion is that the first government would be dictatorial and based on the "strong man" who knock heads together and create order from chaos. But eventually it would soften to something more moderate. Bottom line, I think the Lord of the Flies is a better description of the state of nature; and that it would not be a happy place.

A. I believe each one of us have some violence behavior in some way. The thing is we need to find a way to release it. You can yell, scream or bang yourself to the wall. But putting the anger to hurt someone is always the last thing to go. If people can't control violent behavior, I think Anger management class is a best resource for them.

A. No. Hobbes was describing man in the "state of nature", which we obviously don't live in anymore. His description can, and does, apply to many people, but as it applies to humanity in general I don't find it holds up. My life certainly doesn't fit that description. Solitary to an extent, but that is by temperament, not imposition.

How did human beings develop altruism?
Q. Animals carry within themselves traits such as violence towards other animals, a pack mentality, defending their territory, killing other animals for their survival and along with these a form of altruism as well. If human beings are a special creation by a divine power then why do they carry with them the same brutish survival traits we see in the animal world? Wot do you think?
Asked by Irish Girl (20th account) - Sat Jul 10 19:57:24 2010 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Animals also show altruism. It is part of the evolutionary path that leads to a species survival. Some tool using Chimps will share tools as an example. And there are fossil records that suggest that early man would care for the infirm. It other words, it is part of the natural order. And if you are going to realize your full human potential, you have to actualize your own native altruistic tendencies. Good luck. Kuma

A. The root of all evil is whatever is irrational and lack of rationality is lack of reasoning. There are no examples in history of people being bad and evil because they were too rational, because they reasoned too well without logical fallacies. There are no examples that show that when a person reasons too much, he causes persecutions, enslavement, destruction of property, murder, torture, becomes drunk with power and abusive, wishes to elevate himself by pushing others down, cheats, lies, robs, lives by fraud, etcetera. One does all these things precisely because he is not rational! Rationality is the only faculty that separates us from the animals.

The people of Gaza -1.5 million cannot escape due to the illegal zionist blockade.

At this point sovereignty is their only real option and it is a very good option. The alternative is a bloody civil war followed by a brutal dictatorship under the hated Mo Dahlan.

A. Doing what that person suggested is known as aversive conditioning. You use that for training dogs and such...but definitely not on babies. If you really want to teach your baby not to suck his thumb, just gently take it out of his mouth, and nicely tell him not to do that. You may have to do it alot, but eventually he'll get it. Just be patient. Of course, he will figure it out on his own.
