It's really more a part of civilized society to be in monogamous relationships than it is an essential part of evolution. <br /><br />I definitely think that there is value in a relationship. I think spending your life with a person with whom you are in love makes life better. But I'm okay with taking some time to get there.<br /><br />You might like my post on monogamy. <br /><br />Sorry for the delay in reply.

About a C- student at that. <br /><br />At any rate, my question to you is...at what point are friends, (and many of us confuse friends with aquaintances, after all how many TRUE friends do we really have?) and family not fulfilling enough? As humans and members of the animal kingdom, aren't we really meant to ultimately be with someone as a bonded pair?<br /><br />DerekDerek Baumanhttp://www.facebook.com/inbox/?ref=mb#/home.php?ref=homenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096683755683301952.post-6380102383845376062009-11-04T02:34:21.587-05:002009-11-04T02:34:21.587-05:00very truevery trueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096683755683301952.post-40503709490984436892009-08-23T10:49:19.367-04:002009-08-23T10:49:19.367-04:00i am not referring to a faith in a higher power, a...i am not referring to a faith in a higher power, a faith in an afterlife, or the like.<br /><br />it's more like faith that that improvement is possible. otherwise, what makes you think your relationships could improve? without some sort of faith, it's all a matter of chance. by the mere attempt to be proactive, you are acknowledging that change is possible- so a faith in change. i'm not even remotely talking about god here. more along the lines of faith in having a hand in your fate.<br /><br />faith is a belief not based in proof. whether it's that there is life on other planets or that true love exists. whatever.dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13267068862893871921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096683755683301952.post-47796836066516631872009-08-23T10:36:53.638-04:002009-08-23T10:36:53.638-04:00as a lifelong agnostic (i neither know nor care wh...as a lifelong agnostic (i neither know nor care whether there is a god... i know it seems odd but my sister feels exactly the same way so maybe there is something genetic to this mindset), i have to say i disagree. i don't know what is going to happen to me after i die and it doesn't matter to me. there is no way to know for sure so why waste my time worrying about it?<br /><br />it's not faith that gets me through the day and want to make myself a better person. i do want to improve, both personally and in terms of my relationships with other people. i think what motivates me is just wanting my life to be as good as it can possibly be at any given moment.<br /><br />so maybe i have faith in the possibility of improvement? i don't know. now i am confused.lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02757412748648257783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096683755683301952.post-32958972993153471322009-08-21T23:48:36.153-04:002009-08-21T23:48:36.153-04:00Awwww...

There are several points...Here is my point of view. There are several points you are making, all of them correct, but would like to add a few comments.<BR/><BR/>First of all, I do not believe much to individuals that predict certain things to happen and then come out when they find out they were right. Why? The reason is simple: there are over 6 billion humans in this world. That means there are 6 billion opinions and predictions out there. Chances are someone will get one right, while the rest will be wrong. How many people predicted the world was going to cease to exist around the year 2000? And here we are still blogging.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I have to agree that the future does not look bright for anyone in this world. As you say, this is a cycle that feeds of itself, a vicious circle.<BR/><BR/><BR/>First problem I see is that all we've been taught was wrong. Our parents told us to be professionals: our jobs being outsourced to other countries. We were told it is always safe to invest in land: sucks if you learned this in CA. We make desicions based on the past and we never look into the future.<BR/><BR/>Second, humanity swings from one extreme to another. A few months ago we were indeed driving Hummers and SUVs until we made this situation unbearable with $150 oil. Months later, inventory of hybrids and compact cars was depleted until oil drop to $40. A few weeks ago, lots of people went looking again for trucks and SUVs since gas is $1.50/gal. Do you see the pattern?<BR/><BR/>Third, you have a divided country. There is the people that believe the government has no control on this, that world economy cycles, that global warming is fake, and when asked about the current crisis, the reply with a simple "Come on! this is the USA!". Then there is the other extreme, people that suddenly sold all their cars and got a Prius, that complain when you throw away a candy wrapper instead of recycling it, that believe that we are going to hell for all the bad things we've done on earth.<BR/><BR/>Why can't we find a balance? The housing market went from one extreme to another: from multimillion dollar houses in CA to 1 dollar homes sold in Detroit (no kidding, a house really sold for a dollar in Detroit). The energy crisis went through the same: people saw our huge dependency on oil, jacked up the price. But people responded to it, part got hybrids, others cut back on driving. The world found that the oil price was too high, back to an extreme low.<BR/><BR/>In the mean time, there is two different groups of people that will experience different outcomes. The politicians, big companies, powerful investors will benefit from all swings: selling expensive oil, promoting expensive solar/wind energy, trading with high and lows with markets. Then you got the people that lose: the poor guy that needs to drive with expensive gas, the one that needs to pay taxes to fund the government incentives to install alternative energy that should have been here long time ago, the guy that lost all of their savings and 401k in the stock crash, and possibly lost their job.<BR/><BR/>Will there be riots? Possibly. Will there be a tax revolution? Maybe. But whatever happens, expect it to swing with full fury from one extreme to another.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096683755683301952.post-14586704948374541172008-12-06T17:18:00.000-05:002008-12-06T17:18:00.000-05:00When does monogamy come into play?

Open relationships, if that's what you want to call it, is cheapen by the promiscuity of the individuals within this so-called bond. But as long as it does not conflict with their morals and they can live with themselves, its admissible. On the other hand, a committed relationship requires monogamy. It really does not require much thought. What is the value of your character and reputation if everyone has had their turn? No body wants used or damaged goods in this department. It’s fine if you want to practice promiscuity or monogamy. The point is take responsibility for the decisions that you make and stick with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096683755683301952.post-86703930926517374762008-07-21T03:50:00.000-04:002008-07-21T03:50:00.000-04:00What a bitch!

It is a prime example of letting an intellectual imperative defeat an intrinsic one. The fact that men are inherently polygamist is irrelevant.<BR/><BR/>An ethics professor once told me that while the fact is that the lion eats the gazelle, it is not necessarily right. The gazelle did not deserve to die, per se. Who says the gazelle ought to die and the lion live due to sustenance provided by the gazelle. <BR/><BR/>One quality of being human is our ability to defeat our intrinsic imperatives with better intellectual and rational, replacements.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096683755683301952.post-37111230203785674722008-06-30T12:16:00.000-04:002008-06-30T12:16:00.000-04:00WTF?
