Do religious people attempt to sabotage the education system because they prefer an uneducated society?

admin — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 13:34:23 +0000

It’s a trend the world over; the better the education system is and the more educated people in a society are, the less religious that society is, the less money is made from religion and the less religious meddling goes on in politics. This is one of those trends that works backwards as well as forwards because the worse the education system is in a country and the less educated people are, the more religious that society is, the more money is made from religion and the more religious meddling goes on in politics. Why can’t people see that religious people have a clear motive to keep society in the dark and treat them like mushrooms?

Crime and Its Impact on Society

admin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 01:04:48 +0000

Exactly what is crime? Simply put, crime is an act that violates the rights of a person, or persons, or their property. That’s a rather simplified definition. The actual definition is much too long for this article. But crime is not only a violation of a person or persons; it can also be an act that could endanger the lives or safety of the public in general. An example of that type of crime could include the firing of a weapon inside the city limits. By discharging a firearm in a populated area, you endanger the lives of all who live within the range of that particular weapon. The bullet could ricochet and hurt an innocent bystander, or if fired into the air, it could come down and injure someone. By firing the weapon in a populated area, the person who fired it has demonstrated a wanton and reckless disregard for the safety of others.

Crime affects us all in one way or another. Because of that, society has enacted laws designed to protect every man, woman and child. For instance, the person who shoplifts from the local department store causes all of us to pay higher prices for the products or services we need. Let me explain. When people shoplift it costs the company they steal from money because they had to pay for that product and they got nothing for it. They just lost money. Now imagine four people a day shoplift products totaling $20. In seven days they lost $140. But what if that company has 100 stores nationwide and each store loses $20 a day. That comes to $2000 a day, $14,000 a week. Multiply by 52 weeks a year and you get a whopping $728,000 lost every year. Now they have to implement security measures to control their losses. And it isn’t cheap. They have to install cameras, hire security people to watch the cameras and walk the floor, insurance for those people not to mention the salaries for each of them. On top of all that there is the cost of prosecuting
all those shoplifters.

Many companies spend millions every year to prevent theft. The money lost from stolen products, money spent on security and wages for the security staff has to be made up somewhere. Guess who has to make up the shortage? You guessed it. You, the honest shopper, ends up having to pay higher prices for the products and services you want.

But the price you pay for crime doesn’t stop there. You don’t get off that easy. Once the lawbreaker is prosecuted he/she has to be incarcerated. Housing, clothing and feeding criminals is expensive. In 2007 a local newspaper, The Sacramento Bee, reported that the average annual cost of housing prison inmates in the California prison system was $43,287 per inmate. In 2008 TV station WHAS in Louisville, KY. reported that the average cost of housing an inmate in KY. was $20,000. WHAS also reported that Kentucky has the fastest rising inmate population in the country, causing huge money problems for the people of Kentucky.

Crime costs all of us in higher prices for food, clothing, etc. and in taxes to pay for housing criminals once they are prosecuted.

What are the merits of profit in a civilized society?

admin — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 15:05:53 +0000

Doesn’t the concept of profit seem outmoded in this modern world, where its only function is the stifling of growth. Do you believe that if money and profit were taken out of the picture, humans would still be driven to innovate and produce things that benefited society as a whole?

What is the most money you would be willing to pay for a puppy/dog from a humane society?

admin — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 09:30:26 +0000

We are looking to adopt a new puppy/dog and I have seen prices from $77.00 up to $300.00.
In my opinion $300.00 is alot for a humane society when you can go to a breeder and buy a dog for about the same or a little more.
What do you think?
Both the $77.00 and $300.00 include sterization and 1st round shots (for puppies) or current shots (for grown dogs)

In a Capitalist society, money, and the ability to buy larger things (such as houses, and the latest technology) motivate people to work. What would be the incentive in a Socialist society; working for the greater good of others.

How can we as a society try to reverse the rate of divorce?

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 02:31:25 +0000

In my opinion, its too easy for people to get divorced. Needless to say, some will have legitimate reasons. But too often, people get divorced for such trivial arguements and things its laughable.

What happened to “till death do us part”? What about kids that have to live in a messy situation until they are 18? What about all the money that is squandered with divorce? How can we reverse the divorce rate?

This is a detriment to our society and must be reversed. This is also leading to a decline in birthrates.
Redisca, FYI, I WAS in that situation so I can talk about it.
I was in that situation as a kid.

How can any form of insurance function smoothly in a capitalistic society?

admin — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 14:32:00 +0000

Health, Auto, and Financial insurance. How in a capitalistic society can everyone be happy since supposedly in capitalistic society YOUR MONEY is ONLY YOUR MONEY? Your money is what YOU have worked for? It seems like insurance and capitalism has nothing to do with each other and can’t function without making a big mess.
