  1. Before I view your video and answer your questions, I must ask, what are the reasons humans of any sex do anything? Is it not true that males strive to be successful in order to mate? Is it not true that females strive to be attractive to attract a mate? There are exceptions, of course, but if you recognize human nature for what it is, what can be the explanation for depicting nude children as art?

    Not only do I not know what they're worth, but I have no earthly idea what you're talking about.

    ...Dres

    Then why even respond? The question wasn't directed specifically @ you.

    You beat me to it....So the next question will be how much hours per week/day we spend in SL.

    Or if we spend real money and how much,  where we live, if we consider our avatar a real identity.....and so on.

     

    I find your reply rude and unnecessary to my question

    Rude and unnecessary is what it does best.

    If you have no experience in the matter why do you insist on insulting someone on a public forum? You can not know from this post if they are just looking for freebies or not, yet you insist on deriding them for asking a simple question.

    I didn't think he was speaking for all gay people. (BTW,
    gay
    is not a noun.)

    He said
    I
    , not
    we.
    Even if he had, he could have been using the "royal"
    we
    , no?

    If I said that I liked the video, would you think that I thought i was representing all "gays"?

    My bad. I forgot there was more than one gay here. Gay can be a noun, by the way.

    noun

    • a homosexual, especially a man.

    The LL terms of service are not the same as federal requirements for the protection of human subjects.  Common sense says that you should follow federal requirements for the conduct of research.

     The only issue I raise with student research is the failure to meet those basic requirements.  I say nothing about the research posted that appears to be following those requirements.  

    All of us have some responsibility to assure that students make the most of their education. 

     

    We do? Since when? What do you propose that we do, alert the Federal Government that a person is asking questions on a video game forum?

    That is a decision for the IRB.  You should go talk to them.

     

    No, genius, that is common sense. As long as it does not violate the Community Guidelines a person is free to ask any question they want to on the forums. As has been pointed out, responses are voluntary.

    Nowhere in your profile or the link in your signature do you give any credentials as to your professor status, nor do you need to. However, your constant harassment of students on these forums has become tiresome, you have no right to behave as though you are somehow these individuals' professor just because you chose that as a screen name.

    Even if you are a professor, you still cannot claim that right.

    If you are so concerned about the validity of a student's approach to their research, why don't you, as an educator, contact their school yourself? Please post the results of such conversations, as I am sure they will be well worth a laugh.

  8. Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:

    Dear Dr. Laura:

    Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the other specific laws and how to follow them:

    When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

    I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

    I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

    Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

    I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

    A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

    Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

    Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?

    I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

    My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

    I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
