It depends on the circumstances.

Rubbermonkey - we are not living in the Stone Age any more. There are many civil and human ways of sorting out differences or getting your point forward. Develop good communication skills instead of fostering unhealthy and destructive ideas for expressing your disapproval or anger. It even works better coz violence and harshness only results in a similar rebound... and will work against your initial intention. With love and peace for you and your friends - God Bless - :)

Yes. You're led on the path that you want to go on...\nReward and punishment (in this world and the next) keep \npeople in check. Although we have free choice, there is an overall plan. Each person is positoned according to his/her choices,etc. \nStay on the "straight and narrow"!

I think it is B, too.\n\nAnswer a) & c) will increase the resistance. Decrease diameter will make the "path" much narrow. Increase length will make the path much longer.\nAnswer d) could increase or decrease the resistance\nAnswer b) is the only answer for sure to reduce the resistance

I am not sure if I got the correct meaning of your question, but I guess the answer, if you are asking the number of possible paths in such a network, is 2*n*(n-1) in the case of one-way paths and n*(n-1) when talking of two-way paths.\n\nThe reason is that, in the one-way case, each of the n nodes may be linked to any of the resting (n-1) nodes in one of the two possible ways, making 2*n*(n-1). In the case of two way paths, only one path linking each of the nodes exists thus the n*(n-1) number.\n\nYou may be asking the number of possible networks, which would be a more interesting problem. If this is so, please ask another question.

That rehabilitation and counseling prevent recidivism (committing the crime again) better than sentencing someone to jail for a non-violent drug crime.  It focuses more on getting the person help for their addiction and trying to keep them off drugs and turn them into a productive member of society.

The Islamic tradition is not a violent one, in fact most Muslims are very strongly opposed to violence in any form.  There are a small number of extremists who have misinterpreted what the Quran says and use this as a justification for violence.  An honest, open, and unbiased (as unbiased as any of us can get) reading of the Quran will show you that not only does the Quran not encourage violence, it actually actively discourages it.\n\nJust for the record...I'm a Christian, I have no ulterior motive here.

If you're anger or upset about something, you will be preoccupied with that thing and pay less attention on the road. In addition, you might turn into an aggressive driver (driving fast and dangerously). On the other hand, if you are happy, you will most likely drive slower and be watchful of the road.

i wouldntsay its more cruel than man but its definately more dangerous.  in a battle of man versus nature, nature always wins.  the reason you could not characterize nature as being cruel is because it has a set of boundaries and rules that we can scientifically prove.  earthquakes for example are cause by different tectonic movement that is inevitable and can somewhat be calculated.  war on the other hand can be declared over night for no reason. Man would definately be considered more cruel than nature.  antoher example to look at is the tsunami that struck thailand a few years ago. it occured because of movement along the earths crust that could not be avoided according to science.  hundreds of thousands of people died because they were n the wrong place at the wrong time.  the holocaust woul be an example of mass destruction caused by humans.  the nazis set out on a mission and searched for people of jewish decent with the intention of killing them.

Nope. The earlier the better. "Teach a child the straight path, and he will never stray from it."

Harris Interactive, a survey research company, has conducted several studies on safety and violence among youth.  Many states have conducted research in order to comply with the No Child Left Behind Act's detrimental labeling of a "consistently dangerous school".  You can find these resources on the internet (check out some of the links below).\n\nMy opinion is that learning how to deal with something empowers you and gives you a sense of competence or control, so I would rather have the measures in place rather than the hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil approach which simply gambles that nothing bad will happen.

Good point, if instruction were the only reason for punishing someone.  However, there is also deterrent value ("Don't you other people kill someone or you might end up dead yourself like this guy"), and prevention value ("Well, he won't be killing no-one no more, what with being dead and all").\n\nI think what you are touching on is the age old dilemna between 'an eye for an eye' vs 'turn the other cheek'.\n\nAddition: Can I just add to Apollo (below), thanks for the advice in thinking before I type.  I wonder how long you thought before deciding that killing someone will not prevent them from commiting more crimes?  That's what prevention value means.  Also, when you assert that it's been proven that executing murderers does not act as a deterrent, I think that's the sort of thing the 'source' field is for.  Sorry I seem to have upset you, but there's really no need to insult me in return.  By the way, I didn't mention in my response whether I am in favour of execution or not - please refrain from presuming you know the answer.

I am not sure what your question is. Assuming that you are asking about what factors contribute to nonviolence, the answer lies in history.\n\nHistorical and religious figures (Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira, Gandhi, King) have realized that violence breeds violence. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.\n\nIt is this disenchantment and futility of violence as a means of problem solving that has contributed to the realization that nonviolence is better.\n\ncc

how about these:\nviolence - a teen's fact or fiction?\nteen movies - violent or not?

Nah.  I tend to question any links between God and any religious organization that relies heavily on violent means to an end.  To me, if the basis for any religion is not the promotion of world peace, harmonious existence, and peace with nature, the religion is not a true reflection of God's will.

NEITHER - It's not the number of steps, but the rate at which you climb.  It takes essentially the same amount of energy to climb to the top regardless of stride length.  Duration of the exercise is more important than the intensity, generally speaking.  Just do what feels best.

Self-harm, mostly.  I am quitting in "baby steps".   I stopped self-cutting, but still self-biting and self-punching.  At least I see that as a small improvement from cutting.  :-/   I also abuse diet pills.  Again "baby steps".  That is an improvement from laxative abuse.  :-/\n\nI am working on it, I am working on it!!!! :-p
