Think of the ramificatons of the situation before you go through with it. If the end results aren't worth the trouble don't do it. Think of ALL the options because there is always more than one. Don't do anything that would hurt yourself or those around you.
Conflict theory is a perspective in sociology that views society as being in a constant state of conflict and competition, particularly between social classes, over scarce resources. It focuses on how power dynamics and inequalities shape social relations and institutions. Conflict theorists emphasize the role of conflict in bringing about social change.
The seven heavenly virtues are chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. These virtues are seen as positive qualities that individuals should strive to embody in order to lead a morally upright and fulfilling life.

He was tall, with green hair, green eyes -- though his right was brighter than his left and he had a scar running from his brow to his cheek -- beige skin and wore only his miliatant pants, the shirt was of his own. The door gave awya a soft click before his deep footstes flooded kitchen. I had forgotten how late I had stayed and before I knew I was hoping he would walk past me, not notice me; thish appened before, two years ago and though I couldn't help but throw myself I was praying for my selfcontrol. Thump Thump Thump Sick, that was what this was. I wanted him, but he wsn't me, sadly though we were humans and sex was a basic need -- real or imaginary -- he used it as a weapon, while I used it as a drug. We were both wrong, both horrible people, but as his firm hands gripped my hips from behind, there was no space left for anymore sin. I could laugh right now; I pulled the gold band from my fourth finger and he removed his silver back from around his neck, took them in his hands and threw though in the corner, a ching and chang chimed before it was silent. As the night began and our clothing was out bed and our body heat was our covers a picture of my husband flashed into my mind; or so I hopped. Standing in the door way, his face paled over and a prostetic leg for his right stood Larry and beside him was a woman who was jsut as hysterical. We had been caught, the doors had been opened. They walke into our room. ~i WROTE THIS! YEP. I am hoping that what ver you are using it for is great. Good luck. My name is Latiah. Good luck!
Absolute The opposite of relative, conditioned or dependent. The idea of the Absolute dates back to pre-Socratic times. For Plato, the Ideal Forms were the Absolute. For other philosophers the idea has been associated with that of the Godhead. Certain rationalist thinkers, such as Spinoza, held the Absolute to be an all-encompassing principle and the true source of all reality, as did the idealist philosophers, most notably Hegel.A Priori Something known to be true or false prior to experience. Its opposite would be a posteriori, which is knowledge derived from experience.Aesthetics The branch of philosophy that deals with the nature and expression of beauty, or in Kantian philosophy the branch of metaphysics concerned with the laws of perception.Agent The self that acts, chooses, and decides as opposed to the self that knows.Agnostic One who believes that God's existence cannot be proven, but doesn't deny the possibility that God might exist.Agnosticism The belief that no proof can be given for the existence of God since the concept of God like those of soul, immortality, and first cause lises beyond the reach of the human mind, which can only know the world of natural phenomena.Atheism The absolute belief in and denial a=of the existence of a God or Gods.Atomism The Theory of Democritus and Epicurus, among other, which claims that the entire universe is composed of minute, indivisible and indestructible particles.Cynic A member of a school of Ancient Greek philosophy, namely Cynicism, wherein virtue was seen as the only good and selfcontrol as the only means of attaining virtue. Cynics not only showed a complete disregard for pleasure, but also expressed contempt for human affection, preferring to find fault with most individuals for their lack of virtue. Diogenes was perhaps the most renowned Cynic.Dialetic A greek Term originally used to describe the Socratic method, according to which argument and reasoning took the form of dialogue.Epicureanism Named after the Greek Philosopher Epicurus, this strain of moral philosophy advances the claim that pleasure mainly understood as the avoidance of pain by opting for intellectual pleasure, needs to be understood as the basis for leading an ethical life.Pantheism The doctorine that identifies Gods or gods with the forces and workings of nature.Presocratic Of the time before Socrates.Stoicism The Greek school of Philosopy founded by Zeno of Citium around 308 BC. The Stoics believed that happiness lay in accepting the law of the universeand advised equanimity in the face of good and bad fortune alike. They held that human beings would be happiest of they freed themselves from passion and calmy accepted all occurences as the result of divine will.Theism Most specifically the belief that a single God is present in the world as well as transcendent.
Answer ADr. Zakir Naik in his book 'Answers to non-Muslims common questions reply to this questions' as;Alcohol has been the scourge of human society since time immemorial. It continues to cost countless human lives, and causes terrible misery to millions throughout the world. Alcohol is the root cause of several problems facing society. The statistics of soaring crime rates, increasing instances of mental illnesses and millions of broken homes throughout the world bear mute testimony to the destructive power of alcohol.1. Prohibition of alcohol in the Qur'anThe Glorious Qur'an prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verse: "O ye who believe! Intoxicants and Gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an Abomination - of Satan's handiwork; eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper." [Al-Qur'an 5:90]2. Prohibition of alcohol in the BibleThe Bible prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verses:a. "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever isdeceived thereby is not wise." [Proverbs 20:1]b. "And be not drunk with wine." [Ephesians 5:18]3. Alcohol inhibits the inhibitory centreThe human beings possess an inhibitory centre in their brains. This inhibitory centre prevents the person from doing things that he considers wrong. For instance a person does not normally use abusive language while addressing his parents or elders. If he has to answer the call of nature, his inhibitory centre will prevent him from doing so in public. Therefore he uses the toilet.When a person consumes alcohol, the inhibitory centre itself is inhibited. That is precisely the reason that an inebriated person is often found to be indulging in behaviour that is completely uncharacteristic of him. For instance the intoxicated person is found to use abusive and foul language and does not realize his mistake even if he is addressing his parents. Many even urinate in their clothes. Neither do they neither talk nor walk properly. They even misbehave.4. Cases of adultery, rape, incest and AIDS are found more amongalcoholicsAccording to National Crime Victimization Survey Bureau of Justice (U.S. Department of Justice) in the year 1996 alone everyday on an average 2,713 rapes took place. The statistics tell us that the majority of the rapists, were intoxicated while committing the crime. The same is true in cases of molestation.According to statistics, 8% of Americans commit incest i.e. one in every twelve to thirteen persons in America is involved in incest. Almost all the cases of incest are due to intoxication of one or both the persons involved.One of the major factors associated with the spread of AIDS, the most dreaded disease, is alcoholism.5. Every alcoholic was initially a social drinkerMany may argue in favour of liquor by calling themselves 'social drinkers'. They claim that they only have one or two pegs and they have self-control and so never get intoxicated. Investigations reveal that every alcoholic started as a social drinker. Not a single alcoholic or drunkard initially starts drinking with the intention of becoming an alcoholic or a drunkard. No social drinker can say thatI have been having alcohol for several years and that I have so much selfcontrol that I have never been intoxicated even a single time.6. If a person is intoxicated just once and commits something shameful, it will remain with him for a lifetime.Suppose a 'social drinker' loses his self-control just once. In a state of intoxication he commits rape or incest. Even if the act is later regretted, a normal human being is likely to carry the guilt throughout his life. Both the perpetrator and the victim are irreparably and irreversibly damaged.7. Alcohol is prohibited in the HadithThe Prophet of Islam Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:a. In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No.3371."Alcohol is the mother of all evils and it is the most shameful of evils."b. In Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No.3392"Anything which intoxicates in a large quantity, is prohibited even in a small quantity."Thus there is no excuse for a nip or a tot.c. Not only those who drink alcohol are cursed but also those who deal with them directly or indirectly are cursed by Allah.According to Sunan Ibn-I-Majah Volume 3, Book of Intoxicants, Chapter 30 Hadith No. 3380.It was reported by Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), that ProphetMuhammad (pbuh) said:"God's curse falls on ten groups of people who deal with alcohol. The one whodistills it, the one for whom it has been distilled, the one who drinks it, the one who transports it, the one to who it has been brought, the one whom serves it, the one who sells it, the one who utilizes money from it, the one who buys it and the one who buys it for someone else."8. Diseases associated with alcoholismThere are several scientific reasons for the prohibition of consumption of intoxicants i.e. alcohol. The maximum number of deaths in the world related to any one particular cause is due to the consumption of alcohol. Millions of people die every year only because of intake of alcohol. I need not go into the details of all the ill-effects of alcohol since most of them are commonly known. Below is a simple list of few of the alcohol related illnesses:1.Cirrhosis of Liver is the most well known alcohol associated disease.2.Others are Cancer of Oesophagus, Cancer of Head and Neck, Cancer of Liver (Hepatoma), Cancer of Bowel, etc.3.Oesophagitis, Gastritis, Pancreatitis and Hepatitis are linked with alcohol consumption.4.Cardiomyopathy, Hypertension, Coronary Artherosclerosis, Angina andHeart Attacks are linked with heavy alcohol intakes.5.Strokes, Apoplexy, Fits and different types of Paralysis are linked with alcohol intake.6.Peripheral Neuropathy, Cortical Atrophy, Cerebellar Atrophy are well-known syndromes caused by alcohol consumption.7.Wernicke - Korsakoff syndrome with amnesia of recent events, confabulations and retainment of memory to old events with different types of paralysis are mainly due to thiamine deficiency due to excessive alcohol intake.8.Beriberi and other deficiencies are not uncommon among alcoholics. EvenPellagra occurs in alcoholics.9.Delerium Tremens is a serious complication that may occur during recurrent infection of alcoholics or post operatively. It also occurs during abstention as a sign of withdrawal effect. It is quite serious and may cause death even if treated in well-equipped centres.10.Numerous Endocrine Disorders have been associated with alcoholism ranging from Myxodema to Hyperthyroidism and Florid Cushing Syndrome.11.Hematological ill effects are long and variable. Folic acid deficiency, however, is the most common manifestation of alcoholic abuse resulting in Macrocytic Anemia. Zeive's syndrome is a triad of Hemolytic Anemia, Jaundice and Hyperlipaedemia that follows alcoholic binges.12.Thrombocytopenia and other platelet abnormalities are not rare in alcoholics.13.The commonly used tablet metronidazole (flagyl) interacts badly with alcohol.14.Recurrent infection is very common among chronic alcoholics. The resistance to disease and the immunological defence system are compromised by alcohol intake.15.Chest infections are notorious in alcoholics. Pneumonia, Lung Abscess,Emphysema and Pulmonary Tuberculosis are all common in alcoholics.16.During acute alcoholic intoxication, the drunk person usually vomits, the cough reflexes which are protective are paralysed. The vomit thus easily passes to the lung causing Pneumonia or Lung Abscess. Occasionally it may even cause suffocation and death.17.The ill effects of alcohol consumption on women deserve special mention.Females are more vulnerable to alcohol-related Cirrhosis than men. During pregnancy alcohol consumption has a severe detrimental effect on the foetus. Foetal Alcohol Syndrome is being recognised more and more in the medical profession.18.Skin diseases are also related to alcohol indulgence.19.Eczema, Alopecia, Nail Dystrophy, Paronychia (infection around the nails) and Angular Stomatitis (inflammation of the angle of the mouth) are common diseases among alcoholics.9. Alcoholism is a 'disease'Medical doctors have now turned liberal towards alcoholics and call alcoholism a disease rather than an addiction.The Islamic Research Foundation has published a pamphlet that says:If alcohol is a disease, it is the only disease that:- Is sold in bottles- Is advertised in newspapers, magazines, on radio and television- Has licensed outlets to spread it- Produces revenue for the government- Brings violent deaths on the highways- Destroys family life and increases crime- Has no germs or viral causeALCOHOLISM IS NOT A DISEASE - IT IS SATAN'S HANDIWORKAllah (swt) in His Infinite Wisdom has warned us against this snare of Satan.Islam is called the "Deen-ul-Fitrah" or the natural religion of Man. All its injunctions are aimed at preserving the natural state of man. Alcohol is a deviation from this natural state, for the individual as well as for society. It degrades man to a level below that of the beasts he claims to be superior to.Hence the consumption of alcohol is prohibited in Islam.Answer BYes. Alcohol is absolutely banned in Islam. It is banned to buy it, to sell it, to carry it, or to drink it. Islam absolutely prohibits the use and taking of intoxicants or mind-altering drugs, including alcohol, cocaine, heroin, etc.Alcohol is prohibited not only in Islam but also in Judaism. It was also prohibited in Christianity since it is prohibited before Jesus (in Judaism religion and Jesus was Jewish) and after Jesus (in Islam religion).One finds no single reason justifying drinking alcohol or the like? is it good for health?.. is it good to have your mind absent and losing full control on yourself when got drunk? is it good to drive while drunk? is it good to spend money on alcohol rather than on useful food or giving this money for charity?Alcohol and narcotics (Cocaine and Heroin, etc..) are prohibited by Islam, and other heaven religions, for the benefit of humanity.
