Military life, will i regret it?
My husband is halfway through his military career. So far we have managed to stay close to our families. If he stays in (& at this point it would be pretty hard to convince him to get out), we will likely move far away. Maybe far, far, far away. I have a nice job. My parents are in their 60s. But... I would love to see the world, it's always been a dream of mine. I'd love to show my kids the world. I'd love to see my husband succeed. I think staying close to family is possible even when you're far apart. Am I wrong? Are we making a huge mistake?

Is there a categorical imperative dealing with homosexuality?
I was just thinking about Kant's moral theory, and this question hit me. Kant believed that the only way to test the morality of an action would be to evaluate whether it would be consequentially if everyone was to do it (for example, picking the flowers in a botanical garden is considered immoral because if everyone was to do it, there would be no botanical garden.) If everyone was to become homosexual, the human race would die out from a very low birth rate. Since Kant's formulations state that morality is the spawn of practical necessity, does this mean that homosexuality is immoral according to Kantian deontology?

Do effects matter more than causes for a certain experience?
Do you think if you were trying to determine whether an experience was mental illness or a spiritual experience that the positive effect would matter more than what caused it? So basically do you think the end result determines the basis of being psychotic or a person being influenced by the divine? Just interested in all of your opinions.

How would a rule utilitarian judge this scenario?
"Hello, can anybody please help me figure out the concept of rule utilitarianism? I don't really understand what it means. Does rule utilitarianism mean that ""if everyone where to do this, how would it affect society in general?""And how would rule utilitarians act upon the following scenario:Alexis, a gifted high school student, wants to become a doctor. Because she comes from a poor family, she will need a scholarship in order to attend college. Some of her classes require students to do extra research projects in order to get an A. Her high school has a few older PCs, but there are always long lines of students waiting to use them during the school day. After school, she usually works a part-time job to help support her family.One evening Alexis visits the library of a private college a few miles from her family’s apartment, and she finds plenty of unused PCs connected to the Internet. She surreptitiously looks over the shoulder of another student to learn a valid login/password combination. Alexis returns to the library several times a week, and by using its PCs and printers she efficiently completes the extra research projects, graduates from high school with straight A’s, and gets a full-ride scholarship to attend a prestigious university.My question for the scenario about is what how would rule utilitarianism say about Alexis' actions?Thank you very much!"

Has technology made social interaction with people better or worse?
Social media websites have their advantages because they allow you to keep in contact with so many people, and it's a lot easier to communicate with people. I feel these advantages come at a price though. Online social interaction does not replace personal interaction with real people in real life. I feel like all this technology is just isolating us.

Why is life so hard for some and great for others?
"I'm 15 and I just don't get. My life isnt happy now and I don't get why bad things keep happening to my family. I know it could be a million times worse and that I have it pretty good, but why do some people have no problems?My parents just recently got divorced and that's been hell for me and my two brothers. My one brother who's a senior in high school is just barely passing and stressing my mom out way to much. My oldest brother who is a sophomore in college is living at home because my mom can't afford him to go to normal college because my a**hole father isn't paying anything for him. My brother just wants to have a normal, fun college experience that most people have and he deserves it so much. I just don't understand why he doesn't get to experience that. I go to school everyday and sit at lunch and hear about how my friends ""don't get to go out this weekend because their parents are being gay"" and that's their biggest problems. At least they have loving parents, not one who is working 3 jobs for me and my brothers and a dad who is an alcoholic. I just don't get why my mom, 2 brothers, and i deserve this. I go home to fighting because no one in my family is truly happy. And then there's the fact that people have it worse. I was watching the news and some 4 year old boy got shot to death! What is wrong with this world?! How can someone have a perfect life where everything goes their way where another person 20 minutes away is living on the streets trying to keep their kids alive and one of them gets shot. I just don't get it! What's causing all of this in our world and will it ever get better, like after death? I'm sorry if I sound ignorant and immature, it just really bugs me."

How can I ask my manger the truth about me?
"All of my co-workers is saying that my manger is disappointed in me and that I'm slacking off. I think I'm still a hard worker. I work harder than anybody else in my store.But everyone is saying that she disappointed in me.When I told her my supervisors I wanted to move up the ladder they said I need to be more vocal and I needed to know how to motivate others. So I guess she don't like it that I'm too vocal."
