Why do people rely on their government to dictate social norms?

I think I understand what you are asking. While Larry had some interesting things to say, it does not explain the fact that we as a people are passing laws such as “anti-hate” legislation to cover an area of misconduct that is already being covered by other laws.

I think I understand what you are asking.
While Larry had some interesting things to say, it does not explain the fact that we as a people are passing laws such as “anti-hate” legislation to cover an area of misconduct that is already being covered by other laws. Societal pressure provoked additional laws making it more of a crime. For instance, for many years there were laws on the books of every state dealing with assault and battery, even degrees of that up to felonious assault. With a few specific assaults, even murders, society felt there should be additional laws covering the cases where members of minorities are targeted. For some reason, society feels the *reason* to assault and batter another is more wrong than the actual deed. In other words, we are passing emotions into laws.

Why this is done is because Americans (as well as other so-called “free” governments) are demanding those with the guns enforce their version of propriety and this is where democracy shows to be little more than a bully. Even though the minority prefer something, the majority can overrule them and outlaw their choice.
Take, for example, neighborhood organizational committees. These serve to limit what can be done as well as mandating what must be done to one’s own property. Those entering assume their rights will be protected but some of the actual occurrences prove otherwise such as in one such Las Vegas community, a man chose to put a Marine flag on display. The committee told him to take it down or replace it with an American flag. Same can be said about the color one wishes to paint their house or front door or in one city in Oklahoma, which type of vehicle can be parked in front (pickups of any style or type were banned).

It all seems to me to be controlling other’s behavior whether it affects the controller or not, a sort of “do as I say, not as I do”. Busybodies, in other words.

Is fine arts specificly FILM a good college major?

To be honest I think it matters a great deal WHERE you go to school in this. If you go to the USC film school, where Geoge Lucas and Steven Spielberg went, and where Lucas gave $175 million dollars to it, and whereSince 1973, not a year has passed without an alumnus having been nominated for […]

To be honest I think it matters a great deal WHERE you go to school in this.

If you go to the USC film school, where Geoge Lucas and Steven Spielberg went, and where Lucas gave $175 million dollars to it, and whereSince 1973, not a year has passed without an alumnus having been nominated for an Academy Award and Alumni have held key creative or production positions in 8 of the 10 highest grossing movies in history, I would have to say yes.

Anywhere else, I would probably say… probably not. I don’t know a lot about the buisness, but I get the general sense that a BA in Film and Television from the University of Central Podunk State isn’t going to make you stand out in Hollywood, at least as not as much as working hard, having a good reputation, and delivering what you promise when you promise it. I could be wrong, but I’d be willing to bet that there are plenty of kids in LA parking cars and waiting tables that have a film degree.

Why does the government treat children and their fathers like second class citizens?

Children have no voice because they just don’t. As far as fathers go well the persons who get treated like second class citizens are women and men who do not have custody of their children… and when it all comes down to the one thing that destroys this system called child support and […]

Children have no voice because they just don’t. As far as fathers go well the persons who get treated like second class citizens are women and men who do not have custody of their children… and when it all comes down to the one thing that destroys this system called child support and what is best for the child… It is who has the best lawyer and the most money….and once custody is given up by a parent or lost by a parent it takes the hand of God himself to change the outcome and since most people these days do not believe in God anymore. well the chances of getting a fair shake in the court room after loosing your children well you could probably win the lottery first… so now you have to make the best of a bad situation and pray that the child comes out of it with a good head on him or her shoulders… Children are the ones who suffer when money is involved… as for if I was a child I would rather have the other parents physical support than a check every month to keep mom or dad up…. Well all know where the money goes and it isn’t for the child…

Should HESS,SEPP MAIER,SPEER AND ALL THE REST OF THEM HAVE GONE TO THE GALLOWS.Why did they not.?

Rudolph Hess was thought to be insane by the time of the Nuremberg tribunal. Hess was not indicted for some of the charges (he was in England at the time of the “Final Solution”), but he was sentenced to life in prison. Albert Speer was seen as a more intellectual Nazi then others […]

Albert Speer was seen as a more intellectual Nazi then others such as Saukel. Speer also convinced the tribunal that he did not take part in the atrocities committed by the Nazis, though he did consent to the use of slave labor. There has been speculation that the court liked the more urbane Speer to his coarser Nazi co-defendents. Speer was sentenced to a prison term, later writing the book “Inside the Third Reich”.

I am not sure about Sepp Maier; the Net says he is a German soccer goalie. If you mean Kurt “Panzer” Meyer or Sepp Dietrich, they were generals in the Waffen-SS, not government/military leaders like Goering, Jodl, and Kietel.
