Children and Small Animals
« Result #1 on Aug 21, 2005, 5:00pm »

Studies involving other pets

It is a well known fact that having small animals for your children is healthy. It gives them a sense of responsibility and causes hormones in their bodies to balance, giving them a sense of purpose and liking towards life.

While Johnson doesn't advise patients to throw away their antidepressants and instead get a dog, she says animal therapy could be used as an adjunct to depression treatment.

"It gives us answers about who would be the most likely to benefit from owning a dog or how often someone would need to visit with a dog to get the beneficial effect," she says.

And it's not just dogs that are being studied for their therapeutic power. Currently Beck and other researchers at the Center for the Human-Animal Bond, in conjunction with the National Science Foundation and the University of Washington, are exploring how the "inborn attraction to nature" can help patients with dementia. For instance, people with Alzheimer's disease often suffer from weight-loss problems because they're unable to focus long enough to eat. But when they sit in front of aquariums with brightly colored fish, the elderly patients are able to pay attention long enough to get their meals down.

As scientific research continues to validate the importance of animals to human health, Beck expects to see more community funding for public dog runs, for example, as well as more widespread acceptance of animal care as a legitimate healthcare expense.He also hopes more insurance policies will begin offering coverage for services such as veterinary care for pets of the elderly, and that eventually pet owners will receive insurance discounts similar to the deals given to non-smokers.

Just as we recognize that exercise is important to our health, it's becoming clearer that animals can also improve the quality of our lives, Beck says.

Death Toll in Iraq
« Result #2 on Mar 12, 2005, 2:28pm »

So the death toll in Iraq has reached 1500.

What are your thoughts and opinions? I don't think it's a big deal since casualities are obviously going to occur in war.

I completely agree, but I didn't ask which figure influenced the world, but rather what figure had the most influence. Jesus of Nazareth and Jennie Craig both influenced the world... but one of the had more influence. One of them was created to keep us in shape, and the other one has a great dietary program!

I'm afraid of dying. Yeah, I really am. But not afraid of leaving ppl. I love, afraid of what happens in the moment you leave the world. Does it hurt? What'll happen? A white light? I don't know.

I think that ANYWHERE exists a god. We can't see 'im, but that doesn't mean he doesn't exist. I'm not sure 'bout what I believe, but what I know is: I hope and pray that there's a god.

Most Influential Figure in History?
« Result #9 on Feb 21, 2005, 9:49pm »

Who do you view as the figure in history who has caused the most influence throughout time.

I would have to say Socrates (As you can see by my title) for his method of question and answer or Darwin for his theory on evolution.

Dying
« Result #10 on Feb 21, 2005, 9:32pm »

I myself, am terrified of the idea of dying one day. I want to make a difference, become famous, make my name legendary, so I would somehow become immortal.

How's about you? What are your thoughts on death? Are you scared? Do you accept it, or do you deny it?
