[ - ] For those who seek to find moral equivalence between Christianity and Islam, you're just wrong. Christians (and Jews) are non-savages because of intellectual developments like the Protestant Reformation, the Renaissance, the emancipation of women, the separation of church and state, the scientific method, the enshrinment of individual rights, the rise of the secular state/democracy, etc. Islam had none of these intellectual breakthroughs, which is why the Islamic world is largely mired in Dark Age savagery. THIS IS THE UNASSAILABLE TRUTH. 3 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

[ - ] I think Christians have only become less violent over the years because more of its members have become more prosperous (including women, gays & minorities), giving rise to more legitimate voices for tolerance. In many Muslim nations the power & wealth still reside with few. I don't believe it's anything inherently different in the religions that make one more violent than the other. You look at something like Mormonism - it's only when many of them started to become wealthy that the now mainstream sect broke off and renounced the polygamy & abused of minors. If they hadn't started making money they would almost all still be living in cults. 5 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More ]

HA!!!!!!!! That's funny! Thanks to the Christians, and their clueless way of voting, we are well on our way to a have/have not society right here in the U.S. of A.! [ Reply | More ]

"No problem" because you didn't have to deal with an emergency. I know kids who died while babysat by a teen. (House fire.) [ Reply | More ]

I might let her do it on a date night when you don't have another sitter but I would have a conversation with her parents about how she has been asking you and you are a little nervous about her age (even though you think she seems oh so mature) and so might let her do so but would want to ensure that it was at a time when they were home and that she and they were comfortable if she were to also contact them in an emergency. If you get any sense of hesitation from them, then I'd say no. [ Reply | More ]

We did this when our kids were already put to bed and the teens parents were upstairs in their apartment in our building. That said, I started babysitting at 12 and no one seemed bothered to leave their kids alone with me. [ Reply | More ]

assuming an experienced babysitter, probably as long as she was in HS. it depends though - under 5 could mean 4 and 5 or it could mean 1 and 3. If she's babysitting for a toddler I need to know she has experience with that. My neighbor's DD started babysitting for us when she was 15-16 and my dc was 1-2yo. This year I have a 15yo sitting for my 2 kids, but only the younger one is under 5yo. At our house upstate, our friends' son was babysitting my kids and his siblings starting at 14yo but again only the youngest was under 5yo. [ Reply | More ]

A 14 yo, I would let her come afterschool as a mother's helper for a day or two a week - maybe dinner time? Then, after a year of seeing her abilities maybe you can have her sit for early evening? [ Reply | More ]

My dcs are 3 & 6 and we have used a 10th grader now for about a year. We live in Manhattan and she lives about 20 blocks away. We know the parents well and her older sister used to babysit, but she's now in college. SHe is super responsible and knows how to handle emergencies, although most of her babysitting is on saturday nights where she puts kids to bed and then does her homework. [ Reply | More ]
