People belonging to one culture, simply by being in majority should not ridicule (kidding, joking, and making fun of) people from other cultures. When it is done- day in and day out- at the expense of other because they are a minority, to entertain yourself, it builds up in them a negative psychology towards the society and demands tremendous amount of patience and tolerance on the part of the ridiculed party to control themselves from committing violent and horrible acts such as Virginia Tech Incident, an extreme act of revenge. If you recall there were many other such acts like that in the past, such as the one, where a Ph.D. student shot 5 professors and the one where an employee killed 22 and so on.

While for the sake of the safety of the innocent, such acts should not be condoned in any way, shape or manner, and the strictest law enforcement and community defense is to be brought into play, the root cause must be discouraged also. Understand, not ridicule in a free society.

All my friends are sexually active. Everyone makes fun of me because Iam a virgin. I don't feel in a rush to make a decision that could result in several different negative consequences and emotion baggage. What are some of the benefits of abstience? what are some of the disvantages of waiting? How do I know when Iam ready to make that decision?

Did Jesus think he was doing a repeat of Abraham's almost-sacrifice of his own son? Genesis 22

And when it became obvious that Jehovah was not going to save him, did Jesus call out "Why you dirty double-crosser!"?

Which, roughly translated, means "Eli lama sabacthani"?

What are your thoughts on this?

Replies from Bible scholars appreciated.

"and whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven."

"But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation."

(quotes taken from KJV, http://bible.cc/luke/12-10.htm and http://bible.cc/mark/3-29.htm )

I ask this because I see a lot of discussion about what blaspheming the holy spirit actually is. What is your opinion, and denomination?

Not interested in the hysterical "your second-hand smoke is killing me!" arguments. All I want to know is whether, after the smoking ban comes into play, the government still intends to levy taxes on the sale of tobacco products. Surely it's inconsistent and hypocritical to frown so hard on something as being harmful to others and then take money from its sale. Alcohol of course you can still consume at home, in public places and so on, so how come smoking is so discriminated against. Non-smoker here by the way.

My son will be 3 years old in Julyand he has had this problem since he was about 15 months old..He has chronic stomach pain and constipation every time he has to poop..I've called his doctor(pediatrition) numerous times and talked with both nurses and his doctor..plus I've made several appointments to see his doctor and everytime they tell me it is his diet.

last night he was in so much pain he was screaming and turning red.. i have tried mylcon drops, motrin, a&d on his butt,diet changes(integrating more fruit and less grains), and 1 tbsp of mineral oil every couple of days..nothing seems to work and these are all suggestions from my doctor

my mom has had 5 kids and she said with us she never had this problem and my son is on the same diet my siblings and I were on.(she knows all of his problems because we currently live with her so she sees it all first hand)she too thinks there is something more to his problem. Has anyone else dealt with this problem?What do you suggest?

I just purchased a brand new 120GB hard drive online. I installed it into my computer, and I booted from a Win98 startup disk. I ran FDISK and it couldn't create a partition. Then I tried to use Norton's DiskEditor and it said "Error reading drive..." Ok. So, I thought, that the disk needs lowlevel formatting. So, I used Maxtor's lowlevel format utility. I formatted the drive, and then I tried again. Same thing.

Then I started my computer in Windows XP, and clicked on Disk Management. It said one of my disks needs to be "Initialized" so I clicked Next... It did everything. Finally, it created a partition. In Windows XP, I formatted the drive using FAT32format utility which you can download from the internet, and then I copied some files on this new hard drive. Yay!
Now, I booted from a Win98 startup disk again, and FDISK can't see the partition on my new hard drive! I ran DiskEdit and it still can't read from the hard drive!!! I must access this hdd from Win98, and I can't do it.

For those who work on cars for a living or as a hobby, what is the biggest screw up you ever made?

Here's mine: I accidentally dropped a piece of old gasket maker down the hole where the distributor shaft goes. didn't screw it up too much, but I felt like an idiot since I took so much care stuffing paper towels in all the valves so nothing could fall in........ what a day.....
