I'm just wondering how in the world protestants can say that Catholics aren't Christians. Anyone who has studied history knows that the Catholic church was the church of the early christians - the church started by Jesus Christ. So it just astounds me when protestants - who broke off from the catholic church, can now say that catholics are not christian.

I really want to start acting/modeling (even though I'm short) but I don't want to run into any scam talent agencies. I just came from a scout agency, but I guess I didn't have the personality that they were looking for...So what should you do if you REALLY want to get into the industry?

I used to have a crush on this guy, he's going to be a sophmore, and I'm going to be a freshman, and we're in the drumline, and we see eachother for drumline stuff over the summer. I stopped liking him, cause he's like a boy magnet, and I get jealous when I like the guy, and, I was SURE of myself that he doesn't like me, and he never did, soo I just gave up on him, and, Idk how he reacts to his lother lady friends. ANYWAYS, today I met him up again at the school, where everybody was cleaning the band hall, and I didn't know he was gonna be there. And, I talked to him, cause, when we see eachother, he always talks to me first, but I don't talk to him, cause Idk what to say to him, but he just goes for it. And, he talked to me, and he's ALWAYS suprise when he sees me, and, when we stop talking, he just says my name, Idk y, but I think he does it just to keep the conversation going, and he always makes me laugh, and he stares at me when I'm somewhere else.
does it seems like he likes me?

There seem to be 3 views on this issue. The first is that all pharmaceutical pain relief is bad, and that mothers that use is are selfish. The second view is that moderate pain relief is fine. The third is that the more medication you can get the better.

My question is this - to those who hold the first view - why are you so opposed to using pain relief? It doesnt harm the baby, and makes the expectant mother's job easier, thus making the babies life easier, right? Or am I wrong on this?

If it was harmful to the baby, surely they wouldnt prescribe it. SO why NOT use pain relief?

I particularly want to hear from expectant mothers or others who oppose the use of pain relief.

Personally i do not find the fact undressing in front of a bunch of strangers that i do know now. I find this strip search a pure violation of my privacy and no one can change my mind on that. But if a minorty goes to jail in a all white community can that minorty request that a minorty officer do the strip search then a white officer

Taking in consideration the following facts:
1- Israel is an exclusive Jewish state. Peace and open borders wilt full democracy and freedom of movment will definitely mean the loss of its jewish identity and majority. so moral and physical separation barriers are always needed.
2- The very concept of establishing the state of Israel was based on the notion of the persecuted Jew. to maintain the existence of the state of Israel this notion should be preserved through the creation of ennemities.
3- Israel believes in the expansionist theological idea and prophecy of recreating the Biblical Israel from the Nile to the Euphrates... Some Answerers even mentioned that openly in their Answer to this question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhaXd4MCioORzdjU9uLrUhLty6IX?qid=20070726080642AARZTby
4- Holding the non homogenious fabric of the Israeli community needs the rallying of the populace against an ennemy... even if it is an immaginary enemmy of minimal threat

Please leave your reasons. I am bored and am ready for a good debate.

I personally believe it is not. It is the end of a serious mental illness. It happens when someone is in so much pain, they feel incredibly hopeless.

Please leave your opinions. Thank you:)
Best answer goes to whoever argues their point best, no matter if I agree with them or not.

Should Barack Obama get in their face and tell them what he thinks or is Hillary right, that you can't talk to them for at least a year?
A year would be plenty of time for the new administration to get a handle on what they wanted to say to these "rogue nations".
Obama is willing to discuss things with them right away.
Is this a bold new style of diplomacy and leadership as Barack believes or foolhardy and the result of a lack of experience as Hillary asserts?
What do you do in your own life if you have a problem with someone? Do you go talk to them about it or do you avoid them?

I've known S since 7th grade (about 13 years ago) by 9th grade we were inseparable. Fast forward to HS graduation, I go off to a univ. in upstate NY, she goes off to univ. in Wisconsin. We were great at keeping in touch. She started dating a guy senior year (whom I accidentally introduced her to...long story) and they've been together ever since. We've had many a fight about how much I hate him, how badly he treats her and etc. She would just blow me off about it and wouldn't listen. They're still together, I guess I've just chosen to live with it. But I really think, subconsciously, that HE is the downfall to our relationship. We hardly talk anymore, maybe twice a month, a little more. She won't come visit me and I can't visit her due to lack of funds. We haven't seen each other since April. We catch each other in the rare times we're both home in NY. It's really unfortunate and I don't want to lose her but I don't know what to do anymore. Can I still consider her my best friend?

"You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." And Leviticus 20:13 adds, "they shall surely be put to death."

Break out the fossil collection! But, and I add this only as a caution, look out for the snags.

For one, in the very same Bible, in John 8:7, Christ himself says, "Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone."

What other abominations does the Bible specify? Of course, adultery (Lev 18:20), sex with animals (Lev 18:23), remarrying one's wife after she's had another husband in between (Deut 24:4), or approaching any woman and humming "Strangers in the Night" during the time of her "uncleanness" (Lev 18:19). Cross-dressing is out (Deut 22:5), and that includes Halloween costumes, slacks on women, bib overalls on llittle girls, or a wife wearing her husband's favorite Oxford buttondown. And more on buttondowns in a moment.

Teens charged with sex abuse for slapping bottoms
Posted Jul 23rd 2007 2:34PM by Sandy Maple
Filed under: Health and Safety, Lifestyle, Middle school, Public school
Next month, two 13-year-old boys from Oregon will go on trial, facing charges of five counts of sex abuse and five counts of harassment . If convicted, these two could possibly receive 10 years in jail and the distinction of being labeled as sex offenders for the rest of their lives. What horrible crime did these boys commit? They slapped some girls on the butt.

Apparently, Cory Mashburn and Ryan Cornelison ran down a hallway at Patton Middle School last February, swatting the bottoms of the girls they passed. Bottom-slapping is against policy in the McMinnville Public Schools, so a teacher's aide sent them to the office. This would have been a good time to have a talk with these kids about inappropriate touching and possibly send them home to think about what they had done. Instead, they were interrogated for hours, handcuffed and sent to juvenile jail, where they spent five days.

Police reports and juvenile court records reveal that the butt-slapping incident occurred during what can only be described as a butt-slapping frenzy at Patton Middle School. For reasons not revealed, girls and boys were all slapping one another's bottoms with crazy abandon. Some students say this is a common form of greeting.

Since the incident, the female victims of the butt-slapping have recanted their statements to interrogators, saying they felt pressured at the time of questioning. One even admits that there was nothing sexual about the butt-slapping. However, one of the victim's mother thinks the charges are appropriate. "Slapping somebody on the butt is sexual harassment, and it is a crime," Rhonda Pope said. "Considering what was going on and that my daughter was offended, it is a crime. And it's not OK."

She's right, I guess. It is not okay to slap girls on the butt under any circumstances. But should these boys really be faced with charges of sex abuse? The McMinnville district attorney, Bradley Berry, says his office "aggressively" pursues sex crimes that involve children. "These cases are devastating to children," he said. "They are life-altering cases." He is no doubt referring to the girls, but it seems the boys are the ones whose lives will be altered in this case.
