Why can't they just have faith and beliefs? Why do you have to attend church? What about a doctrine in your church you don't entirely agree on?

Why can't people beleive what is true to them? Why do people have to gather and have weekly/daily rituals?

Wouldn't the Divine, as parent(s) want what comes from your heart instead of following the crowd?
What is the point of organised religion?

I have this canker sore in the underneath my bottom lip. At first it was pretty small and did not hurt much. But after a week or so, it got bigger and more painful. I started to put a medicine called pyralvex to treat the sore. But it still remained for a few more days and got bigger and became inflammed. To relieve the pain, I gargled some Listerine mouth wash. After about 3 hours, I put some more pyralvex on the sore; it started to bleed and look irritated. This has lasted for about 2 weeks. I now know that this is a major canker sore. What can I do to relieve the pain and make this sore go away faster?

I'm just wondering if there are any medical concerns, because diabetes affects more than just blood sugar, such as eyes and teeth. So help? (: OH. I have type one diabetes.

I also posted this on the regular Health section. But I want to try this section cause it might be more of a help specific(:

And yet they are the ones that have the most children of their own disregarding the option of adopting these children that they fight so hard to bring into the world. Do they just pick and choose the parts of the Bible that are convenient for them?

Bloke walks into a bar with his dog.
He says to the barman "If fido here can tell you the name of a famous

The barman humours him and says ok.

"Right", says the bloke, "come on fido, tell everyone the name of a
famous composer".

The dog says "bark".

At this the barman gets annoyed and throws the bloke and his dog out on
the street.

He picks himself up and starts walking off down the road when the dog

My principal recently cited me on a dress code violation, that my tank top was an undergarment, and therefore could not be worn.
Upon showing her that it was indeed NOT an undershirt, she began to tell me that men are not allowed to wear tank tops because it sends the wrong message.
I asked what this message is, fearing some anti-gay hogwash. Her reply was that it didn't promote an image of modesty or remote professionalism.
I cited that the school allows people to wear full blown halloween costumes AND that there were women standing right next to me wearing nearly the same tank top, AND scantily less clothing.

So, after going back and forth with her I got straight to the point, "So, the rule is that as a male I may not wear a tank top." AND SHE SAID YES. (sex discrimination that infringes on my ability to wear what clothes I choose)

My question is, how much power does a school have over dress codes, can I fight this discrimination, and HOW?
(As a 17 year old in high school in CA.)

Why in the hell are you agreeing and siding with these people-who are are self-righteous, and racially insensitve against all ethnic groups-when you are in fact Asian? Why don't you ask them how they feel about your race? I bet they wouldn't have anymore nice things to say about Asian people, than they do about any other race....And you wouldn't appreciate hearing negative things about YOUR race... Just as much as other people don't like hearing negative thing about their race.

So basically, you are a JOKE. You need to look in the mirror and realize who you really are.... And realize that because people look and act different than you, it doesn't mean there is something wrong with them! THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY WRONG WITH YOU!

We have a room in our house that is more of an office/study. It is not a huge room but the ceilings are quite high. I have always thought about a huge book case. Kinda like you see in movies where you need a ladder. (but not a whole wall).

How tall can i built my book case without fearing it tip over, or is there a certain ratio where if i build it deep enough it will be okay. ok - dreaming i would have a 15' book case but how tall could i really realistically build it for a home to be safe not being a master finish carpenter?

I have never shown signs of asthma in the past, had a sudden allergic reaction (I'm 30) and ended up having "asthmatic bronchitis"... he had me do a breathing test where I blew hard and fast into a tube... my results were 250 first, then 270, then 260... then he had me take a breathing treatment (my first ever) and my results were 310, 330, 320.... obviously there was some improvement after the breathing treatment.. does anyone know what these numbers mean and if they are "normal"? Any thoughts?

I am looking for places to live (rent), and keep seeing ads for houses that apparently are being sold because their previous owner couldn't maintain payment on the mortgage. The ads say that you can take over loan payments, w/ no credit check on top of that. I'm skeptical, of course, and would like to know more about these situations.
Can someone explain this scenario for me? Thanks.
