I was in Costa Rica recently and a Brit and a French Canadian wanted my take on the political situation in the U.S.A. It made me wonder...

What do citizens of other countries, like the UK, Canada, France, etc. generally say about us (the USA) in their conversations?

And to the people who disagree with our (the Americans') current involvement in world affairs, I'd ask, please remember that not everyone is part of the stereotype. Some (a whole bunch) of us don't agree with what's going on and are tearing our hair out over the ignorance and apathy that the members of the majority apparently share.

Man, my low self esteem has made me make big mistakes. I quit my job because I didn't think I was doing well enough. My boss offered increasing my salary to 80 k raise and then to 100k. It goes and then it comes back. I have trouble keeping friends. I get overly paranoid at work thinking that I am going ot get fired all the time. It is SO weird.

The billboards are a close up picture of a new born baby wearing a wristband with the word HOMOSEXUAL written across it, and the caption says "Sexual orientation is not a choice."

What are your thoughts on this? Of course The Vatican has it's own convoluted opinion. Link to story.

Did I miss anything? Does it not concern you at all that there is some excuse to explain away every possible question regarding why God never shows himself? The excuses aren't even well-thought out.

My wife and I recently went to Monte Berico here in Italy, we went into the church and walked around. As we were walking around there were little statues in the wall. The first was a nun or a "saint" the people touched it like they got some feeling from it and made the cross sign. Than we walked some more, and of course there was mary, and they did the same thing. Now many of you claim that you don't worship mary or partake in idolatry but your origins do. Maybe the states have watered your religion down to hide the truth? Or maybe they did it to attract more people? But what I am saying is how can you sit there and deny these things when it's happening here in Italy, the HQ of catholicsm. Everywhere I go I see statues of mary, why not Jesus? Dare someone put up a statue or picture of Jesus, mary would have to be in it too. So why don't you just admit it that you worship mary?

If I use a brand-new photo cartridge and then take it out of my Lexmark P4330 Printer for a few weeks it doesn't work properly again, although I keep it in the cartridge storage unit provided. It is costing me a fortune. Can anyone help?

My fiancée broke up with me in early June, after 3 ½ years of dating. Needless to say I was completely devastated and extremely depressed. She stated that she needed to find herself and needed to find her individuality. We tried to stay friends over the summer, but it just made it worse for her, and then one day she told me that she needed NO CONTACT WITH ME. It seemed like a harsh punishment considering I loved her , and until she broke up with me, she treated me like gold and was extremely loving/ In late September, I tried Match.com on a whim. And live in NYC ,so I dated a few girls and then met a gorgeous girl named Lindsay. In the last month we have been seeing each other a lot and everything seems to be going great, but I still miss my fiancée more than anything,we had so much in common and I really loved her. And what is worse is Lindsay lives across the street from my fiancee’s apartment building. I need help!!!!

I often see so called "Christians" post questions about the SCIENTIFIC Theory of Evolution and then "disprove" it by citing Kent Hovind or Behe.

Does the S in R&S stand for Science? I thought it was spirituality.

Not to rant, but many so called Christians continue to bait their brethren with silly posts like Catholics are not Xian nor are LDS or Mormons.

I fear that all of this idiocy spreads like wildfire, while any intelligent answers and or discussion is defecated upon simply because one poster agrees with the original poster's ideology rather than THINK, truly THINK for themselves.

What is your opinion?

(*all names changed*) Ok, well last night I was at my confirmation class and my friend, Kevin, was sitting next to me. We were talking and I guess we were flirting a lot, my friend said to me "Katie, you have a bf, Kevin, back off." And then, well we were like really close, if nobody knew us, they would've thought we were "together". Then we started talking about how I have a problem with people touching my legs. And he was like "ok, so, if i do this *puts his hand on my thigh* you dont like it? even though I've known you for at least 9 years?" When he placed his hand on my thigh, I felt a "spark", a "shock" that went up my entire leg. It was way to weird. Then that night I was listening to Everytime We Touch by Cascada...wow...I've known him since I moved to this town...And like, I have never felt that "spark" with any guy, not even my bf...It was weird, and now I'm getting these second thoughts about him...
What does that mean when I feel that "spark"? Or is it nothing?
