Guns are usually used to inflict injury or death on a living creature human or animal. There are many people whose lives are taken by people who pull that trigger. Living in Philadelphia, the murder rate is in the 400s, I know this. There was a police officer shot and killed 2 weeks ago and 2 more just shot last week. Children have also been shot and killed too. It is a national issue, too not just a Philadelphia issue. Can you admit that gun violence is a problem and an issue? There are a few points and I happen to partially agree with all of them. Guns are not the problem, people are. We cannot trust people with guns and if no one had them then there would be fewer deaths. It is my right to have a gun. I agree partially with all of these arguments.There is a problem of legal guns getting into the hands of someone who did not buy it or someone who legally has a gun using it against someone. Please I don't want to take your gun but how do we stop this madness of gun violence?

After a year of on-and-off visits to this forum, the light bulb finally went on for me....

After reading a response - a simple one line reply to a question - from one of the more notorious of these sorts, it all suddenly became clear. He simply replied that women were at their best as housewives.

So...do I have a correct understanding? Are those of you who hate feminism really just unhappy with women who push to do more for themselves and you? I realize there is much discussion of hypocricy and the like, but doesn't it all just boil down to wanting your women to be at home, providing you with creature comforts, taking care of the kids?

You know, wanting those things are fine - and there are plenty of women out there who want exactly the same things for themselves. Perhaps you should spend more time finding one of them than bashing those who don't want to be squeezed into that box...

I'm dating a wonderful guy but we have a different perspectives on some spiritual things. we are both very religious and believe very strongly in our faith. the differences are something we can't get past do we still try and work through it or just give up?? ex of differences: i believe in music during worship, he doesn't. He also believes you have to be baptized to be saved...I believe in faith alone. any suggestion on how to approach the situation?

People tell me its normal, but I still feel guilty for having these thoughts. I love my fiance to death, he's the best man for me out there, we're both in our late 20s, have known each other for 4 years, dated for 3....everything is great in the relationship. But I suddenly realized that I will miss the single life....I'll miss exchanging glances with strange guys from across the room, going out dancing with guys, having that "first" kiss or awkward first date, having sex for the very first time with some one. It's not that I had such a highly sexual single life, because I didn't do anything over the top....but I think back to all the fun I had mingling as a single and I feel like its done and gone. How do you get over these feelings?

And no I didnt think about these things while we were just dating, I know some of you will say "how did you make it that far then?"....I guess it just feels like marriage really seals the deal..point of no return.

Guys can you find anything unsual about this image:

You may not notice anything unusual at first sight except if you are very observant. The same thing like the second image of a tiger. If you look closely at the tiger image you will see a woman. Can you find her?

The second one could be hard If you are not very observant...

He wants to get married. His mommy has always bought him everything he wants. He didn't get a job until he graduated. He quit the full time job for a part time so he'd have more free time. He took a year off before college. He doesn't like to cook; he'd rather buy a burger & fries.
I went to grooming school. I own a small business that just makes enough money to live on, because it's new and so much has to go back into the business. I have a strict budget that I follow.
I understand that he has to learn from his mistakes. How do I prepare myself to go along for the ride? I am willing to have the phone and electricity cut off for not paying bills, and stuff like that, but I need to keep my business going. I need him not to use up the money from that too. Help!!!!

My niece is here staying with me until Sunday evening. Today (Tuesday), Wednesday, and Sunday I need some activities to with her. So far we have done everything I can think of.
-Dress up.
-Tea Party
-Watched TV
-Play Dolls
-Talked.
-etc.

I need some new easy things that can keep her occupied for a while, or at least for the next couple of hours and other two days that I will be having her alone.

Its storming so doing something outdoors at this time is not an option.

She is three.

Thank you.

*iamnot asking to convert, im muslim myself and happy with that !, rather curious to know about other ppl's too and share knowledge :-)"

so, allow me to start :
about that in islam:

If anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true religion of God, then, all one needs to do is pronounce the “Shahada”, the testimony of faith, without further delay. The “Shahada” is the first and most important of the five pillars of Islam.

With the pronunciation of this testimony, or “Shahada”, with sincere belief and conviction, one enters the fold of Islam.

To convert to Islam and become a Muslim a person needs to pronounce the below testimony with conviction and understanding its meaning:

I testify “La ilah illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah.”

The translation of which is:

“I testify that there is no true god (deity) but God (Allah),

and that Muhammad is a Messenger (Prophet) of God.”

From there, One starts carrying on with the duties of Islam.
