I'm an atheist because I think the concept of god/gods is juvenile and ridiculous. There are too many holes in all organized religions for me to take any of them seriously. Most of them seem like glorified mythologies to me.

What I do believe in: I believe that in an ideal world no one would have to pretend. People would just live for today, and try to make the best of it. Why is it that people think they know everything about the "afterlife", but yet they can't see past the end of their own noses?

I mean...no one is talking about the Golden Compass, or anything, on Y!A R&S. So I'm a little uninformed on the subject. Is the Golden Compass anti-atheist?

My current gf just told me that she wants to be friends, start back from the beginning, and take things slow. She wants to be single and have fun with her friends and felt pressure when i was going out with her. is this the end?

I've been researching, and I have a question: if you get the kind of unfixable blurred vision from optic nerve damage or burst blood vessels within eyes, can it makes you more near sighted or will it make your vision blurier in general, close or far? I was diagnosed a month or two ago with 20/40 vision in my left eye and 20/80 in my right. If I put my hands right in front of my fave or look at the keyboard I type on, its clear. If I look at something farther away, its very blurry in my right eye.

A month ago I started on adderall and developed a minor eye infection of some sort that gave me eye boogers all day and made me constantly blink. I still blink a lot and HARD as a compulsion. I'm not sure if my vision is damaged from popped blood vessels from blinking hard or if its in my head. Can that make you more near-sighted?

Also, my blood pressure is still low despite the medicine but I don't know about my eye-pressure.

And yes, I'm making an appointment to see an ophthalmologist instead of just a glasses doctor. Thank you so much if you can answer.

he got caught?

I can't take my boyfriend to couples gatherings because he is obsessed with digging into the host's couch cushions looking for spare change.

I can tolerate it to a degree if he is discrete but he is out of control & blatantly digs for the change. To top it off, he talks about how much change he accumulated the whole ride home.

I'm afraid he's going to get really caught one of these times.

He does this whenever we go to a store ...walks around staring at the ground, collecting change, then molests it the whole car ride home like he just won the lotto.

As a huge fan of college footballl, I've been answering quite a few questions about teams and interesting games in the Sports section.
Debates get pretty heated sometimes and in an effort to insult one another's teams, many people make blanket statements about where the fan or school is located. I've noticed a lot of cheap shots being taken at Southerners in particular.
I was wondering if any of you have noticed (or personally been involved in) incidents where people from Northern or Southern states were at odds because of where they live?
If you live "up North" or "down South", do you treat people differently if they don't speak like you? (whether intentionally or subconsciously) Have you noticed people in your town or city treating others differently?
Just curious. Thanks for the responses!

Two weeks ago my little brother borrowed $50 from my husband for the night when we went out together and my brother forgot his wallet at home. We have talked to him since but he has never brought up the fact that he owes us money. How do I ask him for it back without seeming money hungry?
I know he has the money, so the issue is not that he doesn't have it.
