I am making light of a sensitive topic here so if you take this question too literally, please lighten up and know that I am posting this question tongue-in-cheek and hope you too may have a sense of humor.

Jamie Lynn Spears, sister of world-famous Brittany Spears, is 16 years old and pregnant now if you haven't been watching this past week's news. Jamie is also a teen sensation and star of the Nicholodeon show "Zoey 101". The producers are contemplating how to deal with the question of teenage pregnancy and MAY dedicate at least one episode to the topic.

ONE episode, I ask? Won't they have to deal with a few more MONTHS of pregnancy than just one episode?

I believe teenage pregnancy to be a VERY big issue, particularly with two teenage daughters myself. I personally believe Nicholodeon has not just an opportunity but a responsibility to address this very important social issue now and that it should not be swept under the carpet as if teenage pregnancy is not a problem.

I just got a brand new Ipod Nano/Video 4GB for Christmas. For some reason when I go on to Itunes and want to download a song, it will not download onto my Ipod. I do everything correctly as far as connecting the cord from the ipod to the computer and everything else, so why is nothing downloading. I have plenty of space left, so why is this happening on a brand new Ipod? Any reasons or possibilities as to why this is occuring are welcome. This is pissing me off so badly.

Was i being an jerk?
twouys came to the gym with their sister,girlfriend(of the one guy)They aren't particularly fond of me because of tension i've had with her(she's persian so it's a different culture)and various incidents.They were in one section working out and i basically stayed near them in that section and glanced at them from time to time and i wouldn't venture too much out of there.Eventually the guy looked at me when my back was turned.Do you think they were annoyed?I don't take crap from anyone although i wasn't trying to start anything i stayed steadfast in the areain.(i continued to work out,but kept my eye on them as well).I didn't go anywhere near the girl though.She looked like she may have wanted to talk but i just ignored her.But anyway,about the two guys,why were they giving me those vibes?

We need to learn to be open minded enough to discuss this issue based on rational grounds. I do not feel that homosexuality is a manifastation of a deficit in character or emotional or mental ability. A person who is gay or has gay tendencies may be "wired" differently from birth. I know this is a throw back to the nature versus nurture argument.

We must come to grips with the reality that the human sexuality is the most complex of any animal. This is probably because we as humans have the most complex and higly evolved minds. Therefore, unlike most species our sexual envolvement is not simply an act of procreation but it is also an expression of love and communication on a very intimate level. Sometimes our interest or connection with others does not come in the package of the opposite gender.

In addition, the psychologists "Freud and Erikson" suggest that the lines human sexuality are not clearly marked. (Most people are not 100% heterosexual or 100% homosexual) Most people are some where right or left of center along a continuem.


Culture, tradition and religion has created taboos that have discriminated against certain groups based on unrational grounds. We all know that homosexuality will never be normal or normative behavior in western and especial American culture. However, homosexuality should not be viewed as an act or a transgression against God and Humanity.

I know that many of you are going to tow the line with a literalistic interpretation of scripture from the Old Testament to the New Testament. However, I will caution you, that the same scriptures were used to justify African/African American oppression from Leviticus, to the Letters of Paul. So I do not think that we should use, misuse and abuse the Sacred scriptures to justify anyone elses oppression; homosexuals.

We must be broad minded enough to look at the big picture. The cooresponding theme from the Old Testament to the New Testament is a theme of Liberation. In a literal since, in the Old Testment, the Bible talks about the Liberation of a wayward people who are looking to a Messiah to help them re-establish the Kingdom of Yehwah and deliver them from their multiple international enemies. The Gospel shares with us a Savior who will bring this Kingdom down through an act of LOVE, which led to His death on the Cross!!!! (John 3:16)
(Yes, Jesus died to liberate his people and all people)


I believe that we should share in the mission of the Long awaited Messiah. We should embrace God's Kingdom, expressed through Jesus Christ and share it with others. Abernachy called The Kingdom, "God's Beloved Kingdom."

One way to share in the Kingdom of God is to untie ourselves from the cultural and religious chains that oppress other people. We need to fight for the cause of liberation of everyone even if it leads to our own cross and blood shed.

To me the topic homosexuality is not a issue of sin, but it is a issue of SOCIAL JUSTICE. GOD'S PEOPLE ARE BEING OPPRESSED THROUGH DRACONIAN LAWS THAT PROHIBIT THEM FROM LEGAL MARRIAGE AND THE ABILITY TO ADOPT CHILDREN IN MOST STATES.

WE NEED TO SHARE GOD'S BELOVED KINGDOM TO ALL WHO ARE OPPRESS AND THIS INCLUDES HOMOSEXUALS.

I made online bookings for 4 tickets to BKK with Tiger airways in Oct. However, their website hanged halfway thru and there was no confirmation. I checked my email for any tickets and there was none, hence I proceeded to book with another airline.

However, when my credit card bill arrived, I was shocked that Tiger had charged my credit card even though there wasn't any confirmation or tickets issued.

Checked with Tiger Airways and they said that they were unsuccessful in emailing me the tickets as they had a technical problem at that time but still considered a 'confirmed booking'. I ended up with a total of 8 tickets now!!!

I requested Tiger many times for a refund and each time, their staffs would quote me their 'terms of carriage' and said 'there is nothing they can do' since there is a 'confirmed booking'.

The total cost charged was $936.

I approached CASE but

"The spiritual training of Jesus

In the Himalayan fastnesses Jesus was instructed in yoga and the highest spiritual life, receiving the spiritual name "Isha," which means Lord, Master, or Ruler, a descriptive title often applied to God, as in the Isha Upanishad. Isha is also a particular title of Shiva.19

The worship of Shiva centered in the form of the natural elliptical stone known as the Shiva Linga (Symbol of Shiva) was a part of the spiritual heritage of Jesus, for His ancestor Abraham, the father of the Hebrew nation, was a worshipper of that form. The Linga which he worshipped is today enshrined in Mecca within the Kaaba. The stone, which is black in color, is said to have been given to Abraham by the Archangel Gabriel, who instructed him in its worship..."
