Everyone has their own individual taste in music and with that taste we tend to identify ourselves within a category. If we assume that an individual listens to music to gain a sense of identity, which piece of music do you identify with?

For example, in my case, it's Nine Inch Nails music - it gives me a sense power, authority, independence, integrity, and ultimately makes me adopt a winning attitude in the "Stick It To The Man" game (the Man is defined as anything/anyone that holds me down).

People who were trained by bullies, or those who had a hard life, seem to get so annoyed at a simple question. Isn't it always simple when you know the answer, or can point them civilly in the right direction? Why not post a site, or give an answer, instead of slapping them down with an insult or your offer to punch them? How lazy is that?

OK, maybe it's true that those most successful at making money are the most driven, but they also seem to lack the ability to enjoy spending it, preferring to manipulate others to pay their way.
Can't people be generous with information? Isn't that how progress is made? I haven't yet decided if it is only romantics or Scrooges who love mystery, but why create it unnecessarily?
What's to lose?

Some posters are a little unfair - they won't post links. It's a brilliant feature, and underused. Why pretend to be a guru, when no one could possibly know everything on earth? Who can keep up with all the latest developments?

isn't it scary to think that you may be the anti-christ, and you end the world, and still don't know untill you completely destory, but you felt bad for it, wouldnt that be sad, Im scared, because I think I might be, and whatever I do Im going to end the word, so I try hard not to do nothing, even the question about me writing a book scares me, because what if my book indirectly destory the world, and it will be all my fault, has anyone every thought about thats.

1. Why do we allow a single President, of his own will, to send our young men and women off to dubious wars?
2. Why do we allow priests to diddle with our own children sexually, and still support the Church by attending and paying weekly contributions?
3. Why do we support the ridiculous lifestyles of celebrities by paying them millions of dollars just because they are attractive-looking?
4. Why do we then CARE about their newborn babies, born in some country like Namibia.? Is Namibia some special place?
5.Why do we put such people on TOP, and pay them our hard-earned money to fantasize as if we were like them?
6. Why do we worship people, like the above, and like sports athletic stars, and not worship GOD, who alone is worthy of worship?
7. Why do we trust doctors? Have you ever had a doctor who lived in YOUR BODY, and knew from the inside-out, how YOU FEEL?
8. Why don't we start caring about OURSELVES, for a change,
and about and for those immediately in our own lives?

or were they infected by the idea that they were doing things outside the norm for there gender, like if you see a little boy put on a wig, you would say he is gay or will be gay, but actors can do the same thing, and it want be consider that way, its humor, some what a question of nature v. nurture, could a parent implant that there child is gay, from a young age, thus' the child feels they were born that way, this question is formed out of the fact my cousin is gay, breast and all, and when he was little his mother would do and say things to him that would imply he was a girl, or gay. And If this is the case, should people stop doing things like that, and let nature play itself out? im asking because, my sister friend little boy has feminie behaviors, and my sister says hes gay, and now his firend my niece is saying he acts like my cousin forth mentioned, there both only 5 years old, but I dont want the boy to feel that he is outside of hes sex, based on how others view his behaviors

when we were created we could speak to him/her, and could see him/her, but now nothing, could it be because our minds are clouded with knowledge, and thats why we weren't suppose to eat from the tree of knowledge, or that god didnt feel we were ready to eat from the tree of knowledge, as a part of his/her test, to gain understanding of knowledge, and thats why we lived so long then, because he/she wanted us to finish the test before we died, but then in disobaying him/her, that they made the test harder, and we can not finish it within our life time, so now we are stuck picking up were others left off, and if they havent spelled it out clearly, we become confused.
