There is a high school in metro Indianapolis that showed pictures of high school students drinking wine, playing beer pong, and smoking marijuana in the yearbook. Should this be banned from being produced in the yearbook or should first amendment rights protect the students from censorship in their yearbook?

Seriously. Why? Whenever I watch the news and there is some sort of protest. These Mexicans are wearing bandanas over their faces.

some of the white people on yahoo answers say that blacks are racist, but just by being on yahoo answers i have seen more racist post from whites saying things like "why do black people arm pitts stink" and other ignorant s h i t even on jokes/riddles board its always a joke about a black person, and why is there bet and black history month you dont see black people posting "why is there abc or country music channel" or christopher columbus day (when his a s s did nothing but steal the land) and presidents day (there are no black presidents) so we are celebrating white men who lie, but you dont see us asking why we have to celebrate those certain days, we just get something for us and wait for you whites to get angry and jealous.

I have read in history that the first war ever between prophet Muhammed and infidels (called Badr) was initiated by Muhammed's attempt to raid a caravan owned by Koraish (the infidels) and therefore Koraish had to defend their caravan.

Does not this clearly show that the infidels had nothing to do with Muhammed until he raided their caravan?
Can this be described as self-defence?

When someone calls something that they think is stupid "retarded" they are, at the same time, calling retarded people stupid. And they're not. Do people just not think before they speak or do they need mental evaluations themselves?

I have never, nor will I ever, purchase anything from a telemarketer -- the fact is, they are *intruding* on my personal space in their attempts to sell me something, and their sloppy attempts at pronouncing my name *really* rubs me the wrong way - basically, they're all take and no give.

What do you think might be the best way to handle these calls without making my blood pressure go up, and in the process, ruining another person's day - just because I don't like the nature of their job or the way they go about doing it, doesn't mean I deserve to lose my equilibrium over them.

Any ingenious ideas?

Sharing is Caring...Jesus is Alive!?
I would like to share my story with any Christian or non-Christian who is still struggling and faith is not all together there.

I hold G-- to the highest, and to lie would be not only against what I believe, but against G--'s laws. Nothing here is a lie, although it might seem like it. This is the reason I type this. G-- bless you all.

I am 30 years old. I am a mathematics teacher. Since the day I was born I was Catholic. I never practiced it, and Catholic was simply a family label. I considered myself Atheist for 30 years until that day in March, I believe. I was painting my Mom's house. The face of Jesus appeared before my Mom and I. She asked me, "what does this look like to you?" But, before she finished the question I KNEW IT WAS HIM. The long hair, the beard, mustash, garments. Similar to the "Jesus" from "passion of the christ," except the eyes. Those eyes cannot be described. They translated into love, love, and love. If I had to describe them, I would say that the closest to that has been Mother Teresa's eyes. Not to take anything from her, but still, only close.
I thought that had changed me, but it didn't. It did start me off though. But, now as I researched and spent countless hours learning more about him, I started hating Jews and easily angered at anyone who spoke against Jesus. It had actually made me a worse person.
As I stuggled one morning with Currency Trading, he appeared again on the cabinet drawers of my room. He faded and came back over and over until He appeared very clear and said to me: WHY DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THINGS FROM THIS WORLD?" I think he said it two or three times. I started crying, as am right now. This was the first time that Faith came into my heart.
My life started changing, slowly. Same struggles, but different attitude and determination. I prayed day and night and went to Church. But, the real test, is the acts. "YOU WILL BE JUDGED ACCORDING TO YOUR WORKS" is one of my favorites.
In one of the Churches he said to me: "YOU ARE MARKED WITH MY BLOOD." I told my Mom and tried to make sense of it.
The last thing that he told me was: "I AM NOT YOUR FATHER. I AM YOUR BROTHER. THE SON DOES NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE FATHER, BUT WITHOUT THE SON THE FATHER IS ALWAYS."
At moments I wonder if it was all just in my imagination. This is the mistake that I keep making for this is where my Faith is tested.
No matter what, I am a better person for it. I love G-- with all my heart now, and I could never go back. Nothing in this world could ever shake or disturb my Faith. Finding G-- will always be a win-win situation. Now, I live everyday to make G-- proud of me and in the process I fulfill my obligations as human and husband.
I know that I should be doing more for G--'s glory. I am shy, but will soon find the strength and power to glorify him more and more. I am still in my learning stages, but live everyday to follow Jesus Christ's footsteps.
"pourdawg" could not be altogether wrong. But, what I know for certain is that if we are all lost souls, then we need to find G-- so that we can find ourselves in H--
"marty" tells you not to rely on feelings for that is wrong. I say to you, the problem I always made was that I thought too much and searched for contradictions here and there so that I could justify myself. But, if you think with your heart the truth will always ccome to you.

~ADIOS~

I am not here to tell you to quit your religion for they all share the great love that Jesus proclaimed. Be just, compassionate, humble and love G-- with all your heart. Share his glory by doing and not saying. ~ADIOS~

My goal now is simply to share this over and over again. I know G-- will guide me to my next step. I will keep anyone who want posted. I feel so Alive!!! Yes, even in the worst of times.

You could argue that not all bald people are good looking. But would you enjoy Capt. Luc Picard if he had hair?

What makes the sans-hair guy irresistable?

I went to a family reunion this past Saturday. I had noticed that my children were the only children there who waited thier turn and said please and thank you. My brother had made the comment he wished his kids were as polite as mine but said nothing when his daughter said " GET ME A DRINK" ...I think it's pretty important for children to talk to others with repect!!! Don't you? And do you think it should be taught more in school?

After reading these questions and answers for several days, I have come to the conclusion that the intellectual capacity of most of the people participating here would be challenged reading a comic book. Why are most of you here, is it just for shock value? Why would anyone go out of his way to insult the Creator of the universe? Those of you here who are Bible believing Christians, God bless you, we need more of you here. But those of you here who give flippant, blasphemous questions and answers, my question to you is why? To my brother's and sister's in Christ, we have the opportunity here to spread the Good Word. Why not use that opportunity in well thought out, coherant statements?

Why are many religious people so concerned about making other people subject to their beliefs, values, laws? Why do they care if people buy alcohol on Sunday, or if two gays get married, or if multipe religions are taught in school? Can't they live their own lives the way they want to and let other people do what they want to do?! Whats their motivation of trying to force others to live like them?

When people used to judge me first, and pass bad comments like, she's pretty-so she's conceited, or cuuss me out and call me a bia before I even talked to them, I would usually give them a smile, and say have a nice day or something. But lately I can't just do that. It's getting to me. What should I do?
