1. Homosexuality is not natural. Real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning.

2. Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay, in the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.

3. Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy
behavior. People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has
legal standing and can sign a marriage contract.

4. Heterosexual marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all; women
are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.

5. Straight marriage will be less meaningful if homosexual marriage were
allowed; the sanctity of Brittany Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage would be destroyed.

6. Heterosexual marriages are valid because they produce children.
Homosexual couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be
allowed to marry because our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world
needs more children.

If god could create the MULTIVERSE so much beauty then how could he create a hell. Or is the God of the New Testament a DIFFERENT GOD than the one of the Old Testament and the One of the old Testament is not worth worshipping? Now my opinion is that there is no hell and Christians worship a completely different God than the one of the old testament for Jesus taught a message of tolerance and peace. Now what do you think?

Is it blaspheming the Holy Spirit or another sin so very vile it is considered unforgivable? What is you're belief?

Has anyone heard of him? Are his teachings more similar to Hinduism or Buddism or original? Its the only really good stuff I have found and have looked at everything on death. Why isnt there more quality, practical and spiritual advice on death out there? Can you recommend anything? How do you feel about death?

krajlicatabiaa is/was one of my favorite regular anwerers on here. she always showed respect for everybody and showed a bright, funny and smart personality.

she got suspended from this site for asking a question in a foreign language.

66% of her answers were chosen as best answers! I think she's a loss to the Yahoo!Answer community.
i don't know her, but i always enjoyed her questions.

one of her questions, just as an example:

http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AslQDp1fy3jDur4Jto2U2PcgBgx.?qid=20060620211327AAzkzK9

could we all pray (or whatever) that God (or whoever) will make Yahoo! correct this obvious error??

Under normal circumstances I know I pick up the tab!

But what if I'm flying halfway across the world to see her? I pay for plane ticket and dinner too?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not cheap!...but I'm not rich either.

This Question was removed, so I re-worded it according to community guidlines.

I decided to correctly repost it because some of the feedback was really good.

One of my friends is a natural born speed reader, who can finish a 300 page book in less then an hour. My reading speed is slower then average, and I get very tired after having finished 20 pages of a book.

Every birthday and Christmas this "friend" always gives me a brand new book that he took the liberty of reading before he wrapped it. Not only do I think this is tacky, but also very selfish on his part, because he got the benefit of the "gift" and then dumped it off on me. I have told him many times that my reading speed is nowhere near his, have hinted for other gifts, and even had my wife one time tell him what to get me to try to break him of this habit, but he refuses to get the message.

My birthday is next week, and I am seriously thinking of not accepting the book I know he is going to try to dump off on me. I hate to hurt his feelings, but I don't appreciate his "selfish" gift giving. Would this be inappropriate on my part?

Apart from the fact that everyone knows a vampire is tres cool and rather sexy!

Sorry folks, the only real "vampire" was Vlad the Impaler (who for the record was not sexy and was very uncool!)
