This retard just told a young girl that 13 or 14 is a good age to have kids because that's when Mary had Jesus. Are you friken kidding me?!!!!!! You guys try to use the bible and God as an answer for everything and sometimes it just doesn't apply. So when you give advice, please think of what you're saying first.

Im fascinated with the idea that on a personal communual and global level we all are creating the world ,with our failure to accept responsability for every thought we have . Even the ugly ones, that we dont want to face about the human race.

Never mind Bush and the disgusting war (just for now). How does our advertising overseas make us look as a whole. How are you and your peers or coworkers affected by american advertising?

So in knowing this, that the holy spirit is so close in your esance that most people dont even know that the holy spirit is there (like a ghost) helping them. Knowing this will it increase our faith? I said Jesus is lord 7 times and every time he is helping me say this . Wow.

This link is a story from the National Geographic about the most updated scientific theory on how the story of Noah's Ark came to be. I'm a Catholic Christian, so I don't interpret the Bible literally. Therefore, this theory coincides with my faith easily, and I've accepted it as much as scientists have. What about you?

We need it up most of the time and have to lift it most of the time to urinate, why cant girls grow up and just lower it. Besides I dont really like touching the damn seat anyway, should I get lazy like the ladies just leave it down all the time and piss all over it. I work with way too many girls and then I go home to 3 more and it kinda sucks. I heard one excuse that the girls might fall in without the seat but how stupid could you be not to check if its down? I go number 2 all the time and have never fallen in. WTF? ladies please grow up!

Okay well, I've been reading through a bunch of these questions and I've noticed some awful answers. People are disgustingly close minded and it royally pisses me off. I've thought about it in the past but never really had an answer. I've always wondered if there was ever a gang or group that dealt with people that did stupid things. Like be openly racist, homophobic, rape etc. I mean as far as the homophobic and racist people well I guess it's in all of us at least a little bit but it's seriously not that hard to just keep your opinions to yourself. So many people are different and if it doesn't directly effect you in a harmful manner why be a dumb *** about it? I think it would be interesting to see a group of people who's goal was to remove prejudice. I know it sounds oxymoronic but to be honest I think it's necessary.

I just wanted to hear other people's experiences with this one. I've had several:
*Cop pulled me over while I was walking and asked me if I escaped from a mental institution.
*This guy asked me if my mom was his nanny/maid from when he was little. (My mom's name is Lupe, so was his nanny's.)
*A girl assumed I didn't speak Spanish, big mistake, and called me an idiot white girl.

These are just a few of my many life experiences!

My parents say to "keep things on the QT", my students say to "keep them on the DL". I know that DL stands for "Down Low". What does QT stand for and when did this fundamental shift in language take place?

There is NO evidence that homosexuality is practiced by non-human animals outside of labratories where their environment is deliberately corrupted (overcrouding and starvation) and in these instances it has been noted that these action were ABBERATIONS.
in several, male dominated primate societies, there seems to be some homosexual activity, however close examination has ALWAYS shown that this activity is not sexual in nature, but it is an attempt to subjagate a lower ranking member.
Monitor izard rake their claws over the scales ov a defeated rival for the same reason, but they rake their claws over a female to show her how strong he is so she should mate with him.
These instances of a male treating another male like a female is to humiliate and to maintain social order Female lead groups (hayenas for example) never have this behavior
Why would the human animal be the only one that has this difference?

no religious context here, just natural examples.
