Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Peace and Love

I can't have my serenity in a public restroom when doing #2 and I can't drop my stinky loads off just any place putting people through that smell because I have never heard of a #2 that don't stink. If I can't hold it or it is causing problems for me then I am in and I am out ASAP. I need to be in the privacy of my own home, hotel room or maybe a friend or relatives house if I know them well and they have a clean bathroom but I prefer home. I have only done it 5 times or less in public restrooms such as school, work or in general public restrooms period since I can remember going to the restroom on my own and I am almost 26 now and the last time I did #2 in a public restroom was well over 10 years ago but no more than 15 years ago and that was one of those rare moments where I had to go or risk public humiliation.

I was wondering if anyone else hate to do #2 in a public restroom or is it just me?

I haven't found anybody who can give a reasonable answer to that ?.. We call each other Ni--a all day long but when someone else does it we get offended by it? Can someone tell me why that is? I was watchin this talk show one day and it had Russell Simmons on it, the host asked him that same ? and I damn near fell out the chair when I heard his answer.. He said something like black ppl have turned that word into somethin beautiful.. Back in the day white ppl used it as a racial comment but we (black ppl) made it mean something positive.. I'm not quoting word for word.. I was shocked when he said that. So I challenge anyone to give a real reason to mah question..

In a christian context:
The bible teaches that homosexuality is forbidden. So is revenge, and adultry and besiality.
I will no longer argue the point of how someone became homosexual.
I just wonder why this desire is not fought against like we should fight against other "natural", but prohibited desires?
I am not a 'homophobe", as I do not fear homosexuals. I am not a bigot, I am not intolerant. I have a firm set of beliefs that guide me and, as I am ot the arbiter of right and wrong, I rely on a higher, incorruptable standard.
I just wonder if anyone in the homosexual community has thought along these lines.
I guess I am asking if the same claim of "I was born this way" is acceptable to you if it is used in the case of people who like sex with young (pre-pubescent) children or sex with animals?
If not, How can you defeat their claim and keep yours?

I mean gyros are delicious, but they can be quite messy. If you had 100 gyros in your pocket, you would get sauce all over your pants. And how many gyros can you carry around? Not as many as $'s, I'll bet.

First look at

I've been getting some interesting answers about animals and the capacity to sin (or lack therof).... do you (why do you) think that animals don't have souls or that animals do not have a god?

If God created the animals at the same time (more or less, we really don't know) as us than I imagine that they were created in order to serve a purpose and there is an ends to which they are called... the inverse of that would be to believe that God made animals just for the heck of it and that none of them really have any reason to live...

Does anyone know any relevant bible passages to this?

Curious what do you guys think of American accents to those in other countries?

Such as a Spanish accent from Spain and Australian accents are real turn-on's for me as well as Irish or Scottish, because it is something different.

So what of the American accent can it be sexy? or in your experiences is it more crude and brash?

Just curious thanks again and have a good one--JammieG.

its hardly fair that in England where i am i take racist comments from lots of black people and immegrants, they come to our country and then are racists to their grascious host, harld fair, and as soon as us whites retaliate they get pis*ed off and over react, ofetn getting violent and nasty. I mean its like if u were punched you'd hit em back, you can only take so much before returning the abuse and retaliating. im not saying all black people are racist to white people and vice versa.

God told us that we will all stand before him on judgement day. And he also told us there is only one way to heaven. And that is throught Jesus. So what will you say to God when you stand before him, because we all will.

1. If he loves them why does he not remove them from hell?
2. Even if it were possible for someone to reject God and choose to go to hell, if he loved them why would he let that happen?
3. Does God love the idea of a person having so called "freewill" more than he loves the individual?
4. If God still loves the person in hell, can you love your child, spouse or others that way?

Yes I know that the Quran is the Word of God told to Mohammed. But my question is who actually wrote it? Mohammed was illiterate he could not read nor could he write. Which means not only did he not write the Quran he did not check to make sure who ever wrote it got it right. Who wrote the Quran? And how are Muslims so sure that this person or persons did not put their own spin on the text. And why is so little credit given to the person who actually sat down and took the time to write all that?

Religions other than Christianity are religions too...just as much if not - in some cases, more...valid.

So let me get this straight, Timothy Mcveigh went to heaven because he was a Christian and Gandhi went to hell?
