In some dialects of Spanish they use "vos" instead of "tú" and I'm just curious how this developed and where it came from. It obviously resembles "vosotros," so I was thinking that "vos" evolved from/as a shorter version to refer to the singular...? From what I know, "vos" and "vosotros" are not used in the same dialects, though; I believe that "vosotros is only used in Spain, and I know that "vos" is not used in Spain.

¡Gracias!

PS--If you learned Spanish in the US, don't you think they should have taught us this stuff? It doesn't seem like it would have been hard to learn the forms of "vos" and "vosotros," as long as they made it clear which dialects use which forms...

We say we love our country, but we are not serving it well by letting the national discourse deteriorate into name-calling and hatred. This is the United States of America where differing opinions should be respected as the natural outgrowth of freedom and independence. But I think that most people would be happy with a benign dictatorship as long as it agrees with their points of view and restricts other opinions. I think most people, if asked whether they would back the Bill of Rights now, would say no. How sad!

It is obvious that the Muslims have lagged far behind the West for 500 years or so. That is a very L O N G time. To what do Muslims attribute this?

I think it means something derogatory and I've heard people say it a lot, but I'm unclear as to what it truly means.
Can you explain? Thanks!

Presumably not.

However, throughout history these stories about Jews were regarded as facts. Now you know better and it seems ridiculous that people ever believed such lies, right?

So why, even with a history of buying into patently false misinformation about other beliefs do I continue to see misconceptions about atheists related as if they were true?

"Atheists are sad, atheists are boring, atheists are angry, atheists can't love, atheism is the same thing as hedonism, atheists lie, atheists have no concept of morality..."

It's not quite the same as thinking we have horns, but it is the same basic idea.

From where does this flood of misinformation stem? Why does it seem like our constant rebuttals to these falsehoods fall on deaf ears?

What would it take for you to see that we are people and not so dissimilar from you?

I read on a website about this topic and it said that 99% of people on the earth are Satanistic. They may not worship Satan, but they believe in God and Satan is linked to God. If you beileive in angels, Satan is an angel correct or he at least was one. He is a fallen angel.

Genesis, Chapter No. 4, Verse No. 12, it says… ‘God told Cain: you will never be able to settle you will be a wanderer.’ Few Verses later on Genesis, Chapter No.4, Verse No.17, says…‘Cain built up a city’ – unfulfilled prophecy. If you read Jeremiah, Chapter No.36, Verse No.30, it says that…‘Jehoiachin the father of Jehoiachin… no one will be able to sit on his throne - The throne of David, no one will be able to sit after Jehoiachin.’ If you read later on, II Kings, Chapter No 24, Verse No 6, it says that… ‘Jehoiachin after he died, later on Jehoiachin sat on the throne’ - Unfulfilled prophecy. One is sufficient to prove it is not the word of God - I can give plenty. If you read Ezekiel, Chapter No 26, it says that…‘Nebuchader, he will destroyed Tyre.’ We come to know that Alexander the great, was the person who destroyed Tyre - Unfulfilled prophecy. SO think over it Bible is not the word of GOD, scientifically as well as if u think religiously, so accept the truth i.e. ISLAM

Just wondering. I'm not a homosexual, but I heard that some, of this particualr type of sexual orientation, go to a hypnotherapist to "cure" them from this condition. Please note that I have placed the word cure in quotation marks because I do not consider homosexuality a disease, but am short of a more suitable word. I have nothing wrong with people of this sexual orientation, I respect their decision to carry their lifestyle, but I was just wondering if it's possible for them to rid themselves of this mental inclination, as I know that gays don't choose to be gay; they're born that way. So...is it possible to "cure" homosexuality through hypnotherapy?
