I have difficulty understanding how some people can hate evangelical Christians and think they are totally wrong, but they call themselves a Christian. What is going on?

When I was just a little girl, my family came to the U.S.A from Portugal, and we learned to speak English just fine, with the exception of our accents. My parents told my siblings and I that our accents would fade with time and we would speak just like all the other American children. I am in my 20's now. My siblings (I believe all of them) have indeed faded out their accents for the most part. I have not.

I'm just wondering why my accent has not diminished, though most of my family's accents have.

It says right here that in the past 5 years, the sales of the new, improved sanitary belts have trippled in the U.S. for women between the ages of 16 and 34. Although still a minority of sales vs. adhesive pads, the colorful belts, thin pads that now go with them and the various sizes of pads and belts are all contributing to a new wave of young women using the sanitary belts again.

I am a Filipino. I always practice & research about the three English native speakers' accents:
1) American - it is very common here in the Phils. & we Filipinos are used to it...
2) British - I always watch BBC World & Bus Stop, plus I'm a Harry Potter Fan
3) Australian - ABC news, Wicked Science, etc.. and I always watch Iya Villania speak

WHY IS IT VERY HARD TO SPEAK W/ AN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT! I know some stuffs like:
heller (hello), sir (so) their 'ow' bcums 'er' . And I also heard a Fil-Oz saying "KIRK FLIRT" - Coke Float
die (day), etc..
I am used to Brit & Am accent but it is bloody hard to speak w/ an OZ accent well...

I practice with my Spanish speaking friends, that live both near me and abroad, but it doesn't seem like I really have enough opportunity. I do the normal "improving in a language" stuff, like watching movies w/o subtitles, listening to music, reading newspapers, etc; and I do these things every day.

I especially need to work on my aural comprehension and my ability to respond in Spanish. I no longer have to translate in my head, but it seems like I'm not really improving much as a speaker, or at least in only barely perceptible steps (like vocabulary, which is certainly important, but not everything).

Ideally, of course, I would live in a Spanish speaking country for a whie, but that's not feasible for me right now.

What tips do y'all have that might help??

It seems to me that once the Islamists get control, anyone who disagrees must run for cover. I think it is an evidence that Islam fears the truth that they have to be so repressive.

Every human and every animal has a free will too, now animals dont worship Gods. Isnt it incorrect that God gave us free will? isnt it that every living creature has a free will so why bring God into this natural process

I am a member of The Society For Barefoot Living. It is NOT illegal to drive barefoot. It is NOT in violation of the health department to go to ANY store or restaurant barefoot. If you have been told otherwise, it is misinformation. Walking, driving and shopping barefoot is perfectly legal and healthy.

There was a recent press report about Jennifer Lopez sitting naked at dinner with her entire family. Roaming around in the buff at home is unheard of in India. Why are Indians and Indian women in particular so ashamed of their bodies? What is the cultural background for this mind set.
