I myself am not homosexual. But I find it weird why some people choose to discrimate against homosexuals. What's so wrong with them that people have to judge so harshly against them? I want to see from the other side.

To all the country's that pretend they have democracy:
is it democracy when more than 20 kids are being killed daily in ghaza by the israelian army? is it democracy when american army is herrasing prisonars in iraq ( we all saw the pics), is it democracy when bush & his country use the vito to stop israelian cimes each day in palastine to call it self defence i mean are they defending themselves from the stones of the lil kids!
is it democracy when israel invades lebanon under the eyes of the whole world freely (by the way they're regretting that since they're being killed by dozens).well i'll tell u where is democracy: it's when more than 65% of the israelian ppl say they trust nasrallah more than olmert.it's when popularity of bush decreases to 35% in usa,it's when almost the whole world have hate to american nation b/c of bush's policy. it's when israel is being beaten in lebanon hardly:P escpecially thru the sea:)
well what's coming is more surprising!believe me!1country 1 heart

What makes your religion the correct answer? Looking back at history, all ages of man believed in different gods. What makes you think you are not in the middle of a "religoius scenario" that has existed a thousand years ago. If it is Christianity why are we not Jewish, as Christ was?

Every picture, statue, or actor I have ever seen of Jesus has been white. Wouldn't he have looked more like a modern day Middle Eastern?

For example, Mandarin speakers cannot understand Cantonese speakers. Shanghai-ese speakers cannot understand Hakka speakers. These languages are as different as English is to Norwegian. Even Italian is closer to Spanish than these languages are to each other. Please don't say, "because they use the same characters" since that does not define a dialect.

Hollywood is setting a bad example as to what real beauty looks like. So many stars are looking deathly ill trying to "fit-in".
1. Starr Jones,
2. Nichole Richey,
3. Kate Bosworth, to name a few.
Being healthy is one thing but people are taking it too far.

As in the Christian idea of a Rapture, Tribulation - with the stuff about Isreal, natural disasters, maybe even 9/11. Any thoughts? Seriously.

The size of the Earth and all the meteorites in space and comets, why do they not strike the earth. I know it's said the smaller ones do all the time and burn up, even many do hit the soil, but the huge ones that could cause the end as we know it. It seems odd to me that we plan and go about with our lives and seldom think of this, could it be there is a God caring over us? Could it be when we have droughts and prayers all over by farmers etc and here comes the multiple inches of rain as well hurricane rains.

Psalm 22
For the director of music. To the tune of "The Doe of the Morning." A psalm of David.
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, and am not silent.

3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the praise of Israel. [a]

4 In you our fathers put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.

5 They cried to you and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not disappointed.

6 But I am a worm and not a man,
scorned by men and despised by the people.

7 All who see me mock me;
they hurl insults, shaking their heads:

8 "He trusts in the LORD;
let the LORD rescue him.
Let him deliver him,
since he delights in him."

9 Yet you brought me out of the womb;
you made me trust in you
even at my mother's breast.

10 From birth I was cast upon you;
from my mother's womb you have been my God.

11 Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help.

12 Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.

13 Roaring lions tearing their prey
open their mouths wide against me.

14 I am poured out like water,
and all my bones are out of joint.
My heart has turned to wax;
it has melted away within me.

15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd,
and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth;
you lay me [b] in the dust of death.

16 Dogs have surrounded me;
a band of evil men has encircled me,
they have pierced [c] my hands and my feet.

17 I can count all my bones;
people stare and gloat over me.

18 They divide my garments among them
and cast lots for my clothing.

19 But you, O LORD, be not far off;
O my Strength, come quickly to help me.

20 Deliver my life from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dogs.

21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
save [d] me from the horns of the wild oxen.

22 I will declare your name to my brothers;
in the congregation I will praise you.

23 You who fear the LORD, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!

24 For he has not despised or disdained
the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
but has listened to his cry for help.

25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
before those who fear you [e] will I fulfill my vows.

26 The poor will eat and be satisfied;
they who seek the LORD will praise him—
may your hearts live forever!

27 All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the LORD,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,

28 for dominion belongs to the LORD
and he rules over the nations.

29 All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive.

30 Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord.

31 They will proclaim his righteousness
to a people yet unborn—
for he has done it.

the donor was a young man, who liked football and the same food that the woman now liked.

if this is true, could it be the soul of the donor?

I work in a call center for city gov't, taking service requests from the public. It's a very stressful job. The call queue is high, and callers are oftentimes incredibly rude and down right horrible. Over the phone, people are very brave. Some operators are so burned out by dealing with angry people all day that we can become callus (sp?) and are not as sweet as your Granny might be. Not a single day goes by where at least 1/3 of the callers are pissed and gladly take it out on the operators. I understand if callers are frustrated, but why blast the poor schmuck on the front line?

Every week I even get people cursing and actually yelling abusively. I ask that they please govern their language, or I will terminate the call. I've had to do it several times.

Why is this okay? I see it in the mall, grocery store, the bank, on the bus (especially!), post office, in call centers, everywhere. At the very least, they should care about their dignity by not making an *ss of themselves.

People thought the earth was flat and supported by God,but science disproved it.Likewise,every other proof of God is being slowly disproved by Science. Thanks to science we can explain nearly everything since the start of the universe.The only argument now is that God created the universe (i.e the big bang) but a recent issue of Scientific American documents that two scientists have replicated the conditions of the early universe in their lab.So it is inevitable that every proof of God will be disproved by science.So why believe in God?

While there are some valid questions on here it still baffles me why anyone would take any advice from a total stranger when they ask a question like "should I get a divorce?" or whatever.
