Would you care if your college roommate was gay? I am about to go to college and I don't know if my roommate would be ok with my being gay.

He was playing around (after watching that "do it like Zidane" clip @ youtube) and head-butted me for real. It hurt! I got mad and walked away even though he apologized. I know he didn't mean to hurt me, but now there is weirdness between us. What should I do, head-butt him back? How do you "equalize" someone's stupidity?

I'm kind of in the middle. I've seen some spooky stuff. It could be my imagination, though....

Long ago i have read the Bible. A beautiful fictional novel, with nice stories, sometimes scary stories.

Then i came to Yahoo!Answers, asked questions about the Bible, and half of the answers told me to "read the Bible!!!"

So, i did that, but the Bible hadn't even changed. It was the same book as i read before. I still remain with all the same questions i have about the Bible.

I came to the conclusion that an answer that states "Read the Bible", actually means:
"You should accept my own interpretation of that part of the bible I assume is relevant to your current question".

In other words, it means "i'm right, you're wrong, but i don't know why"

Why don't people just say that, if that is what they actually mean?

You know, would it be better to be ignorant in paradise or to have have the knowledge of good and evil in this world.

Thomas Paine writes: “But admitting, for the sake of a case, that something has been revealed to a certain person, and not revealed to any other person, it is revelation to that person only. When he tells it to a second person, a second to a third, a third to a fourth, and so on, it ceases to be a revelation to all those persons. It is revelation to the first person only and hearsay to every other…”

I say: Why is that when God talks to somebody, it's always DO AS I SAY OR I WILL DAMN YOU TO HELL. Wuzzup wit dat???

I always wonder about this, and the question is just out of self-interest. It'd be awesome if a white supremacist answered my question. I don't feel honored, but please please please please please don't insult other groups, religions or race.

I recently heard of chimerism. A chimera is a person having 2 sets of DNA as a result of one embryo totally engulfing another in utero in the very earliest stages of pregnancy. If a person can have 2 sets of DNA as a result...is it possible that they could have the sexual desires of the opposite sex twin that they absorbed in utero?? Could this explain homosexuality. So often people say that they were born gay...that they cannot help it...that they are trapped in the wrong body...What do you think?????

what makes you know better than me?
i worship Allah and i know what i worship and IT'S NOT a moon god.
infact you ignorants are mistaken Allah with Allati a pagan god ( idol ) that was worshiped by the tribes of Arabian peninsula. and when Islam came ALL those idols were destroyed.

thats what we worship ALLAH the god of Abraham, Isaak, Jacob, Moses, Aron,joseph, noah, jesus and mohamed!! ( peace be upon them)
whether you agree or disagree that doesnt change this FACT.

If we are saved by grace, what does it mean to work out our own salvation through fear and trembling?
------
Ephesians 2:8-9
"8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast."

Philippians 2:12
"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. "
----

I am not trying to be argumentative I am really wondering. I have just been told different versions of what it means to be saved, and of course I want to make sure that I have been properly saved, (hell sounds so unpleasant).

I am curious how these scriptures work together. would someone mind helping me?

Also, can you lose your salvation?

Or did ur roomie ever walk around naked in front of you? This is mainly for guys, but girls can answer too. I guess this question could extend to a shared apartment. Did this ever lead to any "messing around" with each other?

I ask this PURELY because I was watching Oprah the other day and the show was on Married couples who's partner came out and said they were gay.. Now there were 4 married couples where the husband had come out and said he was gay and with all the men Oprah was asking questions, being very considerate, asked them how they knew and that it must have been so hard for them to come out, and to live a lie! Now the last couple the wife has said she was a lesbian! Oprah went straight onto the attack continually asking "are you sure its not a phase" and saying well I dont know how you can be having sex with your husband if you are a lesbian.. Keep in mind the (gay) men were having sex with there wives! This really upset me, and it did the woman too! I believe the reason society always thinks its just a "phase" with women is because of all the young girls that go around making out with there friends just to get a guy off.. what do you think?

Some family with loud kids has to sit next to us? Ok so the other day we were traveling and went to eat at this nice resturant. The patio was croweded but inside was not. So we chose a seat in the corner that was obviously away from everyone else and this couple with this loud 6 year old brat came and sat right next to us. HELLO!!!!! Who does that? It was soooo obvious that we wanted some privacy.

I'm planning on going there in a year or so, and I would like to have someone English speaking to have as a friend. I'm planning on doing something to help and would like to compare ideas. I'd be willing to get into something dangerous as long as it saved lives. Or i would be willing to help improve life for someone. I'm learning Mandarin now.

I posted here cause it's not just about travel. It's about people's lives!
