They just have to marry someone of the opposite gender who's not a close relative -- just like the rest of us!

They don't want equal rights to marriage -- they already have them!

"Right to marry" is not synonymous with "right to change the definition of marriage to suit my sexual lifestyle."

Ok this is where I'll start well, my bestfriend hated her father cause he has a serious drinking problem & he had the home in a domestic situation.& well yesterday her father went with some friends 2 chill at a beach, however he was drunk went into the water & unfortunately he drowned. Now dat her dad's gone I really dont know if my friend will be devastated with this cause she hated her dad soo much & well I havent seen her as yet 2 know what state she's in. I called her on the phone & well my friend doesn't like ppl 2 worry about her so she fakes something 2 pull dat she's ok. I want 2 go look for her, but my mom knew what goes on in the family, my mom said 2 leave her alone cause when my friend sees me she'll feel guilty cause of the things my friend told me about her dad eg. she hated him. I want 2 go by my friend because I think she needs me alot right now. But guys do you think that my mom's right or should I follow my instincts and go 2 my bestfriend whom is like my little sis

Why do so many people care about people's looks? I have been wondering about this question forever. I mean in the end you're gonna die and is your looks gonna help save your life? Its a bunch of crap that guys care about looks, I mean I would too but then alot of guys/girls 0.o are asking what country has the ugliest women? It's really pathetic that the world is like this. Aren't you supposed to judge someone for what's there in their heart? Whatever happened to that quote? And please no rude comments/answers or I will report.

Use as a reference, helping the homeless, supporting sick people in the hospital, helping each other, molesting little children, going to war in the name of it, extracting "donations" for the forgivement of sins.

Which has been used more?

What I mean is if the culture or location is a must have a car, go to bar, go to club, attend the local church/synague, etc must one FAKE doing it in order to socialize, or accept that in order to maintain dignity of my own identity i must remain recluse?

Perhaps it's that tale of needing to like oneself in order to get another to like, but does that mean i must stay alone if i don't like myself as well, if so, what's the point of trying?

Notes, I have been to groups, therapists, shrinks, etc and have had this whether living in rural, suburb, or large urban environment.)

Remember, truly believing in freedom of speech means you have to allow someone whose beliefs you hate and fear have the right to speak. It means that even though the thought of burning a flag brings tears to my eyes, I have to allow others the right to do this.

After reading the above statement, and hopefully thinking about it, please answer: Do you believe in freedom of speech??

I told her that it would be better if she just spent all her time doing drugs and having sex (you know, "fun" things) and wasted her life that way instead of actually killing herself... my rationale being that although she may have just been trying to get attention, getting wasted and having a one night stand is something that you can get over and move past; suicide isn't.

I kind of regret saying it so seriously... but there was a certain level of truth that I think she saw when I said it - that her life really isn't THAT bad and that there are a lot of "fun" things out there left to do.. what do you think?

I think gays have the same rights as everyone else. No where in any American law, will you find "Except for Gays". You will not find the right to free speech.... "Except for gays", who must not speak. The speed limit is 65 MPH, except for gays who must drive 45 MPH. Or any other statute excluding them from any American Right.

What they do not have, and are not entitled to is SPECIAL Rights. Gays have the right to get married, just like any American. What they cannot do is marry someone of the same gender, or different species or an inanimate object, just like any American. Gay rights is a Crock.

Why don't you Christians Believe in Muhammed?
Why don't the Jews Believe in Christ (Messiah) & Muhammed?

We all believe in one God... and (Allah) is the arabic term for god, incase the not so knowing... realize that fact.

But would it be wise to ignore and not acknowledge God's Prophets? i.e. Jesus and Muhammed?

"Hikow mamtaqiym wkulow -> mahamadiym <- zeh dowdiy wzeh ree`iy bnowt yruushaalaaim." (Song of Solomon 5:16)

Some people believe that Muhammad is the prophet of the Arabs or Muslims alone. This is a mistake. Muhammad is the prophet of all people.

He superseded all previous religions. If Jesus were alive when Muhammad was sent, he would have followed him.

"For he will Guide you into all Truth." said. Jesus Christ

Jesus mentioned he, he, he, he ... 18 times. Surely this was a person he was talking of and was refering to none other than Muhammed.

Remember: For the Jews require a sign (miracles to convince) and the Greeks seek after wisdom:

I think a better question than why do people post rhetorical questions or why do people post things they know are gonna make people mad is why do people respond to them?

I am a non-christian and don't believe our fates are predetermined, or that you go to "heaven" or "hell". I feel that we all control our own destiny and that God is our original creator. So, with that said, I have been told that prayer can be helpful. However, if I feel like God is a creator and does not determine what does and does not happen and he does not determine if we are heaven/hell bound, is there really any reason for me to pray to God. Do you know of a church or denomination that might match my beliefs?

What is your reason for constantly trying to "correct" what you assume to be errors in an opposing belief system. If you are so sure you are right then why the need to recruit everyone who you feel isin't?

Does it stem from an honest place of concern and consideration or does it stem from a need to just be right ?

You are all like that annoying guy who quits drinking or smoking and all of a sudden becomes Super Abstinance Man! Able to forgo a cigarette and a beer in a single bound with the dire and annoying need to CONFORM EVERYONE to HIS WAY. Don't you see how hipocrytical and ignorant that is?

Is it possible for either side to just leave the other the he*ll alone?

What is wrong with you people? honestly, I want to know what drives this maddness?
