I've been taught that only Med doctors or teachers should use their academic Phd as a title. Engineer friend insists we call him by first name or his title, never just Mr.

sounds pretentious to me....

I have been a summer intern for a company and my last day is Friday. I want to thank the people that I have been working with for helping me with everything and being so nice. I'm only sixteen and they are all older than me by at least 15 years, so I really appreciate them not treating me like a child.

I'd like to have something delivered here for all of them. Do you all have any good ideas?

If you point out inconsistancies, pose difficult questions, why do Christians just make it up as they go along? Talk about the missing link! false witnessing is a sin. And don't say that you don't do it, you do it as a RULE.

ANd if the bible was such a timeless book of wisdom, why do the MUCH smarter people of today have to have a theologian or a preacher explain and interperet all the jibber jabber and crap that doesn't pertain to today at ALL for you? And then why does it STILL not make any sense? And why do they then always resort to making crap up, completly pulling crap out of thin air to fill in the gaps and being so brazen and arrogant as to assume what GOD himself THINKS?
"If it doesn't make sense, it's a LIE"

I have been diagnosed with chronic dysthymia and constant, low-level anxiety. Since then, I have been having some issues regarding my identity. I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this. As I'm taking these antidepressants, I've definitely noticed an improvement in reasoning capabilities, but at the same time, I feel like my emotions have changed, almost like I'm thinking like someone else. Am I really my own person, or are we simply the sum of the chemicals composing our brain? Is society getting to the point that, when someone is deemed "undesirable," they'll be medicated into complacency? I've been mulling on this for a long time, and it's beginning to seriously bother me. I mean, I knew what was causing the depression, but I couldn't change it, so they drugged me. Does it matter who I am if we can drug me into "normal" and not caring that I cannot claw my way to where I need to be? Might I as well be a drone? Why is okay to do this, but not to end it all?

I mean, it gets so confusing. Who worships what, and how, and when, and all the rules!!! No dancing, only dresses for girls, hit your knees and pray every three hours, fast for a week if you think about masturbation, its ok to down wine with communion but not any other time. etc.............

Also: How did the monarchy begin? How were the first ever king/queen/monarchs chosen? Involves a lot about religion or something?

I watched Elizabeth (great film) on Film4 yesterday and this question sprung to mind.

Religion is taking away of learning.... People don't give much important to it... So when you claim you are christians, muslims, jew etc... Do you really know your religion or you just say because you have to says ?

The way we treat kids in this society is ridiculous. We can't say certain words because the kid might here. No more winners and losers in kid sporting events (someone's feelings might get hurt if they lose). I mean this is ridiculous. And when did it become everyone's job to raise your kids. If you don't want your kids to see the world, lock them in the closet until they are 18, otherwise, realize that life happens all around, some good things some bad things, and kids just like everyone else need to experience it. We are the sum of our experiences, good, bad, and ugly. So please tell me why I should raise your kids and why I can't say a word like **** just because I want to. Parents need to tell there kids that some things are for kids and some things are for adults.

Don't you think harping on how wrong it is to give birth to a child out of wedlock, "fornicate", be a "welfare queen" would be part of the societal shame that would prompt women to abort? Abortion is something no one has to know about except her and God, giving birth to a "bastard" child, proof of your "sin", shaming your family/church/community and the potential poverty and humiliation of having to go to social services is something that would be for all of society to see.
Don't you think the mindset of society and the morality police shaming women also prompts them to have an abortion?

I don't necessarily agree with abortion, so please don't go on about how abortion is wrong, and please don't start making crap up as you go along about what church, Jesus or God himself "think" or what the bible vaguly eludes to if you read carefully between and beyond the lines.
