Im 16 and I am cought with a quetion that i need an answer for. I need to know if masturbation is a sin. I masturbate maybe 3 times a week, but i dont see how it can be a sin? If it doesnt get in the way of your social life and you dont put it above other things, whats so wrong about it? How would pleasuring yourself acually be a sin? I need help please. Also, i am stuck looking at porn sometimes, and i dont want to do that. Im pretty sure thats wrong.. and i need a way to stop. thanks!

Some of the people ranting on here about killing all muslim in the middle east, etc etc are basically fascists. One of them said in an answer I just read that Israel is right to bomb orphanages in Lebanon because the children MIGHT grow up to be members of Hizbollah.

Do you really want to continue to associate yourselves with these sickos?

Muslims on Yahoo! Answers are very conspicuous in denouncing the Islamic terrorists and Islamic fundamentalists and yet seem to be constantly accused of being terrorists anyway.

Should the christians be a little more vociferous in denouncing the extremists in their midst (who I am getting the increasingly strong impression are a majority on Yahoo! Answers)?

And for infomation: I am NOT a muslim

A woman wrote this on Yahoo earlier:

"I would rather see a fetus be aborted than a child be tortured, murdered or condemned to to a life of poverty, abuse, non committed parents and resentment."

Does that mean that a child that has been through this would agree that they would have rather just been aborted? All of them?

Who should be authorized to determine what level A.) poverty, B.) ability of parents, C.) abuse, and D.) torture a child MIGHT endure in order to allow an abortion?

I mean if just ONE SINGLE American fetus is aborted due to "Poverty" in the family, wouldn't that mean that MOST fetuses form poor, 3rd world countries should be aborted?

What about rich people that have worked their asses off from extreme poverty? Should they have been aborted too? What about John McCain? Even though he was not a child, he endured a hell of alot of torture. Should we have aborted him if we knew ahead of time what he would go through?

Theres many more Qs but not enuff room

For those who are bothered by it, don't you think it is natural for a mother to feed her baby and she doesn't always have the opportunity to use a pump or excuse herself somewhere private?

Why does our American society get their panties in a bunch over such innocuous activities such as this, or topless sunbathing? Yet we have magazine covers displaying scantily clad women as objects, porno all over the web and commercials where women sell sex and beer. Go figure.

I just purchased his book, "The Power of Intention". I haven't found the time to completely read through it yet, but found his concept of "silent knowing". It's an amazing concept and one that I can completely identify with because throughout my life I have just known things that were never taught to me.

Has anyone else out there experienced spiritual enlightenment and awaking from reading his philosophies?

Why is it when people find something they lost, they say " of course the last place i look". Obviously its the last place, thats why you stop looking, right? Doesnt make sense when u think about it, right?

Hi, my name is farah. I was just wondering if there were any guyanese people on this site. Also, is anyone able to tell me what exactly creolese is? I know it is a language but I have heard that word alot, because I too am guyanese. However, I cane to America at a young age so I do not understand the language that other guyanese people speak. Is the national language of Guyana creolese, broken english, or english?

I understand the idea of free-will, but this would imply that satan or humans thought or created something that God was incapable of because of his perfectly true nature.

I had a brochure that spanned 8 pages and used vocabulary that ranged from Real Estate to the realm of Accounting with a lot of language that even native, mainland Chinese had a hard time translating. I went straight to a local agency and got it back in a few days and though I am satisfied with the product I would like to know about how much the industry standard for cost is on this sort of thing.

if they hadn't eaten from the tree.

And presumably all of humankind?

Where would they have lived? The planet's getting a bit crowded already, imagine if nobody had ever died! Ever... where would everyone live? Or did god just overlook that?

herself as a second job. Prostitution in New Zealand is a legal profession. This woman was found out by her colleagues and forced to quit being a prostitute. Do you think this was wrong, as prostitution is legal there
