Society & Culture - 31 July 2006

I guess I am a little surprized. Over and over again I see younger gays and lesbians still living at home with their folks coming on here and asking about coming out to their families. And over and over again we more seasoned people tell them to wait until they are on their own. (I'm in my 30's)

Is it really so important for you to come out when you are so vulnerable? You could be kicked out. You could find your self sent to a Dr. to make you straight. You could be cut off financially.

Why jeaprodise your security? It is one thing to be cut off from your family when you can take care of your self. But beforehand?

Does it not make sense for you to wait a few years until you are on your own and out of harms way?

Do you listen to us when we tell you to hold off?

Any comments from seniors?

I haven't been in a chat room, in probably 4 years, but the other day I decided to, and no one was talking, why is that? Any frequent chatters that know the answer?

I hate going into yahoochat roomsand being bombed by men who want 'hot chat' and c2c. I justwant to chat. I amtired of the ridiculous bots in all of the yahoo chatrooms and do not for one second believe they are anything more than a money making exercise for yahoo just as advertisements are a money making exercise on televsion. It is tiresome.

... and thus rid of the idea that your Koran and Bible are totally inspired by God, and cannot be changed, then you've got some pretty beautiful ideas in your books to share with the world.

No, you won't go to Hell.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the United States. Former Christians like myself are joining the perfect religion of Islam everyday. When will we reach the point where we can have an Islamic Republic in the United States ? My thinking is within 30 years, we will have a Muslim president.

How should we achieve our goal, Muslim brothers and sisters ? Should we start a revolution like in Iran ? Should we start an Islamic political party or take over the GOP and Democrats ? Will we need to pass a Constitutional amendment saying Sharia supersedes all other laws or simply throw the Constitution away. We should think of these things now because the time will come soon.

NO, Im not considering this, nor would I EVER DO THIS.

This is just to see what everyone's opinions are on this.
Hint - think outside the box

I have a hard time understanding how Julia's imposter is allowed to continually ask obnoxious questions while using her name and likeness. This cowardly person is too chicken hearted to make statements in his own name so he chooses to hide behind a spiritual woman. Could it be this person has an inside connection with Yahoo or worse yet even be employed by Yahoo? Hmmmm.... What do you think?

I know of two people that have denied the faith even though they declare the faith to be true.
This I am sure is common in any religion. Why do people do it? Do they have a lot of pressure from their family to stay with the one religion that he/she was raised in?
Give me stories if you would like.

Hi everyone! Well, before I ask this rather dumb and strange question, I'll just tell you that I'm 13, so please don't flame or tell me off! Ok, here it goes..

A while back (Almost a year) I started thinking about death a lot. I love action and war movies, and after watching them a lot, it starts to get you sort of depressed. Anyways, I managed to work my way out of that type of thinking sometime after. I remember watching CNN on the 6th of June, and they takled about stuff like the Normandy Invasions, etc..etc. And then, and interview on the O'Reilly Factor came on, and these two authors discussed what was known as the 'End Times' (Apocalypse) and how the world is supposed to end soon. This plopped me right back into that depression again. So, I'm wondering, what are your thoughts on this? Do you believe it? I've only heard authors discuss it, and not any religeous people. (Priests, etc..etc) If God created life, why would he abruptly end it?

Thanks for any replies!

(And I've already decided that Christianity no longer makes sense to me...so please don't give me a sermon.)

Who said that orginally? I mean about the banana? Was it Mae West? And who was she talking about? I was just thinking it and was going to use it to answer a question when I realized I was stealing it. And why cant we post a question in two places. This one is in Politics and Government too.

table tipping is a way of talking to spirits. I did it for the first time today with 7 other people and it was very intense...and I am absolutely convinced that it was real. I want to do it again with a different group of people to make sure. Any suggestions of what type of table to get or tips or stories about your own experiences, good or bad?
