I know I probably just opened a can of worms here, but I'm sorry, I'm f*cking tired of hearing some fat people b*tch and moan because they're fat, but then they'll go grab some burgers and fries! What the hell?
Don't ***** at me about how your fat if you're not going to do anything about it!

Movies represent the role of STORYTELLING for most part of the world (the 'developed' world anyway); shouldn't all those who are involved in making movies be taking their jobs a LOT more seriously than they are? Their role as 'storyteller' for human society is a big one -- and they shouldn't be financially supported and allowed to influence millions unless they are qualified for their jobs. The same can be said for politicians but that's a whole other story.

I believe we need to hold Hollywood, and our exonerated 'celebrities,' accountable for what they are 'feeding' our collective human mind, being the Storyteller to humanity that they are: By demanding (with our dollar) that they have INTEGRITY going in; and a right mind about their responsibilities for developing our society in a positive and pro-growth manner.

The storytelling that a culture brings its children up in is directly effecting the future world of us all. Is the 'industry' helping to create a positive future, or NOT?

people in attendance...everthing was going great..I'm a 57 year old gay guy who's still considered attractive and in good shape...but there was a group of guys(about 29-30 years old )behind me and everytime an entry in the parade went by with older people participating (some in their 80's..some obviously with AIDS) this 1 guy ..attractive enough..but more trendy and you knew his looks wouldn't pass the test of time...every time and older person went by in the parade he would mouth off about how these people should have stayed at home or should be in a home playing cribbage..etc) Obviously he was afraid of aging....At one point I almost turned around ( short of just hauling back and smacking him in the head) and almost said something like: 'You F***king moron..if these people hadn't been here you wouldn't be here today able to party about your gayness.They did all the groundwork so that you could openly be gay in the streets' I, instead, said nothing. What would you have done?

Why am i reading so much bad things about them? All i tried to do last night was ask if they where banned from the internet, And i got my throat jumped down and redirected to Watchtower there own website,Which i have read on many many other informative websites label them a Cult? Are they all brainwashed?

I asked a simple question and was dismayed at the replys.

Because after reading some of the posts from JW`s last night i really think they are.

I don't write Arabic, but have a friend who speaks it...but also doesn't WRITE it...and he says "Allah Bless America" is "Rehmat ul Allah America". I hope in an answer here, someone will direct me to the original question so they get credit for it---& I'll close this then! ;o)

A persons life can be ruined or ended in a split second, but how do we do the opposite? What ways can we help people and leave this world a better place than we found it? What have you done to help people less fortunate than yourself? (Please no religious answers, they do my head in, i'm after practical suggestions)

Besides being an excellent song...heres something to chew on.

One of the most important concepts in Christianity is original sin or the belief that all mankind has inherited a sinful nature brought about by the acts of Adam and Eve.

Rom. 5:12 "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:"

Rom. 5:19 "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners,..."

1Cor. 15:22 "For as in Adam all die, ..."

Yet, no amount of theological reasoning can make an inherently unjust idea seem right. Punishing billions of people for the acts of one is not only inherently unfair and unwarranted but also in opposition to other Biblical verses such as:

Deut. 24:16 "The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers (2Chron.25:54) :every man shall be put to death for his own sin." (2 Kings 14:6)

In this question the asker asks if Rev 21:8 convinces the reader to turn their life over to Jesus.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060807102231AAWnuYr&r=w&pa=FZptHWf.BGRX3OFMhDBcVwUHxOIRY1FhClnmkLoyqsJVXyvycA--#NbUvWDC.VzMF_au32A8W

Since I read in Rev 7:1 and Rev 20:8 that the Earth has four corners, and logically I know that the Earth is round shaped like a globe and doesn't have four corners, I know to take Rev 7:1 and 20:8 as metaphor, symbol. We are also taking 21:8 therefore to also be metaphor, or symbol. I don't think it makes sense to turn over a life based on an interpretation of an allegory, a symbol.

I asked the asker and I ask the yahoo answers community, because I want to believe in God, for empirical evidence in your God, to create a database of answers for today and future Generations, Do you believers in God have any empirical evidence to believe in God? Or do you believe and have faith based on an interpretation of a symbol, a metaphor, in a book

If god gave humans their brains along with freedom of thought, do you really believe you will be punished when you die if you don't see evidence of god and therefore don't believe in him.

I am a young healthy female. However, I have this irrational fear of death, which is silly, because I know we all are born and we all will die someday. Anyway, it has not been a total loss, as it has made me a more spiritual person. What is your beleif of what is on the other side? When I pray, or meditate, all I see is shapes within shapes, like flowers or mandalas or something. I beleive in a Great Spirit, or God. Yet, I am not sure what to expect upon expiration, and it scares me. Do we just fly through space or something? (joke)
