Same goal: All of them wanted enlightenment.
I wanted to know why and how these religions developed.

I was invited to have dinner with Tarja Halonen, the president of Finland.
I'm really worried about my table manners. I'm a penguin so I usually don't use a fork or a spoon, I just pick things off my plate with my beak.
Will that be OK to do in front of the President of Finland or will she be offended?

its not really like a crack house becuase they dotn do crack- but its like these kids who are 20, 18, 17, 16. and all their friends go over every night and all they do is meth, cocaine, **** like that. there is nothing in their fridge but stolen alcohol. they have no furniture in their house except a couch.
i know this becuase i had to go with a friend to pick up a drunk girl getting raped there last night at 4 am. we hate those people in the stupid drug house so much! if i called the cops on them one night i knew they were getting high, or they were already high (Even though its every night, day, second of their lives), or they were drunk (again- every second of their lives) could they get in trouibke/ or can't cops not go in?
how can i get them in trouble!
(i know i should help them instead of bust them but these people have f*cked us over badly so its pay back time)

Maybe you still are in it but there is one belief they have that you just dont agree with.

What's the best way to introduce yourself to strangers in a public place? I'm talking mainly about coffee shops. If a group of people are talking about something you have an interest in, is it rude to jump in? What about introducing yourself to someone who's alone? Is that more rude than bothering strangers, or is it better? (Is it better to interrupt someone's solitude or a group of people enjoying each other's company?)

i've noticed how the U.S. news media always says "Islamic terrorists" and stuff, making it sound like terrorism is a part of Islam, which is not!

how many of you honestly know about Islam, more than just what the media says?

i know there are people that go to anti-Islamic sites to "learn" about Islam... which is totally unreliable and wrong. its like saying Nazis teaching u about Jews.

how many of you know about Islam, excluding what the news & anti-Islamic websites say?

Islam is not like anything negative u think of. its not good to be ignorant (not saying u r); knowledge is a blessing... so i encourage u to learn what this religion teaches.

It's true. Really. I tell this to girls in bars, but none of them believe me. In fact, they roll their eyes and walk away from me. I would think this makes me kind of unusual and interesting. But it's like they don't even believe me or something. What's up with that?

I went to a nice restaurant today and the hostess and one waiter was very rude. She did not greet me, did not give me a menu (she just pointed at a table and did not walk me there). I had to walk to the table myself and she didn't give me a menu. Customers that came in AFTER me, she walked them to the table and gave them a menu and they came in. I had to walk up from my table to the front and ask for a menu after waiting 5 minutes. I finally complained to the manager. I have ears and I could hear the waiter (The waiter was not my waiter but guy standing next to the hostess) talk about me and how I complained to the manager. Mind you this is a hispanic restaurant and everyone working there is hispanic and I am asian.
I complained before I got my order, does this mean they spit in my food? someone else served it to me from the kitchen and maybe I am paranoid. The food looked fine but I was just wondering if they retaliated.

What ever feels good do it!
If it makes you happy!
Do what your heart tells you!

This is very sad to me that we live in a feel good in the moment time. With little to no regard for who it hurts or effects in the process. Rather we realize it or not every choice we make is infact effecting someone else. What is soooooooo terribly wrong with doing the RIGHT and JUST thing, instead of just what pleases us. I am just curious, im not all worked up about it or anything, just dont understand it.

How can people be so hateful? There are words of hate in almost every topic page about every type of person. Gay, Straight, White, Black, Mexican, Asian, whatever...we are all human beings and we are all in this world together. Why can't we all just get along. How do people feel that it is ok to express such horrible feelings? Don't they see how awful these thoughts make them?

I'm a guy 26 yrs old. When i see tv, or some media.. i see how a bunch of girls will say a star or famous person is Hot. Or even if it's not tv, in schools there will be a bunch of girls that will think that a certain guy is cute. If there's so many people in the world, why don't people just become attracted to different people.. not the same that a bunch of others like.
