Society & Culture - 17 August 2006

Okay, so I am going to college in a week as a freshman. I love this college and think it is just the right place for me to be for my future career. Only problem is that I have just recently come to terms with the fact that I am bi, and more likely a lesbian. That is fine by me, but this school is not only really, really conservative but also is 80% male! It feels that I won't be able to tell everyone who I really am and my chances of getting a girlfriend are like nil! What should I do?

Are our lives predetermined or is life what we make it?

Ok, just two more questions, then I'm off. Yes, I'm a beginner witch, that's why I'm asking so many questions. Sorry to the witches that I'm probably on their last nerve with these. From my last question, I got a little worried about the "Casting a Circle" part. I really don't know how to cast a circle (I practiced with quick chants/spells that didn't involve anything such as candles or circle). I know some people do it with chalk, but I want to know the most efficient way. I also wanted to know about faery magic. I am almost completely clueless about this type. And again, I'm so sorry about the constant witchcraft help. I do hope you understand. Thanks in advance! :D

This species was discovered recently in Indonesia, where many other dwarf animal species (ex: dwarf elephants) have been discovered.

Their brain-size was not much larger than chimps and they were on average about three feet tall. But they had tools and made fires.

People who are ignorant of evolution or the science of anthropolgy, may say something ignorant like "this fossil discovery was simply that of a small child or person with dwarfism". Please learn about the science before you say stupid things, once you read about the tests they do to determine age, time period, etc., you will not open your ignorant mouth like that in front of real people.

So, we have a whole other human-like species running around in indonesia. They only perished 12,000 years ago and the islanders still pass along fables describing small human-like creatures.

Were they made in God's image too..cause they were man or ape?

My life is falling apart for these reasons:
Argus left me a month ago and hasnt returned. He is sleeping at Wilmas house from the Foodmart and shes ugly. I miss him

Stinky my possum is giving my a hard time. He no longer wants to eat his chicken bones. SOmetimes the neighbors leave catfood outside their trailer and I steal some but it seems like Stinky is getting pickier by the day. I love him but Hes giving me a hard time

The cops say I cant bath outside in my aluminum tub outside my trailer. There is no room in my trailer to put a tub and all we have is a toilet and a sink that barely works

Everytime I go anywhere men just wont stop flirting with me and making sexual advances. Im sick of it. Even girls flirt with me.

Theres just so much Im dealing with and now I I prostitute on the weekends to make extra money but so far nobody has paid me. They tell me theyll get me later than i never see them again


IM HAVING A BAD DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It seems to me that it is the latter. At least that's how I read it. I don't think that "accepting" Christ as your savior is sufficient to save yourself from sin, but in trying to live like him you are "accepting" him into your life. Any thoughts?

Why don't we all just stop? Why don't we forget the past? Why not forgive our enemies now? Forget who's 'right' and who's 'wrong'? We're all wrong for fighting. Forget who 'started it'. We all know our respective makers detest war, yet we continue to fight. Those of us who kill unjustly will be punished by our maker. Only the maker can judge us. Please stop now. Our children will thank us.

But I am thinking about cutting everything Paul wrote out. Does anyone else think this way, and if so, what is their denomination? I think we focus too much on the teachings of Christ "through" Paul and not enough on the stuff Christ said himself. Any thoughts?

According to Jesus if you help your fellow man, its the same as if you helped him....

Matthew
34Then the King will tell those on his right hand,'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

35 for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.
36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'
37 "Then the righteous will answer him, saying,'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?
38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?
39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

40 "The King will answer them,'Most certainly I tell you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

do you try to raise others up, or bring them down...? can you imagine what it would look like if we actively tried to build each other up, just because?

Are you willing to make the sacrifice of sleeping with a man you never met, in order to save a soul?

A real Christian would be willing to everything within their power to save another person's soul.

So where do you stand? What say you?

Why is it called "coming out of the closet"? I get the "coming out," part, but I really don't get why they had to throw the closet in there...why not some other kind of enclosed space?

before you start shouting at me saying , would you like your surgeon to be stoned before operating , or would you like your pilot to be stoned be setting off , well obviosly not , but i wouldnt like them to be drunk either , and thats legal , of corse they should be some regulations to it as there is to alcohol .
think of a saturday night down the pub , the drunken fights and agro . what can you say about the stoners , exactly not alot , because they draw alot less attention to them selves n cause less trouble then those drunks down town ,
some say they are a gateway to harder drugs , but in fact the gateway to harder drugs is having to go to dealers that will push harder drugs on easily led youngsters , legalizing it would move it away from harder drugs , your local corner shop isnt going to ask if you like a bag of heroin to go with that are they , if it was legal the government could tax it , they could save money on sending poor stoners who really hurt anyone to jail ,

What about the new stars and planets that we're always discovering with the aid of powerful telescopes? What use are they?

/again, not trying to be mean. Just a thought I had.
