my mother always told me:
you never know what the future will bring
always be open-minded you never know who will help you.

I already asked you to choose between Costa Rica, a cruise to Alaska or a national park. Now we have 2 more to throw into the mix. As most people chose Alaska, I'll include Alaska again. Now, help us choose between:
1. A cruise to Alaska
2. An trip to Cozumel
Remember, we are both in our deep 40's, my husband is pushing 50. Our wild party days are over. And our kids are paying for it.

Before the Moslimes, the Arabs were one of the most cultured and decent people. Many of them were Christians. The Arabs had a healthy society. When the Moslimes came--
(1) They introduced polygamy.
(2) The condition of women became worst(before the Moslimes they had equal rights). They were completely deprived of any rights and inheritence.
(3) They introduced tribal warfare.
(4) They introduced hate.

Is a good special that started minutes ago (at 8pm) in the History Channel. It's about several scientists proving certain events that occurred in the book of Exodus in the Bible as a fact. Now they have been talking about Moses time in Egypt, the plagues etc. It's pretty interesting. Don't miss it.

I find it funny when a Muslim is confronted with the truth they retaliate with half-truths.

Why is it when someone from the west brings up Muslim atrocities -- honor killings, enslavement in the Sudan, affirmation to beat wives (ever so lightly), Muhammads marriage to a child, etc... they bring up actions of others. Actions by people of certain faiths which are being addressed by other people of those faiths.

I have found that only in Islam there is denial that atrocities happen. IN the Christian faith, the Jewish faith etc., People within those faiths accept responsibility and don't deny that these things happen, they take action and speak out against them.

When will those of Islam open the door of silence and admit that some of your brothers and sisters are just plain bad people in the name of Islam. When will *some* Muslims stop blaming their horredous reactions to situations on everyone else?

When Muslims admit that Muhammad was a warrior and lived his life as such?

It doesn't matter how many times you get my questions deleted. I will continue to ask them until I have the opportunity to select a best answer. You guys always complain about not getting respect or being heard but who do you respect? Who do you listen to?If people don't approve of your immoral lifestyles you are always quick to dish out the hate label. As a Christian it is my job to witness to all of those who oppose or live contrary to the word of God and I will continue to do so. Peace and God bless.

If a Muslim murders a woman in an Islamic country, and claims that the reason for the murder was to defend family honor, in Jordan, as in most Islamic countries, the murderer is not charged with murder or murder that carries the same penalties as normal murder.

In Jordan, people who murder woman and claim that it was for "honor" wont serve more than several months, and need not serve anytime.

The woman need not have had sex, her murderer need only have felt that she was doing something "dishonorable".

Read the artile from Al-Jazerra below, it talks about the "Islamists" not wanting to change their "religious" tradition.

"Murder cases carry stiff penalties in Jordan, but honour killers usually receive reduced sentences since their crimes are considered to be committed in “fits of rage” or as a “crime of passion”, sparked by “unlawful action” on the part of the victim." http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/8B1CC7F4-AA09-4D35-99BD-3C556A03877A.htm

Is it just me or should the songs Promiscuous by Nelly Furtado be banded from shows like the TEEN choice awards.... I am continually in awe of what americans allow our chiildren to be subjected too... I know that it is the parents responsibility to guide their kids in the right direction but my Goodness... It's getting so that you cant even allow your kids to watch cartoons anymore. I just think It is completely inappropriate for kids to listen to some woman bump and grind to a song that promotes sex with multiple partners. What gets me though is that although these artist produce works that are so deeply sexually charged they dont even allow their own kids to watch t.v. I was completely shocked when I heard that Madonna of all people didnt let her lil Lourdes watch tv. This coming from the same women who was pratically thrown off of Cable TV..... and we know that anything goes on Cable.. am I crazy or is this type of stuff the NEW Norm?

I'm a big fan of concise, well-reasoned, readable, useful answers; and I do sometimes see those types of answers here. However, I think they are in the minority of answers for most topics.

I think people sometimes answer in semi-useless ways because they think they're funny, or would rather chat vs. give an answer. Is that the case? Is it some other reason? I understand there are some people that are gaming for points; I generally simply report them.

So, I guess to even further elaborate on my question: Why are people clogging up Yahoo! Answers with chat, off-topic answers, and/or short and useless answers (like a single word)? There are lots of chat programs and other forums for that, yes?

Does their successful continuation rely too heavily on effective systems of childhood indoctrination? Does religion fill an enate void in Man, a void which reflects an awareness of our own mortality?
