Why is it that leo_galpalval(blonde cocasian) asked a question about black people and us calling our selves African American? I was reading some of the answers and I got very offended. It's not because we don't feel excepted in America. I personaly don't like being called blck because my skin isn't that dark. It's brown that's why I like being called African American. So my Question is do we really need a reason 4 what we call ourselves? I don't think we do.I'd even call my self a ****** if I wanted. what does it matter to u

Imagine it people, everyone running around naked! Muslims, between themselves, are always always always foaming at the mouth about this, they (overseas Muslims) really believe we are all having sex, have no fathers, and are all running around naked!

Muslims, so, imagine that your insecure hate imam's propaganda is true...so what? I mean, play it out now...what happens?

"Ohh...everyone gets aids!!" >>> Bullsh**t!! Nudist colonies exist and there is no such phonemina where they all have sex and get aids.

"Ohh, so I can see your sister and mother naked!!" >>> I dont OWN my mother or sister or any woman....get that? So, what I want is irrelevant...I bet you still dont get this...

In the U.S. polygamy is illegal but Peter said we must obey God rather than man. What is the right course?

Deu 25:5 If brothers live together, and one of them dies, and has no son, the wife of the dead shall not go outside to a strange man; her brother-in-law shall go in to her, and take her to himself for a wife, and shall perform the duty of the levirate;
Deu 25:6 and it shall be, the first-born which she bears shall rise up for his dead brother's name, and his name shall not be wiped out of Israel.

Im 14 now, and lately we've been looking for a house to move into, cause we cant possibly stay where we are now (many reasons) abd im just fed up with this cycle of my parents not having money, and having to get things that normally ppl in Canada in this area,and lifestyle (and time) dont have to. I swear I think i'm the only perrson i know that lives like this in this kind of situation. I mean im not some ignorant child who just wants to be rich, and i know life doesnt go how you want it to all the time, and ppl in other parts of the world are living with and in worse conditions, but it just seems that we've ALWAYS have struggled with money since we came to Canada, and things always seem to work out for other ppl close to us, but never us. I know i should be grateful, and god works in mysterious ways, but when are WE gonna get a break???

I burn incense alot, mostly Nag Champa. Incense is mostly made up of oils, woods, and such which gives it its smell, right? Is breathing this smoke bad for your health?

Thanks

Please offer your answer, (yes or no), and why or why not.

Don't give stupid reasons such as "The bible says so!", or "God didn't answer my prayers, so I hate him."

Intelligent reasons only.

everyone is entitled to their own opinions and everyones opinions should be respected. sometimes people feel so strongly about some things that they want no part in hearing why another person beleives the way they do or even hearing any point of view but their own. without hearing the otherside and respecting every ones opinions how can some one beleive so strongly in something? basically what im asking is how can people have strong opinions about things without fully knowing the otherside and even if they are very well educated about both points of view how can they not respect the other side. things like abortion and religion and politics there are very good reasons for what each person beleives other wise people wouldnt beleive it so why be so quick to critisize? does any one get what im saying or am i just pointlesley rambling again?

Ever wonder if they use underarm deordorant. When the female vampira takes a bath, is it a bubble bath (red bubbles, of course)? This kind of water doesn't harm them, only holy water.

call themseves African American. They are American the same as I am an American. My ancestors came from England and France, but I'm not an English American or a French American! Why can't we all just be Americans?

Yahoo! Personals is running an ad featuring a white man and a black woman. Would this have been done 40 years ago? Also, does it indicate in any way the direction in which our society / culture is headed?

I am not looking down on anyone.... However I am interested in answers from Atheist who used to be Christian, Judaist, Muslim....etc... whatever. You used to believe in a supreme being, How is it that you can go from one extreme to another? I mean believing a some creator and not believing anything at all is kind of peculiar? I mean isn't that a lil fanatical? I just watched someone who was such a holy roller that she had a tattoo of Jesus and a Cross on her back! and then a couple years later she has this epiphany that there is no Christ and no God either for that matter. I dont know....What was the turning point in your life which lead you to this dedicated decision?
