Any methods would be greatly appreciated. I tend to over-react and would like to change my behavior towards those hell-bent on making life hard for me.

If God told you on the Day of Judgment He has decided you should go to hell, would you accept His decision and go quietly or put up a fight?

DO BELIEVE SOCIETY SOMETIMES MAKES YOU DO THINGS YOU DON’T WANT TO DO FOR EXAMPLE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE PART OF THE SOCIETY YOU MAY NOT BE IN THE UPPER LEVE. THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE THE RULES ARE THE RICH AND IF YOU ARE POOR SOMETIMES YOU TEND TO FOLLOW WHAT THE MAJORITY ARE FOLLOWING. SO AGAIN THE QUESTINON DO YOU THINK SOCIETY CONSTRUCTS YOU AND PROJECTS YOU IMAGE IN THE WAY THEY WANT TO SEE YOU OR DO BELIEVE YOU CAN CONTROL YOUR IMAGE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE LOWERCLASS MAN

What's the name for the white part of the eye? Give both scientific and non-scientific names if you could, preferably the everyday spoken one.

What's the name for the (brown, green, blue.....) part of the eye? I'm not asking about pupil, iris..... I am asking for the name of that whole part of the eye, i.e. the non-white part of the eye as a whole.

Thank you.

This is a follow-up to a question I asked yesterday:
http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ag8N4gcnTumjSJTCIbLkTaEgBg

Tho I obviously knew that question might offend some people it wasn't my intention to be needlessly controversial or offensive, I asked it because I'm legitimately terrified of this phenomenom.

If I make a factual claim, that something exists, or that some course of action is the right course of action, I'll naturally be expected to justify my claim with argument or evidence. Yet it seems we give religion a free pass on this. We have Moslems strapping bombs to themselves, Jews colonizing the west bank and gaza in a 40 year war because they believe god promised them the Palestinian territories, Christendom spreading superstitious dogma throughout the third world and perpetuating human suffering. Yet we still view religion as being somehow exempt from having to defend their claims in a way no other kind of truth-claims are. Why do we allow this?

just remember the republicans are for the rich and the richer, and also keep in mind enron, worldcom, tyco, martha stewart, all the ceo's have or had millions and millions of dollar and still wanted more. martha s. lied to the fbi thinking with her money she wouldn't get caught. and look what happened the courts order her to pay back the goverment $ 95.000.00. it cost her more than that in legal fees. my point is just the elephants are greedy. p. bush's staff, cabinet member were resigning left and right. one name to mind karl rove, releasing the name of the cia agent. i could go on for hour so just ask yourself what party would be the best for us. i think the democratics need to step up to the plate and quick crying and bitching and take this country back. the donkeys care about the upper class, middle, lower class people and there own country itself. regan, bush sr. and now jr. has managed to keep us in debt. when clinton left office we were in the black. first time in about 15 year

I often use this structure when making a written request because I think it sounds more polite than just "Please ...". Am I correct in this and, since the mood is interrogative, should there be a question mark at the end?

Answers with a reference would be appreciated. Please no smartarse relies: if you don't understand the question then don't answer it.

The separation of church and state seems to have been stripped away by organizations like the Christian Coalition and the Moral Majority who use their religious views and strong support from like minded people to influence politics.They influence elections and influence bills.The idea that our nation has protection from and of religion is no longer accurate.We are, I fear, moving more and more closer to a theocracy.The more people embrace the ideology of a religious groups like The Christian Coalition, The Moral Majority, Focus on the Family, and the many other fundamentalists groups, the more our nation will have them influencing our politics and elections and even our laws.

Should they be prevented from having this kind of influence?And if not, should they be taxed?

As a Christian I think religion has it's place and time.I don't believe in governing by the Bible or any other religious doctrines.I believe in humanity and freedom.Do you?
