Only two percent of the United States is Jewish, yet they are disproportionately represented in the entertainment industry. Why? I know why there a lot of jewish professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc.) - it's because the religion emphasizes studying and learning. But why entertainment? Is it because they like to peform and express themselves? Is it because they are inherently more talented than others? Is it because most Jews live in LA and NYC, the two centers of entertainment in the US?

People who complain all of the time end up finding themselves all alone, but the Chinese girl and the foreign guy, who complain all of the time, end up competing with each other to see whose life is more miserable.
If the above question cannot be translated, translate this:
You don't know what misery is!

My friends and family think I'm crazy. I work at Super 8 Motel and I saw the ghost of a little girl walking down the hallway. She was dressed in a long white gown and she was looking straight into the camera. It was on the second floor. I told my friends and my family about the experience and they think I'm crazy.

Why did he surround himself with idiots (the NT portrays the appostles as stumbling, unbelieving idiots), then appoint James as his successor. THEN, the appoints Paul as his OTHER successor, gives him a very different Gospel to teach. I mean, Paul and James are diametrically opposed (if you read the Clementine, they are trying to have each other killed.)

What James was teaching (as near as we can tell) was a lot closer to what Jesus was originally reaching. Why does Paul need to extrapolate so much? Why didn't Jesus simply teach what he wanted? Why did he withold from his apostles and give secret knowledge to Paul. Why did he give an incomplete message to his people (the Jews) and give a complete message to people that he refered to as dogs (gentiles.)

If he wanted a separate message for the Jews, didn't he realize that James and his followers would soon be wiped out by the Romans? Isn't he omniscient?

I'm confused.

I would have assumed that the venerable Oxford English Dictionary was universally admired, but a lot of Americans to hold Webster's in very high esteem.

Which does it for you (doesn't have to be one of the above)?

God delivered me from my blindness. When I thought I was saved, I realized I was only in "church bondage". The truth is so far from most all organized religions today. They've built great walls between themselves and God with doctrines that can not be found in the Bible. The trinity, "accepting the lord jesus christ as your personal savior" paying tithe to the pastor rather than all those that minister to God. Organized sports is a sin, cutting your hair is a sin, wearing makeup is a sin, drinking wine is a sin, Why can't they just let people live according to the word rather than peer pressure?

Don't get me wrong, its a nice country and I have met a few nice people, but in some areas the arrogance is unbelievable. Experiences of nice americans and bad are both appreciated in answers.

Practiced as a social custom in parts of africa and supported by the Sunnah (the words and actions of the Prophet Mohammed).
should we support the 'right' of indigenous african people to practice FGM? how about when they are immigrants into first world nations?

In essence, all women that have had abortions should be in prison or on death row since they committed murder.

death row, sounds kind of hypocritical to me....

I think God is doing a terrible job. It is time for a recall and new elections.

For example, if I were God, I wouldn't so much about what people believe as much as what they do. I wouldn't be offended if they don't toe some dogmatic line as long as they were good to each other. And I certainly wouldn't have commanded Joshua to commit genocide and ethnic cleansing.

Also, babies would never be burned to death. Children would never get raped or beaten. There would be no tooth decay and chocolate would be good for you. I would get rid of the appendix (it does nothing except endanger your life.)

If there was a war, only soldiers would get hurt and the generals and politicians would have to stand in front.

And the greatest sin would be people think that they had a personal line to me giving them the right to condemn other people, to kill them and to wipe out cultures in my name.

What would you do?

I'm just working full-time and the company I work with has NO younger people for me to meet....there's nothing wrong with having older friends that are pretty much just aquaintences...but how do I make a REAL friend....like one that turns into a best friend? I don't go to college and most girls I meet, aren't that much like me and we have NOTHING in common and then that friendship will last about a week and never go further. I want a friend that is LIKE me and understands who I am and I understand whoi they are. I always see other girls that I know with a real close girlfriend they've had since childhood. I want a friend like that, but it seems whenever I meet a girl that I think is the "one" who will bcome my best friend, turns out that I don''t like her very much or she's not interested in a new "best-friend"..I'm starting to get upset and feel it's me, but honestly, I just want a cool friend who I hang out with a lot and do fun things together...where would I meet someone??

Does it bother you when someone gets on the elevator and goes up only one floor? (This is assuming that a) there's an accessible stairway nearby; b) the person isn't carrying a heavy or cumbersome luggage/briefcase; and c) the person isn't physically disabled.)
