Society & Culture - 4 September 2006

Saturday my husband & I were out running errands & at one stop, a large variety store we saw no less than 10 (when we stopped counting) very overweight women in low rise pants & crop tops with flesh spilling out everywhere. My husband said we had better get out of there before we had to scoop our eyes out with a spoon!!!
Now, since having my boys, I KNOW I am 20-25 lbs. over weight, BUT I OWN A FULL LENGTH MIRROR!!!! I wear clothing that covers my problem areas. I know I don't want it just hanging out for all to see. I don't care what the fashion of the day is, HOW CAN YOU PEOPLE WALK OUT OF YOUR HOUSES LOOKING LIKE THAT???? How can you look in the mirror & think that looks even O.K.???? Do the mirrors in your houses only go down to your shoulders????
Let me give you a nickels worth of free advise......
Just because they sell it in your size or what you "think" is your size... Does NOT mean it LOOKS GOOD!!!!!!!

I know that in most animal species, the males clearly want sex more than the females, but I was wondering if humans were different. Here's a couple of facts that I considered:
1. According to research done by The Reader's Digest, women are more likely to have extra-marital affairs than men nowadays.
2. Human intelligence seems to elevate sex to a whole new level, and we clearly do sexual things that other animals don't do.
3. In most animal species, the females are the horniest when they're in heat, but human females seem hornier when they're older and no longer able to get pregnant (or so they say) ;) Then again, I've heard other stories of older women becoming much less interested in sex, while men always want it, even when they're older.

I've got most of it planned--a dance and swim party on a friday night with about 25-30 guys and girls who are around the age of 13.
What I need is some suggestions to make the party one to remember! I'm already going to have a spectacular cake, a board that peoplecan sign. I will also have a spot to take pictures. I'm not sure what else to do. It won't be structured activity, but we will fill up water balloons, beach balls, ect. before the party so that people can use them as wanted. The invites are on chocolate bar wrappers, and kids will be able to take home a decorated "chinese take-out"-style box filled with candy.I want more ideas to make this the most memorable party ever. Please don't suggest a theme, as that is not what I ask for. Thanks.

in John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. " Who added this verse in the bible? the whole christianity is based on a verse that it has been added by someone and it doesn't exist at all in the earliest scriptures of the bible? then why christians still believe in it?

1 Timothy 2
1I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;

2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

4Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

5For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

6Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

7Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.

8I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

With rents so high in Manhattan, what makes it so worth living there? New Yorkers swear they'd never want to live anywhere else, but what makes it so great? There are bars, restaurants, etc in every major city... and the majority of people can't afford to go to a Broadway show that often anyway. So how is it actually different from life in Atlanta, Phoenix, Dallas, or any other major city?

What is the point of being alive. Don't you think being alive is pointless. Why are we wasting time going to school and work when we can experience the afterlife?

Why are we alive, when we are going to the afterlife anyway, I hate being alive. I feel like it is waste of time. and I just want to see what the afterlife is like. I want to be judged by God, so I can get into heaven. What is the point of being alive, when you can experience the afterlife right now.

Why are we staying alive to live another day?

Why is it socially acceptable for blackpeople to crack jokes about white people and vice versa is frowned upon? Someof them generalize about white people i.e we being slave owners . But when we generalize about bthem being criminals (which they are a higher ratio then whites in america) we get accused of being racist. And lets say a white guy ounches a black guy everyone thinks "HATE CRIME" vice versa isn't such a big deal. Whys is this?
