Society & Culture - 8 September 2006

I think I should draw a chart here:

Hydrogen+Oxygen+Carbon+Nitrogen > Organic compounds > Unicellular organisms > Multicellular organisms > Monkeys (or if some evolutionists don't agree then common ancestor) > Homo Erectus > Homo Sapiens (humans).

As to the Billthedude's point, if we take god out of equation and we still do not know the beginning of the universe, its true, we are not sure what produced that initial big mass of matter. But my question would be that if we can't believe in evolution simply because it sounds too incredible that man evolved from simple organic compounds then how can you assume the existence of god, someone superior to man, with omni-scient, omni-present and omni-potent attributes. Is it not a contradiction in terms not to believe in someone inferior simply to substitute him with a fantastic and incomprehensible superior?

In english, we say, "I am going to the store." I don't know much spanish, but i would say, "Yo ando a la tienda." That, literally, is "I go to the store." What is the equivalent of "am going"? Would you say, "estoy andamente." ?

Sorry if this is confusing!
Thankyou!

What is your opionion on rap and hip hop music. I can remember huge conflicts between religious groups and the hip hop community form the 90's and some that are still going on today. Do you think that it is the devils work? Is there a place at all for it in society? Detailed answer appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your thoughtful opinions.

I've heard of many English people saying they use rhyming slang or something. But what is it? Do you just pick anything that rhymes with any word? How would another person understand it?

Could I say: "Hi damn may berry toot widdle curl" when I want to say "I am a very cute little girl." and people would understand me? I don't get it!!!

I think i'm so straight, i don't even find myself as a male, sexually atractive. I think being a guy is gross. Can I turn into a female lesbian? I hate smelling my semen.

What springs to mind when you think of Yorkshire and the people that live there? Just interested as I recently met some people that said 'you're not as I expected a Yorkshire woman to be'.

I recall, but can't locate googling so far, an incident in India, I think, where a group of Muslims and a group of Hindus claimed the same tree as a sacred spot. There was a snake associated with this tree; its prescence proved the rightness of one side's claim.

Therefore, one group would scare the snake out of the tree, and the other group would pick up the snake and throw it back in the tree.

I'd appreciate more solid info from anyone who remembers this, too.
Thanks and sorry in advance for any mis-remembering.

She was introducing herself to the class and one of the things she said is, "Even though I'm a teacher, I always speak in the vernacular." I didn't know what that meant so I looked it up and it said "everyday langauge". Didn't she kinda contradict herself since she said she spoke in everday language using a word that isn't everyday language, ya know what I be saying?

For some odd reason I seem to remember that fact from a Comparative religion course I took some 30 odd years ago. Isn't that odd? They All believe in some sort of Heaven and Hell?

It is a load of bull. I can't believe people would even believe in that stuff. It is completely false. It doesn't even go along with the Bible so how could it be a part of the Bible? It is not even a tiny bit true.

People spend so much energy hating on people from the "ghetto" for being drug dealers, gang bangers, thieves, etc. People look down on people who work at sleezy stipclubs or prostitute themselves. Poor people hate rich people for being stuck up, and rich people look down on poor people for not being able to make anything out of themselves as they did. But is it that people, in the general, not always, but in the general, are a product of enviroment. If a kid grows up in a ruff part of the inner city and becomes a drug dealer, is it because he is bad or because its all he knows and he's trying to make it in the world? Or is that all a lie? There are stories of kids comming from nothing and becoming something...taking the higher road and not giving in too what seems to be their destined fate. If a childs enviroment is better, would they generally become a better adult? And do people really take that into consideration when they are judging all these "parasites on society" so harsh

Bush + Cheney will have to go to heaven because they believe in Jesus and waved many bibles during Elections. Jesus probably don't care that they mislead the USA into Iraq and killed thousands of Iraqi women and children. Jesus only wanted to know if they are Christians at the gate to heaven.

That modest Kung Fu master will have to teach Kung Fu to the devil in hell even if the only thing he had ever kill was a fly.

What is your opinion?
