Society & Culture - 9 September 2006

I was going though the questions posted, and some of the answerers are always blatantly insulting to black women, saying that we're all fat and ugly and wear wigs. I don't wear a wig, and I don't think I'm ugly. I may be overweight, but that doesn't mean that all black women are. Why is everyone picking on us?

I work in a urban area medical center and i see too many things, mostly bad. I want to know that if he does have a plan, what do innocent people have to do. from murders to DUI far too mny innocent people are getting hurt. And it's not only them but the families have to also suffer.

I wonder if a plan of any magnitude is worth such injustices. That soo many innocent people who had no business suffering do just that. Anyone who would allow this is not fair or just does not care. And as for forgiveness, the MAN has not right because he might have caused it. We can not have free will and give him divine say over everything. That would not speak to highly of him. That might mean that he is not loving or just for that matter.

For the record I am an atheist, yet I do hope that I am wrong about my beliefs. It would not be right for me to wish that I were right so that soo many people could be wrong. I hope that I might one day find him because I am looking, just need answers

For all of you that decide to live forever - what would you do if and when the planet exploded and you were left to drift in space?

For all that decided the latter - what if when the time comes you're not ready to die yet? What would you do?

i asked this question twenty minutes ago or so. The correct answer is only the truth is right. Truth can be obtained through proof and faith working together. Those who think that there is no absolute truth and everyone is right according to what they think or feel: congratulations, you have achieved ultimate ignorance. Those who think that the bible is the truth, can you back that up? Christianity is not a religion solely of faith; you are called upon to know what you're talking about. And i do not address that only to christians...everyone should be able to know what they are talking about...neutrality is the worst state to be in when in comes to truth.

So I went to my mandarin class which is an advanced conversational class....this morning and I sat in class for 4 hours and couldn't understand anything. My mandarin teacher speaks very little english and I was lost...It was like I was hearing gibberish. I understood the main part of the text ..what the topic was..but I was completely lost...It was like I was listening to a language that I had never heard before..I've been studying mandarin for years.....Has this ever happened to anyone else? ..I've had classes where I momentarily 'blanked out"--(you may have to be learning a new language to understand what I mean) where I couldn't understand anything for a few sentences..because I missed a key word or something..but that is nothing like what happened today..It was like I just couldn't turn on part of my brain..Anybody out there understand? had the same experience? learning any language--even english?

before more answer. you have a genuine answer of what you think would be a good idea, or if you are of a religion that doesnt celebrate christmas then please answer. if you do celebrate christmas however feel free to leave any answer that may help but please refrain from any religious heckling.

im not christian, i dont celebrate christmas or any christian holidays.
At a younger age i didnt have a problem with peer pressure of christmas around my age, back then it wasnt nearly as bad as it is today but im worried that my child will be teased that he wont celebrate it like the rest of them. we are pagan and i will buy gifts for thier birthdays or just because i want to give them one.

I was just wondering what many of you view to be the beliefs of Agnostics. I also read an article that grouped Agnostics, Athiests, and Jews. It seems to me that Agnostics neither accept nor deny a higher power, but rather believe that the concept and existence of a higher power is beyond our comprehension. I think I agree mostly with the Apathetic Agnostic belief that mankind has been neglected by a higher power and suffered, and therefor, a higher power is questioned.

I'm totally against abortion. I hate abortion. I loathe abortion. I believe abortion is wrong and would NEVER EVER EVER EVER get an abortion. But I AM prochoice because I don't think the government or anyone for that matter has the right to control my body nor my mind.

If think you can tell me what I can or cannot do with my body, you are giving me the message that you think im stupid and that you do not value or have confidence in my own judgement.

Abortion is also a medical procedure btwn me and my doctor. Since when does ANYONE have the right to sift through my medical records????

And why do they call each other "trailer trash" and "rednecks". Blacks only have one offensive word, but whites would rip each others throats off!
