Society & Culture - 14 September 2006

This morning I asked several questions about abortion. In particular, three questions asked how would you force unwillingly pregnant women to carry the baby to term.

No one offered a plan, though many spoke out against abortion.

Two of those questions pointed out that without a plan, these people were, de facto, supporting desperate women committing suicide, throwing themselves down staircase, using coat hangers and other horrific procedures to terminate their pregnancy (links provided below).

Not one person opposing abortion spoke out against these alternatives to a safe, legal, medical abortion.

Now maybe it was the time of day. Maybe it was a particular crowd. And I'm giving those of you who didn't see these earlier questions an opportunity to speak out now.

It is fine to oppose horrific procedures if you support legal abortion. It is fine to oppose legal abortions if you are willing to state how you would detect and -force- unwillingly pregnant women to carry to term

Im sorry if this question is offencive to anyone or there faith but I would like to know. Also sorry if this seems rude in anyway...

We always hear about the birth of christ and how important that was as well as the importance of his teachings and death in his adult years... My question is WHAT DID JESUS DO IN THE YEARS BETWEEN THEM?

Hope all is well.

When a girl tells you that you're cute, you can say, "thank you, you're cute too."
What if she tells you that you're handsome? what can i say in return. (other than you're pretty good looking yourself or you not bad yourself.)

"A lot of people in America see this as a confrontation between good and evil, including me," [said Bush]..."There was a stark change between the culture of the '50s and the '60s -- boom -- and I think there's change happening here," he added. "It seems to me that there's a Third Awakening."

"He's drawing a parallel in terms of a resurgence, in dangerous times, of people going back to their religion," said one aide . . ."This is not 'God is on our side' or anything like that."

Any religion or bible I am talking about, basically I just want to know why you do or do not consider the bible (any one) real, or man made.

Please don't say only God knows. Just tell me what you believe will happen to me.
Don't be afraid to say that I will go to Hell.
I just want to know what you think.
If you think I will go to Hell just tell me.

Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Ramadan, Happy Hannukka - great! I have no problem wishing these things to people.
So why do the christians have to tip-toe around for fear of offending other people? They know when christmas is, they know what to expect. Christmas!
What are your views ? Another example of political correctness gone mad?
thanks

i don't know any jokes, i don't understand what people say quickly...i'm a bit confused even with myself.. Does that make you trash in the eyes of Society? I know it's true with Companies( when you have already been there for some time and they start joking around and having conversations)

So since football started I spend a lot of time on NFL.com and the nfl section here on Yahoo Q and A. I posted a question to the Gay community for fun and started reading other GLBT Q&A's.

The Stereotyping is so heavy, Someone Has to be Bi or they have to be Lez or Gay. They must fit into this redgiment, what about being one's self.

The idea that Straight guys are too afraid to admit they are attracted to guys thats B.S. in my book cause I'm straight I have no such thoughts.

Christians and their condeming tone when they have a closet full of Porn gay/straight whatever (I used to work at a hotel and when the revival came our porn rates skyrocketed) "He who is without sin cast the first stone." The judging is sicknin.

All the insecure straight people thinking Gay people get more sex than them casue thier gay, (thats so weak by the way) so they come on here and say gay people have a disease to make feel better about themselvs. Live your life and be concerned with what u do.

". . . and they sat him thereon." (The Donkey) (Matt. 21:7)
". . . and he sat upon him." (The Donkey) (Mark 11:7)
". . . and they set Jesus Thereon." (The Donkey) (Luke 19:35)
". . . Jesus ... sat thereon:" (The Donkey) (John 12:14)

Four Bibles all differ on this verse, one says he sat, another they, and yet another says they sat Jesus, and last one says Jesus himself sat. So if Bible is God's word why god differs in his books? (god with small letter because these books are man's words not God's. Real bibles were long gone).

In contrast, if you look the Quran it never changed from during the time of the Prophet Muhammad until present. Not even a letter! Because God says in Quran: "“It is We who have sent down the reminder and We will preserve it “(Quran 15:9).

Does it have to do something with the brainwashing they get through the media. I like asian woman too and woman from every place in the world. but many chinese men i've talked to..well including girls too.. they all say western woman are more beautiful..
What's the difference between western culture and asian culture.. why are we Westerners able to notice beauty of all people, and they see White foreigners as better?

All my life I thought that was a strange saying, why wouldn't we want our wish to come true! As I get older I realise that it is true. My example is if I HAD married the pop star I loved years ago, I would probably have been so disillusioned, and seen a world I'd rather not have at that tender age!
What is your example of this saying being true?
