Society & Culture - 21 September 2006

Not sure if this is UK specific, but if someone has been praised or done something particularly good they will sometimes raise their hand to their mouth, blow on their nails and then rub them on the lapel area. No one seems to know why though ! Anyone know . . .

If I was Native American, I know 100% I would hate the wholeThanksgiving tradition. I just want to know your thoughts on the matter. And if you don't have a clue as to why, then go back to history class.

does hardship bring you closer or further to god/your faith? justify.

for example, you are soo good to everyone but you are given an illness that won't go away. or you only have 1 person in you life whom you love so much then is taken away. it is the hardships then that makes us either stronger or more grieving... but for you, what justifies your relationship with the one you believe in ? does hardship bring you closer or further to your faith??? justify.

We should all have guidlines, rules, codes of conduct that we all could live by. Enforced by a body chosen by the whole planets community with no exclusions. Religion in all forms should be banned. Its time to start feeling our way in the world. ie If it hurts don't do it. If it hurts someone else, don't do it. The rules are simple and most of us already know it.

I'm taking a Humanities course and avidly reading a work by Robert D. Kaplan An Empire Wilderness in which he describes so any instances where America has moved in a total opposite and will soon suffer civil unrest due to growing panic and a variety of other cultural and economic problems.

Considering the many other civilizations/cultures that have self destructed can we expect the same, and if we can what will be that timetable?

Numbers 31:17 - Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.18 - But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Would you liked to have been the person who sliced up kids with swords? Or would you have just liked to be the one who held the little child still while your buddy shoved a sword in his stomach in front of his mother or vice versa?

There could only have been so many designated virgin checkers, so you would have had to be a hacker or a holder more than likely.

What would you have done? This was God's command, you couldn't have opted out..I would have hated to have seen the penalty if you failed to do God's command.

A follow up question..What would you do today if your God gave you the command to kill everyone in your neighboring city? I don't want to hear that "he wouldn't do that", because he has done it before and supposedly God is immutable.

What would they (the Muslems) think and do, about a mass immigration to say, Pakistan, or Iran, Kosova, or anywhere that was Muslim, and part of the deal would be to errect 50 churches. The other part of the deal would be to allow religious hatred to abound against all Moslems and then the final part of the deal would be, that unless we were not allowed to do exactly as Christ had instructed us, we would take revenge by allowing an underground terrorist organisation to flourish and blow up the very people in the country that was their host, and to issue 'fatwah'??spelling? on anyone insulting Christ.

between God and Devil, between nonsemitic and semitic, between minority and majority, between spirituality and materialism, between the nonorganised and organised, between subtle and gross, between partial reality of this world and absolute reality of this world, between para and vaikhari, between visions and gross actions, between eastern philosophical cocepts and organised western philosophical concepts, between Love and Law (or hypocritic Love or Hate), between pandavas and Kauravas...? Is the stage is set for a subtle Mahabharat like War ..? What shall be the strategies from both the sides ? Where shall Lord Krishna be with ? Who all are going to be Frontal Captains and Generals ? Is it going to be a Great Ideological War the world has ever witnessed..? Majority is with whom now ? Who all could be the Dark Horses ? What all things are going to be the weapons ? Are any body having some Great Destructive Missiles in Armoury ?

I've always tried to be mannerly and respectful towards other people, and that includes not invading their personal space.

I've found in my life that sometimes when I look at women, they think I'm "checking them out" even if I'm not (I'm a guy), and they might get insulted. Also, if I look at other guys, they might think I'm trying to start something up, or that I'm being aggressive.

How I've solved that is for years now, when I'm in a public place, I just check out the scenery. Sometimes I daydream and kind of stare off into space. Either way, I make a point of not looking at other people - I could walk by my brother or a hot woman and not know it, as all I see are colorful blobs.

The only reason I do this is because I'm trying to be respectful; I know I don't like it when people notice me since it seems like they're being nosy. I'm really frustrated because I can't decide if this is rude or not.

Does it bother you if/when people look at you? What is rude and what is polite?
