I suppose I could ask this in any forum I go into on a regular basis but I'll ask here because you guys and gals are among the most truthful people on this site. (By the way, I rarely get 10 points for best answer in LBGT -- I just enjoy the exchange of knowledge here.) It appears to me that some people choose a best answer that has nothing to do with their question. Others will chose one that validates their philosophical point of view, even though the answer is blantantly incorrect. Others don't choose a best answer and some answers earn ten points just because of one vote. Does this type of thing ever make you wonder?

Where people in states of intense emotion (joy, fear, rage, etc) are capable of damaging electrical equipment that is not properly grounded, blowing light bulbs, and experiencing intense headaches before thunderstorms or changes in atmospheric pressure? I have heard the name before, but have forgotten.

Humanitarianism started around the time of the renaissance as an idea form. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but not many vegitarians make it their life goal to celebrate the accomplishments of vegetables. And not many humanitarians adhere to a strict diet of humans, now do they?

That one of his employees misdirected me when I called to let them know I was interested in working for them? Let me explain.

It's a cafe or pub. They had these fliers up at my college instructing people to just call and leave a message if they're interested. I called one day last week and a girl answered and I don't think she took my message at all. She told me I had to go to "the realty building across the street" and someone would be in there to talk to about it. Yeah, dumb but I was polite and didn't call her on it. By the way, there is a CVS building across the street from them, not a realty building.

Should I tell the owner someone is deliberately misdirecting potential employees?

Hey, it's a waitressing job, but a nice way to meet folks and earn money....

From most people, I've basically heard that we will lead boring lives. I heard that we will be like angels, not married, and possibly have unisex bodies. I saw pictures of Heaven in Jehovah's Witness pamphlets. In the pictures were beautiful nature scenes with different animals and people dressed in modern clother. Can somebody clarify any of this?

Do you ever see someone so sucessful and know there is no reason they should be? I think the consequence is that you die a horrible death or something after you reach your success. Left EYE from that group TLC comes to mind. They were they biggest female selling group for sometime and they couldn't even sing. Scarlet Johansen is considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood? George Bush is president and Arnold Schwarzeneeger is the governor, come on now! Are we that stupid or did some one sell their soul?

All living organisms exhibit self-Love through their defense mechanisms. The more sentient the organism, the more it is capable of exhibiting Love for others.

The most sentient organism, god, exhibits Love for everything.

The more we Love, the closer we merge with the sentience of god.

I am christian. Therefore, I am worried that I may have done something wrong by allowing someone to make a tarot reading for me more than once. Although I know that tarot readings only show the possibilities if everything goes according to plan (they do not predict what is going to happen in the future as it all depends on our free will), I still worry that these readings may be a source from the devil.

The column will feature anything I wish to write about, global issues/current events, personal experience/reflection, etc. I want something very original, not rhymy, but catchy and intellectually based.

I am saved but one time a made a mistake. I was lonely and kissed another man and had oral sex with him. We never had intercourse but I still know that what I did wasn't right. I knew it was wrong when I did it but I could not help myself. Afterwards I knew that I commited a sin against God and I repented but every since I had not heard from God. Do you think that I will still go to heaven or do you think God has forgotten me? Also, do you think that I can be punished on earth for the sin I committed? This is very serious for me so please don't respond with jokes. I know that in the Bible it says that if we commit adultery along with some other stuff we will not see heaven but what if I repented?
