how come guys can remember endless unimportant stats like how many millenium falcons there were in Star Wars or every goal scored by David Beckham in 1996 yet they're incapable of remembering birthdays or anniversaries?

stated that we didn't evolve from monkeys but from a common animal that both evolved from. So I still have the same question!
Why did we , humans, not evolve with the phyical skills that monkeys have? Instead we evolved into pretty rigid, easliy broken, creatures. There can not be a logical answer to this but give it a shot. Why?

jesus theaching was causing greek and romans to convert to judyism because it was so profoung BUT coming from the mouth of a hebrew . this was not exceptable they could not rebute his word so they imortilize him like all of there past gods in order to make him exceptable ro rest of the roman and greek world,. the gretatest transformation ever from yashua to jesus hebrew to greek. a name ties you into culture which ties you into a method wihich ties you in to a belief system. if you change the name you change every thing you erase the past and creat a future for the transformed subject. making him exceptable to who ever you fasion him to satisfiy.

Why would a person conciously go out of their way and ignorantly condemn a whole group of people, of whom they know nothing about, for the supremely irrelevant and inconsequencial aspect of their sexual orientation and the sex acts they perform in the privacy and comfort of their private space with fellow consenting adults?

I looked really great and their boyfriends/husbands were hitting on me and buying me drinks. I was a bit drunk so I might have been flirting back. However, they followed us out to our car and started beating me up. I don't think this was right at all. My boyfriend was there and not drinking and didn't have a problem with guys flirting with me! It was not like I was touching them, just smiling! Why can girls be so mean? I was dressed sexy but looked cute. Also, I'm normally very shy and I never start fights! Luckily, my bf and his sister were able to get the girls off me. Don't you think they should've been arrested?

This was the question posed by Pontious Pilate at one of the most famous trials of all time.

The answer, was Jesus Christ, but in unique way. There is a new relationship between Truth and the colors of the rainbow; LIGHT.

What causes loneliness when people have a good home, family, friends, finances and faith? Yet others are happy coping on the bare minimum to survive. I hear people say they are lonely even in a crowded room so what is the solution? Or isn't there one?

Why do some people answer these questions in a rude, condesceding way when all people ask for is a little real advice? I know that from this question I will get some rude, inappropriate answers anyway.

4:11 Allah directs you as regards your children's (Inheritance): to the male a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or
more, Their share is two-thirds of the inheritance; if only one, her, share is a half. For parents, a sixth share of the inheritance to
each, if the deceased left children; if no children, and the parents are the heirs, the mother has a third; if the deceased left brothers
the mother has a sixth, 4:12 In what your wives leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment. 4:176 If it is a man that dies, leaving a sister but no child, she shall have half the inheritance: If a woman dies and leaves no child, her brother takes her inheritance: If there are two sisters, they shall have two-thirds of the inheritance. If there are brothers and sisters, the male takes twice the share of the female.

The most common quoted issue which has been documented over and over and having actually have happened in Islamic law is the following:

A man dies and leaves behind three daughters, two parents and his wife.

The three daughters together will receive 2/3 of the share, the parents will receive 1/3 of the share and the wife will receive 1/8 of the share.

Do the math: 2/3 + 1/3 + 1/8 = 9/8 = 1.125. This shows that the distribution of property was devised by a person who had no real grasp of math. Since God is perfect and knows more math than any math genius on Earth why is this error there or allowed to happen?

Another problem: A man dies and leaves behind his mother, his wife and two sisters.

The mother will receive 1/3 of the property, the wife will receive 1/4 of the property and the sisters will receive 2/3 of the property.

Do the math: 1/3 + 2/3 + 1/4 = 5/4 = 1.25. This is not an isolated problem there are many examples. The hadiths gained in used to solve the problems of these errors over the literal words of Muhammad.

Why is this such a problem and not from God?
Simple Muhammad was making things up as he went. As an illiterate, he had no concept of how to add fractions which was not challenged by his followers who were for the most part also illiterate and why many islamic countries pride themselves to keep many of their people illiterate to prevent them from realizing the errors of Muhammad the false liar and a pagan of the first order leading brain washed idiots into death and destruction.

I live in PA and it's pretty much all volunteer firefighters. I am one myself. My question is why after 9/11 everyone respected firefighters and not today your lucky to get the bird from them. I was responding to a accident yesterday with a person traped in the car in the river. Now if people would respcet firefighters they would move out of the way when a blue light was coming up behind them. I know if it was them laying in that car they would want you to get there or if there house was on fire. So what is the deal with people.

Hi, everybody. Few days ago, i found a great website that will say out the things I type in lots of languages , but I accidently closed it without saving it to my favorites. After that, I couldn't find it anymore. The website is light blue, with some options bars saying, "Crystal....english"
"blah(forgot the name)......French" and more other languages.
After that you need to type in a block of words.and it will ask you to either listen or save as.
Please help me if you know some kind of website which is like the things I've said above!! I really need it.
