At what point do you set your ethics aside or personal beliefs for a job? I have considered a job at a videogame store, and I feel strongly that I should remove all copies of Shooting Columbine and tell customers we no longer carry this. This game is a ticking time-bomb: I can't help but feel that after the Dawson College shooting, we should consider taking measures to stop this from happening again. It's possible that the person buying such a thing is the one in a million who may end up shooting up some place you love. It wouldn't make me feel comfortable selling such a thing -- I'd be nothing more than a digital dope pusher.

I saw her on the Montel Show and she was asked by an Audiance member if her Grandmother was with her. And Sylvia Browne said her Grandmother has already been Born again in another Body in Idaho. Now we all know as Christians that at the Moment of Death we are either sent to Heaven or Hell.

Because you see them as someone who cannot teach you anything or you cannot fully enjoy experience being around that person?

I believe I have given all adequate time to my last question to continue the dialoge with it. In my last question I asked for one example of a conflict that was free from religious implication or influence. So far, not one example has been listed. Sence I was not satisfied with an answer I was hoping for I leave the voteing up to you.
Now to continue, as a free people, a free nation, why do we allow our leaders of both politics and religion to draw us into these wars or conflicts useing such a premise or excuse? Is there nothing that can be done to stop the hate and bring peace and understanding between the peoples of the world? Why must some be so caustic with others that dont believe the way they do? Surly they realize it only degrades themselfs and shows the world their insensitivity toword others. Think, then answer,what can we do, what could you and or I do to bring this peace closer to a reality?

Aho,

I mean, the girls are all wet when they come out of the water, and their shirts are nearly transparent. The pastor is always smiling. Why is that?

I don't like the thought of someone seeing me urinate outdoors. the other week I was in a desert and 200kilometres from the nearest place, I was desparate for the toilet but waited over 2 hours before getting to an actual toilet so I could pee.

I don't mind people seeing my genitals at all and I don't mind urinating in a public toilet. I just can't bear the idea of someone seeing urine coming out of my genitals anywhere but in a proper toilet of some kind.

My friends have said I am being irrational over this and that it's normal to pee behind a tree or bush in the middle of nowhere. Are they right about this, I can see their point in some ways but I still find the idea just wrong.
Does anyone else think like me on this matter.

And basically DROOLED on and eye-raped by brown Spanish speaking men! Is this a cultural thing or are these guys just incredibly rude or are they doing it on purpose to bother them?!! As a man I get either a blank stare or a mildly dirty look. But every woman I know reports that every Latin man she sees just STARES very SEXUALLY, very BLATENTLY. They've evn done it right in front of me and it makes me want to bust heads! What is the deal.

Fasting is one of the Pillars of Islam and is a form of worship, and Muslims are slaves of ALLAH, but you cannot serve ALLAH and serve man simultaneously, which is what you insist on doing when you fast in the workplace.

Fasting in the workplace can also put others at risk, as does driving to work, and the Quran recommends or commands that fasting be done at home.

Working Muslims should think about using their vacation leave to fast or obey the Quran by claiming exemption from the fast by feeding the poor for the day or days, or by making up for the lost fast on non-working days, which would see Muslims at fast throughout the year on different days of the year.

ALLAH has said that the fast is not meant to put you in difficulty and you therefore should make it easy on yourselves and on others.

Illnes also exempts Muslims from the fast and those who continue to fast in illnes make it even more difficult on themselves and on others.

Muslim should be honest with ALLAH.

I have always been amazed at why people feel entitled to things because they label themselves "minority."

People cite their "minority" status for religion, sexual preference, ethnicity, complexion, sex, hair color (tell me blondes don't feel abused), education, age, musical preference, political beliefs, wages, etc.

What new minority status would YOU create to get yourself some Federal recognition?

I have always thought the "minority game" amusing since I fit just about every ethnic minority qualification while my poor white male hubby gets blamed for everything.

Last Tuesday, I was walking out of my dressing room on the set of Sesame Street. I was on the way to the shower, and I didn't have my towel around me as I thought no one would be in the hall. At that moment, a school tour group came around the corner and saw me in all my glory. Some of the parents gave me dirty looks. Do I need to say the Rosary or something?

Seeing as how I am getting no response to my previous question, I'm assuming no one understood what a Mohel was. Oh and a bris is a circumcision. I guess I over-estimated how "sharp" everyone was.

So would it be wrong for me to invite the WSIDR, whynotaskdon, whynotaskdonna, and whynotaskdonking over for a little love party? I'd invite whynotaskdonny, but I know he's not into girls. He might be able to get lucky with whynotaskdon, though!

I mean, Abraham had multiple wives. You muslims all claim to be born from him, don't you? So there's two religions which should allow multiple sex partners, right?

If a woman you know said she was pregnant but the baby had come from god, would you believe her, or would you think she had actually had sex and was lying about it? Is there any good reason to doubt such a story today but believe the very same story in the Bible?
