I am making a study on the dialect of London's working class. This study belongs to a field which is called sociolinguistics. I am looking for people who would be willing to be interviewed so that I can get actual data of this dialect, whether they claim themselves as Cockneys or not. I am interested in any age group: the social background is the most important.

I'm a very shy person and often don't know how to approach a person I want to talk to. What are some good conversation-starters to get a conversation started?

The belief in a god that is intimately involved in your life, and always watches out for you, or the belief in a god that does neither? What about the belief in no god? More or less perspicacious? Actually, who here actually knows the meaning of perspicacious?

Serious question.

Does anyone know?

And, if no one has, why haven't they so we could lay to rest the discussion over whether or not it was possible and/or feasible?

I mean come on...if you're that stuck in your rut, why would this site be of any benefit? If FAITH supercedes all in your mind....naw...in that case you're just lying to yourselves, making Faith be knowledge. But knowledge is man-made. God implied...'Okay I'll give you the whole planet..now YOU figure it out. What am I(GOD) like, capable of, you figure it out?. How could you possibly know if it was God or Satan driving you or wrote the Bible..anything?

If someone had a religion where the old ones used to burn animals, cheat/enslave strangers and commit genocide in the name of God....wouldn't you be skeptical?

why is it that when people ask racial question about being disciminated against or want to compare stereotypes to reality that people get mad and try to make it seem that we all are feeling sorry for ourselves? I'm mixed so no this isnt a white black or any other race thing. and no I dont want a reparation I just want to know peoples personal reasons, opinions and feelings

Joseph didnt Marry Mary until after the virgin birth. That means no ties with the step father.

Why not preach about Gods love instead of SATAN over and over. This is a turn off.

I have been asking various questions and from the responses can only conclude the following.
The Christian faith is illogical,hypocrytical and inconsistent.
e.g. Thou shalt not kill.Yet we are taught God wiped out every living thing on the planet except Noah,his family and the animals in the ark.
Apparently it is a sin of the parents to have a child out of wedlock.
If Jesus is the son of God and God and Mary were not married,this makes God a sinner.(Does it make Mary an adulterer as well?)
No-one seems to know for sure who wrote the Bible but it's teachings are accepted unconditionally.
Can anyone please explain this to me?

It is usually abbreviated to a 3 letter word ~ where people record white noise on a cassette and ask questions and stuff out loud, then play it it back and try to find voices of spirits and things on the tape.

Anyone know anything about it?

I've been studying art history & I've noticed in many paintings, etc. the Virgin & Jesus look pretty Italian! Is this because the artists were Italian, or the patrons were?

I've always wondered, so let me know! thx.

Do you think it's possible that older pastors don't know it might be interpreted as flipping off the congregation? (When their glasses slip down their nose) I saw one pastor do this repeatedly and very slowly.

the reason i stoped going and became ordained my self is because of this.
1. some of the people at the chuches i went to looked down and put down the people around them.
2. the preacher tought that if you didnt believe the way he did you were going to hell
3. they worshiped christ over god
4. every little thing was a sin even if it were not included in the bible.
5. if you went to the pastor with a problem the next sunday the whole church knew about it.
6. they tought more on the devil then they did on gods love.
7. they think their faith is the only right one

i study all faiths and religions and i took it apon my self to visit each religion for no less then a month. out of each religion i couldnt find one where i fit in the only peace i found was in my bible. you cant go rong with the bible.
