Society & Culture - 4 October 2006

I believe in love.
I believe in helping out my fellow humans in time of need.
I believe in contributing to charity. (My favorite is UNICEF.)
I believe it is important to do volunteer work, and I do so.
I believe in my family.
I believe in my friends.
I believe in admitting when I am wrong.


Fellow atheists - do you also believe in these things, or perhaps in others?
Christians, please read with an open mind.

I don't want to make it a cultural or racial thing, but every since I moved into a particular neighborhood, I noticed that a certain culture of people (Middle Eastern) watch every move I make.

Is this a cultural thing that maybe I am taking out of context? Perhaps someone Middle Eastern can enlighten me; i'm open minded enough to try to rationalize the behavior as a strong interest in neighbor....but really.... It just bothers me that if i open my window, someone is staring at me..or if i am sitting in my car, someone walks up to the window to see what I am doing.

Muslims must treat the Bible and Torah with great respect and the people of those books, but why?
Any Islamic bashing will be reported. Don't post unecessary stuff either.

I was listening to Mike Gallagher at work. I dont like Mike Gallagher, but his show comes on after the local show I listen too, and that psycho nut was on saying that her church is giong to protest the Amish Childrens Funerals who died in Lancaster County. So Mike Gallagher is going to give then an hour of air time in exchange for them to not hurt these families even more.

What do you guys think of this? I see the point that he is just feeding into this, i dont like the guy but I see the point to not want the families to go this. I wouldnt want these people calling these little girls whores and telling them they are in hell.

I dont know, what does everyone think??

Best description gets best answer, does not have to be informative in nature.

little Amish girls killed by that nut-case in Pennsylvania? Are you as sickened by this as me? This is the same group that protests at funerals for fallen soldiers, the one that displays signs that Jesus hates fags and They deserved to die because the U.S. supports gay-rights. I don't live close enough to go help and block them from the view of the families, but I would if I could. How about you?

The ONE TRUE Santa (pbuh) lives in an invisible estate at the North Pole, and knows if you've been bad or good. "The Night Before Christmas" is the TRUTH and proves what I'm saying, because it's written in the first person, which means the author is an eye witness and is thus telling the TRUTH.

I work at a daycare, and I have been really pushing the children (5 year olds) to say "please" and "thank you" and "may I" instead of "I want." I'm tired of their lack of manners - it isn't hard, I've worked with TODDLERS who know better. my question is this: if/when parents fail miserably to instill good manners in their children is it appropriate for the daycare/school to pick up the slack? How would you feel if you were a parent and knew this was happening in the classroom? I don't want parents to feel like I think they're terrible parents, but I feel the children have to learn somewhere, and if it's not happening at home, then it needs to happen at school.

I bought a new home a little over a year ago in a new subdivision. We were the first on the block to move in. We recently got new neighbors, (family of 5), and the father has asthma very bad. He comes outside to his backyard throughout the day hacking and hacking until he hawks up some flem, then spits. My question is, I built a stone patio bordering their backyard prior to their moving in and eat dinner out there quite often. I have lost my appetite many times due to this. How do I ask him to go inside if he has to do that or confront him. At times I almost LOST my dinner listening to it. I know there is medication for asthma but I don't believe he takes it? Help anyone!!!

They all raised hell about my questions about what is written in the Koran, and I just got a natty gram from Yahoo. I'm not vulgar or offensive to anyone here. I just speak my mind. Is that forbidden? Is Y!A's Q&A R&S section the middle east online or something and no one posted me the memo?

I'd like to take this time to say, my bad. If the truth hurts, take codeine.

I read somewhere that OPEC will probably raise oil prices when Ramadan is finished. Does anybody know when this is because I want to fill up my car before the price goes up.

This pompous typical windbag of a politician is a piece of garbage. On the taxpayers payroll he was spending his time trying to get some sausage!!! This degenerate douchebag pole smoking spooge gargling queerboy should be imprisoned and forced to pay back his salary. Now his lawyer is crying some story how he is GAY, and was molested by a priest when he was a teenager. . . . TOUGH CRAP you friggen HMO!!! I sympathize with anyone who was molested but it is NEVER an excuse to commit crimes and queerboy acts!!! We need to put this guy in a prison cell with five 400lbs guys named BUBBA, BILLY JACK, SKEETER, SHEEPMAN, and DONKEY BOY!!!
