Society & Culture - 6 October 2006

I asked a question like this earlier, I got a lot of thumbs down and some angry answers, but none of them had an experience with discrimination involved. Some said "if black people don't like white people because their white, thats discrimiation" That is not discrimination. That's bigotry. Kind of different, since these people have no power to deny them anything to white people except their friendships. Should I conclude that it's because it never happens?

Like all grown men I dont aim when i go to the restroom. Infact, i dont even touch anything so that i dont have to wash my hands, this is totally sanitary cause i learned it at a florida community college. My lack of aiming cause the metal toilet to rust out, the tile on the floor to fade, and the shower curtain to dry rot in my girlfriends apt. she has filed a law suit to have me remodel her bathroom because she said i destroyed it and made it smell like stale beef enchilada. how can i get out of paying for court fees and remodeling her bathroom ?

why is she asking little kids to become so fanatical in their faith that they lay down their lives? if she's so determined to see Christianity spread, why doesn't she set an example by going out and doing instead of preaching to a bunch of kids who can't decide for themselves what they believe?

I do not marry a 6 yrs old.
I do not get my believers to stone to death those who don;t believe me.
I do not tell others im a prophet and yet be unable to come up with a single prophecy nor miracle, explaining with "am i anything but a man, a messenger?".
I do not sleep with the wive of my slave.
I do not, at the age of 50 or above, tell a baby that if i were alive when she grows up i'll marry her. I WONT DO IT EVEN IF I WERE ONLY 30 YEARS OLD.
I do not tell others that "an event that happened 600 yrs was fake, i knew it, i just had to know it".
I do not tell others that killing non-believers of my faith = more rewards for them on the "ending day".
I do not tell others i believe in Jesus and yet deny his own words that he and God are one, and that he died to save us.
I do not look down on woman in any way, they can pray with us, no problem. They are the helper God made for man, definitely not in the ranks of dogs and donkey.

Peace be with me, i see the truth.

Perhaps you should try it--- It's the Internet after all, and no one knows who the next person REALLY is.

I'm talking about in terms of playing Devil's Advocate, posting beliefs not of your own, putting Sacasm and Criticism above careful consideration of the Asker's question, etc.

I was at wal mart last night and had to use the restroom. I went into stall #3 to do my buisness when i realize there was no toilet paper. The man in the stall next to me slid a piece of paper that said "toilet paper: $1 per sheet" under the stall. After pleading with the guy to give me 2 sheets at no charge, i started cursing loud and banging on the wall. 2 security guards took the stall door off the hinges and escorted me out of the store. could someone give me legal advice on what i can do in a situation like this ?

I am a Christian and a serious student of the Bible. I beleive in all the major doctrines of Christianity including the need for regenration, salvation, the promise of heaven and the threat of hell. That the damned are sent to hell after the last judgment is no issue to me. The issue is : will the damned suffer for eternity? There are Scriptural passages that can be made to support such a notion; but only if taken literally. So, if I beleive that the damned will be sent to hell and there be destroyed (as cease to exist), will you think that I am a heretic?

We all hate the call at dinner time or whenever.Trying to get you to refinance or beg for money for whatever. Usually I hang up. What is the best way to handle these calls? Sometimes I get pissed and hold them on the line waiting, but my friend said they get more time so more money for them.They like that. Then sometimes I may get sharp or a bit rude. I know they're only doing their job. Can they have your number then write it on bathroom walls all over town? Can they get really evil? Just curious on how others deal with them, over and over again. I am on the "do not call" list but...

It seems like if I utter a single complaint about my job(s) (cashier in retail/grocery) some goon always says to go get a new job. So is the job fairy going to come down and grant me a new one, starting at my current pay rate, hours, benefits et cetera. I want to know what the people who say this do for a living that thier job is so stress free they never get mad and have a complaint.

LoL...I'm not even too sure what my question is, if you hate you job tell me why, I dont care if you complain.

And before anyone bitches, I'm in school right now to get a better job...but I need these ones in the meantime...

Think about it. If we were ALL saved regardless, then we would not be scared of going to Hell. Hell makes money for Christianity, especially in the US, where 'faith healers' and 'televangelists' sell us their CD's on how to avoid Hell.

If we all believe that we are sinners, then we will do anything to stay clear of Hell, and by donating or 'tithing' our wages to the Church - we buy a ticket to Heaven. Agreed?

First of all thank you all for answering my last question. Even though I'm a believer Im not a basher of those who dont beleive (I married one) My hubby and I have decided that the children dont need there first communion. I dont realy believe that I need to speak to a priest about my sins and of course neither does my hubby. Well my father is a deacon and he has really been getting on my back about this one..What is the best way to explain to him that my kids can just pray to speak to god instead of going to confesion. And that first comunions really arent that important to my husband and I just as long as they have knowlege of our faith(my faith). What is the least harshest way to break this to my father? Please dont be biased in your comments.
