work. So I have been having unprotected sex for the past 2 weeks in hopes that i will be pregnant. What is the early signs of pregnancy?


P.S. Please do not be mean and say things like I am too young or anything like that. I am old enough to make my own decisions and I know that I would be a good mom. Plus I already have a job lined up after I have a baby. It is at a friends friends club dancing but they said that I do not have to take off my clothes. So you see, I have it all figured out. And you don't know me, so don't judge.

Anyone have an idea of why? I think that black people living in the ghetto do commit the most violent crimes, because they're poor and have nothing to lose.When I was living in Baltimore county, I wouldn't dare go into the city at night because that city was ghetto and most of the people there were poor, and wouldn't hesitate to knock you over the head to steal your pocketbook. And I'm Black! But the black people who don't have to live in the ghetto are just like the rest of the NORMAL people in the US. What are your thoughts?

The bible CLEARLY states in 1 Peter 2:18 "Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those that are harsh". So aren't black christians picking and choosing which biblical laws to follow and which ones to gloss over?

For the record - I am no christian and I don't condone slavery

Consider Columbus Day, Independence Day, and Thanksgiving. Explain how Native Americans might feel ambivalent about these U.S. holidays. What are the historical reasons for these feelings? How might current policies perpetuate these feelings?

At times, we see a dialogue akin to the following:

Atheist Scoffer: What about this Old Testament verse that permits ______ (fill in the blank, slavery, eating shellfish, child sacrifice, etc.)?

Christian Apologetic: We are under the New Covenant. Thus, the rules of the earlier covenant as described in the Old Testament no longer apply.

I understand the reason and logic behind this statement. But it raises the following questions in my mind:

1. Why is the Old Testament in the Christian Bible? It is clearly important source material. But given the Christian faith's focus on salvation through Jesus, would it not more appropriately go with such works as the apochryphal and deutero-canonical books?

2. If one reads and follows solely New Testament scripture and bases his or her actions solely on the New Testament, can he or she obtain salvation? If so, again, why is it part of the Old Testament included in the Christianity's handbook for salvation?

Thank you for your time.

all of the teen boys judge the contest and if you lose then the whole school gets to throw rotten eggs at you and if you win then they give you a years supply of birth control pills and condoms and bud light( so you can keep your figure) I really, really want to win. How can I sabotage all the other contestants? Should I sleep with all the judges so I can be sure to win? And what if I lose? What is the best way to get rotten egg smell off of you?



P.S. All of the parents are protesting this contest. Most of them are baby boomers and my parents are going to have a sit in in the cafeteria. I am so embarrassed.
