If you could change one thing about the world we live in what would it be?

I would want to make it so that everyone has health care, no matter of wealth....find a cure for AIDS.

plz give urself a min ,human rights in islam:,the life&property of all citizens in islamic states r considered sacred whether a person is muslim or not .i'll give u proof : our prophet muhammed (saw) said :(truly ur blood ur property&ur honor r inviolable)
racism isnot allowed in islam god tells us in koran (o mankind we have created u from a male and female &have made u into nations &tribes 4 u to know one another, truly ,the noblest of u with god is the most pious ,truly god all knowing all aware)quran 49:13 also god created human beings as equal who r to be distinguished from one another only acc to their faith and piety.prophet muhammed (saw) said (o people ur god is one ur forefather is one (adam) ,an arab isnot better than non arab &a white tinged red person isnot better than a black person & ablack person isnot better than ared person except in piety)
so majority of us have nothing to do with violance of some muslims,they are guilty;of violating laws of islam.

African Americans are called "black". The dictionary definition defines this word/name as: Often Black americans, of or belonging to a racial group having brown to black skin, esp. one of African origin. African American. Soiled, as from soot; dirty; Evil; wicked; black deeds. Depressing, gloomy, angry sullen, total opposite of white, which is pure. With such a negative definition defining your race, would you want to be called black?

It doesn't say anything about this in the bible, but I was wondering if it was a hidden meaning somewhere. Bands like simple plan, good charlotte, all american rejects...would god allow us to listen to them (they aren't bad and they don't curse they are just not christian music)? And would he allow us to read things that aren't realting to the christian heritage? Or watch non christian shows on television, or anything else that isn't bad just not talking about christians and what not. Is this okay with him, or is it sinning?

I'm going trick or treating with a friend of mine, and we're going on horseback. We were wondering what some good halloween costumes would be for a mounted rider? Thanks so much in advance.

We've already discussed saftey issues, and are working with our horses now to get the used to the idea of a floaty costume (dress or cape) and know to be on the lookout for little kids. We just need ideas. :-)

when homo actually means upright, which means standing STRAIGHT. so, homosexual, means upright sexual, or straight sexual, its seem like a bit of a piss take to me, from whoever started using that term for em.

I have heard Churches should stay out of politics. Now it seems almost a sin not to get involved.
So which is it--not too or you should?

I always have the feeling I should convert to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. Why?

I know, and have heard of, many people that say that atheists are "Devil Worshippers", in other words DEFAMATION!
We live in a civilized world, whith FREEDOM of religion, therefore I think that if I'm acused of being something (D. Worshipper) that I am clearly NOT (not even believe it exists) I think two things:
A) If the person that acuses me says that not believing in God is believing in the Devil, he is clearly suposing that i do not have a choice, and therefore is disregarding Human Rights an National Law
B) NEEDLESS to say, that person is clearly defamating me
C) That person is a fanatic, or a disrespectful person
Conclusion: I do not believe in hell so, if you call me Satanist, the first thing I should do is call a LAWYER

Is it a past hurt? Is it becuase you want control of your own life? Is it just because there is something you don't understand? Do you just not give a crap? What is it? (I am already a Christian, so NO CHRISTIAN ANSWERS...I want to hear these people out) I want to understand.....

I saw this question that really baffled me -

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnsEdvjo5Ciks3YSaIYX7Vbsy6IX?qid=20061011155323AAd8iS3

It seems to have been asked by a young girl and I can imagine telling kids to be weary of paedophiles e.t.c. but surely if boys and girls associate with eachother during play they will touch perfectly innocently, does this mean brothers and sisters can't play together.

The same applies to adults everyday work and socialising requires that you have physical contact with both males and females, and what about sexual reproduction?(I'm not stupid, I know there must be different practices for married couples)

It just seems that this young girl is being seriously isolated from the rest of the world.(Or the real world even)

Surely it can't be true, how could a community believe this isolationist rubbish?

Maybe I just answered my own question there with the word "Isolationist"
