I think this is an interesting question because it only applies to a certain kind of person. Roman Cathloics who are willing to follow the churches rules regarding birth control, but when it comes down to it, turn around and get abortions.

Do you think it's wrong for me to blame the pope for these abortions? He is the leader of that orgainization, and I believe rules like this are up to him to decide. Another reason for this is that the Cathloic church orgainizes medical care is many parts of the developing world. Since this is the case, the medical treatment that the people in these areas recieve doesn't include proper birth control advice and access to materials. This is also the popes fault in my opinion. I am fairly sure he has the power to change this situation. With a few words he could begin to fix many of the worlds problems, the african AIDS crisis, overpopulation etc...

It seems quite discompassionate to me. I understand this policy is based on a religious text

I want a BASIC understanding of the contents of the quran, probably without reading the whole thing. Do you know of any easy-to-read versions in English that explains basic beliefs, such as how one should behave and things like that? Or another reliable written source for such information? What parts of the koran do you recommend somebody start with to get a good idea of what it contains?

(I do not want to convert to or from any religion, so please no comments from anybody about this).

Just wondering why people think its a black thing, and why black people who speak it think I look down on them. I think it't the other way around; Black people who speak ebonics look down on me because I don't speak it and feel there is no excuse for anyone who does. Most people who speak ebonics choose to do so because they're afraid that the other black people will think they're a sell out. Well you know what? Call me a sell out, because I will not degrade myself to speaking ebonics to get others to accept me. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.

Maybe God meant for it to happen. Like it was part of his grand plan. Maybe God told that person that did the beating, "OK, I want you to pound on him repeatedly and then drop him off in an alley next to the projects. Then he will decide to live there and become king of the hood and will be super tough. Then he will come back and find you years later and beat the crap out of you. And he will go back to the hood to celebrate and buy a new home in a good area with the money he stole from your wallet after he beat you up."

I've got a couple of hats, some fun rainbow skirts, crazy boots, headphones, duct tape, pretty basic stuff.
Last year I was "Bam Margera" with a cape and a sequin top hat so... Something like that?

He was obviously gifted; There is historical evidence of his existence; He has many writings that can be used for reference....
In my estimation, he is overdue for a religion of his own. Discuss!

I have no clue what I should be for Halloween. I had been thinking Mardi-Gras, but all the costumes are so expensive! Like $300!
I don't want to be anything goofy like an M & M, or a deviled egg or anything. Can you please help me with some suggestions??

If i was going to go five seconds into the past to stop myself from going to the past - then all of a sudden before i visit the past another me comes streaming forth out of nowhere and successfully stops me visiting the past - wouldn't that prove alternate dimensions?

That would mean i was successful in stopping myself visiting the past - but if i didn't ever visit the past who's the guy standing in front of me? It would have to be me from another timeline in which i was successful in halting my own progression through time and the me in the current dimension is an alternate reality in which my time travelling attempt failed.

It might be a little confusing - but time travel is actually possible and this shows that alternate dimensions probably exist. The only case in which this shouldn't be accepted is if "destiny" guides our every move and in turn makes it impossible for me to interact with myself - through a series of coincidences.
