My friend is on an online chatroom and these girls are really horrible to her, so she invented a 'man' profile to seduce them, and then tell them its really her. I am helping her by logging onas the 'man'. Is this just a laugh or bad of me?

a rigorous adoption process? Normally, yes, adoption from Malawi is not open to those outside the border and parents outside the child's culture etc. but surely if Madonna has paid £1.6m (as a gift to the orphanage) then wouldn't it be better to leave her alone, and concentrate on the benefits of that money to the orphanage, money it could've only dreamed of before?

Toothless and overweight, the OECD statistics do not lie - or do they?

If you had the choice - would you marry an English woman? Or do you think that they are as ugly as so many say?

I look forward to reading al of your answers with great relish!

A news segment on immigration, showing mexican children of illegal immigrants, reciting the pledge of allegiance, including God, in spanish. Is this ok with you? I am not bothered. Economically, I am affected, but, it is not extreme.

I feel like a cat waiting to cross the street but knows a car is about to pass by.... I am very concern becuse I never felt like that before. I feel like something is about to happen, just do not know what.....

Praying to Jesus to get a mustard stain out of your carpet doesn't work. Praying to get a passing grade on your term paper doesn't cut it. Praying for Jesus to heal you when seeking medical treatment, who needs a doctor!

Praying to Jesus to instantaneously heal a burn victim would impress me. Praying to Jesus to regrow a severed limb outstanding. He stops a tsunami in its tracks, I'm getting a bible!

I know If it doesn't happen it wasn't His will. We can't rationalize anything.

I have my own inside anger and disagreement about the Muslim Religion but don't want a wall built to block out knowledge; I have always been an open-minded person. I want to continue to travel, even though my travel plans are limited for my safety concerns. Because my parents are mixed, Black and White, and my experienced years of the 1960s, I went from Private School to Public School while in my growing years and learned so much because of having to be flexible. The worst experience was when going to a Public School, in the beginning, it was still segregated; after the Black and White students began going to school together, the children became friends. We discovered that most (not all) of the Adults had the problems with race: not us, the children. My friends are like a beautiful rainbow; like myself. I don't want walls. I find that every race has a group of people that seem to always make the whole race or culture look bad.

Personally I don't.
I may be burdened to pray for one or two folks here. God has even given me an inexplicable love for some - especially the unique personalities.
But at the end of the day, they're the ones writing their own ticket to hell and I'm not losing a wink of sleep over it.

How about you?

Please answer based on your religion (or lack thereof--there have certainly been the equivalent of atheist leaders, e.g. Bertrand Russell or Voltaire).

So.. I've been doing some reading on what is behind this "intelligent design" over in america. It seems like the Discovery Institute is the main force behind it, and especially a Phillip E. Johnson, architect of the Wedge Strategy. Here are some quotes (web-pages to come):

"This isn't really, and never has been a debate about science. It's about religion and philosophy."

"The objective [of the Wedge Strategy] is to convince people that Darwinism is inherently atheistic, thus shifting the debate from creationism vs. evolution to the existence of God vs. the non-existence of God. From there people are introduced to 'the truth' of the Bible and then 'the question of sin' and finally 'introduced to Jesus."

So my question is, is this deception a moral thing to do? Given that there hasn't been a single peer-reviewed scientific paper published by the Institute, and given that over 99.9% of biologists (many of whom are religious) support evolution. Do the ends justify the means?
