Society & Culture - 19 October 2006

I'm an adult, but for this one Halloween party that I have scheduled, it'd be fun to dress up. I have a really good looking pig mask, but how could I complete my costume? I was thinking about creating a sign that I would carry with messages like "Housework is woman's work!", or "A woman's place is in the home", or "Women don't belong in leadership positions". Or maybe I could write those messages on the back of my costume or something. Help me brainstorm. This is going to be ONE FUN HALLOWEEN!

Why do transsexuals or transgenders say that they are not gay, at one time they were gay, right? And now that you guys have transitioned why would that make you not gay anymore....does it make you straight? This is a very serious question...please answer. I am a lesbian myself and would love to know the answer.

Both accounts written down..and long before the OT was written (even if you believe the first five books were written by Moses in the 14th c BC,that's still MANY years after these two accounts).

Both mention a great flood...Gilgamesh has far more detail.....quite similar to what is in the Bible.

Lived in close proximity....would have been very possible to have heard these stories re: the flood.

Think about it! Then ask yourself, would Jesus know you are from the future even though you wore clothing of that time period and concealed the video camera (using batteries to operate it)?

Considering that worldwide levels continue to rachet up, and Americans, like any other members of a Democracy want to feel safe before anything else (see the Maslow hierarchy), doesnt it seem most likely they will vote in a war hawk that promises tuffer measures against Islamists?

Personally, I wont vote for anyone who doesnt promise on his mothers grave to end dependance of Islamic oil.

Muhammad (P) said:

-"The time is not far when the nations will gather around you from every side, just as diners gather around a dish." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Will it be due to smallness of our numbers at that time?" He said, "You will be many on that day, but you will be rubbish (or foam) like the rubbish (or foam) of flood water. Respect will be dislodged from the hearts of your enemies, and flimsiness will be placed in your hearts." ......"
[Ahmad via Thawban]

-'Islam will become worn out like clothes are, until there will be no-one who knows what fasting, prayer, charity and rituals are. The Qur'ân will disappear in one night, and no Ayah will be left on earth. Some groups of old people will be left who will say, 'We heard our fathers saying La ilaha illa Allah, so we repeated it.'

-"The Hour will not come upon anyone who says, 'Allah, Allah'; it will only come upon the most evil of men."

My last questions got much of the cliche's that float around in that culture, so this is the follow up.

One Muslim said "when you cause no offenses..." and another said said when there is "justice". Now, people of some fair level fo education know very well that what is "just" and what is an "offense" is so vague and so impossibly broad and impossible to define from person to person, much less culture to culture, that there is no way to avoid appearing injust of offensive. Simply no possible way.

So as a practical matter, if you were trying to draft a policy to be certain to avoid allll the delicate sensiblities of Islamists, making sure to address allll the different concerns of the different sects that hold the threat of Islamic terror over your head, wouldnt you finally arrrive to a place where you throw you hands up and decide to either convert of drop nukes?

Again, as a practical matter, if you were a politician whose only concern was making peaceful and prudent policy.

" While inclining to view the pronunciation “Yah-weh” as the more correct way, we have retained form “Jehovah” because of people´s familiarity with it since the 14th century. "

They admit that the name of God is not Jeovah.

What they will make now?

correct me if i'm wrong, but muslims are expecting a figure to return and establish Islam as the supreme and only religion on earth in the end times, therefore the muslim "messiah" will force jews and christians to convert to Islam or face death. Sounds alot like the Christian "anti-christ" doesn't it? (Islam is growing really fast and will surpass christianity in 25 yrs.)

I can't it's hard, i'm wondering if there's anything i can do to be accepted. Some people on me, judging from my questions (they have alot to do with race) think i'm a raicst. But i'm not. I don't try to be. I don't hate people just because of there skin color. But today's society can't accept it. Anyway just tell me ways to fit in. I don't want to be that biraical girl that doesn't fit in.
