Is it too soon to invite someone to dinner and cook it yourself on a first date ? I have nothing against going out, but then, that would cause more complications visa ve: vegetarian, price (as in splitting check) etc?

Now, I know we already have more than enough names and labels and people continuously grapple with them, but at the same time, labels are a means of empowerment- an affirmation that your sexuality is valid (now we can say gay/lesbian/bisexual rather than "the love that dare not speak it's name", etc.).

Most labels are seriously lacking- they don't address a lot of the nuances of complex human sexuality, but they work fine enough. However, I just have not found a good way to say that I am sexually attracted to transsexuals/transgenders (of both genders). It is probably very easy to say that I am bisexual, but what I hate about that is that when others hear it, they do not automatically assume that means TS or TG people, and even less that that is my sole attraction. It marginalizes them and makes them invisible, in my opinion. Not to mention leaves me in a pickle in wanting to accurately describe myself to others. So,

1) More labels?
2) What would they be?
3) Other thoughts?

Why is it that your society does not value deep thinking on subjects but rather encourages quick and sometimes foolhardy action? I am not refering to any perticular incedent or time but just to the steady decline in respect for a clear cut logical argument? I thank you for any insight you may have.

If tolerance means "live and let live" - you can't - according to your religion - do that.

A lot of people say they believe in God. I never know exactly what they are talking about. It seems like people are using one word to refer to an almost infinite number of different beliefs. I'm looking for some descriptions of what it is you really believe. Please don't tell me what god does, that God is indescribable, or that you feel god in some vague way, etc. etc. I've heard all that plenty of times. If you believe in God, you must have some conceptualization of this belief. What is it? I'm not looking to argue or ridicule. I'm honestly curious. Go into as much detail as you can.

YECs believe that God created the Earth and the Universe at the same time, roughly 10000 years ago yes? But you only have to look into the sky to see the light of stars that has travelled well over 10000 years to reach our eyes. In some cases the distance would have taken over a million years.

Do YECs deny that the stars are as far away as astronomers have deduced or do they presume the speed of light is somehow faster than it is thought to be?

I'm trying to understand how it could be possible from a logical point of view, without just saying "Oh, God moved the light closer so that we could see it within our lifetime." Help me out here.

cristitans believe what they WANT to believe, and are impervious to logic or new information. That is why it is generally a waste of time to try to communicate with them.

Luke 13:6Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree, planted in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it, but did not find any. 7So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For three years now I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?' 8" 'Sir,' the man replied, 'leave it alone for one more year, and I'll dig around it and fertilize it. 9If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.' "
Your comments will surely be precious.

People are such whining morons. Why must all of you complain for things like racist comments or insulting statements? Is it going to kill you to listen to people say racist things? Is there a possibility you might stop breathing if I insult retarded people?
