Yeah, Yeah. I will wish I did say or think that when I am really in Hell, blah blah blah. If this is how you answer, be original with references to my impending doom. Just remember, a few months ago I said I would take over and make Hell cool.

Why is there such a fuss about penis size in the men's gay culture? Straight women don't seem to be that concerned about size.

I am a straight, young white women, raised in a household that taught me to love others for their differences.
Well, I have come to notice that because of this upbringing, I cannot stand to associate with"openly" racist people, or anyone that discriminates others because of their differences. I find the things that they say sometimes to be offensive and I can't handle it. And I have zero tolerance for HATE CRIMES. I've ended relationships with guys because they were racist.
Racism and Gay Bashing, or any other Prejudice are hate driven. But does it make me prejudice if I choose NOT to associate with those who are Racist or Discriminate against others? Am I a bad person for hating other people because of their Racist or gay hating beliefs? Does this make me no better than them? Or is it ok to hate them becuase I truly believe their hate is not justified, and is unacceptable?

I was digging and found the ark of the covenant. However I dont know who to give it to since inside of it was the Scientology book Dianetics, the golden tablets of the book of Mormon and the children's book 'my pet goat'.

I am so sick and tired of seeing stuff that says proven facts are wrong. Yes, people, I'm talking about Halloween.

Here is the TRUE history of Halloween.

The festival of Halloween as we celebrate it today is an interesting juxtaposition of a Christian and a pagan festival.

Searching for the history & origin of this festival takes us back to the 5th. century B.C. in Celtic Ireland. In those days, the year ended with the end of summer which officially used to end on 31st.October. This day was called Samhain.

The Celts had a strong belief in the afterlife and they believed that the spirits of those who died in the preceding year came back on this day to possess the living bodies for the next year. This was the only hope of the spirits for afterlife. But obviously those who were living did not want to be possessed.

For translation questions, many posters tell you to try Babelfish and give you a link such as this : http://babelfish.altavista.com/
Just as a test, I tried a Japanese to English translation. It resulted in the following:

Please insert the restriction item to the yellow receipt sack. To be entered by exchange proof, (also full name please writes name) please takes exchange proof. Please insert in the bag which at the check-in counter exchange proof receives the article in exchange, checks in. In Narita the customer who would like you to receive please requests that time. Cooperation thank you.

Just goes to show how accurate these translation engines are....Anyone had any GOOD results?

Maybe the authors were inspired by the creator to write, but it WAS NOT written by God. God was not there telling man what to write either, why would a god need to do that?
