Try to confuse you at times?

There is not one person on this earth that 100% agrees with every opinion, feeling or belief of any other person.

what is respect? to me it is:
showing respect starts with truly listening to what a person has to say, and is followed with truly thinking about what a person has to say, before responding.

when a person challenges my beliefs on whatever subject, it means that he listened to my ideas and has thought about it.

as i said:there is not one person in this world which we 100% agree with on every subject. Therefor: truly challenging a persons beliefs and disagreeing with a person can be one of the biggest forms of respect anybody can offer that person.

however, when i challenge religious persons, they ask me to show respect for their beliefs.

seems like a contradiction to me.

why is it that religions actually don't wanna be treated with respect, but they wanna be handled with the silk glove that silently whispers 'yes i agree' ????

I just looked out the window of the hospital and a huge wind is blowing. And there is our beautiful flag.

Recently, I had a coworker, who is higher in rank than me, make a somewhat rude comment about my job position and the money that I make. When he was saying it, his body language and tone didn't indicate that he was joking. I was definitely offended by what he had said. So later on that day I brought it up to him that I thought his comment was uncalled for and unwelcome. He responded by saying that he was only joking and that he jokes around with everyone. I told him that I don't know him that well yet and it was hard for me to tell that he was joking with me. So he apologized and I accepted his apology. A few days later, we went out to lunch with coworkers and, while joking around with others, he made comments such as "I like that Marty (or whover) doesn't get mad at me when I joke with him". And he made these comments in front of everyone else. He probably did it at least 4 times. What would you do you in this type of situation?

My daughter received an invitation to a baby shower. Included was a list of suggested gift items, including for the parents-to-be (spa, dinner certificates) and large items (strollers and a rocker?).
And what really made me gasped was noted on the invitatation "to keep the cost down, please bring a food and drink item-the cake will be provided).
Fortunately my daughter went back to school and can't go to this shower.
Isn't this being a bit odd?

Is Saint Paul Jewish? If hes Jewish then he might get the idea told by Jewish the "ONE" God theory. Then He gave the idea of Trinity not to confuse but to explain the birth of JESUS. Am i right to say that?

I was thinking today, about what abortion really is...

I mean it is ending a life that isn't really the mothers life. She shares it with a child that contains half of her DNA, but it is still not her. So I went and thought even deeper, my little brother and I share some DNA, and well I don't really like him, so I think I am going to abort him. Is that okay?

I mean even though he is 17 years old, he can still be killed off right? I mean its better than letting him live through the hard things in life right? I mean sure he can have a life, but it could be bad, and if it is bad isnt it better to just off him now before it gets worse? Yes ? No? And if thats the case why dont we all just slit our wrists before life gets too bad?

Abortion for any reason is bad. The mother may not be at fault in some cases of pregnency(rape,ect.) but should she kill the child because she doesnt want it, or because it will be uncomfortable for her.

I have done some reading and I can't get over the ideas of a celestial waiting room, a dedication of a personal planet for those who are really extra-special good, and the Origins of Poligamy within some sects.

When things go well people are often seen embracing the beattitudes (turn the other cheek, walk a mile with them, give them your cloak and your shirt, et cetera...); however, as they are crossed or angered they swich to "eye for an eye" and "Lord, strike down mine enimies", etc.? Does this seem focused on self rather than Word?

Someone told me I don't look or act like a mother. This person told me to "grow up". I wear jeans and T-shirts with sneakers. I play video games with my kids ( and like them!). I don't bother with make-up or blowdrying my hair all fluffy, and I feel uncomfortable in the plaid pants with matching blouse and pumps outfit. I have a stable marriage and nice, well-behaved kids. I take my family seriously, and I do have adult interests like investments and such. But now I feel like at 28, I should dress older. I usually don't care what people say about me or to me, but this one got me wondering. Are there any moms out there like me? Or am I really that odd?

Have you wondered what reason God had to create this earth (if that is what in fact happened), then to create life such that humans eventually evolved, gave them free will to make decisions, and then let all hell break loose on earth. With of course the expectation that we would all want to love God and live to serve him, etc. What is the point? Is this supposed to be some kind of game for him? Why did he bother? I wish I understood, but I don't, and when I see all the pain, suffering, evil, etc., I wonder - why??????

Me and boyfriend were out at mall and we started to make-out and people were all telling us to "get a room" and "stop doing that in public". I don't see what we did wrong. We're out in public, and we have the right to kiss whenever.

Those buildings were turned to dust. There was nothing but dust.
I dont believe fires can cause that. And Building 7 was not even hit by a plane.

I cannot understand how people could have been so gullible about things so long ago. The things that those people did back then to others was most evil things done spurred on by this book.

I only moved to the UK, recently and my neighbours next door (attached townhouse) are having a Halloween party right now. The son who handles the entertainment for the party is a DJ, so he has the loudest bassy system-My question is: What time are people allowed to carry on with a party, naturally assuming the party has loud music and people yapping loudly? There has to be a legal time, like in America,where after 10pm no loud disruptive noise (like this, and is keeping my 6 yr old up), so what are the laws regarding same in England???

My kids are going trick or treating tomorrow and also on a hayride. All of the adults have bought costumes but me. I wasn't planning on dressing up but I changed my mind for my girls. What are some good costumes I can do at home? I can't go to the store because I won't have enough money until Monday and this thing is tomorrow
