Society & Culture - 29 October 2006

Just seeing the amount of stress with the costume/party/candy/deco's/themes.....Mate I'm in Australia so I have no idea, surely if you have this celebration year in and year out, would there not exist some kind of formula for the order of things? Is it really that stressful? I mean there is an entire holiday category dedicated to one night!

I have some friends coming over on Tuesday (Halloween) for dinner, passing out candy, visiting, and watching a movie to get us into the Halloween mood. We recently watched Sleepy Hollow and Hocus Pocus, so those two are out. Some of my friends don't like really scary, but are all adults and so don't need kiddy movies. Any suggestions for a fun/cool movie we could watch that everyone would enjoy and would put us in the Halloweeny mood?

It's common practice to make comparisons btwn animal behaviour and human nature (fight or flight, pheromones, infidelity). However, no one can deny that humanity surpasses anything that has been observed in the animal kingdom. No animal has even come close.
Logically, that would indicate we are made of different stuff.

Evolution has attempted to explain our physical development, but what about the rest? What are we, if not animals?

There are a lot of folks who seem to have found god, but are at the same time, quite evil in their actions towards others... George Bush is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people- civilians, women, children, you name it. Is he going to go to heaven? What about Ken Lay who went to church every week but robbed thousands of people of their life savings? I personally know one woman who is 'born again' yet she hates on around half of the people she meets...

How can religious institutions accept these people, and how come all of them are so sure they're going to the good place?

Here's my situation. I am asexual or want to be celibate, but can I remain this way for life? I mean, I am young and so I can't imagine this, but I do not think I like men or women. I am not into P's or Boobs. I don't find either sensual/desirable. I do not like the sex organs...period. I do not like men I've dated (sex not enjoyable, don't like their immaturity, personality, tendencies, laziness, lack of cooking skills, lack of tidiness, the list could go on)... I do not like women's typical frame of mind...or is it just hetero women? (their lack of logic --sometimes, beetch-like (I don't feel like spelling it right) behaviors, PMS, lack of tolerance for endurance, feeble minded sometimes, too booby, too slutty, gossipy, too blubbery)... Ok, I sound like a beetch.

I really have a prejudice against dumbness, I think and I can't stand all this nype over sex---porn and all the nasty stuff. Am I complete freak or what?

there are so many different religions. im full japanese without any religion. i respect those who believe in God, i am not against it. I was talking to my fiace about religion (he's a christian) he believes that God is real and if you truely believe, love him, respect him, and put him before anything, you will be send to Heaven. BUT what about those who believe in different religion? like, Buddha? I bet they are saying the same thing about Buddha too..right? So how does this work? Is God really true? what if we were wrong in the end? what if Buddha was the one who created this world? What will christians(or others) say when they find out it was Buddha (or others) who created this world? sorry, this is a hard question..i dont even know how to ask it.

When I was in wal-mart this morining, I saw Camilla in the cover of a magazine. The headline says, "Thief!: Camilla stole Diana's jewels!". St the bottom, there was a small picture of Princess Diana wearing a beautiful necklace with a pendant that has some nice stones in the middle with a dangling water-dropped shape jade at the bottom, in the larger picture of Camilla, Camilla was wearing a brooch. I thought "That brooch looks familiar.". It was actually the same pendant that Diana wore, but Camilla turned it to a brooch. I think she is a thief. Camilla, have respect to dead people's property.

Hey, guess what? The ignorant bigots of the world have just constructed a new plan for making you "horrible" sinners heterosexual!

http://www.gaytostraight.org

In all seriousness, browse around this website some. It's pretty hilarious, I actually thought it was a joke at first. Here's some quoted material from there...

"There are numerous causes of SSA (same-sex attraction), for example: lack of bonding with same-sex parent, over attachment with opposite-sex parent, same-sex peer wounds, hypersensitivity and sexual abuse."

Wow. I honestly feel sorry for the LGBT community sometimes. Everyone seems to think that all gays are victims of abuse of some sort. So, a question to both the LGBTs and heterosexuals...what do you think of this website?

If he's invicible he must be a God which makes a mockery and a hipocricy of that religion. If he's not a God, he's not invincible and can be dealt with. But why is a new Imam needed? Is Oil not foretold in the Koran? To subjugate non-believers, it only requires the oil tap turned off. If he come as promised, will someone tell him about Robert Burns who said "The best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray"?
