What I search for is "When to put Hiragana at the end of the word". I sometimes found words written only in Kanji without a Hiragana end like "Nihongo". After searching in words for some clues I found that ther no. of Hiragana Characters used to write a word is the same as the characters that word would contain with both Kanji and Kana. But after seeing more and more examples, I found it is not always like that. Then, today, I found that "Mara i" (Circle) ,written in Hiragana completely, have a dot written in the middle (Niether down nor up) between 'ra' and 'i'. The "i" was written after the Kanji. So, is the letters after that dot, the letters written after the Kanji to end the word?

Did you choose it or was it placed upon you by your culture, family tradition, or by informed choice?

How did you choose your bible among the dozens of current versions(some of which are VERY different)? Familiar with the Ethopian Coptic Church? The Orthodox Church?

I saw some Muslim kid say

"Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error. -Quran 2:256"

Children make mistakes all the time. They are very impressionable and typically rebellious. Some are drawn to Wicca, some are drawn to Islam, etc. As they grow, they learn, and often change their naive utopian assumptions.

When children under the age of 18 commit certain crimes, they are not judged as an adult, because it is believed that they are not educated or mature enough to be held accountable for certain decisions.

If a child who has realized that they made a mistake by selecting Islam as the "true" religion chooses to abandon it favor of ANOTHER religion, should they be KILLED, or given the same leniency as the man from Afghanistan who converted from Islam to Christianity, and faced the DEATH penalty?

note: they let HIM go because they declared he was "insane"

how it is portrayed in these movies? The Excsorcist for example. Little Regan meddles with a ouija board allowing Satan and 'em to invade her body. Psychiatrists are helpless. The priests come and have an epic struggle with both sides essentially beating the crap out of each other.

Please, I know, by experience that some of you have a hard time answering the actual question, but it is fairly straightforward.

For example proclaiming that there is no god, would not be a real answer.
Similarly, expounding on the virtues of prayer, would not answer this particular question.

I'm biracial and Im so sick of feeling like ''I dont exist'' what I mean by that is, people do sometimes see us as mixed, biracial, etc .... but when it comes to feeling out papers that ask for your ethnicity, ''biracial'' is not an option...Maybe if it was, biracial girls would be who they really are instead of being pressured by society to ''act as one race'' and/or label themselves as one of those races when we/they are actually both, Caucasian AND African American. 50/50.....that ''well if you have black in you, you're full black'' theory is bull s*h*i*t. Not that anything is wrong with being African American...but that theory is over rated and more importantly, false. I really feel like there is enough of us now and that we have been around for far too long now to not be recognized fully as our OWN race. We deserve the same amount of recognition as an independent race just as well as Hispanic, Caucasian, African American, Chinese (etc) people do!

Here are some incredably obvious irrefutable facts about REALITY that some people choose to ignore.
What kind of all knowing, OMNIBENEVOLENT (all good) being would sit and watch while "gods people" burn to death and starve in concentration camps?
Many christians belive the earth is only 8,000 years old (if you add up the ages of profits like moses). According to that belief, dinosaurs dont exist. go to a musem, honestly
If Adam and Eve were the first 2 humans, then their children wouldve bred, and thier children, and so on. We would be one big inbred family. hopefully we all know that when you do your sister, recessive genes match up. The result is mutated babies.
I mean common people, there are over 5 billion NON-christians in the world, most of which are totally decent people who do good deeds, but according to you they get tortured and ripped apart because they didnt get trapped into a manipulative moneysucking BUSINESS called christianity.
Wake up and start living, please.

FIRST OF ALL: People who have knowledge about India should be the only ones answering. Do not post "I don't know" if you don't know.

Anyway, I am a guy who is of Indian descent. I was born in America and lived here ever since I was born. I talk nothing like an Indian person and I don't even look like one. If you met me in real life, you wouldn't be able to guess my ethnicity.

Well, I was in school (community college) one day and all these foreign kids from my Psychology class came up to me and started making fun of me in well.. Indian language.. I don't know if it was Punjabi or Hindi but I sure as hell understood that they were not saying nice things since my mom always speaks to me in both languages and I have a feel of what is being said.

From what I could understand, they were saying something along the lines of "That guy can't even pronounce his name right" and "he acts white." This really pissed me off! I wanted to say something back to them but I couldn't speak the language.

Seriously. I've seen this attitude here on YA and other places as well and I really don't get it. Why do some people think that's why we become atheists, so we can be sinful and immoral, to drink, have sex, whatever comes to mind? I certainly didn't become an atheist so I could sleep around or drink or sell drugs or rob banks or convenience stores.

Let's see, I'm waiting on sex until I can afford to take care of a child properly. I don't drink as I can't see how the aftereffects(headache, vomiting, hangover) can be considered fun. As far as drugs and robbery and criminal activity? I have no criminal record whatsoever, not even so much as a speeding or parking ticket.

Does that sound like an atheist who stopped believing in God so she could be this horrible immoral person? Tell me, why do some people think we stopped believing in God so we could do such things without guilt?

The Quran hasn't said that Christians and Jews are Infidles (Neither do we like this word,nor do we use it) The word infidle does not mean non-Muslem,it means athiest(Someone who doesn't believe in God/his prophet(s)/the judment day).In Islam if anybody denies one of these three factors he/she is known as infidle (Even if he/she just believes in God).Of course no one has the right to hurt the others.If you can find things related to fighting with infidles it's got something to do at that time(1400 years ago).And also just when infidles attacked Muslems they could fight them not always.As long as one lives no one has the right to hurt him/her.This is the same as murder.So Islam has never said fight the infidles,it has ordered to talk to them peacefully.Well I don't know why people think Islam has ordered Muslems to kill infidles.It hasn't.As I said itChristianity and Judaism are both great and respectful religions In Islam.And none of the Muslems think they are false (at least in Iran).There have been always debates among different religions and that's good to better understand them, but no one has the right to insult the others' religion.Insulting Jesus Christ/virgin Mary/prophet Mohammad/Islam/Christianity/Judaism/any other prophets/true religions is the same as insulting God.Because God has sent them all and they are all perfect.The only difference between religions/prophets are1.WHEN they have come and 2.HOW complete their teachings are (The second factor depends on the passage of time,as the time passed,people found new laws necessary to have a better life because of new necessities that appeared among humans).And the word Jihad, as you said, has a vast meaning.It means that Muslems MUST (This is God's order) defend themselves/Islam/their homeland/their families when it is needed (For example when someone/a groupe/another country invades them).And I suppose that's what EVERYONE would do in this world.Right? And also when someone serves his/her country/countrymen by any means,he/she is doing Jihad.(For example a teacher,a doctor,an engineer,a policeman,a soldier and so on).When a father or mother is working to meet the needs of his/her family he/she is doing Jihad.When someone is trying to teach people the truth, he/she is doing Jihad.As you see it's not only an Arabic word,but more than that.It's got very deep meanings.

There is so much emphasis in America on weight....everyone focuses on celebrities and how beautiful thier bodies are, yet very few women look like this. And how come over weight men are accepted more than over weight women? Also....are you men aware of all the air brushing they do on popular men's magazines....or up until now did you really think that is what those girls look like in the pictures? And if you admire those women on the pages of the magazines/on TV and the interent....does it make you feel disappointed when you see women in real life?
