Society & Culture - 31 October 2006

Ok, I live within close proximity of one of my former friend's grandmother. Every time she sees me, she keeps asking, "When are you going back to school (college)?" When I tell her that I don't have any plans, she keeps giving me the reaction of a concerned parent. She would give me this worried look as if she's concerned that because I'm not in school my life is over. I respect her because she's an elderly woman and she has known some of my relatives for a long time, but I don't want use profanity such as why can't you mind your .... you know what business. I really want her to leave me alone, but I don't know what to say to her. Any suggestions?

Year over year, more and more kids (older ones 13+) are "trick or treating" with less costumes. When I give them candy and ask them "where's your costume?" I'm told "thug", "human being" or "rapper".

I tend to turn a blind eye and give candy costume or not. Might not be their fault that their folks might not 'prioritize' getting them a costume or can simply not afford it.

My husband has had enough and wants to make a sign for next year "no costume - no candy".

We spend a lot of our personal time and money making our home scarier year over year with costumes, fog machine, graveyard, life size skeletons - the whole bit.

What do you think? "No Costume - No Candy"

Yay or nay and why?

This is one thing I've always been confused about. Do Christians believe that other gods exist? Does Allah exist? How about Zeus? Ra? Do they exist but you're not allowed to worship them, or do you think other people are just delusional for believing in them? What is the church's official position on the existance of other gods?

Also, do you hate all those other gods or just not believe in them? I imagine hating 10,000 gods would be a bit of a chore, but some people seem to think atheists hate god, so there you go. Do you hate Zeus?

taking the lords name in vain, it seems like a lot of the younger generation uses this phrase as a every other sentence type of thing for no apparent reason, and i was just wanting to know what the general population thinks about it.

No ed answers! My are way to big, they hurt when I run, I get attention from the wrong guys, and my back is me, I heard there are exercises that can make your smaller, is this true? Because I don't want to get the surgery, that's to humilating, to costly, and it would involve mssing school.

I ran out of candy for trick or treaters pretty early. It was kind of sad. Who else ran out too soon?

I think I may be bi, but im not sure. I am ashamed to say that I looked at porn. I stumbled upon it one day, and I couldnt look away. I felt so turned on. But afterward I felt so ashamed and dirty. I have never had a crush on a girl, many on guys. But also I have never had a boyfriend. I am not sure.

One Halloween when we were kids, my mother surprised my brother and I that Halloween afternoon by announcing that we were going to dress up as homeless people (well, hobos, she called them). Needless to say, I took exception and was not happy. I had my heart set on wearing the Superman costume I wore the previous year and loved it.

But my mother would have none of it and insisted if I wanted to go trick-or-treating, it's the hobo outfit for me.

Needless to say, I relented and suffered through the Goodwill rags and grease paint (which caused my face to break out for about a week; THANKS MOM!). The worst Halloween I ever had.

Anyway, enough of my ranting. How about the rest of you?
