As always, I ask that anyone who does not wish to contribute any intelligent and/or enlightening information to find somewhere else to rant.
I've been considering this point for a few days now. I asked a question on here the other day about how Atheists explain our existence. The answer I got was evolution. Darwin's theory of evolution states that all of the species of animals and plants that exist today developed through gradual evolutionary changes dictated by the law of survival of the fittest. Intelligent Design says that God created evolution. From all of that I reason that Atheism is an absence of religion. However, this brings up another interesting point. If Atheism is the absence of religion, should it be covered under the constitutional right to freedom of religion? And, if it should, then we must conclude that evolution should be banned from schools as it is the method with which a constitutionally recognized and protected religion explains our existence. Thoughts?

I have only reported a couple people so far. I have written in an explanation once, but the other times I just typed obvious, other than putting the reason for the report. Should I type in more than that? I mean will, yahoo take it seriously?

I'm asking that here because I usually only go to the GLTB section, and the reports are for bashers.

I'm writing an essay for college about the history of the English language. I'm having a difficult time understanding the difference between the different accents in England before the Norman conquest and the different dialects in England after the Norman conquest. Could someone help explain the difference between accents and dialects? My dictionary only says that accents are different styles of pronunciation and dialects are different forms of pronunciation... and this still leaves me confused.

In the past, the Christians (or Catholics) had burned the Witches. Some of them even being their own followers and childeren. Tell me, is this right? Is this the love you speak of? What had you against us Witches? We do not worship the Devil or Beast. We are kind and noble people who try to help when we can. This q has been running in my head for years, im glad i have somewhere else to put it. So tell me, has your religion's attitude towards us changed, or are you still in that belief. I am not trying to start anything. I put this q as friendly as i can.

Blessed be!!!!

I feel like a cat. It's weird, I feel like I should have a tail, walk on all fours, and do cat-like things. It's confusing and I remember that when I was younger, I used to think I was a cat. I've felt like this lately for a while. When I'm cuddling with my boyfriend, I feel like purring; when someone annoys me, I feel like hissing or growling (heh, I never realized that cats growl until I heard one several days ago); and I just feel cat-like much of the time. In fact, I actually growled at my mom a while ago when she was getting on my nerves. I didn't even mean to, I just did it. She looked at me as if I was some sort of freak or something. Am I going crazy? Does anyone else have similiar feelings?

If your answer is yes, have you heard of Operation Christmas Child?

This is a great and fun way to help children by packing up a simple shoe box (men's size 10 box is good) with basic items; pencils, pens, writing paper, candy, gum, soap, etc. You can wrap the box like a Christmas present too.

See: samaritanspurse.org for more information. I find the site to be very helpful and informative.

Don't you think this is a great way to start the holiday season?

Hi. I just got invited to dinner at someone's home. He is VERY rich. I was brought up that when you are invited to someone's home, you always take something.

So, since this man can probably afford the best wines and other fancy things, what should I take as a gift for my host?

I'm a female, and I have been observing around that boys are rather have higher IQ than girls. It is not deniable that population in local universities in my country, are mostly females 63% than 37% males. And I think it is because that females are more dilligent to study do revisions.

Here's the article

I recently found out I am a sadist, (someone who gets sexual pleasure from another ones pain) even though I have it completely under control, I can't imagine why I have these feelings. I love my boyfriend, but I still have fantasies where he's tied up, and then I ******************************************************************* until he begs me to stop. What causes one to have these feelings of hatred towards a certain gender? I don't want to hate men, but it's just there and I can't help it, which is crazy because I think it's wrong to hate someone for their culture/sexuality/religion/gender. What do I do? Why do I want this? What caused it?
