Society & Culture - 6 November 2006

For those not familiar with the term chav find below some websites that show pictures of chavs, and which also describe what a chav is. Sometime the terms are used quite loosely and some people can have slightly diffirent meanings.
But in sum a chav is someone who is described as coming from a lower socio-economic background (but not always) and dresses in a particular way, and tends to be involved in petty crime (yet again, not always) such as burglary, joy-riding, shop-lifting, etc.
Anyway, after having a look at the links below, if you are from another country let me know what you think, and also if your country has a similar type category of person, and if so, what do you refer to them as.

- The theories I have heard so far do not cut it for me. They say they used wooden sleds to pull them up ramps or whatnot but the trees of Egypt are too soft to hold blocks that weigh tons.

I've seen spirits several times. I've seen some dressed in all white, and some dressed in regular clothes, and some are in form of shadows. What does that mean?

Ok, so on my last Jesus question I recieved varying answers. I had heard of the trinity thing and it kind of does not make sense, explain please. So Jesus was God in a human form. Does that mean he pretended to die? and when he 'died' he was resurrected to...himself?

Matthew 3:16
As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him.
What does this verse mean? Jesus saw himself lighting upon himself?
Thanks

What made you "perceive" them , the way you do? Did you have any particular experience that confirms your perception? It may either be positive or negative. It is still a predominantly "free" world but no expletives please.

I under the process totally i speak in tongues my self i was just curious to see what people thought and i do believe that the church is dead without it i'm in a apostolic ministry as well for i know that its not wrong to speak in tongues and that every believer should for it edtifies the soul and is warfare against the enemy i also know that if your in church and the Pastor is preaching and someone to say gets up and interups the service by speaking in tongues better be able to interpert and if you can't or don'd have a prophet there to interpert it thats where believeres go wrong thats what Paul was indicating. Thats all.

Asians look the same as white people(in color),so why do they have their own race.Some people consider them yellow.But white people arent"pure white" their olive skinned,red,peach,orange,rosy and so on.


I've also heared it's because of their country their called Asians,but if that's true why don't other countrys have their own race?

Would it not make sense for everyone to practise the rituals of every religion in the world? We should all bow towards Mecca 5 times a day, celebrate mass, not offend fijjian Sea-monsters, pray to Odin and Thor and so on.

Surely that is the reductio ad absurdum of Pascals Wager, how can we know which religion is correct?
