I've noticed that there are a select few of you one here who are quite disrespectful and negative towards anyone who is not Christian. Do you think your insults and negativity push atheist and agnostics even further away from religion?

Most of my family and friends are Christian and they are very kind people, infact they accept that some people choose not to practice religion. They understand the importance of freedom of religion.

Why is it that some people--otherwise attractive, normal people--don't seem to care whatsoever about the current style? They seem to be "released" from fashion, as in, they don't care if what they are wearing is from 12 years ago, and they are quite comfortable that way. If I wore the same thing, I'd feel so self-conscious, I couldn't stop thinking about my clothes all day! I'm not talking about being completely "up-to-the-moment" either, I just mean relatively with the current style. I guess I'm asking because I kind of envy that kind of freedom from the dictates of fashion and I just wonder what mentality these people have?

I dont know why my school allows the janior up into our bathroom. He is mentally challenged because all he does is walk around and make loud laughing outburst. He walks into our public bathrooms sometimes as we are showering and makes loud mmmmmm noises. All of the females are scared to death of him because we do not know what he is capable of doing. He is so disgusting. He spits and blows snotz out of his nose. Is there anyone we can report this to? It wont do anything good to report this to the school beause they are the ones that allow him to come up into our showers in the first place. Please help we are scared to be seen naked.

I was talking over coffee with some friends,and the topic came up about who is really more advantages in life. The consensus of the group seemed to believe the women have vast advantages in life. One of our freinds who has stayed home all her life (no kids) admitted that she'd never be able to pull this off as a man without being harassed and humiliated by others. She was thanking her lucky stars that she was able to avoid the rat race by finding a stable partner early. What do you think of this. Do women really have an easier time??? I'm not so sure about this.

how far would you go to be nice to someone who has a different set of beliefs than you? Would you try to be nice when answering their questions or would you put all your cards on the table, come what may?

OK.. I tried to blame it on feminism and got a bunch of responses that men are genetically gay..

In that case.. why is it, that I have personal friends, including one who dated my friends sister for 15 years no less.. all who never once showed any interest in being gay.. and all part of a macho group of alpha males who were all very blokey.. yet diverse.. ie. one works in IT, one is a plumber.. one is black one is white.. and so one..

I have known these people personally.. all have had issues with dating.. and now.. in mid to late 30's.. they are having their FIRST homosexual experiences..

Now I ask you.. is that GENETIC???

Or is it that these guys, often from poor socieconomic backgrounds.. have had a GUTFUL of being treated like crap by females??

For the record.. my scorn is not with ONE lousy ex.. I was homeless once.. and now I am a sucessful "full package" .. ask me how many times a woman actually hleped me when I was homeless.. the boys pulled though for me..

Tell me a little about your faith and what you find is the most spiritual thing you do in your faith. What about your faith gives you the most peace?

and satanist, do you automatically expect offensive questions from Christians? Or do you expect nasty answers to your questions about their beliefs?

the fires of hate? they don't even try to hide the fact that there question is just an insult, so why do you sink to their level and insult them back? do you think God takes "they did it first" as an answer?

table especially in a restaurant? I think it is more polite to go to the restroom...that way you can look in the mirror to check if anything is hanging and then you can wash your hands. Please pass it on.
