And a understable history of the offender? My concern is that these sites do not delineate between:

1. The 19 year old kid who pissed off the dad of a 16 year old girl
2. The child predator

The only other catagory is the situational offender. The dad who molests a child in his house but does not seek out children. Which, imho, is as bad as a predator.

I know this is a sensitive subject. I just want to know when I am looking these people up on the internet, I want to know the story. And I kinda feel bad for the kid who is stuck in the midst of this and is doing what boys have been doing for ages. When I was 16, I know I was dating a guy who was 19. He was by no means an offender.

They just point at the gaps where science has yet to investigate (and will) and say 'God did it'.
All of Creationism, and, to borrow a phrase - 'creationism in a cheap tuxedo' - known as 'Intelligent Design' are both non-theories. They have no proof, evidence or anything resembling solid research. It is simply 'If science hasn't solved it, then god must have done it.'
The problem with these theories is that they won't last. They have no real drive to substantiate themselves. They exist only to try and prove science wrong. And they are doing a rather pathetic job of it.

So the question is - What does Theism answer other than rehashing what's in the bible? What answers does it provide? If God is on their side why does he never (EVER) provide more insightful answers? Why does science beat 'Creationism' hands down in this regard?

My friend and I had a fight on asian pride. Im chinese and hes indian. I said asian pride is eating asian food watching anime doing martials arts and being smart. Because if u dont have these things u cant say u have asian pride. For ex u cant say that the only thing u eat is mcdonalds and say u have asian pride. he says asian pride is being pround ur indian and he calls me selfish. he thinks that I think asian pride is based on oriental people and I think he thinks that asian pride revolves around indian people( Which it's not). Who is right.

If you got mud on your hands you would wash them with soap and water, but after going to the bathroom we use only toilet paper.

Then waisting there time trying to keep the Gay People from having Equal Rights like Gay Marriage. Don't you think that if they used that energy and time to help the starving people and dying people of the world that would be a greater cause. I am saved I believe in God and Jesus, why waste your time on me, worrying about whether I can Marry, me and my partner have been together for 4 yrs, we are Married by every sense. We want to get Married and have equal rights, not special rights. Why can't you just let us have our peace. There are more important issues facing our world than Gay Marriage, but almost all Repulican Christian Fundamentalist Backed States Fight it tooth and nail. If you spent the energy you have on Discriminating against Gays the world would have less hungry and dying people.

I see so little consideration being shown in the world today. Courtesy and respect is very rare of late. Is it just me or have people's standards really lowered over the past decade?

I have some lovely gifts with some lovely curled bows, but the novelty of running the scissors down many ribbons and tying them into curly bows is getting old. What are some other things I might be able to do with curling ribbon?

Quran 60:4 ““(allah instructs) there is for you an excellent example…(abraham’s example) “we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in allah”” http://www.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/060.qmt.html#060.004

In the beggining of this aya (verse) the supposed voice of Allah announces the the following is an "excellent example". Allah then describes a time when Ibrahim declared "hatred" for the unbelievers "unless you believe in Allah".

Do you think this is an excellent example of behavior as the Quran claims? If you do believe this is excellent behavior, I would love to know what you think bad behavior is?

Why does Allah think its excellent to hate people simply because they dont yet believe in his religion? Couldnt Allah have said "but if they had no way to knoweth Allah before the invading Muslims came upon them, then hateth them not, ye may still kill them, but in their ignorance they deserve not you hatred".

I mean when it is mentioned as part of a religion, namely Christianity. Heaven is believed to be such a majestic, wonderful place. To me, it is not a noun, it is a pronoun. I have never seen it capitalized. Why is that?

I just was curious. It is the "dominant" religion where I live (SC), I was wondering if it was the main practiced religion in other areas. I know other cultures practice different religions, but how many people are Christians?

Seriously, I want to know what's so bad being emo. I love the music and the culture...it's just how I am. Being scene is strictly for the appearance. Being emo is a lot deeper. It's the meaning...the substance that draws me to being emo. Common stereotypes I've witnessed: 1) We cut...some people do. But I know football players who cut as well. 2) We're whiny...again, some are, but not all. 3) We're bisexual...okay, this is a HUGE misconception. Yes, some emo individuals are bisexual, but not all. 4) We listen to whiny music about suicide/broken hearts...not all of my music is like that. My point is, the generalizations and stereotypes are worthless. Find something better to do with your lives.

is there no alternative.
I saw a t.v special how the gov. uses chimps for research.
We use mice for eye experiments.
I know in our past that we use animals for everything.
Because we have the right,WHAT gives us the right.
If I see a bug crawling on the floor,does that automatically give me the right to kill it.
I just can't get the images out of my head,from watching t.v shows about it.
I understand humans have more value then animals,but at what cost.
Does the means always justify the ends.

Must one agree with EVERYthing? Are there some things that one can disagree about, and still be able to convert? What are the fundamental beliefs that one must agree with to be "eligible"?
