Society & Culture - 21 November 2006

You don't categorize children into political affiliations because we know that they are unable to judge for themselves and choose the right party to support.

However, we are willing to call a child a Protestant, Catholic, Muslim, Jew etc yet similarly, the child has yet to develop the capacity to be discerning of these religions.

It seems to me that children are force fed with religious beliefs against their wills.

I really don't understand the purpose of the Book of Job. Why put through one of your most faithful believers through all that just to make a point?

The mayflower compact is clear. This nation was claimed "for the advancement of the Christian faith"

Ever think its amazingly convenient that the nation that spreads the gospel most in the world (america) is the most blessed with abundance and freedom?

So, what would you rather it was founded on, Islam, judiasm....voodoo??

Christmas is just around the corner. In our house we purchase a new ornament each year to reflect the person. As the years go by, the collection grows. When our children leave, they take all their bobbles with them except one (to be left on the parents tree) so they can start their own. What do you do?

It's that time of year again and the weather in my part of the world is getting cold and dark. We curl up in front of our fireplace with big comforters and put on seasonal movies or read. What do you do?

I'm from the U.S. I spent 2 years in Chile and one of the funny things they do is that they won't let you go out into the cold after drinking hot coffee or tea. They say a gust of wind will come across your face and give you the "Crooked Mouth", which means that your muscles on one side of your face will tighten up and you'll look funny for the rest of your life! Funny!

So, since I'm obviously unable to view my culture like people outside of the U.S. do? What are some of the silly things that we American's do? (Other than all the political crap that everyone talks about). I mean on an individual basis, not the government. Thanks!

I always used to critisize myself, wanting to just be a normal teenager. The truth is though, I'm not normal. I have a disability, and I get depressed alot of the time. More than anything I just want to be normal. But then I started thinking, what is normal anyway? I'm unique, no one can feel what I feel, or be who I am. So why do we feel ashamed of being different in the first place. I say, I'm not going to let myself care anymore that I cant do everything other people my age do. Be unique.

OK....I am not looking for your typical answers on this. It does not have to relate to religion at all. We will assume that you are thankful for your faith or lack of and that you are thankful for your family. Beyond that what do you have in your life to be thankful for. Please list 3 things. I am just curious as to what others here are thankful for.

I am thankful for (other than the obvious faith and family answers)

1) My health
2) The freedom and ability to be an independant thinker
3) Diversity.......I could not imagine living in a "cookie cutter" kind of world where every one does (or has to) think and act the same.
It is the diversity that makes life interesting.

I was told by a very believable person that the statistics for them went up after they took God out of schools.
Does anyone have any kind of website that has the statistics for this?

If communism is a pure state where all are equal financially and culturally, why consider it evil?? Is it not merely the desire of certain elite individuals to consider themselves more equal than others that caused the system to fail?? What would be wrong with equal medical and social systems for all??

Basically what this means is the fact that it does not contain any offensive ingredients to muslims. I think that its fine. We have healthy heart symbols and other symbols so why not halaal. Its not offensive to me. What do you think

Soy muy ordenada y trabajadora, a veces un poco perezosa. Ademàs yo soy artistica, atrevida, y generosa. A veces muy graciosa; a veces seria y callada. Me gusta mucho dibujar, lleva una sieta, nadar, y a veces fotografiar.

I'm trying to describe myself:
Am I doing the "a veces" and verb endings right?

Nevermind the sentence fluency

Does this sound right?
