This type of interracial relationship is the most prevalent. What would be the impact to US society and culture. Where do Asian guys find partners?
I think that the few displaced white females will go elsewhere, predominantly amongst black and hispanic males.

I don't mean "confused." I mean: heavily into drink and/or drugs, burdened by psychological problems, prone to promiscuity, law-breaking, etc.

This includes at least one lapsed Jehovah's Witnesses, but it's almost always ones who claim to still be faithful.

I'm a muslim and having trouble understanding this issue:
If theres two young men, one of them a very pious, pure muslim who strives hard to achieve Allahs good pleasure and submits his free will to him, and the other completely the opposite, commits zina, dosen't pray salat and aqquires all the charactaristics hated by Allah. Say the obediant muslim lives his entire life obeying Allah and then dies prospering to jahana, and the other lives half his life uptil the age of 37 mischieviously then has a 'religous awakening' by scare of death or any other reason, if this man now sincerely repents and lives obediantly for the rest of his life Allah would forgive him since he is the most merciful? Thus, the disobediant man will also go to heaven! I fail to see any justice in this? They end up in the same place even though one of them has worked much harder and deserves it much more, i dont think its fair? Allah tells us we wont be dealt with unjustly but i cant see justice here. Please help!

Yes, it's a rediculous question, but think about it for a moment.

Eternal UNchange implys stagnation. No growth, no advancement, no progress. To get around the problem of god being a lazy slob, we assume he exists outside of time, but that begs the question... why does a perfect, eternal being need to indulge in an imperfect temporal reality?

Is it really just to be "worshipped" by great humans?

How shallow and self-indulgent.

My vote is for Spanish then Italian. No surprises there. Accent marks where they need to be, and phonetic spellings. You are never at a loss when encountering a new word.

Muslims believe that the Quran is a direct utterance of Allah (God). Because God is infallible, one would expect the Quran to be infallible also. However, by examining the Quran, we are faced by many statements that go against the undisputed facts of science. It would be unacceptable if such errors were attributed to a learned human being, worse yet to attribute them to the Omniscient God. The list of the errors in the Quran is very long, and are discussed in full detail in other books. Here, we have a limited space to list only a few samples. Our goal is to question whether God can make such errors, whether God was in fact the author of the Quran.

I've noticed some of my friends like to use really offensives insults in their conversation. It makes it difficult to tell when they're being seriously offensive and jokingly offensive. I don't always get the context of their insults.

Also, I'm terrible at "comebacks" because I don't think to start insults in the first place. I'm not constantly looking for negative things to say about people. I tend to try to only see the positive in people so I suck at thinking of things to say back.

I've wanted to convert to Judaism for a while now and I've talked to two Rabbis already, and everything is really cool. But, I haven't told the Rabbi that I'm gay. And I feel guilty about not telling him. I don't tell him maybe because I'm scared of what he might say. I know most Jews are fine with gay people, but I don't know how is it when it comes to gay people who are converting.

By the way I'm seeking either a Reform, Conservative or Reconstructionist conversion.

My grandmother is 82-years-old, and for the past 5 years, the only thing I could ever come up with for gifts are sweaters and socks. She doesn't like to go out, she's not tech savvy, and she can't drive. Her daily routine consists of sitting around watching T.V, washing dishes, going out to the corner store to buy bread, and late night talks with her granddaughters. Help!

How does a big bang explain the innumerable amount of species of living things? Why is there sound and taste? And how did they evolve? Why do some creatures fly, while others swim, and some slither? Why do some creatures have two legs, while others have four and some eight? Why are some species predators while others are prey? Why do some creatures hibernate year after year while others must continue in motion to survive? Why do birds build nests, beavers construct dams, and spiders spin webs? Why are there millions of galaxies and trillions of stars? Why are there springs, rivers, and oceans? Why are there four seasons? Why does sand gather along the coastal shores and in the midst of deserts? Why do birds sing, wolves howl, and cats meow? Why is the world so colorful? Why are there a multitude of foreign languages? Why is the human brain more complex than the most powerful computer? Why do Humans have a conscience while animals have basic instincts? Why does nature possess certain natural laws while humans form laws to govern society? How did all these things come to be and why?

I've come to a lull in my own spiritual road, and I think that participating in a group might be the best answer. It's usually helpful to have others to bounce ideas off of and share experiences. Having looked over a few websites, I've found a few groups that I might work well with and might gain a lot from my involvement. Sometimes, though, things sound better "on paper" than they actually are. If anyone here is or has ever been a member of a Satanic organization, I'd really appreciate your insight. Thanks.

I saw a documentary set in an African counrty, about a drug that can be given to women during labour which prevents the HIV virus from being transmitted to the baby. Does anyone know of a charity who supports HIV victims and helps to provide this drug?
I would also like to give to a British charity supporting children who live in poverty in the UK.
This is my philosophy:
I have a lot of friends and family, but I never go christmas shopping, (apart from for a few presents for the kids in my family) I donate the money to charity and send everyone an email, hence avoiding cards, wrapping paper, plastic bottles of smelly stuff, and other junk. Its is lovely to send gifts, but I just prefer to celebrate this way.

From your personal experience, either though residence or travel, tell me about life in Washington State. I have looked all over the State (online) at real estate and for employment and now wish to know more about the different areas.

Any information about the quality of life, physical environment, social aspects, culture, ect... would be great. Travel tips for my wife and I, great must see areas, would also be of great help.

Best place to live? work? play?

Where does it come from, this quest, this need to solve life’s mysteries, the simplest of questions that can never be answered?

Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Maybe we are better off not looking at all, not delving, not yearning, but that’s not human nature, not the human heart. That’s not why we are here, at the end what does it matter if the human heart can only find meaning in the smallest of moments.

We all imagine ourselves as the agents of our own destiny, capable of determining our own fate, but have we truly a choice when we rise, and when we fall?
