Society & Culture - 29 November 2006

I'm trying out for the part of Mrs. Meers (a fake chinese lady) in our school musical, thoroughly Modern Millie, this year, and I need to figure out how to fake a chinese accent. So far, I know that I need to turn my Ls into Rs. What else do you need to do to create a fake chinese accent? The more obvious the better. It doesn't need to be authentic, just distinctive. The cheesier the better.

I have found contradictions in most school text books. I have found contradictions in every leader's words and actions. I have found contradictions in all leaders of governement, civil authority, healthcare providers and all institutions. I have found contradictions in what you have been saying and have said.

I have found contradictions in me.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthian 6:14, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?" So what is your take?

I just read a question that asked people of a certain group to defend their beliefs. Some people gave rational answers, but the majority of people gave rude answers and some of the answers were bordering on insane.

If you enjoy these people asking you to defend your beliefs...go for it, answer away. If they incite you in some way, that implies that you need to defend your religion. Trust me you don't. No one needs to defend their religion no matter what it is. What and who you worship is your choice. When someone that you don't know and can't see, says "OK RELIGION X followers defend RELIGION X" That is when you should not say a word.

This forum offers you the opportunity to learn about other religions and ask rational and respectful questions.

Some of the answers I see here would make me run from a variety of religions! YIKES...who wants to be a part of the madness that can be seen here.

Is there any other prophet besides Jesus who was born of a virgin? Prophets don't lie and he said he is God. And the Son of God. Why only believe portions? Because you believe it is corrupted? Know this Muhommades tomb is occupied and Jesus's tomb is empty. Jesus fulfilled ALL the prophecies which is around 345 in only 33 or so years. No man or other person will be able to fulfill just half of that in 100 years.

This isn't meant to antagonize Muslims, I like Muslims I've grown to learn alot about their faith. I believe they are kind people and it is just a small fasicist group who does the terrorizing. I'm simply asking why Not believe he is the savior when he said so. Even his works and miracles deem this true plus the prophecies ful filled.

It sounds strange, but for the last few days, I have noticed forums that posted people desperate to lighten skin, change style, relocate and even date another race in hopes of a transformation of their own. Whose white and hates the white race?

My sister is nineteen- she's pretty wild- runs with a bad crowd. She has a "friend" that moved out of state a few years ago that has frequently talked about coming to visit, but never made definate plans. My daughter is very ill, our mother is very ill, and my sister is facing court next week for wrecking a car with no insurance. Nobody has time to entertain this "guest" and my sister and her "Friend" both know this. The "friend" arrived in town today- unexpected- with NO money and the two of them seem to think its everyone else's responsibility to help them have a fun week. They asked my husband to purchase alcohol for them (they're both underage- he said no) and when he declined they expected a ride back to my mom's house.. There's enough going on right now I can't deal with the added stress of all this- how can I say something to this "friend" about her poor timing and rudeness without embarrassing my sister?

There are many Christians who think they are
But truly not,
Smoking, drinking is one example
of false believer.
Think...
You were once stuck on a miry clay, and someone picks you up and puts you down in a safe home that you can use,...

Thats what Jesus did to you.
Even though you cant see it..
IT`s there, like air!
Tell me if you can see air!
Because I cant.
But we believe there is air we`re breathing.

If you think your saved by Lord Jesus Christ,,
You are on the right track. :)
