They all spoke to each other in their native tounge, and, as I don't understand Spanish, I could not understand a word they were saying. I felt so uncomfortable there and uneasy that I could not wait for an excuse to go home. I'm not one to say that if you're in America, you should only speak American. I'm bilingual myself (Italian-American). But I felt so left out of the celebration and can honestly say that this is the worst Thanksgiving I've ever had. I will never accept another invitation to this friend's house. Am I wrong to feel this way. How would you feel? Is there anything I could have done differently? Why did I feel so uncomfortable about the whole situation?

The Shari'a, or Islamic Law, asks for an absurdly high, nearly impossible to achieve and illogical test to prove rape cases. To make matters worse, the 'four witness' requirement came directly from Muhammad.

Riyadh, 28 Nov. (AKI) - In apparent recognition of rising rates of sexual violence in the Kingdom, Saudi Arabia has opened a specialised clinic to carry out tests on rape victims, Gulf News reports. The establishment of the clinic comes after a teenage gang rape case that has triggered debate. The Girl of Qatif, as she has been dubbed by the Saudi media, was sentenced to more lashes than one of her alleged rapists received...

I have both Japanese and Chinese colleageus in my work place. I have often noted that the chinese have very strong negetive feelings for the Japaense when they talk among themselves, however, they seem to treat my Japanese colleagues with great deference in social interactions. I would appear to me, and maybe I am wrong, that the Chinese view the Japs as somewhat superior at the same time they dislike them. The Japanese on the other hand do not very openly mention their attitude towards the Chinese, but, I did get hints from their conversation with such words as "The crime rate in Japan has incresed because of foreigners (Chinese)" or "OH! He is Chinese" with a shrug.
It is obvious that there is more beneath the surface. My question is,
1. If you are not chinese or Japanese, have you also observed similar things
2. What is going on here, and what is the cause?
3. If you are Chinese or Japanese your view point and corrections to my assumptions if you consider then wrong?

I've going through a really rough time dealing with my next-door neighbor at the moment. I don't worry about myself but, rather about my parents. You see, we as a family have dealt with horrible neighbors in the past, the most recent one left several years ago after banging on the adjoining house walls for over 2 years (I live in a terrace house), apart from a million other nasty things. My parents didn't dare to take any action until one day, this illegal-dealing neighbour threatened to beat my father up. Finally, my parents reported the incidents to the police only to find out that the police can't do anything except chat with the neighbors since its considered a "domestic dispute between neighbors" aka nothing serious (yeah, right!!!).

Anyways, now my other next-door neighbor is doing the same thing: knocking on walls and running the car accelerator just as my mom has dried out the clothes in the garden. If the law enforcement won't help my family out, what hope is there for us?

Most Christian teenagers like to listen to rap lyrics about drugs/violence/sex/money

I know because I got their answers from this site.

I'm an Atheist rapper. A few of the "Christians" hated my music just by reading the titles.

1. Americans Are Overweight
2. She wants a Black Man ( A true story)
3. Loose Screws (making fun of religious hypocrites)
4. Ignorant (about rappers rapping about the same thing)
5. Dyke Chick (making fun of lesbians)
6. The truth Hurts (bashing catholic priest who molest children)
7. Believe (believe in yourself)
8. Treat You Right (making a good relationship)
9. Shut Up (nagging women)
10.Controlled by the Pu$$y (making fun of men being crazy for sex)

Every human civilsation and race has religious beliefs since the very beginning.
So if spirituality is such a gimmick as atheists claim then you are attacking evolutionary enhancement as well. Evolution is the survival of the fittest so evolution has come up with religion for mankind as a favorable trait. So why attack it if we evolved to have spiritual hunger as a benefit?
Are not the those who believe in a deity doing what they are evolved to do?

This strengthens me that it was that God created humans because he made us and only us with the capacity of spirituality. Primates have no spirituality or other qualities that humans possess. Because we were made in the image of God.
