And they pose a diferent set of ideas... Why do some people condemn them as conspiracy theories? and ultimately dismiss them without a second thought?

Are they the stupid ones without imagination?

There are times where I overstate things for example I kept thanking my father in law foe helping me with my car and he said you don't have to keep thanking me so much people dont do that,
How can I learn to be quick and to the point and not overstate things so much? Also I always feel the need when I walk into a room that I always have to talk and say something a relative said to me it is OK to be quiet and not always feel the need to always say something. I am very talkative. What are ways as scripture says to season my speech with salt and not overdo it?

I have been to many hindu worship places, they sprinkle cow's urine on food before they served to others. Also I saw on TV that hindus were drinking rats left over milk, and also hindu's think that monkey and cow and snake and other animals are their gods and goddess. Is is true that hindu make their own god with clay and then do their pray to them, how can the listen or answer. What kind of religion is this in 21st century.

posts I used one racial slur for black people and one for Mexican people. Within 5 minutes the black person question was removed. Within another 5 minutes the Mexican question was removed. However the white one remains after 3 days. Is there a double standard?

I have lived with a man for 11 years, the first year was good. The second and third not as good as the first. But the past 8 years this man has refused to have sexual relations with me to where we only have sex maybe once a year. What could the problem be? We have ended our relationship. When I moved on and he found out he called me all sorts of filthy names and said that I was dead to him. This man was my bestfriend for 11 years and now he acts like I am dirt. He is going around and putting me down to our friends and calling me a tramp, whore ect. I did not have sexual relations with anyone else until after our relationship ended. So why would someone act like this. It is obivious to me that he does not want me so why is he such a dirtball that he resents me moving on with my life with other people.

My friend and I were at a christmas concert our chior did and a soloist went up there and sung a song about the Virgin Mother Mary. My fried is a "Athiest" but she was crying. I've gotten so many faithful conersations with her, like she called me at 12:00 midnight just to tell me she's been lying to me and then she told me the truths. She also said she wants to go to Youth Group with me. So what should I do next.

A rich top class businessman or an executive sips a glass of wine or a peg of scotch with his dinner; the poor man enjoys his dinner with the liquor made by local company bought from the local wine store while having dinner. They both do this thing with his family members. But why a middle class man feels shy to do this?
Now it is proven fact beyond any doubt that a glass of wine red/white or peg of liquor along with dinner is good for overall health of human being. Especially Red wine fights against cancer in women and strengthens bones and prevents bone decay with age. This why the reason even Jesus Christ had a glass of wine during the Last Supper. The Indians especially the middle class always think about traditions and all that stuff do not enjoy life to it’s full extent the way people western world do.

I knew I was gay at an early age, and my biggest desire was always to see my dad naked, and curiosity got the best of me to see what he looked like naked. I have always seen him with a swinsuit on and their was times we were home alone together and go for a swim and afterwards he would walk around the house with his trunks undone, where I could see his pubic hair but nothing else. One day he went to take a bath and the door was ajar and the vanity mirror was accross from the bathtub so I peeked in and in the reflection of the mirror i could see him sitting in the tub. i sttod their for what seem liked a eternity hoping he would stand up or anything so I could see his private area, finally he did and it was the biggest reward to see what dad had. I continued to watch him un-discovered by him that I watched everytime he bathed, just seeing him was awesome, but I never asked or took it any further, I was just satisfied being able to see him.
