What do you think of President Bush, and the war in Iraq? Is there anything you hate or love about Americans?

I'm American, and I'm interested to see what other countries think of us.

I am a server, and recently a customer came in to eat. I dropped off his bill and came back to his table to see if he had a credit card or cash to pay his tab. There was money (I forget how much) on top of the ticket I had set down. I reached for the money and the ticket and politely asked if he would like any change. He got mad at me and told me that when I asked a question like that I was EXPECTING a tip....It's 2006....of course I expect a tip, but I didn't remember how much the ticket was, and I was just asking if I needed to return to the table with change. He made a scene in the DR and told me that it was rude to ask. I should just take the money, and bring back the rest. If he was going to leave a tip he would, and that it was his money to do what he wanted with it.

I have been a server for several years, and when it's busy, you just ask if they need change to save you a trip back to the table.

What do you think. Should I just not ask for change from now on?

Which is more likely to be a factor to determine gayness?
1.) developing feelings for women over men or
2.) the physical attraction and lust?

I also think men are annoying sometimes. Girls are funner to talk to and flirt with. Plus, I hate it when guys flirt with me, but I get turned on a LOT when girls flirt with me. I don't know if I am as physicallly/emotionally attracted to guys anymore at all. Beginning to wonder if I have been lying to myself this whole time. Currently, I am in love with a friend of mine and this isn't the first friend I have fallen for whom is a woman. (<---Is that wrong I fall for my friends? I have never told them I like them though.)

Anyone care to talk to me and help me through this?

D.) The millions of American's accross the country who cant afford medical insurance and are dying because of it.
E.) Poverty in American and around the world.
F.) The destruction of the global environment.

Obviously the answer is 'Z' because this is the only issue which i regularly hear the moral majority, and by that i mean Christians, talk about.

In my opinion morals developed out of a desire to not sin, so there is no difference in the two. What's your opinion?

I was going to ask if Atheists believe in sin, but noticed the question had already been asked. In reading one of the responses, someone said that she did not believe anything was wrong on principle (as long as it didn't hurt anyone), but did believe in moral errors. What's the difference?

(Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just trying to learn.)

My girlfriend is devoting a lot of time to this 'spiritual' movement and it is costing her a lot of money. I am concerned that her changes may have a negative impact on our relationship. I think she is becoming brainwashed. Is Sri Sri Ravi Shankar a god, or what? Should I be concerned that this is a cult of some sort?

How can you hate something you don’t believe exists?

Also, do you understand what an Atheist is? Do you know that it is someone who just doesn’t believe in god AT ALL? Someone who does believe in god, but has his doubts, is not and Atheist.

That’s different. Now if you think that everyone truly knows there is a god deep down, then you don’t believe there is any such thing as an Atheist. You should stop using the term “Atheist” and “Unbeliever” to describe people, because by your understanding they aren’t truly Atheists and unbelievers. ;)

I do not understand why I see these posts ' caught between Christianity and Catholicism' there is no difference. Catholics believe that Jesus was the son of God and died for our sins just as Christians also believe that. What is the difference? Catholics can answer if they wish, this is for those who think there is a different. Try to make me understand, with the knowledge that it won't work.
