Society & Culture - 18 December 2006

I'm looking to replace mine as the bulb burned out and I can't remove the bottom to replace it without damaging the entire base. However every single place I've gone (Target, Walmart, Linens and Things, etc), no one seems to carry them. They only have the new style of artificial trees with the mini clear lights.

what i mean is every other race has pride in theirs and are alowed to proclaim it. But if i say i have "white pride", i would instanly be labeled as a racist. Even back when i was in high school, there was a Hispanic club, african american club, and asian american club. I dread to think of what people would say if i sugested we have a White club.

Why does God in genesis 1:26 say "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness..." instead of "Let us make man in my image, in my likeness..."

As all you melon fans out there will know the only way to test a melon for ripeness is to knock it and see what kind of noise it makes. As I'm hard of hearing I cant do this, and on occasion I take a little knife into the store and cut a small bit off to taste it.

Sooner or later I may get caught. The store has upped its security after recently catching a member of the clergy trying to sample some member of staff on the ethnic foods section.

Do I carry on testing my melons, or just stick with stuff from the hardware department, like wind chimes etc ?

If you don't know how a plane gets lift and stays in the air, You should just assume an invisible man is holding it in the air by a string. Understand what I'm saying???........alas you probably don't

Not too sound concieted, im not a bad looking dude. I take care of myself. Actually, women, and men hit on me all the time. I am just too picky, and wouldnt just sleep with some ugly hag,and Im too paranoid too contract some std on some random sex, with either men or women. But, im feeling a bit lonely and i feel like just getting it on.. im still waiting for that one.. well, there's already one, but he moved away,, i guess im waiting for him to be back. So my question is, is it normal for guys to discriminate who to "hookup" with based on physical appearance? Im in my early 20's and not really into Fat Old Dirty Men. Im also not into feminine guys.. anyobody on the same boat?

What does the body, defective, changing, unstable and pain-stricken, have to do with eternity and Paradise? The elevated pleasures of the spirit must be enough. Why should a bodily resurrection take place for corporal pleasures?

I'm an LCMS Lutheran and have been attending the same church for over 15 years. I know everyone and they know me and I'm now 4.5 months pregnant. I told a close friend who teaches at the school, another friend, another lady in the church, and I told the pastor (who also insulted my finacee through me, forcing him to not want to EVER step foot in my church again). These people were told not to tell anyone I was pregnant and I was just about 2 months at the time. My mom got a phone call from the school nurse saying she heard I was pregnant and if we wanted to borrow a changing table from her. She's always telling people "thats none of your business" when they ask anything. I am angry because who could have told? I thought I could trust those people and quite frankly don't want that nosy church spreading my business. Transferring is not an option so don't even suggest it. But would you be mad about this? I feel like my privacy has been blatantly invaded. Should I confront this person?

I ahve been thinking about this for a while, and I was wondering how you know if you are really lesbian. I really don't know if i am or not. Maybe I am just a perv, I don't know, I know you know if your lesbian if you like girls, but I want to know if there is another way to know. i am so confused.

Seem's to me everyone I meet is selfish, self-serving, and petty. Is this just the way america is shaping itself out for gen Y, do you think it's because this generation has had no "real" diversity?

I am well aware of the 10 commandments, and I was told not to disobey these as a child. Then all of a sudden I grow up and there are others outside of those commandments (ex: sodom) that I never learned about! Why are these sins considered sins? What are these sins?
