Society & Culture - 25 December 2006

I can not accepy a family member's significant other because I do not respect him. I am constantly being accused of "... always hated him..." I have complete apathy - it is analagous to walking down a street and seeing a pile of feces - I simply side-step or walk over it. I do not stop and yell "I hate you feces" - I don't run to get a shovel to destroy it. Feces is a fact of life but it shall never be something to embrace and accept.
I can not like this person because I have no respect for him -he's a user. Is it possible to honestly like a person for whom you have no respect

Here are list of things I can think of that people tend to obsess over such as: favorite band, favorite team or professional athlete, boyfriend or girlfriend, sex, drugs or alcohol or gambling, or maybe even being religious?

Is God the best answer that man has for us human beings to be here?? This is bullshit i hate the fact that im being told that if you are good your whole life and go to church you will go to heaven and if you dont follow gods good teachings you will go to hell. Who can have the power to say or to even do so? Interesting how time was recorded in jesus's era? The church are cons, liers and just an excuse to keep tradition what it is. Its all bullshit. The only way to get the truth is when you die.

I know this happens to nearly everyone; I still feel bad...

Last year me, my brother, & 2 cousins all had babies within 4 mths (each 4 wks apart - September, October, November [mine] and December [my brother].)

We exchanged gifts at Christmas b/c we all only see each other twice a year. For my nephew we get both "birthday" & Christmas gifts, but for the cousins we haven't ever exchanged gifts so last year I wrapped gifts in in baby shower paper not Christmas paper & I thought of them as baby gifts not Christmas gifts. (Last year this caught one cousin by surprise as they hadn't bought my daughter a gift...) I thought gifts was a one shot deal...

This year the awkward shoe's on the other foot... they both bought Christmas gifts for my daughter, but I never bought anything for their kids. On top of that 2 sets my of aunts & uncles bought my daughter gifts as well (My parents didn't buy anything for the cousin's kids either.)

Now we feel terrible. Do I fix it (and how?) Thx!

Simple question. Why don't people just say bathroom. A bathroom is called it because there is usually a bath in that room. Or when they started naming things, there would have been a bath. Why restroom? Why not getaloadoffroom?

and why do they still use buggies & horses?do they really not use electricity. i've heard of them using gas powered things instead of electricity but does it still require a source of ignition to run the generators or motors of the modern era? is it me or is it upbringing & unwillingness to change.. heck i even see them at walmart...what do they buy? why do they still dress like 1880s era?
they seem like nice people but aren't their ancestors, as i was told, the ones that burned people thought of as witches like in salem?please correct me if i'm misinformed?

My 16 year old son got a PS3 for Xmas and last Year an Xbox 360 so he just came back from across the street where he gave the two teens his old PS2 with games and Old Oxbox- regular one witha few games. These people do not have a car- winter coats- or much of anything else! My son was so thriklled with his PS3 he wanted to do something nice- so he took it over to them and the teens- 12 and 13 year olds- one boy one girl were TOTALLY thrilled by the gift! The father just brought it back and he was drunk as a skaunk and said his no good brats dont deserve anything on Gods day! OH MY GOD! Was I being rude by letting my son do this nice thing? Did I do something wrong? Im in shock I think!

I'm coming from the perspective of identifying, facing, and conquering the gaints we face in life. David faced Goliath and was victorious. Personally, I have battled with depression at various times in my life. So my primary question is this: What giants do you battle with in this life? Serious comments, please.

(eating with) those who oppose your beliefs? What do you think?
"The crucifixion of Jesus was "once and for all".
The Mass is sacrificing Jesus over and over again, which is saying that the sacrifice on the cross was not good enough.
I would not attend a mass because it is blasphemy." was Booth G's answer to whether a Protestant should attend a mass including the eucharist even if aware of the doctrinal differences and not participating?
I can't understand the Catholic views on this yet either as to why they think a Protestant couldn't give the proper respect to the supper yet we think the same of them?? And who gives a priest the duty of a "sacrificial minister" who acts "in the place of Christ" if Christ is the only mediator between God and man and why would you bow and fold your arms across your chest to another human being?

Please don't get me any babble about god created the earth and he walked on water. Actually the translation was wrong when they were translating it from Hebrew to English, walking on water was actually meant that God was walking near the water.
