Society & Culture - 27 December 2006

My aunt is mad. Her 16 year old daughter who is a junior in high school went on a field trip to a theatre with her class and came back an hour after school got out. Her daughter called her for a ride home but nobody answered. Her male teacher who is about 35 said he'd drive her home if she couldn't find a ride. She lives like 10 minutes away fron the school (driving distance). So he drove her home. Now her mom (my aunt) is angry. She said she should have waited at school and under no circumstances should he have driven her home alone.

Is my aunt overreacting? He only drove her home.

wonder how women who are cheating on their husbands keep their husbands from finding out. I know guys will shower and check their clothes for hair and makeup and such but what can a woman do to make sure her mate cant' tell she has been with someone else? The physical things she can do to cover up the evidence and all. Odd question just came to my mind.

And that the rich should give to the less fortunate?

Why do Christian conservatives preach the opposite nowadays?

ZK gave me this idea for part 2....Since the bible says it already knows who is going to win the final battle or whatever its called...what if everything was the same except it stated "unfortunatly god and his followers will be defeated by lucifer and cast to the firey hells forever" then would you still worship the same??

From my experience when we first learned a foreign language, we tended to translate from our mother tongue. Consequently, we were quite slow to be fluent regarding our speaking/writing skills. I wonder if there're such problems for people learning/mastering your foreign language skills and what are some practical ways to improve your fluency. I sometimes tell my bachelor degree students, "Think in English, then write/speak in English"; or this approach is too difficult for them. I mean they need to read more, speak more so that they can immerse in that language till, over time, they can express themselves more automatically.

Chupacabra, Dover Demon or any other "cryptids"? Or are the cash rewards for them just a hoax? Any websites with info on rewards for finding any of these creatures?

What makes the theory of evolution so appealing to so many people, and why is the theory of Creation not as appealing to people not of religion?

I saw this: "Why do some people have so much hatred towards christians?" Where the poster was a Christian.

Well, here's my question turning the tables. And where I am actually an atheist.

Christians do experience hatred unfortunately. But so do atheists. Why the latter is my question? I'm curious to know what the answers are to this one.

Even the biggest Christian Apologists don't think anyone should use this argument. Isn’t it time you quite too? It is a little embarrassing.

I don't know about the rest of you but I really would like to hear I am and the persons name or something about them versus White, Black, Asian, etc, etc, etc. Why are white people. Why are black people. I really do not care what color you are but would rather hear what you are doing and how you are. So please help me with how many of you are tired of racism and any ideas how can we stop this even one person at a time?

I don't seem to excel at anything I try. I may learn how to do it but I never become great at anything. I sing horrible, can't dance, I'm not that good with people (I work ok with them but I just don't seem to be able to influence them or draw them to me like alot of people can), etc. The few things that I do well are of little or no importance to anyone and aren't a way to make any money. My interests in housework and plants and clothing and travel aren;t going to get me anywhere as I don't excel at anything. I'm not even a very good mother. Is anyone else out there talentless too??

My friends (we are all straight) and I were having a discussion about gays and lesbians and no one could answer my question...Why do butch lesbian women want to be like men if they want to be with a woman? Conversely, Why do gay men act like women? I just don't get it...if you are gay, why is there this male/female thing? I am just asking to get a further understanding.

How can any religion be right? Every "true" member of "any" religion believes that they are right and the rest are wrong. Therefore, how can anyone believe "completely" in just one?
Why not live based on "morals", and not religion?

We have a lot in common. We are both very sportive and also a bit manly (kinda dykes). Normally I am more atracted by feminime women, but she is special. I am walking on clouds, feel very happy and so. But she is 32 and I am 20. I would guess she to be 28 cause she is childish an has ADHD.

My Q:
What should you do? At this moment I see what will happens. I personnally like her very much and I don't really care about this age difference. But on the other hand, she already has a full life. (when she was 20 I was 8 and she has developed herself a lot more than me)
I hope you can give me advice what to do.
thanks

You know, when they show the man at the top of the building or temple who cries out in the early morning in Arabic--what is he called or what is his title? This is part of the Islamic religion, I believe...
