Seriously now, come on people. If someone asks a question about smoking, does anyone else care at all care if you stop by to add:
"don't smoke"
"smoking kills"
"just don't do that"
"I don't smoke"
"cancer LOLZ!?"
"why would you want to do that"

Just shut up if you aren't going to answer the question, I for one don't want to read your crap. What do you do, just type up "smoking" and copy and paste on every related question?

Why? Why, why?

Why do people have such negative views of Islam. All it wants is some peace.
Think of the things it asks for: Respect your parents, feed the poor [the third pillar], be kind to your wife, honor your neighbor, don't lie or steal.
When people think of Islam they think of those people they see on TV who claim they are Muslims. Jihad isn't even one of the pillars of our religion.

Here is a chapter of the Quran that discribes the people that will be punished on Judgment Day: [Read verses 17-20]

You might be suprised

Peace,

Ive been with my boy friend for a little over a year and been living with him for half a year. We still act like high school kids who are in love but keep up with all the bills and house work. So we pretty much live as adults but are in love like kids. Are we still in the "newley wed" faze (but not married) or have we passed that mark?


Opinions are more than welcome.

Reason being, I am content with recieving gift cards. I would rather buy for myself than people going out getting me something I don't like or I'm not going to use. Not trying to be mean, but if you're gonna spend the money, don't you wanna make sure I enjoy it? Anyway, I had mentioned something to my sister about it and she wouldn't give me a gift card because she felt it was impersonal, and my mom wouldn't because she wanted me to be able to open something on Christmas morning. I loved my sister's gift but everything else I got was crap, and I can't take the stuff back. So next year I want to make sure they know that I don't want stuff, just gift cards. Do you think they will listen?

Blacks speak of slavery [the oft cited quotes being.. "well we didn't do it and/or it was over 400 years ago and "get over it", yet I do not see you saying to Jewish people - "Oh the Holocaust was nearly 70 years ago get over it!". The effects of that are still felt today but mention of this is permitted, but slavery or even the more recent Jim Crow laws [which only ended 41 years ago]
have to be "got over"...

Ladies, why is it that when women these days are found to be in possession of sex toys, (IE a vibrator or dildoo) other women just smile giggle and basically accept it. Most men think it's cool too. But is a guy has a pocket ussy, or other masturbation aid, we are ultra gross and judged. Yet it is all too well known that 100% of guys masturbate. We all do it, but if we involve a toy into the equation we are somehow gross?!?! Women do it and it's sexy?!?!?

I'm a good looking guy, I have girl friends, I get sex regularly, but there are times I just want to pull one off, what is the harm in having a toy to assist me?

The Bible as part of the 10 commandments says to honor and obey your parents as well as do not kill. So what would you do? Isn't it disobeying God no matter what you do? I don't know the answer so don't think I'm doing this to bug you.
