I'm quiet and shy and when i talk to Japanese people, with my pauses, speaking mistakes, and whatever, they accept me. But Americans never do, they seem to think i'm stupid cause i talk slow, i pause.. and i'm not like them . Are Americans who are outgoing just not patient and not accepting of people who are different. ?

-27 male, shy, slow speaker and limited vocabulary

What is a good gift to give my 18 month old girl for Valentine's Day? She has plenty of plush toys and I gave her two bears that hug and when you touch their noses they kiss last year. She doesn't need anymore clothes either since Santa just came. She's too young for candy. I would like for the gift to resemble Valentine's Day, but I am stumped for ideas. Do you have any?

I mean besides having vitamins and a stupid name. My friend gave me a jar to try. It wasn't exactly a Christmas present, but part of it. I like to be very polite about gifts and make positive comments. I just don't know what to say because it doesn't really have any flavour!

If you agree with me, and you think God needs to get back incorporated into our society, this'll be a good site for you. www.battlecry.com

and why should I care? Christians act like it's necessary and everyone should be doing it. Why.

My girls are 2 and 3 now - we are not regular churchgoers because of our ridiculously hectic lives and the inablilty to sit still (the kids)... If we were to attend, I would prefer a Catholic church whereas my husband would go to a Baptist church. BUT we want our religion to be a family experience. Neither of us will budge on a conversion to a different faith but we are happy living as 'christians.' Well, now that we want to have the kids baptized - we are stuck. So here's my question - Could our daughters be baptized un both churches? Both as a catholics and as baptists??? Any insight would be greatly appreciated especially if you've been through something similar... Thank you in advance.

do you think it is wrong for a guy to like junior/senior high football and baseball players? i mean while they are still in uniform after the game? or the whole team at the same time in the lockerroom? of course this is just fantasizing but is it wrong to fantasize about it?

...okay. Everyone knows that if you find a penny heads up, you pocket it, right?? Well. What if you find the penny heads DOWN? You can't leave it, it would always just stay heads down. Do you pick it up and toss it behind you, not glancing back? Or pick it up and give it to someone?? Does anyone KNOW?

Is there a special reason we drop the huge lit up ball for each new year, or is it just one of those things we just do? A friend from Australia said, they celebrate just by counting down and sometimes lighting a few fireworks. I've noticed other countries doing other various things.

Althought I believe he should have been executed, the redeemed part of me hopes that he had a chance to receive Jesus. In the past I heard that he thought that he was the reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar. Based on my opinion of what it says in Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar humbled himself and gave glory to God (got saved). What do you think?

Turn to God not images made of wood and stone. Read Exodus 20:4.

Is it all a bunch of silly coincidences or do Christians actually worship the sun?

Some people say that Jesus never received worship or asked to be worshipped. The Bible paints a different picture.

Matt. 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Matt. 28:9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. (In this case Jesus actually commands worship)


Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.

Here we see God the Father commanding all the angels to worship Jesus.

When I was about 16, I used to have depression issues, and so I learned how to block all bad emotions from occuring in my brain. However, now, at 18 and after coming out as bisexual, this is having an adverse effect on me; I'm unable to fully bring out my true personality because I am so nervous about acting it in public and my brain chooses to block the nervousness rather than learn to overcome it. I am a guy and extremely girly; i keep trying different things like wearing clothes that fit my personality better (tighter clothes, more stylish, etc.) and I have been making progress, but I can't seem to fully bring out my inner self, and I don't think I'll fully be able to be happy until I am comfortable with myself and/or able to act my true personality without nervousness about repercussions. It really doesn't help that I live in one of the most gay-hating districts in America. Any suggestions? I'd appreciate any advice, but please no insult responses.
