I was playing online with my Playstation 2, and the thought just crossed my head. I was wondering what other people thought. If we're characters in God's video game system, what happens when he shuts it down?

My family for generations has always had herring for new years to bring in good luck and the new year, but we had to eat the herring standing on top of a chair. I know, it sounds silly, but we've done it forever.... I've heard that black eyed peas (never had them) and some type of roast (don't know what kind of roast) was common, but was wondering what else there was. What are your traditions for bringing in the new year with good luck?

It's when you ask the bible a question, close your eyes, open to a random page, and put your finger on a word without looking. Whatever that word is (or phrase) has something to do with the answer to your question.

We are working on writing essays in English class. The topic is: Describe an encounter that demonstrated the importance of diversity to you.

Here is the essay:

The wind rushed past me and the smell of falafel floated up to the heavens. The brightly lit stores beckoned to us with hearty tunes and offers of the lowest prices of the season. The sounds of laughter tinkled like glass in the air. No, this was no another weekend spent in New York City as many my assume. In fact, this was one of the many days spent on the Boardwalk in Alexandria, Egypt.
My trip to Egypt for a second summer was an experience unlike any other. The customs there are very different from those of Americans. For instance, when my family and I would visit my aunt, it was a natural, if not necessary, thing to kiss her on both cheeks. The affections Egyptians show towards each other differs from the stand-offish manner between, for example, parents and teenage children. Here in America, very few teenagers would rather be locked up in detention with their most hated teacher than be caught dead kissing their parents on the cheek. This is proof that family values are emphasized more in some cultures than they are in others.
In addition to learning about different family values, I learned about social dos and don’ts. For instance, in Egypt a girl that had a conversation with any guy that was not a relative was frowned upon. In contrast, here in America if a girl was seen talking to a guy, it would be completely normal. Now although humans are adaptable to different environments, it took me quite a while to adjust to this social policy. Even when I did attempt to abide by this social guideline, I found it almost impossible because it was just more natural for me to just talk to guys. Of course, one slip of the tongue and I was seen as a wayward girl. As challenging as it was, in due course I learned to bite my tongue and receive the respected glances of adults and peers.
Finally, even something as important as education differs in Egypt than it does in America. For instance, high school lasts for only three years in Egypt. Now although that may sound like a dream come true to many American students, it is a nightmare for students in Egypt. High school becomes more competitive than it does here and the students feel the pressure from parents, teachers, and society. They scramble for high grades in three short years and pray that their hard work will pay off in the end. Unlike here in America, their grades in high school are the one thing they can rely on to get them into colleges.
This experience definitely opened my eyes to worldwide cultures. To think that I would have grown up in such a fascinating culture made my trip to Egypt all that more worthwhile. Gaining knowledge of the customs, social mannerisms, and even education was just an added bonus to this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Such an experience helped me develop individually by opening my eyes to the varied ethnicities of the world. This is part of the reason I am anxious to delve into college and embrace the diverse individuals I will meet.

the worshiped god of the moon in pre-islamic was Hubal?

Seriously, fundie islamaphobes have tried to smear the Islamic concept of a monotheistic deity as pagan and "Moon God"ish. But since Hubal was the moon god that Arabs worshiped, where would Allah fit in?

In society today sometimes its hard to go up to someone and just say something politely. People might say your mad, hawker etc.
Do you think the internet has made people less social in a way that it may give security that no one knows you but just closes you in a world of your own?
Interested to see opinions on this one

I'm in National Junior Honor Society and they require me to volunteer for 50 hours. So far I've got 40 hours from going to a soup kitchen, the school store, and chances I have at school but lately I can't do those anymore due to my schedule. I don't know any of my neighboors either, and I don't really want to try to. And I don't know any of my local animal shelter or nursing home. I live in Jacksonville, FL.
