I came out to my dad not that long ago that I'm bi. He was pretty quiet about the entire situation. I'm afraid he's silently rejecting me. How can I tell if he's really accepted me and what should I do if he hasn't. Also, I haven't told my mom. What should I do if he tells her without my knowledge because I don't think I'll come out to her in the near future?

"exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etc.
the absence of or release from ties, obligations, etc."
-from dictionary.com

I am seeing more and more people falling into this Work, Eat, Entertainment, Sleep, Work, Eat, Entertainment, Sleep pattern all of the time. And I ask myself why? Is this really making people happy? And I find out that it's not, they just feel obligated to work, and then feel obligated to enjoy their small amount of free time and so they spend it entertaining themselves with television or movies or video games.

I would like to just live. Just live and wake up every morning being able to do whatever I want that day. That is freedom to me.

Does anyone have any insights or comments on any of this?

I meen, they can go down to the local church and have whoever will marry them, and they won't be arrested. In fact, they can do it the next day with another person. Isn't it that gay marriage is right now unregulated by the government, and thus they have more rights (bygamy, polyandry) than heterosexual couples. Do homosexuals realize lack of government recognition and control of their unions leaves them with more freedom than if the government starts interfering and regulating their relationships? Shouldn't the government stay out of people's bedrooms?

I want to get an idea of how many monkey or fish creation books I can sell. If there are enough people out there who are believers, it might be worth my time to right a theory on how we started out, oh say 500 million years ago and WOW, look at where we are today! whats next, with our monkey brians we can do anything.

vote now please!

This is a fact: All life on this planet is made of the same four chemical elements. Oxygen, Nitrogen, Hydrogen and Carbon. Slime mold, bacteria, bugs, fish, dinosaurs, apes and humans are ALL made of the those same ingredients. Given the 4 BILLION years of evolution and natural selection, you get the beautiful diversity of the natural world. We may not look much like an oak tree but at it's basic level, we are exactly the same.

With all this evidence in front of everyone, why is it still hard to accept the truth of evolution. It is no longer a theory, it's a fact. It really happen. Here is something Carl Sagan said on evolution in his series COSMOS. He said...

“Our ancestors looked at the intricacy and beauty of life and saw evidence for a great designer. The simplest organism is a far more complex machine than the finest pocket watch. And yet pocket watches don’t spontaneously self assemble or evolve in slow stages on their own from say, grandfather clocks. A watch implies a watchmaker. There seemed to be no way, in which atoms spontaneously fall together and create say, a dandelion. The idea of a designer is an appealing and all together human explanation of the biological world. But as Darwin and Wallace showed, there is another way. Equally human and far more compelling.”

Some Christians say that they are against homosexuals because the Bible tells them so (Lev. 18:22, Romans 1:24, 26-27).

Some people calling themselves Christians have previously used the wording of the Bible to promote human slavery (Lev. 25:44-46, Colossians 3:22, Ephesians 6:5, I Peter 2:18-21); and some people calling themselves Christians have previously used the wording of the Bible to promote the inferiority of women (I Timothy 2:12-15, I Corinthians 11:3, I Corinthians 14:34-35, Ephesians 5:22-24).

Since it is no longer acceptable to say that the Bible promotes slavery or that the Bible says that women are inferior to men, why is it acceptable to say that the Bible condemns homosexuality?

FYI: Edited for length from Wikipedia article on "Scientific method."

Following the Scientific method, researchers propose specific hypotheses as explanations of natural phenomena, and design experimental studies that test these predictions for accuracy. These steps are repeated in order to make increasingly dependable predictions of future results. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry serve to bind more specific hypotheses together in a coherent structure.

The process must be objective so that the scientist does not bias the interpretation of the results or change the results outright. Complete documentation of data and methodology are made available for careful scrutiny by other scientists and researchers, thereby allowing other researchers the opportunity to verify results by attempted reproduction of them. This also allows statistical measures of the reliability of the results to be established.

"Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes....A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men."

It sums up my thinking perfectly...and please....no quotes from the bible!

I have played some Japanese Pokemon games, but i don't understand what the words said. I heard that there are different dialects to the Japanese language and i don't know which one is the one used in the Pokemon Games. Also, what would be the best way to lean that language/Dialect? Any links or book tiltes, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I'm only 20, but i see on talk shows where 12-15 year olds want babies and they'll do whatever it takes to get them. If it means selling their bodes and having unprotective sex with anybody.

Some have just started to mature and they have just entered middle school, what would posses them to want a kid?!
