the (hijab?? sorry, sp) out of choice and respect for themselves and not because their culture forces them to out of possessiveness? I was always taught the latter, basically, and read something recently that someone posted that made me think I had been taught wrong.

I am sorry if this question offends anyone. It is truly not my intent to offend, but to gain knowledge and to correct any wrong ideas I may have. (I know I often come across offensively in my questions and I never intend to)

Is it because there are too many "minorities" there or something? All the White people in Florida either live upstate, or in gated communities...

They said, 'hello, nice day isn't it?'
I said,' Oh yes, what a lovely day it is.'
Then they said,' Where here with a message from the Lord God Jehovah!"
And I said, I'm sorry but I'm an atheist.'
And guess what?
I got handed a violation notice!
Who thinks this is fair?

If science is on its way to discovering our world, why do people still believe in creation? Why do people still believe in higher powers, something that can control us? Are people really that weak?

1) Unless that non-Catholic is thinking about becoming a priest, why would they even care.

2) If they want to know out of pure curiosity, why don't they do a poll of the priests who voluntarily gave their life to be married to Christ's bride, the Church, and then find out the reasons that the Church gives for her teachings on priestly celibacy?

The Catechism of the Catholic Church gives very reasonable explanations for the questions that most people ask about the Catholic faith.

He didn't. The "Lady Hope" story was debunked by Darwin's daughter. It doesn't even take WORK to check this out. Wiki it FFS.

Is this the required uniform for those going door to door? Don't they know they look like idiots? Is part of their "mission" to look like this to turn people off?

So, yes of course I watched that t.v. movie about gay people going on strike. And I've been seeing a lot of stuff written here and in other sections that discounts our contributions to society. So...

I am wondering, if we did go on strike, how it would affect the country? I mean yeah there were a whole bunch of stereotypes in that movie, like all the hairdressers walked out first. So I don't want to go by what a movie says would happen. But in the land of reality, what kinds of jobs or volunteer work would you not be doing if we were to go on strike? I am interested to see how severely straight people would be affected.

(I don't expect anyone to be all that specific with their answers if they don't want to be. I don't wanna be reported for chatting/personal communications! But it would be interesting to see what fields would be left empty if we all left.)

I'll go first since I can't answer my own question: social worker, rape crisis counselor

I... I just did a search on this question, to pass the time, and the questions and answers I read shocked me. I already knew that some polls had reported that 48-ish percent of Americans believed this, but I was under the impression that those people had no access to the internet or civilization.

Did I miss some big science and history lesson that disproved basically everything we've discovered and otherwise proven about the past?
