All other holidays are just that single day, Happy Valentines, Happy Easter, Happy Flag Day etc. . New years is a single day but it also represents an entire year, but the whole year is not new at some point, say by mid-february.

Whenever there is a group project assigned, I'm the one in the group that does all the work. It's been like this for 4 years. It's so frustrating to. Because just when you think, "hey, this group isn't so bad! I won't hav to do all the work!" But then the day before the project is due, everyone else in the group either ignores your emails, phonecalls, and im's but you end up having to do all the work anyway!!! And trust me, I've tried slacking off to show them how they acted. But then they just said that I was a total fu&k#n idiot and it's my fault they failed the class!

I have a hard time talking to my freinds and they get really bored and leave probably because I don't know what to say and I stay quiet for a while. Then they are quiet to me. I am not a hyper person but I wish I can make a better conversation and have the right questions to ask, how to not stay slient, bring enthusiasm, be positive, entertain the person, what to talk about, etc... Usually they talk to me and then I am boring and then they think am always boring. Because I am usually hyper, I don't act hyper, because the first time I meet someone knew I cannot be hyper (like I usually am), but I am shy. Sorry for the run on sentences... (*-*) ahhhhh! please help me... :)

I find that atheists will often exhibit more religion than the most devout creationists. They are extremely atheistic which in and of itself, ironically, is practiced with such fervor it could be defined as religious. I also find that the God deniers are typically rabid environmentalists, another religion, if you will. So can you think of a single non religious person?

My little sister came home crying cause someone at her school said she was going to be nothing more than trash cause of her race and if she was asian or white she would be a good person and would make it in the world and ect. She is only 8 years old and the person is a teacher that she doesn't even have.

I am just wondering how someone can attack a kid like that? I know the world is rough and people do say things that most don't agree with, but why hurt to a child, especially one that is quiet and minds her own buisness?

And I fail horrible to see how telling a child that she is going to be nothing cause she was born a certain race actually helps her to be a good productive member of society.

In what ways are we more strict and unforgiving than God is?

Please don't give rude answers, they are unneccessary.

Thanks so much!

Not meant to be offensive.

I read on Wikipedia that they could. It says: In some countries with a Muslim majority, sexual crimes, including adultery and sodomy, carry the death penalty, as do religious crimes such as apostasy from Islam, the formal renunciation of one's religion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment

That seems a little harsh. Do Muslims not have freedom of choice?

what I mean is people living in the USA are come from different parts of the world and they are different in colors and races. I wonder are they living peaceful together now or there are still a lots of discriminations or things like that because of their differences.

I think that's pathetic. And being a christian, I still wouldn't do it even if the bible said it was permissable. I'm a christian, but I'm a decent human being first.

No one's tossed any my way lately, so I'm asking simply based on the replies I'm reading to questions posed by others. I expect those with guilt feelings to let me have it good, but my hope is that you can be honest with yourself and give me a real answer as to why you behave in the manner that you do.

There are those of you who are usually respectful. I'd like your input also.

"Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you ... Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question ... Does this parh have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use." Carlos Castaneda, The Teachings of Don Juan

What do you think?
