Society & Culture - 5 January 2007

A friend and I work as exotic dancers in Vegas. We both are brand new to the industry, and have a lot to learn. However, my girl is extremely arrogant, despite the fact that she a big beer belly, she needs to improve on her dance skills, and, among other things, could use some make up lessons.
She doesn't realize that by bad mouthing other (more skilled) dancers, not tipping various staff, and being snippy towards management is unprofessional and a poor reflection of her. She acts as if people are obligated to be nice to her and spend money on her.
She is pretty young, so I don't know how to communicate to her that her attitude is going to hurt her in the long run. What can I say?

That we might undersatnd each other better and get along more.

Noone can ask things about different races without ebing called racist. Noone can ask about "big bonned" people.

Dont you think if we could learn more by asking about things that we might have better understanding towards people different than us?

I tried craiglist... that's about all i can try doing. I don't know what else to do. Usually nobody responds to craiglists ads.

I'm not in any clubs, and i'm a quiet person. So is there any way to meet Foreigners in the usa for language exchange?

I live in California, yeah sure there's many foreigners.. But they are usually students, they meet Other foreigners in their ESL classes and they are satisfied with that OR are fulltime students who don't want to be bothered.

i've actually had a few encounters that never worked because the people i met were PhD students or College students studying fulltime and they never had time.

to children and deny them access to information that conflicts with the bible.
It turns out that more then a few of you answered that this should begin at birth, or at least a very early age. This confuses me, so as a concerned mother that only wants to do the right thing for my children I need to ask another question. Your answers will be much appreciated again.

My new question is this. If I teach only the christian bible to my children and deny them access to anything that conflicts with it's teachings, is there a possibility that they could be stunted both intellectually and psychologically, and have problems adapting to the world as it exists and not as they percieve it from a biased point of view when they reach adulthood?

Most people realize that there is only true God. Throughout history, this one ture God has appointed many good men to tell others about Him so that humans eveywhere may turn away from false gods and worship Him alone. Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace to be upon them) all spoke about this one God and worshipped Him alone.


In the Gospel According to Matthews, 26:39 (King James Version) we are told that Jesus \\\'fell on his face and prayed\\\' to God. And in the Gospel According to John, 17:3, Jesus declares that the one he prayed to is the only true God. This very God speaks to us in these last days in His final Scripture which He will safeguard from corruption. God announces in His book good news to all those who believe in Him and do right. He says:“ Surely those who say: Our Lord is Allah and afterwards are upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the Paradise which you are promised. We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There you will have (all) that your souls desire, and there you will have (all) for which you ask. A gift of welcome from the Forgiving, the Merciful” (Quran 47:2). “ Those who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from you Lord - He rids them of their ill - deeds and improves their condition. That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord” (Quran 47:2).

Accept this invitation, therefore, and enjoy a life of peace and satisfaction on earth, then everlasting life in the paradise of God. The true Scripture promises all this to those who choose no other god except the One True God who was worshipped by Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them). The truth has now come to you from your Lord!

Wont you accept it?

I recently visited NYC & stopped in St. Patrick’s cathedral and saw a full-fledged gift shop right near the exit. I could not believe my eyes. I am catholic but do not normally go to church, however, was in complete shock when I saw this gift shop. Is it me or is this greedy? I recall reading something in my younger years about Jesus flipping over a table when people in his village were profiting off religion.

My sister was given money to send to me from other relatives . It was last month and she still has not sent it. I want to send a thank you note but I would be saying thank you for something I have not gotten. However, a lot of time has passed so I don't want to seem ungrateful. Should I send the note anyway?

I'll give a thumbs down to answers that are written in this way:

ALL CAPS
No punctuation
Rife with misspellings
Poor grammar

If it appears that the poster is using English as a second language I overlook it. But as far as I'm concerned it's inconsiderate when people don't take the time to craft their answers in a way that is easy to read/understand.

As a christian I know to follow the bible's teachings as a guide to live my life. After all it is the word of GOD... But although the bible has the answers to a lot of questions, I just can't seem to find a definite answer for this one. Thanks in advance for your answers...

SPOKANE, Wash. — The Spokane Catholic Diocese has agreed to pay at least $48 million to people molested by priests... [Associated Press
January 5, 2007 ]
Federal Bankruptcy Judge Gregg W. Zive in Reno, Nev., said the settlement would provide survivors “with some measure of closure and allow them to move forward and continue the healing process.”
The abused Catholics have my heartfelt sympathy for the outrage perpetrated against them by those who represent their church.
Certainly, they are entitled to the church paying any therapy costs to help them achieve closure but in this day when the Catholic church higherarchy closes longstanding but less used churches because of lack of money, why do abused but continuing Catholics sue for so much money from their church?

Ha!!! the best answer was chosen that it will be Islam.
but because i missed the question and it is closed, i wanted to answer that He will Destroy Everything, and everyone will become ashes under his feet. Only the meek and a remnant will be saved. Then in that year, Many of the righteous from all generations will be resurrected.
islam, judaism, christianity, and all other things and people will be destroyed. If you will not live in peace and worship the creator God, you have no other option but to be destroyed.
Ok are there any rebuttles?
