Society & Culture - 7 January 2007

I'm 16, and I'm a guy and I'm not good at sports, so I don't play them. I live in Toronto, Canada and all the guys here play hockey. I don't because it doesnt interest me so they all call me gay and no one likes me. I'm not gay, I just don't like sports. Sports doesnt interest me. I've tried them, and hated it. But now I think my life is over because my Dad's company is sending him to Dallas, Texas. So we are moving down in Febuary. This means I have to start liking football or no one there will like me, because I've heard foorball is the main thing in Texas. People expect a guy to be into sports, and be strong and all that stuff. Even wikipedia has a article about it and says so:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masculinity
but I haven't followed all the guidlines or rules for masculnitiy or whatever, so it means I won't become a proper man the way they should be? Like asking this question makes me look weak or w/e and not playing sports makes me gay?

is there any other reason the turn gay that has nothing to do with sexual relations with the same sex? can you guys name the reasons one might choose to be gay. P.S. I support gay people so you haters dont start bashing on this question. its a totally legit question.

Just thought i'd ask - i wanted to see if i could get an actual line of answers and close it in a couple days and have no "junk" remarks -

I have moved to a new area, and these are the churches that are most plentiful here. I have been attending Catholic church for a long time (though I was never confirmed a Catholic), but the closest church is almost 20 miles away.

I am open to exploring new faiths who have houses of worship in my local community.

Twenty-five percent of Americans believe that Jesus Christ will return to earth in 2007.

Please read the article before you comment:

No where in the bible does it say when Jesus is coming back!!! How can so many believe this. I will take a guess why. BECAUSE THEY WANNA BELIEVE ITS TRUE!!! Just like all religious people.

WHO thinks these people will stop believing if he doesn't show up?

I have a friend who is a Jehova's witness and I don't really like to bring in the topic on religion with her out of respect and I am curious. I know you don't celebrate Christmas, or birthdays...but why do you celebrate wedding anniversaries? With all due respect I know a wedding celebrates the union of a man and a woman who are in love but a birthday is the celebration of the birth of a human being that is a product of that love.

let me elaborate, if a psychic could visualize what's going to happen in future, that basically tells you what's going to happen in future has already taken place before (or at least concurrently with) "present".

lets imagine your life is being written in a book by God ( God knows who), if at present time you are on page 30 (to you,pre page 30 is history and post page 30 is future), But that doesn't mean anything beyond page 30 has not been taken place, the book about you has already been been finished before you even flip through the very 1st page. If you think future is not predestined, that's because you can't beat the "Time" factor to jump to page 50 while you are on page 30. Psychics are those who have the ability to beat "time" and able to travel forward or backward at ease. therefore give you a glimpse of the future.

"What's meant to be is meant to be, one way or another"
What's your perspective on this theory?

I don't see it if it's here. Walking through supermarkets and shopping malls, blindly staring, pretending everything is just fine, afriad to show feeling. The music is dead, without any real emotion. The movies are all escapist crap. Money and luxury, big screen TVs, SUVs, and jewelry rule the world. Why? No passion. No passion for the things that matter, for what's in the heart, for love and art and music. I speak of music not created on a computer, but on an instrument. Where is the passion? Oh, yes, we see people with a passion for violence and death, but is there any passion for life, for adventure, for what is real and true? Or are we doomed to live and die as robots, doing what is expected of us, living by the rules, afraid to speak out of turn, of being politically incorrect, of what other people might think. We don't have to be out of control to stop being controlled, do we? Tell me what you think, and I mean say it out right, like you've got a pair!

What could possibly be wrong with everyone..Who cares if the English is correct?Why is it such a big deal.. People scan for hours to see what questions they can find to answer ,yet they cannot answer anything in an intellectual way but they are so quick to correct someone's grammar.I have been on computers far longer than most of you .. I was on them before home computers.I have never criticized anyone for their use of the language and now the English language has been so butchered by the use of short cuts on cellular phones ..What I want to know ..who gives a royal crap .. I mean really .If you can't read between the lines and know whats being said don't bother..You are insulting people and hurting their feelings because you don't have the intelligence to see a need or answer a question nor the decency to avoid conflict because of a typo..I miss the old days when only smart people could use computers.People always apologized about spelling.I had a joke that i said I spoke fluent typo

When i found out they were going to start showing "The Wire" and this new series they have showing the lives of black drug dealers, killers, gang bangers etc called "American Gangster"...i refuse to watch that channel...Question is, what the hek are they trying to do? Whats the purpose of putting these shows on glorifying the crime and violence that plague the black community? Hold on BET is owned by Viacom..a company ran by a white guy named Phillip P. Dauman. What are they trying to do? They have a demographic in mind, they know who their audience is...wtf?
