Society & Culture - 11 January 2007

Does anybody remember the various stereotypes or high school terms you labeled your classmates for fun in high school?
I need to talk about the 80's and I can't remember. I can only think of a few.

I remember : The Punkers, Mauds (spelled wrong I think), New Wavers, Stoners, Hip Hoppers, Rappers, Jocks, Nerds, Dorks, Sluts etc....Can you help me think of anymore? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Is it because Jesus said "Blessed are the meek"? Is it because Jesus was crucified by the Romans rather leading an army against the Romans and kicking their butts? Or, are some faithful, devout Christian men not wimps at all? (P.S. I am not trying to offend anyone. Rather, I really want to understand whether a man can be masculine and macho and also a faithful, devout, serious Christian--and if this is possible, how can is done in a world that measures men by how tough they are, how rich they are, how successful they are, how beautiful their wife or girlfriend is, etc.)

Sometimes I feel as though my humbleness and kindness can get taken advantage of. I feel as though I can compromise my wants and needs to help others as much as I can (at school, at home..etc.) but sometimes it feels as though they can't do that in return and just take me for granted as though it is my responsibility to always help everyone else out.

In many churches especially by today's standards, people praise pasotors and ministers as if they were some type of devine essence. It appears that both pastors and congregations have become disillusioned with what role they should play. This does not mean that people shouldn't give credit when it is do. However, there is a great misconception about who get's the priase. What do you think?

I am so sick and tired of hearing people downing christianity, yet our country was built on christianity and since the democrats have had their way our country has gone down hill, taking prayer out of school? If we had it in schools we might not have so many people in prison, who by the way are now praying to God. Or how about so many people downing our military men!!! If it wasn't for war..you know the ones you are soo against, you wouldn't have the freedom of speach you use to run your mouths about things you know nothing about. So if you don't like this category, than stay out of it...oh I'm sorry, did I infringe on your rights..the ones we faught for and won through war!? Why do you think our nation has always been so prosperous? Because until not too long ago, our presidents were christians! They say not to mix politics with religion, but they actually should go hand in hand, if we knew what was good for ourselves.

I understand the view of defiling the temple. This basically means drinking alcohol or smoking tobacco.

Alcoholism is sinful to a very high extent. Being a full time smoking is unheathful as well.

What about have a glass of wine and a cigar? Is this not moderation?
In the Bible it says to do the right things in moderation.

I walked into a Baptists church and saw many overweight people. Is someone telling them to be overweight? These people are not doing what they could for their bodies. So, why are they not considered defiling the temple and get thrown out of the church.

I knew one Baptist church that had a youth leader that went out of his wife. He wasn't kicked out because he didn't commit the "crime" of smoking or drinking.

In the Bible, it says to be faithful with the wife. Where is the Bible does it say you can't smoke?? The actual word "smoke". You won't be able to prove it.

Why are so many of you so insane?

When I mention the potential extinction of future mankind, many people on Yahoo figuratively jump for joy.

When we are speaking of the death of mankind we obviously mean the death of EVERYTHING you hold dear. Your children of today are precious to you. The children of the future are your greatgrand children. You suffer and sacrifice for your children today. Both you and your children will suffer for those of the future. Therefore, the children of the future are even more precious. The children of the far future are infinitely more precious.

Those who cheer for the extermination of humanity hate or neglect the sacrifices, the life, and the love of your species. Do you all share that sentiment, would you all not care if all you struggled for was in vain?

Or are there more of you with loving spirits?

Please let me know.

Do what you will, if it does not harm others.

I think it covers everything and is great to base your life around.

What do you think of living by this rule. Does it for you sum up everything?

What would Christians think if the Wicca Rede was posted in school? Is there really a difference? They both encourage good behavior. "In it harm none, do what ye will."

I personally believe God (any of them) does not belong in public school.
