I don't mean at the mall or a stadium. I mean would you show it off at the beach or walking on the boardwalk? Would you wear a thong any place that swimming trunks are acceptable, and what age are you? I'm doing a little social science survey by age group. Thanks for your help.

Atheism is, essentially, a negative position. It is not believing in a god, or actively believing there is no God, or choosing to not exercise any belief or non-belief concerning God, etc. Which ever flavor is given to atheism, it is a negative position. In discussions with atheists, I don't hear any evidence for the validity of atheism. There are no "proofs" that God does not exist in atheist circles; at least, none that I have heard -- especially since you can't prove a negative regarding God's existence.
Of course, that isn't to say that atheists haven't attempted to offer some proofs that God does not exist. But their attempted proofs are invariably insufficient.
After all, how do you prove there is no God in the universe? How do you prove that in all places and all times, there is no God
You can't. Besides, if there were a proof of Gods non-existence, then atheists would be continually using it.

That's a stupid question, really. But I'm just posting it for the sake of the stereotype of all emo boys being a handsome Westerner. (Dyed Jet Black hair, long fringes, a cute face, black eyeliner/eyeshadow, slitting wrists?)

So here's my question: Why is it this way?

Can't people who are opposites of those qualities be emo too?
E.g.: Those 'not-so-handsome' Asians with afros who looks cheerful 24/7 could be emo too?

As I am trying to discover by way of simply asking polite questions, why is it that self titled "Born again Christians" are unable to answer directly without the incessant urge to refer people or "instruct !" in this dictatorial manner, anyone questioning Christianity to read excerpts from the Bible?? e.g. "read John" read this,read Him or Him etc. NO. I WILL NOT READ ANY SUCH BITS AND BOBS OF THIS MANIPULATED series of writings. Is that clear? I am asking YOU ! present day living people,with your arrogant self acclaim to simply answer the question as in its original form. Stand alone from references elsewhere and substantiate how you arrive at being "born again" seeing it fit to set yourselves on some sort of moral high ground due to an imagined visitation. I have further questions for the psychology section of "Answers" in the hope to clarify the disorder that shouts out loud and clear from many of these wierd geeks who are dangerously ensnared in this obsessive mindset. Stay tuned?

If it is just the color of the skin than even the members of the same family may have diffrent races. If it is based on certain features than many of the non whites have better features than most of the whites making them a superior race as compared to whites.

Why do people with inferior qualities and features often raise racial or castiests issues in their dealings with others?

Are we not being racist in suggesting that because Shilpa is being picked on it must be because of her ethnic origin? Remember last year - Jodie Marsh was relentlessly bullied - no suggestion of racism there. Some people are just bullies!!

Do you know anything of the legacy of the prophet MOHAMED (pbuh)?

This is not an attempt to make people convert.

But whoever reads this for once in your life give it one shot.

Watch this documentary, I think it will clear up alot of misconceptions

Whenever you see these "racially insensitive" questions please don't fall for them. This guy...who sometimes posts as a female (of different races) is only trying to promote racism and hatred. If you side with him, he gets off on that. The best thing to do is just ignore and report him as soon as you notice his questions.

I was thinking if enough people petitioned to take tabacco off the market, then it would give people more of an incentive to give up, in a sense they are selling drugs and people will have buy on the black market, however the government will loose millions on taxes. I am sure people will rather pay tax on something else rather than kill ourselves. From a smoker

1st of all shouldn´t it be "You shouldn´t judge me" since clearly you can judge things
Secondly, if you´re not supposed to judge people you can never make up you mind who they are.
So why do I keep on hearing this phrase like everyone knows what it means?

It annoys me so much.

If you have an argument with someone who is black, asian etc. you are always called a racist?

It was like that argument about muslims wearing a veil in this country, it is a fair comment, how can you communicate with all that on your face? Fair enought its your culture, but you are not in your culture, you are in the british culture.

I am saying this in light of the ridiculous press that has come about from the big brother arguments.

Why can't you coloured people just accept that sometimes people do not like you, not because of your race but because you are a prik.
