I dont know if I am an alcoholic, but I am maybe somebody who likes to drink a lot. I can stop, but I do like to drink, sometimes I drink a few while driving, but I drive perfect. never had a ticket or accident ever.
what is your opinion what an alcoholic really is? and what causes it? or is it just another way to make people feel that there is "something wrong with them?"

Both parents were alcoholics. I don't have any friends to hang out with so when I go out and get really drunk and feel like a make a fool out of myself. I used to live in a large city and my drunken behavior was normal, but now I live in a very small town and people think I'm some kind of wild woman.. I don't know what to do. Many of my so called buddies won't hang out with me because I get too rowdy, but I don't know how to control my alcohol

I've been browsing Yahoo! Answers for awhile now and I'm avoiding the religious section like the plague. This is rather sad since spirituality is one of my favorite topics to talk about! I've seen some absolutely great answers and advice, except in the religious section. Instead of just voicing your beliefs and leaving it at that, everyone seems to get really defensive and next thing you know a flame war has started. Why is that? Why does everyone have to be so rude to everyone when it comes to religion? This is not just in Yahoo! Answers but in nearly every aspect of society.

You'd think people in the Religion section would be the kind-hearted ones.

I mean I think a lot of the "token treatment" that some of us get from other ppl are heavily influenced by shows such as these, but do you think we benefit from these mocking products of the media at all? What are some of the downsides of shows like these?

Me and my sister have this problem with my dad and the way he eats. He grew up with a big family and everyone had the worst eating habits. He talks with his mouth full, food flys out of it, he makes that gulping noise when he drinks, even when he swallows solid foods! Plus that weird clacking sound when you put to much food in your mouth. We've confronted him on his manners countless times, everytime we say something like "Dad please stop I'm trying to eat" Or "Could you please be a little quieter?" But he ignores us, so we suggested that he at least not eat around us, or go into another room. But guess what? We can hear him in the other room! It's that bad! We really tried having mature conversations about this but he gets mad! As if he has the nerve to be the mad one! It's gotten really bad, I feel so helpless, the sound is seriously sickening, nothing we do seems to work. How can we confront him if all he does is have a hissy fit? Please help!

But when it comes to people and their sexuality there is a problem.
I think this country puts so much emphasis on sex (along w/ many other things) makes it a hypocrisy

I believe China and Russia will end up attacking America. So Christians the end times are truly upon us. Israel want to attack Irans' nuclear sites this year, and Iran has already said they would not want to dare try. Russia is making itself into a mititary power again. Egypt has said if Iran gets nuclear weapons they will too. Jordan is now saying they want to go Nuclear. Scientists have moved the doomsday clock forward to five minutes to midnight. Midnight symbolising a global catasrophy. Good, then end of Human history will be at hand and I cannot wait. And get this Christians, Chipping(microchip) will be compulsory within a decade, I found out yesterday. Christians are you looking for the return of Christ. The rapture many not be too many more years away, because the tribulation may not be too far away. I believe that the world dictator is alive today. Just has not been revield yet because we are still here. Are we getting close or are we getting close?.

To do this, we need to free it from religious based restrictions. Most Christians say that cloning is an unnecessary science, that may well be, but don’t you think we should find out for sure? If it is as they say, then we can abolish it. But we should at least try. After all, it has the potential to be a science that benefits our species immeasurably.

What would you do if someone is parked in your reserved parking space that you pay for? This is at my apartment complex. I've noticed that this same person parks in other peoples' reserved parking spaces too. And this person probably does drugs.

1. Would you have it towed immediately?
2. Would you just leave a note on the car? If so, what would you write on the note?
3. Would you just report it to the apartment manager?

If you check on my profile you'll see I asked a question about racism. And that was why it was okay for blacks to make fun of whites in the media, but not vice versa. I also have this question. Why is it in school, such as my college, there are funds and clubs for different types of races but not white?

For example when I was in high school there was a "African American Society" "Pacific Islanders" and "Latino Pride" club. We also has special days such as "African Pride Day" etc. There was an incident where a fellow student of mine attempted to begin a club called "The American Caucasion Group". It got declined because they said that making a club like that was being racist. Theres a huge double standard.

My question is why is there college funds, clubs, and other things that they have for every race except for white?

I was watching the History Channel the other day and the documentary mentions 'other books' that didn't make the cut for being placed in the Bible. It said that Jesus and God had many more books, one written by Mary herself, that didn't make the cut because the guys putting the books togather didn't like how these books gave women a higher place in society then they preferred. They mentioned other reasons given, but that's the one I was really curious about. So, what happened to these other books? Do you think they even exist/existed? Why?
