Society & Culture - 9 February 2007

i've been hanging around with this guy for some time now. he helps me a lot (school stuff and all), people have been teasing us, saying we look good together but i easily dismiss them because i never really thought we could be together, well, because the first time i met him, i knew he isn't straight. i don't know if i'm just being judgmental or what but i couldn't bear to share my guy with somebody else, especially gays/guys. Lately he's been sending messages implying that he has a thing for me or am i just misinterpreting them as his wanting to not just be friends with me? I've nothing against gays, bis, etc. in fact, i extremely enjoy being around them but i'm not sure if i can endure worrying about whether the next cute guy we meet would attract only me or him also. =(

True story, I went to a store, I will not name the store because i dont want to be sued. I wanted to return a present. I was the first in line. I went to talk to the lady at the register. She looked at me and said she was handling something and told me to wait. I waited five minutes then another customer came. He was Hispanic. He walked right in front of me and starting talking to the white women at the register. I let that go, i figured she knew him and after he was done she would see me. Now three second later the gentlemans friends came, 3 other hispanic men. SHe rang them all up and sent them on thier way. Now i was irritated but still understood maybe they were friends...so i waited. 10 minutes went buy and she didnt even talk to me. I requested to talk to a manager. The women rolled her eyes and called the manager. They manager was asian and said why are you white ppl so impatient.

You have just found out you are dying and nothing can be done to prevent your coming death.
Do you turn to God believing He is real and Heaven awaits you?
Do you turn to God before death out of fear of His realness being a huge possibility?
Do you simply go out with a bang & party hearty, believing He is not real and nothingness will be your ever-after?
Do you believe you will be reincarnated into a new life & body?
Simply die without any faith in anything, denying that you can not be wrong?
Or...
Do you reason with yourself about life after death, over-analyze God verses Nothing, and simply die without any real idea of what comes next and hope it is good if there is anything next?

It's called 'the reptilian brain'

Most would be wise to read about it.

The balance sheet is a stock statement, which is a snapshot of the microfinance institution at a moment in time. The statement reflects what the MFI owns and *what is owed to it* (assets), what it owes others (liabilities), and the difference between the two (equity or net assets). The balance sheet shows the net worth of an institution at that moment.

Or is it true that absolute power corrupts absolutley, as someone would have to regulate it ( a la big brother or animal farm)
Would we if we were all the same colour and religion still find something to discriminate against?

You have just inherited one million dollars.
HOWEVER, you are informed you can only recieve it IF you donate 10% of it FIRST to a Christian charity.

Do you not accept it because you are not Christian, and do not want to help the Christian faith in any way?

Or do you donate the 10% and to whom?

If a gay male (GM) and straight male (SM) live together in the same house for more than a year is there a relationship going on between them?

Gay male is dominant and high achiever and is older by about 5 years. Straight male is 22. Is there any chance the straight male can possibly offer a sincere care to the gay male?

Why do you think the SM always thinks that the GM is taking advantage of him? The GM is sincere in helping the SM, in fact the GM offers his house for the SM without any payment.

Yes, they do have sex. In their case, I think having sex is valid in the situation because they have an agreement to have a "special relationship". SM and GM agreed on that part.

Do you think the SM is taking advantage the GM because he is afraid of losing him? Do you think their relationship is rooted on trust or need?

Who needs the relationship better, the SM or GM? (GM seems trustworthy, but doubtful on sincerity.) Can a SM truly loves a GM? Does this happen before?

In Matt.12:25 Jesus is reported as having said; "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself shall not stand".

Judaism, Islam and Christianity believe in one God [one king(dom)] . They are however deeply divided. To make matters worse, the biggest of the three, Christianity is further paralised by deep divisions within it. Does this mean that soon, the kingdom will be on its knees?

I am a cart pusher at a grocery store. I just wanted to know why some customers (75% of them) cannot return their buggies to the return stations found on each row in the parking lot. They just leave them laying out in the middle of the parking lot, like they don't care. Are they too lazy to walk to the station? It makes me so mad to see how many people just feel that they can leave them wherever they want, even if the wind blows them into the cars and hits them. And also, the buggies are NOT trash cans. I wish that they would stop leaving their trash and dirty diapers in them (irresponsible behavior--Come on, we are all ADULTS here!!) It would be easier for us if the buggies would be put in the stations where they belong (or if everybody would not get a buggy if they didn't need it). Why, why, why?
