I want to know how you say:
They used to bathe
As in Banar in the imperfect tense
If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated :)
Thanks!

I have heard the story of how a contingent of African-Americans went to the Louvre to demand that the African artifacts be returned. I heard that the response from the Louvre was that they should be honored that their artifacts were being housed in such a prestigious institution. Did this actually happen?
I went to the Louvre to try and find where these artifacts were, and I did see a separate building, close to the Arch de Triomphe de Caurosel, where they had some artifacts from Africa, as well as from Oceana and some other places. I suppose this could be what the story is referring to, though I also heard that there has recently been an opening of a museum in Paris that is devoted to "primitive" art. I believe this new museum might be related to the Louvre, or that perhaps the artifacts from the annex were moved to this new museum. I understand that it was a pet project of Chirac, who felt strongly that this so-called primitive are was just as valid as any Michaelangelo.

I see a question on here that some one asked if a Muslim girl is free to wear a veil or not, then Muslim answerd she is free.

I live in Iran . Here any girl who don't cover her body and hair will go to prisone and will be beaten if her parents don't pay for her crime.

Isn't Iran an example of Islamic country in the world?

I asked my father to don't wear like most of woman who cover all their body like most women do here in Iran because walking in street is so hard for me, then he told me if you don't wear it I will not let you go to collage.

I am Muslim girl and I am not free girl.
You Mulim are lieing , if nowadays people say lot of bad thing about Islam is because you are bad Muslim and don't blame some one other than youself.

In response to a previous question (first link), a few expressed this sentiment: "speed limits are a safety issue, marriage limits aren't."

But isn't that a matter of opinion? For example, between December 1995 to May 1999, Montana's daytime automobile speed limits were whatever was "reasonable and prudent." Even though I did not live in Montana, as a libertarian-leaning person, I really liked this law, and saw "reasonable and prudent" as, well, reasonable and prudent. I had hopes the concept would sweep the nation. But, alas, OTHERS SAW DANGER WHERE I DID NOT, and the law was changed to be more restrictive. Do those who support the legalization of same-sex marriage understand that OTHERS SEE DANGER WHERE THEY DO NOT?

Behold! I just discover the prove to put an end to the godless atheism ones and for all.... the banana!

Now if you study a well made banana you will find on the far side there are three ridges and on the close side two ridges. When a human hand is ready to hold a banana it will fit perfectly. So the hand and the banana and design by god one for the other.

You will also find that the maker of the banana almight god design it so people can see the state of the banana without pilling it: green means too early, yellow means just right and black means too late.

Now god also place a tap on the top so humans can open it easly. When you pill it the outer layer will rest gracefuly on your hands.

The top of the banana is design by god for ease of enter and the size is just right for the human mouth. The fruit is tasty, easy to digest and good for humans to eat.

Now, if you still don't belive that the banana and the rest of the universe are all designed by god you must be deluded!

If you die before the rapture, do you want to be burried or cremated to a crisp? Some Christians are worried if they get cremated they will not have a resserected body. It does not worry me, as I will not be here anyway if I die before the rapture. So what would you chose, I mean you will be in Heaven anyway so why worry? Cremations are a little cheeper to have than a normal funeral which will cost at least 5 grand.

playing field so to speak. Put everyone on equal pay say, $100,000 a year, doing the same job that they do and gave everyone the same houses, 2000 square feet, same car, BMW and forced everyone to treat others with respect and dignity. Everybody would reset back to zero. Nobody would have any unfair advantage of having riches or connections of power, bam we would all be equal classes. WOULD THERE BE LESS CRIME ? WOULD THERE STILL BE POMPOUS ******* WHO THINK THERE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE? WOULD WE LOSE OUR IDENTITIES AS INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE? COULD THAT BE A UTOPIAN EMPIRE WHEN THERE WAS NO JEALOUSY, RACISM, HATE CRIMES AND DRUG CARTELS? YOU GUYS HELP ME, INFORM ME. COULD THIS BE THE PARADISE THEY SPEAK OF IN THE BIBLE?

Secular schools can never be tolerated because such schools have no religious instruction, and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith; we need believing people.

Please limit the number of extremist views. However diversity across the religous demographics are welcome.

"A sin consists in loving something that God hates, or in hating something that God loves. "

Why do religons across the world all try to pass the same "Alltruistic" ideals? Why do the big religons Judeo-Christian-Muslim all embrace "join us or die" approaces?

Sin is a tool mankind created in order to assign black and white to various types of behavior IMO. How is it even moral when one person decides to kill another person soley based off of conflicting opinions/beliefs? (clarification: Those whom think they are better than others for whatever reason, or that a certain kinds of behavior makes individuals associated less valuable. prejudice on race religon orientation age lifestyle)

Makes no sense for religon to contain flaws if it represents God. (thus manmade) God would create all things (life) for the fact that we all want to keep living equa

I mean Im only 20 years old and I can see that the world around me is just getting faker and faker. Ever since high school I noticed that most people just want to be accepted and by achieving this they have to change and forgot their past. If the newest thing is to carry a little dog everywhere you go, youll see a bunch of girls doing that. If the media tells us that guys need to look a certain way to get the hot chick, guys are gonna change so they can achieve that. Why is it that there are few people who are true to themselves and know what really matters in life? The things that matter to me are my family, true friends, future, and happiness ... what do you value?

I myself am Catholic and I'm trying to understand. I've gone through CCD and confirmation years ago, but I've never understood this. The Bible states the Jesus is the only one who is pure, but is the idea of Immaculate conception not that Mary was born pure? I always thought that Immaculate Conception was the birth of Jesus. When I found out it was the birth of Mary, the daughter of St Anne. So can someone explain the contradiction between the scripture and catechism?

I would say to all peoples of Faith please do not be lured by the devices of hateful thoughts for they are the stumbling blocks and are the stones that those blinded in their ignorance do throw upon the path and a hateful wandering in the paths of those with a deceitful heart that would betray the true Faith of Islam - therefore be joyful with the brothers and sisters that have restored themselves to the Light of Truth and Love.

I was wondering if the amount of people in relation to the population has become more dependant on bank loans these days to make purchases for homes and cars and businesses and college?

I have a feeling its been increasing for a while but i just would like to see some studys done on it or some web info or any information at all about this.

thanks.

oh and by the way I think taking out a loan means that you cant really afford it, and it causes dependance and is against american ideals. And is also proof that the wealth of the nation is an illusion.
