Society & Culture - 11 June 2007

I want to state right off the bat that this is not an "attack." it is simply a question to help my understanding of your reasoning behind some of your political beliefs. I am not some crazy liberal attacking you. in fact, while i do lean toward the left, i also have some right wing beliefs myself. I have studied the bible and went to a christian school. so here is my question. Why do many christians support the death penalty when john 8:1-11 clearly states against this. It is the passage with the adulterer who is going to be stoned and jesus states :"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” Since none of us are without sin, then how can anyone betray this. to me this passage is clearly stating that we are all sinners and therefore cannot pass a death sentence on another sinner. this is Gods job. Maybe our interpertations of this passage are different.i would like to hear your take on this.It's not fair for me to make a stance without hearing your side

The Dark Side. Feared by many. Embraced by few. I am one of the few. It is not bad. I no longer fear it as the many weaklings that inhabit this hellish pit called Earth! It felt cold,I was blind, I was angry, I was sad. How I embraced it. I thought about all the bad things that happened to me, all the dark and sad memories. I thought about all the times I was picked on,then I thought about getting my revenge on the bullies and hurting them in sadistic ways. I thought about all the people whom I loved and died in my life. I could also see the future. The dark side told me that my friends would die if I did not embrace what it had to offer. I gained strength through the pain! The dark side will serve me well! It will save my best friend's life! He will not die the same way my grandfather and girlfriend died! The dark side showed me visions in my dreams of my friend in pain and dying similar to the ones I had before my grandfather and girlfriend died. The dark side will save his life!

I have a lot of emotional and psychological problems, one of which I believe may be an eating disorder. I feel I want to seek out God in my life again but I don't know if He will forgive and help me since I'm not ready to address my problems.

Since God judges he must just be the Director or producer who wrote my lines and set the scene? Dont tell me we are improvising thats too simplistic.

Examples of analogies would be an apple, an egg, or water. Water (H2O) why? Water is 100% H2O in the different forms of vapor, solid, liquid. Each serves a purpose and use, but all are water. Not equal in the use or purpose, yet all forms being 100% the same chemical make up, the same water. God is the same in all forms as being God, yet they are all different in their beings, uses and purposes.

I met this really sweet guy. He is Mexican and I am Black. I speak limited Spanish, but I can follow a conversation though. He speaks limited English, but he can understand for the most part. But I want to have an extensive conversation with him besides the basic daily talk and I cant express myself without us sitting at the computer.

If something is too difficult to put into words, I will type the English version and it will show the Spanish translation with an audio pronounication. It is actually a fun learning tool, but it gets difficult sometimes if we are at a various location without the assistance.

I have been desperately been wanting to learn Spanish & Arabic for years. It's really mandatory in America. I am wondering can this work in the long run? Has anyone else tried this? What is a good way to start learning another language? Talking with someone daily will help I suppose because you hear it all day everyday.

OK, so.. I do no think anyone can just like a specific person in general for their gender. I believe you fall in love for the person themselves, and not by if they have a penis or vagina, or boobs and whatnot. I think it has everything to do with personality and not the physical make-up, and you cannot just be attracted to a specific sex. Does anyone agree?

They need it because all except a few are decent citizens.
The Prime Minister has paid tribute to Britain's Muslim communities for their "positive and growing contribution to modern Britain".
"Muslims overwhelmingly want to play a full part in the complex and diverse societies in which they find themselves - both contributing and shaping those societies."

"Others in societies in which Muslims are co-citizens must also evolve and adapt in how they respond to the changing nature of their societies...greater mutual understanding should be the aim of all of us." Blair

This is the type of crap I'm trying to tell you about that threatens who we are as a society!

I haven't seen this kind of filth in my entire life! There was adult language used and themes of adult content laced throughout the whole entire movie!

Then she was in her nightie in the beginning, with her long legs and dreamy waist and long flowing hair. Disgusting! How many teenage boys cast aside their core covenent with Jesus Christ at that moment?

We need to regulate everything that is watched, so our beloved children don't run into almost-porn like this!

I'm surprised this isn't playing at a bathhouse somewhere. One with all of those Asian ladies using relaxing oils.
