Society & Culture - 1 July 2007

I hought of this while vacationing in Hawaii and particularly looking at people who wore clothing from brands most closely associated with the surf/skate/snowboard culture (Quiksilver,Billabong, Burton, DC, Audio, etc...) . However, the same question could be applied to any group.

Heres how it works:

Based soely on your primary choice of casual clothing, define your self into one of the typical highschool stereotype (Nerd, Jock, Prep, Hip-hop, Gangster,
Surfer/skater, Goth, Emo, Punk, etc...)

Now explain to what degree you fit your selected stereotype, beyond your outward appearance.

For example: If you wear DC shoes, and clothes from Quiksilver, Element, and Burton along with a pear of baggy jeans, you fall into the surfer/skater category regardless, however does your lifestyle also fit this? Do you skate? surf? snowboard? do you generally fit in with other skaters?

This is for a psychology class I am taking next year. It sucks but the teacher gave us summer work

If all parties concerned and most are religious at grass roots level, actually sat down and told the provable truth only that Jehovah was just another version of Allah and on and on in the end conceded that neither parties God had intefered with the world in modern times and for that matter may not actually care or even go a step further exist. Truth shall set all from their respective mental perspectives and bodages free and all could be free in deed.

Even the theological scholars & doctors deny that the resurrection and ascension take place in physical dimension (real world). They rather took place in "spiritual dimension", which means it's only symbols (myths/imaginary)

It seems to me that with the election of George W. Bush in the president's seat, Christianity's agenda has been making marked advances, with laws being changed in their favor (the third-trimester abortion law, for example) and the renewed battle to replace prayer activity in public schools. How far, before rationality and non-religious thinking reassert themselves, will this slow, deliberate removal of citizen freedom extend?

I have always wondered about this. I have always wanted to try to do it too. Of course I'd like to know what dangers come with doing this feat.

Is it easier for you to talk to people of your same sex that you're attracted to... or easier to talk to people of the opposite sex that you're attracted to?

Do you find it hard or easy in general to talk to people you're are attracted to? Does this vary by gender or any other physicial, economic or social trait?

I'm not a native speaker. So I feel embarrasing when I come across the words I've never heard of.

"People often say that they're stuck in the rack race."
In this sentence I don't understand the meaning of 'rack race'.
and I'm not sure "rack race" is right expression because i dictated it after I heard a DJ in radio saying to listeners.

There are just two things that I know.
1. It is a sort of mentality
2. It sets you up to be frightened, impatient and annoyed by constantly.

The idea of Heaven seems to me nothing more than a cleverly constructed bribe.

If a person believes that a gold-plated paradise awaits them after this life - what other genuine motivation do they have to be a good person?

If the 'eternal payoff' for living a good life taps into human greed (ie. gold mansions and eternal life), where does that leave a person's desire to make this world a place of peace and hope for future generations?

Is it not similar to betting your whole life-savings on 'the favourite' horse in the Grand National?
How often does the favourite actually win the race?

If the idea of 'Heaven' is a bribe - who are the ones profiting?

If Heaven is not a bribe - what motivates you to live you're life with genuine concern for your fellow humans and nature?

Is this world just an old newspaper - fit for the rubbish pile?

Not to be rude or anything, but marriage is a sanctimony brought onto us by God. It is not a man made privilege, but a privilege given to us by God for the benefit of procreation and God's benevolence. So why do gays, obviously not living a holy lifestyle, want to embark on a holy matrimony?

Do they want to be married in church to? Do they want to be married by pastorsto?

Seriously, what's the point?

1 Corinthians 7
3Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.

I used to see lot of very good questions on Hinduism by stalwarts like, Prahalad, Netai Gaura, Sadaka, Jayaraman, Jayashri Devi Dasi, Krishna Devi dasi. They are also missing now. Where thay have gone ? They were thinking they are pillars of Hindusim and talk a lot about Geeta etc.
Are they driven out by the new group emerged in the name of Aum, Aradhana, Nani venkatesh, Chamunda, Magnolia, Suguna, copy & past. etc. ? I feel these people know very less and driven out tge real stalwarts out of jeleousy and ego. Am I correct. So Pandavas are defeated by Duyodana company.lol.
