We don't need to trip up creationists. it seems they are quite capable of tripping themselves up.

What I ve noticed at school is that all the str8 boys in school hate the gay queen types of gay boys, but yet hang arouund the jock, bisexual, macho gay boys. Ok what I'm trying to ask is it homosexual people hate itself, or the individuals personality, and is bisexual guys (masculine) more accepted by society, than gay guys (fiminin)...or dont get me wrong gay guys can be masculine also, but just straight acting

The bible states that the bringing forth of life is a curse, I do disagree, I believe it is a gift. I believe that the creator gave us a gift that is closest to Him/Her, so if anyone is created in God's image, would it not be women? We carry and bear our sons and daughters, we feed them, care for them, shape their thoughts and ideas, their behaviors and attitudes, we are the keepers of future generations, within this role, what part do the men play except pay the bill and be the back up support. How do you feel about this?

I check back on this website every year or so and I can't figure it out. But it is definitely hilarious.

"Rule # 459: To create large butterfly in my rpg HYBRID, do following: # of points = (1d6)/(accuracy @ gpa), meaning start @ 6 C1 DP for it. And, the shrinking table on page 141 in Hero 5th is coincidently very proportional to my C2 unit, which is coincidently proportional to Primal Order rpg. What the table is trying to say is to add the points in the 1st column to his C2, which if total is PL then power stunt will be slow but if C2 total is @ DP then it will be quick. To calculate total points in GURPS or D&D, use C3, which will give a similar total points to their total. But, if you want to create a baby version of Mothra, then, just use the points as C2 DP that is listed in the 1st column, then figure out C3, which is C3 = C2^LOG10(C2), coincidently is total points in Dragonball-Z & Dark Champions.


Rule # 458: Description of the relationship between USA and Japan..."

then why are so many so dangerous to man? Why do some snakes and spiders have lethal venom? Why are some plants toxic? Why are there preadtors that can easly kill us?

And don't say "because man sinned"....there are 2 things wrong with that arguement. First, god, being god, already KNEW man would sin so why create plants & animals and later make them dangerous? Why not make them dangerous to begin with? And secondly, why would this not be mentioned in the bible?

So, why are there dangerous plants & animals on earth?

My husband has always had a steady job, but never one that made enough to support a family. (ie. $25,000 - $35,000) so I have always had to work too to keep a roof over our head. Every time we discuss him looking into a different line of work or education, his answer is "I don't know what I want to do". He then asks me to tell him what to do. For the first 15 years or so, I tried to help him find answers, but I now have refused to do so any more. I've explained to him that it is part of his priesthood responsibility to provide for his family, but instead of taking it to the Lord, or even discussing it with other men, he wants me to solve his problem. What should I do?

I will proofread it later. I am just interested in honest criticism on the content of this essay (not the grammar)!

Topic: "The most dicriminated Race in America" (FYI: I know mainstream scientists find the deffinition for the word
-race- a controversy)
Racism and discrimination go hand in hand in America. People who are victims of racism fall into the category of people who have been prejudged based on their appearance in relation to an entire ethnic group; this is what is known as discrimination, or prejudice. It is a fact that about every ethnic group has had a time in American History in which it was discriminated upon based on people's skin color, native language, and/or shape of eyes. For example, Asians were discriminated upon for years right after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, Muslims were ( are) equally discriminated because of the terrorists attacks on the twin towers, Hispanics are discriminated because of immigration issues and Blacks were (and still are) discriminated upon because of skin color. Dating from the early 15th century until today, it is evident that discrimination against people based on their skin color continues, especially in African American communities.

People of color have gone through years oppression and humiliation in the hands of the White man. Hopeful activists of the 1950's and 60's aided an entire ethnicity in it's liberation from the chains of slavery. Now in days it is illegal to cast racist remarks against any race, but the fact of the matter is that African Americans are still being outcast from society ( especially in the South of the United States). Now in days, one can still witness how stereotypes of the past can be brought to light in an instant. People of color are feared in certain communities, and so the person that believes the stereotypes attached to a particular race, in this case the African Americans, behaves with certain caution when approaching a member of that race. People of color notice right away the differential treatment between races and so united they stand in order to combat generalizations and stigma's attached to their character from the past. People of color have formed organizations like the NAACP, which brings to light all the illegal racist treatment by police, civilians and entire communities. This organization takes care of protecting the rights of African Americans, and/or people of color in general in order to make sure that everyone is treated fairly in the work force and in the streets.

Although we are now in the 21st century, African Americans feel that institutional habits prevent them from attaining the jobs and homes they seek. Thankfully reparations towards a better future for people of color are still being made and affirmative action is being upheld in the court systems. Both affirmative action and group activists contribute a good deal of pressure to the government in order to keep checks and balances on African American minorities throughout the Unite States. All of this protection for people of color is vitally necessary because their are still racist sentiments in the hearts of some American people. African Americans are still being passed up for jobs because of their skin color, this is mainly evident in predominantly white communities. African Americans are also being discriminated upon for "taking advantage" of the welfare system, which is an entitlement to lower class communities that cannot afford the high cost of living in the U.S. People of color are still victims of negative prejudicial stereotypes in school as well as in the workforce. THeir are White communities that believe affirmative action took away their place in a job they could not get. There are AMericans who blame people of color for taking a job position that could have otherwise been theirs, if it had not been for "the quota system" jobs have to meet. This is evidence of racist thinking because their are numerous reason why a person of color was hired for a position that had applicants of other races. People of color do not only face discrimination in the workforce they also experience hate crimes, brutal treatment by police officers and discrimination in the streets.

Even though it is illegal for police officers to brutally treat their arrestees, their are still countless cases of police brutally against people of color. Most of the time these cases have been caught on camera and so the whole world is able to see how police officers violate their authority and integrity by attacking an innocent person just because they felt threatened by that person's skin color. African AMericans also face discrimination in the streets. People of other races are weary when they see a group young black men approaching them. Young AFrican American males feel the most discriminated agaisnt in society not inly because of their age group, but also because of their skin color. Young African American females seem to feel the most discriminated agaisnt because they are women and are black. According to a national study on issues of politics, government, sex and marriage, researchers at the University of Chicago's Young Black Youth Project,, 54% percent of blacks receive poorer education on average than whites; 40% of hIspanics and 31% of whites agree. Clearly the school systems and government are failing in reforming the discrimination in schools at an educational and social level. In order for advancement in today's society, one requires a god education and fair treatment of peers and professors alike. How can an entire race progress intellectually if their education is being thwarted away by discrimination? A reform in today's school boards would be vitally necessary in order for blacks to have fair academic advancement and oppurtunites in life.

Discrimination against another race is not justified by one's fear of the unknown. People have to realize that the old saying of "stick and stones" is false and misleading, words can deeply cut and penetrate one's goal's and ambitions. African Americans in particular stand united against a stained history in which America's ethics were diminished to a minute grain of sand. Blacks have certainly improved their social, economical and political way of living since the civil rights movements of the 1950's and 60's, but life expectancy, school success and crime rates are much lower among many African American communities than white communities. Organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People aid African American communities gain access to equal opportunities in school, in the work force and in life. There is still much left to be done in order for black to gain equal status as a race.

I do not understand. So many questions and answers here deal with the issue of whether or not homosexuality or bisexuality is wrong or right, whether it is a sin or not, whether or not it is a choice or we are born with it. Fact: whatever the answer to any of these questions, it does not effect you, does it? If it is gnawing at your gut and cluttering your thought so much, maybe you are afraid that you are gay youreslf and trying to fight it. Sorry, but it's the only explanation that makes sense to me. Give me yours...

Well lately I have been wandering why my brother has been hanging around with his friend TOO much! They see eachother at school then his friend (Curtis) will come here or my brother would go there. They would go up to the bedroom and while I am on the computer I would hear thumping noises. Is he gay? Or just too friendly?

I asked this question awhile ago but it was mainly Christians who answered it...which was great because I wanted their opinion too, but I'm also looking for non-religious viewpoints.

Okay, so non-Christians: should polygamy be outlawed in our nation? Is making polygamy illegal infringing on people's rights...not only human rights but also religious rights?

I just find it very interesting that society for so long has pushed only monogamous heterosexual relationships on a legal level. It seems that polygamy is a victimless crime as long as it's not tied to things like forced marriage, child marriage, etc. In America, shouldn't people be allowed to marry who they want, even if that's more than one person? This ties into religion because for a lot of people, polygamy is a religious issue.

And yes, I have been watching a lot of Big Love lately.

Everyone thinks these fireworks are safe for kids and they are about the most dangerous. They burn about 1600 degrees or something like that.
