Yesterday I read a sentence in a book:
Kim is a person that everyone who knows really likes a lot.
Is this sentence grammatical and natural?

This may sound racist, but my intentions are not any close. I am just wondering whether the rest of the world feel the same. I, for one, am not scared. I'm just wondering why most people in the world treat black people like raging monsters, and tense up whenever they see a black person.

If you had no knowledge of any religon at all and someone just came up to you telling you there's Gods, Goddesses, Angels, etc. how would you react?
How can you believe in something when there is no proof? That is the only reason why I am hesitate to believe in any religon I do not understand why you can believe in something that you do not know for sure is real but actual evidence. Then again a thousand years ago we had no knowledge of how to make a tv so perhaps in the next thousand years there will be proof of something. Afterall everything in the universe goes together so remarkably well I know there must be a force that permits it to be this way but how? How do you know if your God is real or what? And don't give me passages from religious texts please I am sick of that. You were not there when it was written how do you know for sure that some evil guy wrote it?

I am not trying to be rude
please do not be rude to me
because if it's rude I will not read the whole thing

I was at my best friend, Emily's, house and we were eating lunch. Her twin brother, Davie, was outside playing a game. Well, after lunch i got in the shower and I dried off and went into Emily's room. Well, i forgot my clothes in the bathroom and i didn;t rap up in a towel because it was just me and I was just walking into the bathroom. So, i walked into the bathroom and I see Emily's twin bro. Davie standing there, naked and I was also naked. We just looked at eachother with wide eys. neither of us could move. Then, Emily and Emily's mom walked into the bathroom and saw us both naked inthe same bathroom. Emily's mom's mouth dropped open and Emily just looked at me. they had thought we had taken a shower together! Emily passed me a towel quickly and i covered up and she passed one to Davie and he covered up. Worst of all, I was seen naked by Emily's bro.! It was embarrassing and it was also embarrassing that i saw him. What do i do? I walked iin on davie! Please help me!

Seriously, how arrogant do you have to be to assume the authority to tell others what some type of divine creator wants and doesn't want. Especially when that divine creator lacks any semblance of definition?

I would think some of you secretly do. For one thing, you accuse people who don't believe in your deity of 'hating' him, when we simply don't believe in his existence. For another, if you believe in an all powerful being, then you have to hold him responsible for everything, like it or not. (And don't try and pull that 'the devil' nonsense, if there were a devil then your god would have had to create it as well.)
So tell the truth, how many of you secretly hate your god? There must be times when you blame him for killing your puppy or not answering your prayers. Tell the truth.

Should children be allowed to pass out fliers expressing their freedom of religion in public schools? Why or why not? Remember that, if Christians have the right, everyone else does too.

Does a school endorse any particular religion by allowing students to distribute their own fliers about it? Why or why not?

What impact do you think fliers conveying a religious message would have when compared to other forms of religious expression like clothing or jewelry? More, less, or the same? How?

I would never have believed this if it had not happened to me just yesterday.
I was backing out of my driveway to take a much needed night out with my husband yesterday, and there were some JW's blocking my driveway.....They would not move until my husband yelled for them to leave the property....I was blown away...I WAS a JW for 22 years and I never saw or heard of such aggressive behaviour. Is this the new way to approach people?

There are those who will say that I am making this up, but I am not, I do not need to make up things. What is up?

Y do we rarely hear from Saudi people & their life styles & etc. ! ?
And especially hearing the voice of their women ! ?
It seems that there is no complain from their people , The UN nor
The USA as long as The oil... !
Is the most important thing In Islam which founded first in
Saudi Arabia , love, peace ...& etc. or to control & imprsison
women & their faces,heads & bodies in head to toe dark clothing
and inside houses(cages) with tall walls that do not asure if they are
alive or not ! ?
Isn't 90% of ISlam's teachings which was designed to mach with The Saudi men's mentality, about sexual jelousy & how to be with God by
controling, oppressing,degrading,mistreating....women ! ? Ha ! ?
Do we ever hear the voice of women from Europe, USA & etc. that
are gone or sold there as wife or mistress ! ?
* * * Am I allowed to have this freedom of speech in U.S.A. ?

Any comments ?
