Is it just not as deragatory? Is it just less P.C. to call a female 'fat' than a thin male 'skinny.' I have an extremely high metabolism and am 'thin' and there is little I can do about my weight. I just don't understand why people find it 'okay' to comment about my lack of weight, but they don't dare bring up how someone has an abundance of weight. This is very frustrating to me because it has the same effects on someone's psyche in either situation.

the people have rights, the church should be in control if you truly feared God....and not the old cathloic church ethier, where they killed everyone for sinning. If we have to be a democracy, we should have God first..... there are more against God then there with him, and God will always fall with this government.

I ask why b/c I've known her for so long...and it's not like she isn't use to different complexions

this is while we were walking to summer school--it was a very sunny and humid--

friend: " we should switch spots I'm the one who needs to get darker"

-I wasn't offended by this and we switched spots-
-but then I thought why would she want to be in the sun she's always obsessing about her complexion-

Me: "Why?"
Friend: Well you don't want to get any darker, do you?
Me: (laughs) that's mean you know
Friend: well you dont...

-I waited a while to see if she realized what she was saying...and when she didn't...I stopped laughing... what a stupid thing to say... we've been friends since grade 3... it didn't bother me so much untill the next day...when I thought about it again-

the fact that she was serious about it...is what offended me... how are you going to say that to someone who has probably been made fun of...for having a dark complexion
what a stupid thing to say

...with each other??
Will someone rise up and make the supreme sacrifice to unite all of them? Can such a thing happen now when we are all told that a messiah will come from the sky, or already came? Is all the murder about religion and if so why?

Most answeres to my questians are really to stupid to even concider as the best. Most answeres don't even address the questions I ask but berate me as a person for asking them. I am thinking there is a clique of folks here that pick those answeres just for the points.

I'm really just curious. I mean, what could one say in order to defend their point against Catholicism? What are its greatest flaws? And why are some people so devoted?

I have a verbal agreement with my gardener and have for almost 3 years. I pay him monthly - a certain amount - "rain or shine." If it rains, he doesn't cut the grass and I still pay. He comes on a weekly basis.

He recently left his bill behind with a little note that said "I'm going to take the 4th of July week off." I know he's going to want me to pay him the full amount for the month. Should I??

It may or may not be important to note that my wife and I get him a Christmas gift every year. It's not like we're slave drivers! But I was brought up under the mentality that you work for your money. Am I being a hard ***? Do I just pay t he guy the full amount.?

So about 60% of the time that I go in or out of a store that has those anti-theft columns at the door they go off... It's really weird. I used to think it was my cell-phone - but now it's just freaking me out.

Any ideas on what the deal is?

...And no, I'm not stealing anything from the store - the alarm goes off when I go in OR out.

supposedly the spirt world is the same as our world but is controlled entirly by enteties floating around which is supposedly written in the paganism law. also that it is possible through such portals that u may enter the spirit world however a human cannot withstand the spiritual energy flowing through the spirit realm. U would have to be physically dead to enter safetly which i suppose would happen if i entered it or it would force me into the real world. and dont say it's impossible beacause i know it is I'm just not sure how.

The R&S is definitely one of the most interesting category on Y!Answers.
We all know that one.

What else can we all agree on, unanimously?
Peace is good.
Love is passionate, confusing, and beautiful.
Cellular phones going off in movie theatres are irritating.

George Clooney is perhaps one of the most gorgeous men to walk the earth...


What do you think should be on the "unanimously agreed upon" list?

If so...
What do you personally recall from you life-before-life? What memories do you have of that time? (Please, for your own edification and mine, don't include what you might have been taught about the time before you were born; but instead, keep strictly to that which you experienced directly during that time before your birth.)

and...
Is it fair to think that life-after-death will be a similar existence?

finally...
Does considering these questions and formulating your honest and personal answer offer any substance to what you presently believe is true about life-after-death?

The growing imminence of natural disaster or terrorism accentuates evacuation as a possibility for 400 million Americans, Australians and British. A ready-size bag containing things like: dry-food bars, water, face-masks, radio, batteries, matches, torch, sunglasses, sunscreen etc. could be prepared and kept in an easy to retrieve place in case you need to leave your home quickly.

Why do a lot of women think that men want these stick figures like Paris Hilton? Statistics show that 80% of men in the United States prefer curves, so why do women listen to the TV, the fashion magazines, the movies, written by and controlled by Gay men and straight women? It seems no matter how hard you try you can not convince them otherwise. Curvy Black and Curvy Hispanic women are so proud of their figure because they know Black and Hispanic men appreciate it. I don’t know what white guys like but, maybe you curvy white women could be more open to interracial relationships (statistically 5% are in the us) because, you tell me a Hispanic or Black man doesn't like curves and I'll tell you someone is full of s***

I know some people watched it,.. many, I assume by the response to the earlier questions, did not... but for those who did, what did you think?

I didn't think it was that bad actually! I quite enjoyed it.
I thought that both families got what they needed! The kids (and Parents) on the motorcross family got some discipline and structure,... and the Pagan family got some fun!!!
And, no one's wands were broke in half! No one was too crazy, and everyone seemed normal-ish. ^_^ Yay!

Do you believe in the religious god that they teach us about or do you just believe that there just is a god that exists. The more I live the more I think that "God" is just our parent sitting up there helping us when we want to be helped.
