Men: Would you have approached or started a conversation with you lady if she wasn't phsyically appealing?

Woman: don't you dress up for your mate and complain when you gain 5 pounds? Do you really think he approached you for your personality?

Okay, so I am pierced and I am planning on getting some taottoos done (after I've stared at the designs for a year or so and if I still like them). I don't look like everyone else. My hair is pink, and I wear a lot of black. On the other hand, I grew up in the country and my favorite thing is riding horses. So I don't fall under any of the usual stereotypes, not to say people don't try.

I want to know why people seem to discriminate against others that have tattoos/piercings? Tattoed people are just like everybody else, they just had the guts to get artwork on their skin instead of in a picture frame. I have met plenty of tattoed people and the majority are nice and friendly like everyone else. Some are teachers, servers, work in offices and such.

So can anyone on here that has said anything discriminatory against all tattoed people justify themselves? And I mean justify, not just spit and curse at me for bringing up a legitimate question, thanks. I'm here to ask, not to fight.

Some people could consider me "quiet" or "shy", but that's just me. I'm a natural introvert, and I know who I am. Some people don't understand me at times, and will point out that "I don't talk a lot" or say "You are so shy!" I absolutely hate that. I never know how to respond. What should I do?

At the council of Nicea the church called together several different scientists from around Europe. These scientists took a vote (Democracy is the best way to establish truth) and they decided that the Trinity was the absolute truth and that to say that Jesus and God were completely seperate was nonsense.

This has been scientifically proven, but why do some people reject this valid scientific theory?

Please share an experience that you have had to humble yourselves.
Quote by John Gardner " An excelent plumber is far more admireable than an incompatant philosopher the society that scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipe or its theories will hold water."

In high school, Holly was popular. Holly had her own car first. Holly liked to drink with the "in" crowd in the 10th grade.
Holly was head chearleader, Home coming Queen, and dated the popular football player. Seems like she was class president too.

Holly eventually died in the local state mental hospital...before our 25th Reunion!
Will I miss Holly? No, I never met her...she was too popular.

Leviticus 19:19-31
"Do not mate different kinds of animals.
"Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed.
"Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material.
"Do not eat any meat with the blood still in it.
"Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.
"Do not put tattoo marks on yourselves.
"Do not turn to mediums or seek out spiritists, for you will be defiled by them.

"Marge, have you ever actually sat down and read this thing? Technically, we're not even allowed to go to the bathroom."

Quoted from this site:
http://www.carm.org/doctrine/whatisthetrinity.htm

"Each has a will, loves, and says "I", and "You" when speaking. The Father is not the same person as the Son who is not the same person as the Holy Spirit who is not the same person as the Father"

Is it true?

Doesn't religion provide the perfect environment for domineering people to satisfy their selfish needs (knowingly or otherwise) to abuse children spiritually, physically, sexually, or emotionally?

i was wondering if this was true because some people had told me this...

scordare comes from ex- (out of) and cor, heart.. literally to expel something from the heart
whereas dimenticare comes from demens... expel something out of the mind.

which is for these two phrases:
non dimenticherò mai il mio primo amore
non scorderò mai il mio primo amore

i'm getting "i will never forget my first true love" tattooed in italian for my fiance. & if that is true i might as well go with scordero' for its orignial meaning.

An Oxford professor said that to believe the universe was created by chance is akin to believing that a tornado can go through a scrap yard and put together a boeing 747. And on every seat of the plane is a dictionary in a different language. Also there is fuel in the tank, and keys in the egnition. (all put together by the tornado)

how can you say the universe has no creator and keep a straight face?

Leviticus 22: 1-8
'If a descendant of Aaron has an infectious skin disease or a bodily discharge, he may not eat the sacred offerings until he is cleansed. He will also be unclean if he touches something defiled by a corpse or by anyone who has an emission of semen, or if he touches any crawling thing that makes him unclean, or any person who makes him unclean, whatever the uncleanness may be. The one who touches any such thing will be unclean till evening. He must not eat any of the sacred offerings unless he has bathed himself with water. When the sun goes down, he will be clean, and after that he may eat the sacred offerings, for they are his food. He must not eat anything found dead or torn by wild animals, and so become unclean through it. I am the LORD."

And don't even get me started on Leviticus 15!

Did people really turn into pillars of salt?

If so, why doesn't God punish people like that today to show us that He's real?

If not, than why can't evolution be true (because if people didn't literally turn into pillars of salt, then the world didn't have to literally take a week to be made).
