If you could clear up one misconception, what would it be? I am hoping to expand a few minds here. Thanks for sharing.

When I was a little girl about 7 yrs old I saw this thing that looked like the Pillsbury doe boy except it had no facial features like eyes, ears, nose, or mouth & it was walking on my wallpaper, my husband said he used to see the same thing on into his mid-twenties his would sometimes be different shapes & sizes but basically the same thing I just described. I know this sounds funny but this is actually a serious question, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this thing was?

Wow whether you like him or not he does really expose the healthcare system in America and pulls no punches. It will leave you appauled and mad at our country. Man other countries are so ahead of us it's sad.

I work as a firefighter and I am constantly amazed at some of the calls we go on, some people's lack of common sense is truly astounding.
If you think that it is, Why is it?
My theory is that the media so capitalizes on tragedy that everyone is so scared of everything they can't think for themselves.
Your thoughts....

Is it really necessary to be so mean to the people who have REAL questions and need REAL answers? If you don't want to waste your time with the question or think something is dumb, then don't answer the damn question. I'm sure whomever is asking the question could do without your rude input. Or are your lives just so crappy that you have to make other people feel bad about themselves so you can feel good?? Just wondering.

Ok my Mom is 60 years old and does some chores around my cousins house when they are on vacation. She takes care of pool, gets mail, and takes care of the fish pond. Well she did this for 2 weeks. When they got back they didn't even offer her any money or a tshirt. Not that my Mom expects anything but it;s common courtesy you think?

I signed up for the RCIA courses that begin in September to do my Communion and Confirmation and to convert to being a Roman Catholic and I am curious about certain things such as what version of the bible Catholics read and if they hand out bibles for people such as myself to read and take home to keep? Or do I have to buy a Catholic bible on my own? If so what version do I look out for? Also during the RCIA courses do they give anything out to the students of the course such as rosaries or anything else? I was asking about the courses but the nun didn't get into specifics with me. What do I expect? This is a serious question and I need some serious and helpful answers. Please don't answer if you're not gonna help.

How do we deal with these problems. Top notch education is only available to white people with money. All minorities are left with horrible quality public schools. Without an education we cannot find high paying jobs... So why shouldn't there be equal educational opportunities for all? Why can't I attend a university? I want to...BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM, I don't have the cash or the time to do so.

It is impossible for a black man to be successful in today's society. Discrimination is rampant and white people don't understand. There is a glass ceiling in the corporate world for women and minorities.

Next time a white male brags about his accomplishments, point out how easy it is for them to make it anywhere and how hard it is for you to work two jobs and raise two young children in my early twenties... Tell them that I deserve more than they ever will. They will never know what it's like... Agree?

why are the people who "believe" in global warming usually not Christians? IMHO, there is more to believe in the Bible than there is in ANY report from the U.N. on global warming. These weather "models" can be tuned to tell them WHATEVER they want the models to tell them about weather in the future.

Christians, if you ever left the Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christian Science, 7th Day Adventists, Church of Scientology, Wicca, etc...... were you persecuted by those you left behind?

I am sincerely trying to learn more about all groups. I have studied with Witnesses in the past (for about a year), but many here know nothing of your beliefs. Please tell us why you are a Witness and what keeps you a Witness.

I know that the Mormon church was founded on adultery (polygamy) and the FLDS still do it. But is there a sect of Mormons that condemn Brigham Young as a sinner and understand that adultery is wrong.

With marriage being between a man and a woman any fake marriage after that would be bigamy and adultery.

We are throwing a birthday party for our 5 year old. She wants to invite her whole pre-school class. After talking to parents of some of her friends who's children did the same thing, said that a lot of people don't show because they don't want to spend money on a present and don't feel its appropriate to show up empty handed. So I thought about putting something on the invitation that she just wants her friends from school to come and play, have cake etc. That they don't need to bring presents, any suggestions?
