I just got a call from my sister today. My mom is in the ICU after surgery, unresponsive and may not survive (she's a Christian). She lives about 19 hours away by car (no nearby airports). It makes me realize how special our time is with our parents.

So, if you knew that the next conversation you would have with your mom would be your last, what would you say to her?

And if your mom is fine, if you knew this was your last time with her would you treat her differently?

Minority means of no significance or importance. If you are not white, then this is the nick name you are given. I am personally offended by it, but I was curious of what everyone else thought. (I am not a racist, I am for the betterment of humanity.)

What do you want the leader of the catholic church to say?

A lot of the protestants are getting all huffy over this (and he didnt say you cant go to heaven) and being pissy. Well guess what? A lot of you say the same thing. Of course the Pope isnt going to say 'our religion is a lie, lets follow it anyway' do you really expect that?

Im going to take the atheists side on this and laugh, care to join me?

Ok does anyone feel like straight people think that being gay is just about having gay sex? like it seems to me that they dont realize that gay people really do LOVE the people they are with, not just in love with their body parts..

God doesn't send mentally challenged kids to hell. why? obviously, their mind can't comprehend the ideas behind christianity, islam, or whichever religion is right. lol.

what about others who can't find the benefits of accepting god? apparently their minds are not designed in such a manner necessary to find religion appealing.

these two examples are very much the same.

i know. free will. lol

You remember, the days when we played the drinking game, when we had our "get to know your neighbor" nights, the theme days, online weddings, et al... do you miss them?

If god exists, the laws of nature we can observe in the wild are the governing. They give equal opportunity to all creatures to survive. But some of these religions advocate Muslims or Christians or Jews are the most preferred beings for THE GOD. Rest of the creatures and nature is made for their consumption.

How many of you defy such currupt religious practices?

Just wondering where everyone is from that is browsing R&S right now - me, I'm in Michigan USA. Where are you - and what time is it where you are? (5:55 pm here)

PS - expecting the regulation number of smart-aleck answers - thanks in advance to all from Mars, Venus, Pluto and the Galaxy far-far-away where it's probably "beer-thirty o'clock", Miller time, time'sa-wastin', and other silly allusions =:D

If you are trying to get soemone to look at someone by saying: "That black guy" or "that asian guy over there," is that racist?

I mean, pointing out skin color just might be another way of describing someone, maybe?

she accuses me of leaving equipment at clients house when its both our responsabilities. Monday she accused me hacking into the school website to get her 10 yr old daughters information. I have no user id or password to do that im not a school employee. All i did was ask her if she wanted the school supply list printed off the school website. well after all the abuse i kicked her out of my car . I give her rides to work, rides to get her kids, rides home and she hasnt given me gas money in 2 months. Its policy you have to have a car to work for this company and she doesnt have one so she mooches off of me. Was I wrong for doing this? And I am more than likely going to see her at work tomorrow since we work together. She also has scratched and dented my new car loading equipment into it
