Society & Culture - 12 August 2007

Someday ago I was watching a program called "Baghdad E.R."
There the showed many young people from the military being hurt and killed. Some with their harm amputated or legs. When one of them died, they were praying. I said to myself, these people believe in God.

Those soldiers are the ones who fight for all of you, atheists and religious. I see atheists saying that religious are "fools" and are "brainwashed." How in you sane mind can you catalog your soldiers as "fool"?

When they are in problems, they pray, because they believe in a God. The are fighting while you are sitting in the front of your computer. You should think twice before offending people.
You accept it or not, religious people are moving this country. The majority, a big majority of people believe in some type of god. They pay taxes the way you do, they work the was you do, or you don't do, they study the way you do.

If you don't believe, just open your mind and shut you mouth.

why is it that when a person is interested in learning Catholicism, you discourage that person?

why don't you WAIT UNTIL YOUR OPINIONS ARE ASKED?

I'm really wondering.


this is a serious question, please no rude answer. thank you.


(maybe not all Protestants do this, but those who do, can you please answer the question? and PLEASE, NO BIBLE-QUOTING.)

let's say one man fought in a battle, and he was outnumbered.
everyone believed that he died.
but few months later, he came back.
he wasn't perfect, but he could move around with out problem.
he didn't get any huge medical assistance.

how could this happen?

Today, I was driving my car on the interstate(being a careful driver), I got clipped off by a driver. I saw it coming and avoided it by defensive maneuver. But that made me spin out of control(from one shoulder to another shoulder crossing 2 lanes of traffic) for few seconds and the whole event was in slow motion. The car vanished. I froze for atleast 10 minutes or so, and I regained my speech. (Thank God, I am okay)

After getting to my city, I came across three additional instances where I was almost run over. I was a driving a vehicle in my city. Is this coincidence or strange? I got a call from my friends that a long time friend(who I haven't heard from) got into a motorcycle accident. He has multiple fractures on his left leg.

What do you think of this? Any suggestions? words of wisdom? About rules, filing complaints, etc(Oh nothing happened to me at all)

On behalf of all Muslims, I would like to say that Islam teaches us to love everyone despite any religious/racial differences. I know that because of all the recent events, everyone has become a bit distant from us, and misunderstands Islam and Muslims. But what you see in the Media is not the true Islam. What you see happening in the Middle east is culture, not Islam.

So will you take this moment to share in some tolerance with me? Would you take the time to learn Islam?

Also, I would like to apologize to anyone who has ever been personally offended by a Muslim. I am always discriminated,but I keep in mind that no one is the same.. and generalizing is not the answer.

Think about it, is it fair to blame 1.6 million Muslims for the hypocritical few?

Peace&Love

Personally I have found my observation of gay men to be 100% true. One physical characteristic I have found in gay men are that their shoulders arn't broad and tend to slope diagonally. This is true in all openly gay men. Type in a famous gay man into google images and you will see what I mean e.g the gay guy off Will and Grace!

I've also heard that gay men develope female features, such as big lips full of oestrogen and not a very strong jaw line ( a sign of testosterone)

My question is do you think my theories are correct and have you noticed any other characteristics. I'm not generalising I know that not all gay people have these characteristics and I'm not homophobic in the slightest. Just want to hear your opinions!

I have just had an email from one of my very dear Christian friends
she is very upset at the moment with all the bashing that goes on here ( I am not going to name names )
can I ask you guys to take a moment and think about the amazing Christians who frequent these boards and how you think they feel when you ( their friends , which I know some of you are ) say these hurtful things about their religion

I say this because I know this person is also very dear to some of you guys
we often bash something as a whole , forgetting that there are people we love on the recieving end
and to make this fair , I was very one sided in my last question asking Christians to be more tolerant towards you guys

you know me , I am just sitting here trying to bring peace everywhere
because all this stuff breaks my heart
(((((HUGS))))))
thoughts please ?

I was changing the water cooler at work and my co-worker offered to help me. I said, "I'm fine but thank you." He got mad and said "well fine then" in a not so nice voice. I'm perfectly capable of lifting and changing the water so I didn't need help. Did I do something wrong?
