go to the gay grocery store, (live in the suburbs, so not gay)

clean my gay house, (well it is decorated nice...so maybe gay)

read a little in my gay book, (no, it's about civil rights for blacks)

and then call it an evening in my gay bed.(I share it with a guy, so o.k., maybe gay)

tomorrow
I will go to my gay gym, (nope, it's straight)

lay by the gay pool, (nope neighborhood pool, in suburbs)

fix a gay dinner, (mmm, I am a good cook, so maybe a little gay)

I just went to my college orientation, and the counselors made up this rule that whenever they shout "Go!" everyone has to run, and whoever gets into a room last has to do a dare. Once I was last, and they said I had to sing I'm a little teapot lol in front of everyone. When I got up, there was like 40 strangers there and for some reason, my jaw just started shaking SO bad I couldn't talk. It was REALLY weird, it was like my face was shaking so badly I couldn't even smile. The counselors finally sang for me and said I didn't have to do it. I'm mortified when I think of it, I bet everyone thinks I'm a freak. Is there any way I can deal with this? I mean sometimes my hands shake when I'm nervous, but not like my face...it happens when I feel everyone's eyes on me (it happened like 3 times during orientation).

How do you think Mary felt having had no consent over becoming pregnant?

Also, I understand that Christians see God as perfect and all-powering, but what gives Him the right to force a child onto a woman who has no consent? I only say "force" as she had no say in the matter until it was irreversable.

Evolutionists point to a few transitional animal forms that they believe show the evolutionary transition in the fossil record. However, such intermediates are often speculative and much disputed, even among evolutionists themselves. For example, one commonly used transitional form is the Amubulocetus natans (walking whale that swims) discovered recently. It is believed that whales evolved from some form of land mammal, and the the A. natans is transitional between the two, with halfway stuctures between land mammal and the whale. But when fossil drawings of A. natans are compared with actual bones found, it is realized that the critical skeletal elements necessary to establish the transition from non-swimming land mammal to whale are missing! Stay tuned to my next question continuing this.............

well..not that i wanna do it or anything..but i was talking to some buddies, and a discussion came along about pantie sniffing..sisters..and mothers..and cousins and stuff..just some weird a*s sh*t.. and then somewhere down the road..we stared talking about incest..and how its wrong..and i decided to look it up on the internet..and im surprised at how many people on the internet do practice incest..they say incest is not wrong if its not forced..but if both people agree to it..and want it..and they are over the age of 18..and you do it safely..and nobody gets pregnant..then it is good..is that true?..they even made a good point..and said that you cant catch AIDS/HIV or STDs if you have incest..cause if its with strangers..then you can easily catch it..

thinking back on it..i think im convinced..incest can be good..and everyone on the internet says that it makes the relationship stronger..and it enhances the relationship and the bond between the two people..someone unconvince me..NOW

Why you think your race is better than another. I won't agree, but I'd genuinely like to know the motivation behind the hatred. I've heard the "intimidation" and "Fear of difference" theories before. But for people to be THIS passionate about their hatred, there has to be a more significant underlying purpose.

I have an old knee injury that flares up every now and then, and as a waitress, it happens alot. I recently called into work saying I could not work, and I got treated very rudely. I came in with a doctors not, and I got more rudeness. I went in today to get next weeks schedule, and to find out if there was anyway I could not work tomorrow as scheduled, and once again I got treated unfairly. All this rudeness is from one manager, and she's just the assistant manager. What actions should I take? Should I quit and get on welfare (HAHA)? Just call in tomorrow? Call corprate or talk to another manager?

Not according to my biology professor and my psych professor. They say we should never say a study/experiment has proven something because experiments just support theories/hypotheses and not prove them.

My Bio-prof said science is always self correcting, always revising what they had found, making it more precise or even disproving itself. He said that you can never have an absolute truth except in math(2+2=7...I mean 4...) than you can only have an approximate truth.

Just thought I would share his point of view on the word prove...what do you think about it?

Now notice I said many, not all. Some can make some really great debates. But I have noticed, that in a lot of cases a non-believer will make an absurd commit/question and when you clearly prove them wrong and lay the truth out to where even a blind person could see, the get mad and block you from answering their other “questions”. Why would anyone do this? I could understand if the response was vulgar, outright rude, nasty or such, but to get so upset over the truth and hard facts that cannot be denied? Isn’t that childish?

He gave me some great info that can kind of support creation...

The universe is 13 billion years old...
The sun is 5 billion
Earth 4.5
Life 3.9

Well first lets pretend God is real...so He HAD to have existed before the beginning of the stars and planets...so say sometime in 8 billion years God came to be(somehow) He created the Heavens and the earth...(Sun and planets within .5 billion years of each other) and after the earth He created humans 5 days later(on the 6th day).

So take the time between the between the creation of the world and the creation of man...6 days(total) and how many years is between the creation of the earth/life according to my bio professor? .6 billion years or 600 million years...not 6k years...but 6 is in there lol.

Anyway, just thought that was interesting...did you?

I'll let you answer as you see fit. However, you must know that it is impossible without being pre-ordained by God. I.e. you will not be going to eternal LIFE unless God has written your name in the Lamb's book of life (i.e. Jesus'). Now, no body but God knows who is in there..so there's still a chance for you..if you accept by faith that Jesus is your savior. Read the bible starting with John and then move on to Romans and Ephesians.

Yea..yeah..I know you pagans and mockers will scoff at this post..go ahead and scoff..your destruction is nigh..dudes!

Last night I've seen an old acquaintence of mine from high school and when I was talking to him he was looking away from me and started talking to his other friends right when I was right in the middle of talking to him, plus he was acting kind of snobby and full of himself towards me.

All three of these religions follow the same God, and adhire to the same basic commandments etc - plus or minus one book.

Why can these religions accept the BIG similarities they have and forget about the petty things like - parables and lore?
