Society & Culture - 26 August 2007

I was baptised a Catholic, made my first Holy Communion, Confimed and married all on the same day in the same Church, my Grand father was my Godfather, my sponsor and gave me away.

Do you know if any one has done the same thing or something similiar, please share?

Why don't gay people place more emphasis on WHO they are as a person rather than their sexual orientation? We are all human beings and we're not going to be liked by everyone. Most all people are bullied for one reason or another. A TRUE friend will accept you or like you for who you are NOT what you are. Has anyone ever told you they like you only because of your orientation? Wouldn't it be more important to worry about who you are and not what you are?

I read this Quote, what do you think?
"Civilized people do not put children to death for what their fathers have done. Yet aborting a child conceived by rape is doing that exact thing"

There is only a 3% pregnacy rate of rape victims, so this is not really a overwhelming problem....but,
I thought what if there where famous people concieved from rape and they had been aborted?
Here are some I found:

Faith Daniels -- talk show host
of the TV show Dateline, A
Closer Look, and Today (among
others). She describes coming
to terms with the fact that her
conception resulted from rape in
a People Magazine article.

Fredrick Douglass -- former
slave and abolitionist. He details
his conception by rape in his
writing, Narrative of the Life of
Fredrick Douglass, available

Jesse Jackson -- Reverend
whose mother was 16 when he
was conceived and whose father
was a 30-year old next door
neighbor who was already
married

"The mass-market American "Cinderellas" have presented the majority of American children with the wrong dream. They offer the passive princess, the "insipid beauty waiting... for Prince Charming" the Rosemary Minard objects to, and thus accuturate millions of girls and boys. But it is the wrong Cinderella and the magic of the old tales has been falsified, the true meaning lost, perhaps forever."
-Jane Yolen

Are you going to observe the holiday? Will you use pirate jargon all day, even while working? Will you only do it on the internet? Do you think you'll forget about it completely?

Pagan according to most dictionaries means any religion that is not Christianity, Judaism, or Islam. It therefore covers hundreds of religions including Hinduism, Buddhism, and many others. Yet many neo-pagans seem to use it as if it meant one big religion.

Going back to school is such a drag. I'm taping a calendar on top of my binder for my AP class and crossing off each day. It makes me feel like I'm moving forward. Like some progress is being made, and I can count down all 180 days. I just don't want this summer to come to an end...

Why do the Jehova witness call "GOD" Jehova, I don't understand, does it say anywhere in the scriptures , or did they just come up with a name?

since gays can't legally marry in the US, do you still value marriage or have you found other ways to validate your relationship? do you think that a recognized marriage is the "brass ring"?

Ask them a question & they reply with meaningless scripture or another question. They seem closed minded & are blindly lead. They will believe a stranger before believing or trusting family. They do not believe in Science. They actually think that Bush is good for our country. Someone that lied to us, exploited the Christian trust for personal gain & someone that steals with help from his brother.
Why can't they say they could be wrong? ... once in a while?
