My friends and I decided to be the the brides of Dracula. I like some of the costumes I've on halloweenexpress.com but not really satisfied. Where else can I look for a costume and I live in Houston, TX so are there any stores here you recommend?

I looked at some pictures from movies like Van Helsing and Dracula....and they seem to be wearing "goddess" like dresses.

My religious questions keep on getting removed. And I have seen questions that are ALOT worse. Like ones asking how to kill Jews that are still in the USA. they are STILL on yahoo answers!!!! Is it because I am agnostic and someone is upset and flagging all my answers EVEN nonreligious ones. Or is Yahoo! Answers employees are utterly religious? I'M PISSED. FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

I just saw a question on here from the church folks that jogged another question for me. They asked if any atheists are afraid of believing in god, cause they might be called stupid.

So I make a somewhat converse query.

Do you sit in church on occasion, hearing the preacher spout nonsense --

And are you afraid to stand up and say "Brothers and Sisters, the Bible god was invented by that pervert Moses and his syphilitic half-borther Aaron (not to mention their hunchback one-tooth sister Myriam)!"?

I work at a provincial college in Canada. Of all my colleagues, only two of us are not native English speakers. Today, when I tried to speak Chinese with the other colleague, my program head asked me to his office and told me that I must not speak unofficial languages at work. Does he has to the right to do so?

If you are in love with only one person, and have been for a very long time, at that time is sex or love making okay?

Would it help if I said that several people have seen me do it? (You can't interrogate them)

What if, instead, I told you that there were many people who saw a man levitate about ten years ago? Is this believable?

I don't get it all all. I've seen several responses to this Vick case saying that he shouldn't really be punished very much because animals aren't as important as human beings. What the heck? Who cares if they aren't as important-you think a monetary fine is acceptable for torturing, maiming, and killing any creature is acceptable? I believe that any human who can cruelly torture any creature (especially if you believe god created everything) deserves to be punished-not slapped on the wrist and patted on the head.
What do you think? Is it very christian to torture and abuse? I thought all sins were the same-so how can you poo-poo this issue and then get all up in arms about someone being gay?

every lutheren thinks that the jews, mormans, jehovah witness's, muslims, and satan cults are absolutely crazy. Every jew thinks the rest are crazy and made up, and so on and so on. When will they all realize they are living a delusion?

If 1,000 religions were lined up, and an unbiased spectator approached them...What, if anything, would make yours stand out?

((Please refrain from "It's the truth!"))

Hell is a hugely unpopular subject, yet Jesus talked about it. Whatever happend to hell? Has it disappeared? Or are we simply unable to defend this Biblical doctrine?

Here's mine, tell me if you agree or not:
I believe it's deeper than just saying don't tell lies. I believe we need to white lie now and then to not hurt others. So this meaning is that we must face the truth about ourselves. We can't deny reality by saying how pretending to be goody person but when no one is looking we do the bad. So the meaning is reference to ourselves not so much lieing to others. Right? In other words, stop being a hypocrite.

I got a response from someone that criticized my question....saying I should worry less about this, and I should be doing that. And I was in the entertainment section! How do you deal with idiots like that?

Could someone please give me more information
AND provide links/resources about the "Duty to God" awards in B.S.A.?

I could not find anything online, or much in the Scout Handbook. I need the information ASAP. I am going to put together a presentation and information booth at a local multi-cultural event.

Thanx in advance!

I always tip about 20%. But the only thing I don't get is this. Say I order a 10 oz Ribeye, and my wife orders the same. We both get water to drink. So, the total bill is say...$29.00. I would usually tip $5 (17%).We come back the next week, and order 16 oz Ribeyes, and we get tea to drink this time. So now the bill is $40.00. It shouldn't take any more effort to pour tea instead of water, or bring out a different cut of steak should it? The service is exactly the same, but now 17% of $40 is $7! Unless the service was just mindblowing, I'd probably still give $5. Am I wrong for that? I just don't understand why I should pay 2-3 dollars more of a tip for basically the exact same food, and the exact same service just because i chose to get a better quality steak. But, if I go out to eat by myself for lunch, and get something thats like $7.99 plus a water...which means the total bill will be $8.70, I'll still give $2-3 tip. That is a 25-35% tip. What do you think about it?

Just back from day out in car. Does this happen to you?


folk pull out in front of you without looking

Narrow roads like high up and windy car comes the other way you end up nearly over the edge of a cliff as the oncoming vehicle won`t slow down

folk don`t give way at roundabouts

We are not Sunday drivers we just have respect for other road users!
