What websites can I go to? I'm not talking about LEARN FRENCH IN YOUR CAR. I mean I want to teach myself French, Farsi, Italian, German, Japanese, & Sign Language, using the textbooks that colleges use. Do you know of any sites other than amazon.com, half.com, campus-i.com?

Клип делала очень давно. Песня на узбекском языке. Красивая и грустная. Клип, собственно, тоже не особо веселый.

I have often wondered this. In the West generally, people don't seem to be overly religious and you often hear about church attendance falling. People describe themselves as being Christian but I wonder if they know what it really means (I'm not a religious person by any means by the way).

In the USA it seems different. The media would have you believe that it is a very religious country. Very patriotic as well which is another point : in the West generally, patriotism seems to be "incidental" but not in the USA.

Any (rational) thoughts?

I know 9/11 was a little shocking 4 u white people. but with all the atrocities committed by u christians on muslims over so many decades. dont you agree u got of very lightly with the attack on 9/11 and rather than be full of hate and anger u should let it go. after all hanging onto these emotions can't be good 4 u. on behalf of all muslims we are willing to forgive u christians, as long as you do as u do as u are told.

I am a classical historian, so admittedly my knowledge base is limited on the rise of Islam. However, it seems to me that after Muhammed the Arab world became the most cosmopolitian, well-educated, humanitarian, accepting, artistic, and innovative people of the middle ages (in western history). Islamic heros like the Prophet and Saladin made the European Christians look... well a lot like the Islamic world looks today. Please do not try to rationalize the acts and attitudes of the current Islamic world. Intent is meaningless, perception is everything.
I simply want to know how the Islamic world went from the most civilized to the most intolerant, backwards, uneducated, neolithic culture on the planet. No matter how blind you may be, it is undeniable that the middle east was better off under its heroes.

Leave your venom in you fangs, this is how I see the Muslim world because this is what it portrays, I am simply looking for some honest insight into Islam's fall from grace.

At its most fundamental core, a religion is a pathway to god. The purpose of every religion is to guide man in the right direction, educate him so that he is able to adopt the correct culture, lifestyle and mentality which is needed to connect to the divine creator, as well as to personification of God and spread godliness, virtue and love in the world.

Each and every religion is holy, sacred and must be respected because god is in every religion and every religion is in god. Islam and Christianity have been antithetical to the fundamental concept of religion. By marketing their religions like it is a business product and begging for recruits, they are disrespecting the sanctity of religion and they are making religion appear to be cheap.

Disclaimer: This question seems to be a mockery on the surface, and while I admit that I did chuckle at the sight of my final wording for it, I really do wonder what kind of consensus there is on this subject.

Please answer the Title question with a choice from below, and answer the JS sub-question in your own words, if you'd like. Thanks!

A) One (as it says in the BoM)
B) Two, plus a Spirit, who is not yet a God, since he has not yet passed through mortality and been exalted (as in Gospel Doctrine Manual)
C) Three (as Joseph Smith taught)
D) Seven; the Three above, plus Adam (per Brigham Young), Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (per Joseph F. Smith in D&C 138)
E) Countless (as in D&C 132)

If you became an atheist (just pretend, imagine, speculate, whatever) would you be in danger by your community, or how would your family and friends react?

What would change in your life?

Religion are spread in the world by different people.

Language is the tool for communication.

We require different language to promote our product, technique, knowledge or skill to sell into the global market.

Different race/people has different talent or language. It is vital to train & motivate the right candidate for the right tusk. Avoid to put fishes & birds in the flying race. Our fishes are talented in swimming. Our single are earning performance money from the other country. All of them are a team of nation with different talent to trade.

To have many University set up in the country, University of Malay language, Indian language, English, Chinese, medical singing & etc. This enhance & equip the nation with skill, technique, knowledge, languages & etc to compete in the global market.

This will encourage people at different corner to learn in Malaysia to improve Malaysia economically & global status.

..the McCanns, allow their daughter to be taken and suffer as she and they must have done?
What sort of god is it, she or he?
If they do believe, why have they been forsaken by this so-called caring god?
No bible quotes, as those quotes are merely unproven statements by people who only THOUGHT they knew the answer.

Why do people act like being gay is a disease! Some one said "If we let them get married there going to make us gay!"

Don't be dumb, being gay is NOT a disease and gays are not going to force you to become gay! So I don't get your problem! And love is not just about a family! 1)the earth is overcrowded so having less kids helps,unless your a women and want to get pregnant 2)without love you don't have a marriage 3) stop making ridiculous metaphors about gays! Like being gay is like pretending a horse is a cow! Because that makes no sense! Marriage is about love, and when your in love your mature enough to handle it! Just because a child thinks there in love does not mean there in love! And Stop making metaphors like that too! So to my question, why do people think being gay is like a disease???
