i have some basic french, not a helpful amount though, i couldn't survive with it. i have to move to paris soon because my dad has to move with his job.

how long will it take for me to understand everything that is said to me (even just the general point to what they are saying) anb speak a little. i'm worried that because so many people speak english in paris that when they see i don't speak french, they will speak english! how am i going to pick it up, by jut being there? (no classes)

i'm 16 by the way

I don't want any smart you know what answers. This is a ligitimate question. I want answers from people who actually think they have the answers.
We know for a fact that they were here and that they were top of the food chain...And yet... there is NO mention of any giant flying creatures or flesh ripping t-rexes.. NO MENTION of the creatures that were more plentiful than humans?!?!?! I am confused about this.

I know.. I am going to hell for ever questioning the bible... you dont have to warn me.. I already know.. LOL...and i guess because so many humans tell me this.. then it HAS to be true.. LOL!! I am not worried about my afterlife.. Just answer the question at hand... not where im gonna end up.

My boyfriend had 2 big dirty (he doesn't wash them) dogs. He gives them almost full reign of the house, except for the bedroom and kitchen. He finally gave into me and prohibited them from those 2 rooms because I kept complaining about the filth. His big dirty, stinky dogs basically live on his nice leather couches. They use to be light gray, now there gray with black streaks all over them. There is also dog **** on the couches. I haven't sat in the living room for over 4 months now. I don't understand why he won't let his dogs live outside in a nice dog house. Does anyone understand what i'm saying? Why are some peoples dogs more important than HUMANS to them?

What were your thoughts about Columbia asking him to speak, what did you feel about what he said and did you feel he prothletized alot? As a Christian, I would be hard pressed to find a Univ like Columbia that would invite a born again Christian who was prothletizing on stage. Do you feel it is a double standard? Not? Free speech to him as well? Thoughts?

I am posting in here because, Im most comfortable here, but also this kind of ties in with religion, I suppose.

Do you take the express line with more items than the limit? (And I'm not talking 12 items with a ten-item limit--I mean a whole basketful. Checkers almost never challenge these.)

Do you let people with one or two items go ahead of you when you have a full cart?

Do you return your shopping cart when you have unloaded it?

Are you courteous in the aisles?

Do you thank the baggers?

Is shopping usually a pleasurable experience for you and those who go with you?

First off, I commend you all for sticking to your guns. However, my preacher told me about some of the trials that God gives atheists, and I was thinking that it would be more convenient for you to convert to Christianity.

For example, my preacher told me that atheists can't go out in the sunlight or their skin will burn. Their skin will also burn if they touch a holy relic.

Atheists also can't eat garlic (no Italian food!) or drink holy water. Also, do you guys get surgery to hide your horns, or do you just wear hats everywhere?

Also, I hear that atheists can't eat fillet mignon because they'll die from a steak to the heart.

In light of all these difficulties, don't you think you'd be better off converting?

believe it or not, i'm not trolling. i honestly want to know. my ex-girlfriend was a half saudi arabian filipina, originally from mindanao, philippines. her father, a muslim, did not eat pork, but owned a hog farm in the philippines. i'm curious to know what muslims think of this. is it still against muslim law, since he didn't eat the stuff, or is it even worse, since he was contributing toward the consumption of pork products? thanks.

After reading all the questions and responses on here, it just seems that some people get so pissed so easily. Do people really live by the answers they recieve here? I honestly like to read the responses that answer a question but are also humerous at the same time. It gives a break from all the argueing.

Has the human species always had both males and females, or did the species, at some point reproduce asexually/some other way? If you think there hasn't always been both male and female, could you explain how it came to be that there are male and female today, and how it worked out they they can together reproduce?

Thank you in advance if you answer, I know it is an unusual question!

By accepting Jesus' death and allowing Him to enter our hearts; we become ' saved.' I prefer to say, " I've come into a personal relationship with Jesus." Being saved isn't a one-time experience. We need to walk daily with Jesus. Attending Mass often, gives us grace to stay close to Jesus. Partaking of the Eucharist, brings Jesus into the center of our very spirit and allows Him to reign within us, guiding us into a life centered in Him.

Truth is, WE ARE SAVED! The very blood that saved that man witnessing on the street is the same blood that has saved you and me! As Catholics we are Christians saved by the blood of Christ! You and I have been reborn by water and the Holy Spirit in baptism. We are fed with Christ's body and blood in the Eucharist. We receive the gift of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation. We are SAVED and don't let anyone try to tell you that you aren't!

This is what we believe in so how can you say Catholics are not saved?

Seriously, it seems to be the raison d'etre of most of them. I asked a question on Yahoo Answers recently, in which I specifically asked them not to bother replying (since they don't accept its premise), but loads of them did. If you press them, they'll claim that they live in a religion-dominated society that won't let them ignore it, that they wish they could. This is patent nonsense; our society is almost entirely secular, and any residual Christian trappings of public life are trivial and ceremonial. I suspect that, even if Christians hid in private chapels and churches, atheists would still obsess over them and seek them out. Richard Dawkins wanted to write The God Delusion for years. Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials is one of the bitterest tirades I've ever read; it has no ideas beyond hitting out at Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Carl Sagan's Cosmos, after all the soapsy-sudsy humanist rhetoric, ends with a rant against religion. Isn't their zeal rather question-begging?
