Society & Culture - 6 October 2007

Hello. I am a college student and I live in an intergenerational program, that is, I, and other college students, live with senior citizens. The director of the program seems to think that the hygienic issues around the house are not harmful to our health. One senior walks around with his waste on his pants, sitting from chair to chair in the dining room where we eat! Another one, never showers and walks in the kitchen with a foul odor and passes gas literally every step. And lastly, we the students are supposed to clean up after them, even though this is an independent living environment and some seniors should really be at nursing homes instead of here.

Is it hazardous to our health to clean fecal matter, human waste or be in an environment, especially where we eat, exposed to such terrible hygiene?

We all are having a meeting this coming Monday and I want to bring up this issue, because it is important to me.

Thank you for your time.

I have no problem with people who say "Religion is irrational but so what" that's fine...however the one's who try to say religious belief is rational are taking it too far aren't they?

I am not attempting to create an offensive post, but to have a serious discussion because we each seem to have our own set of ideas on the issue of "vulgarity" that are often unique to us. I'm just curious - in polite language not intended to offend - what your ideas and opinions are on what vulgar means, and what the most vulgar thing or things in the world are to you.

For me, vulgarity is anything which intends to exploit someone against their wishes (even if they begrudgingly agree or pretend to agree to it). The most vulgar thing in the world to me is getting people to do your own dirty work against their will - be it involving sex, theft, murder or anything - so that they have to suffer the consequences while you continue to look clean & innocent. There are people who get themselves into that situation, and that's not what I'm referring to - I'm referring to dragging innocent people into such situations when they weren't doing anything wrong to begin with

Comments welcomed

I am an Indian woman soon going to migrate with open work permit to Canada.
I learnt French in school for about 5 yrs, was pretty good at it.
however we were mostly taught grammar & written French not spoken French.
Will French knowledge help me in anyway, eg. for seeking employment or socially?
I f yes , do I have to pick up spoken French?

Ok, I am a Follower of Jesus Christ and I have been pondering this question because my guy friend asked me.
Where in the Bible (verses please) does it state that sleeping with a member of the opposite sex is wrong?? NOT having actually sex just sleeping next to each other (with clothes on)?

Also do consider it morally wrong to sleep next to someone due to religious beliefs?

A Christian WARNS you in love by explaining to you what sin is and what the inevitable consequences of your sins will be.
It is God who will condemn, judge, punish, and send you to hell.

A Christian simply acts as a messenger from God, delivering you His message of love, the Gospel of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ – through whom you may freely receive forgiveness of your sins and escape the condemnation, judgment, and punishment due you…and instead, be granted eternal life from Him.

And God is so loving, gracious, and merciful that He will not turn anybody away. All who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved. And it is offered to all who hear!

They who have ears, let them hear!

Can you now see that this is “Good News”…and not “Condemning News”?

I am thinking of setting up a charity. What happens is you sponser an Atheist or an Atheist family, they then get to migrate to Europe.

You support them financialy for a few years, and they write you letters thanking you for the support?

Help America!

Give me Money!

How much would you pay to get rid of Atheism in America?

god's the biggest egomaniac this world has ever seen. He constantly wants praise and acceptance.Apparently, we are his children, yet the love is conditional. There are constant promises of hell and suffering. Total disregard for lives of his "children", inaction - sounds like a bad parent. My question is - how can some of you still prey on this ****?

First read this completely...

I noticed there were very few "Christians" that replied and seem to have avoided the question completely...What is your arguments for justification against these claims. On the subject of not taxing the Church properties there are many great points to be brought up, for instance...The 15 Billion in funding needed to insure 4 million uninsured children (which was recently vetoed by Mr. Bush) could come directly from these dodged Church property taxes instead of a 60 cent tobacco tax increase (I am guessing his little Iraq civil war could be funded by this lack of taxed property as well) Before sending any answers please read the question from this link first...http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071006085437AAlYwgx&r=w#DrddMDL7DEH9MaxtFxVh

Thank you very much for your kindness and time.
