Society & Culture - 13 October 2007

It may be a form of trolling (and we know what Y!A community guidelines say about that), but I want to know what you think about it.

Isn't parody a legitimate form of expression? Can't satire make a point, and isn't it good comic relief?

Or do you find it offensive and juvenile?

Please explain your answer.

I'm trying to organise a specific kind of Community event and was hoping there's one word that describes it.

I've seen documentation of one form of 50's UK Coronation event when everyone brings a table/chairs & potluck meal into the street for a community meal.

(just as a recent reference - & for any Dr Who fans it was what was being set up at the end of "The Idiot's Lantern")

Just looking for something that describes the combining of tables/chairs/potluck & community into one or two words.

Thanks in advance.

Since god created everything and we are his children, than wouldn't that technically make it a mother.

Disabled Citizens often live on very limited income, and those who do have a disability pension often spend a great deal of money on medical expenses, prescription drugs, and care giving. So I do not understand why the disabled are not given same the consideration that Senior Citizens are given.

In a congregational prayer is it required to prayer towards Qibla or is it ok to ignore? I say it should be observed, but I'm not a scholar, that's why I'm asking. . . Thank you. Jezak Allah khairan.

I see a Bull Fighting category off to the right of my screen. I clicked on it and no questions are there. So, I tried to ask a question and was unable to. Am I delusional? Is it just me or do other people see this Bull Fighting category?

we dont even know how long Adam was without an Eve and only cavorting with Jehovah privately and intimately just the two of them in the Garden
Isnt it possible that it could have been aeons
and that Eve and her apple eating and the downfall contractions of our present civilization cultural situation is the reason that the Jehovah God is a Jealous God
that we chose this and dieing to go to some other Heaven rather than having man live in Eden with it's Creator?

I am making a clear distinguishment between BELIEVING a god exists and WANTING one to exist. I simply DON'T want a God to exist, I believe it makes everything much more simple. I am not sure I want to be a robot and eternally worship a god who I don't know exists. Heck, I am not even sure I share his values. I don't think it's cool to send bears to kill children for laughing at a prophet, or to kill people for violating the sabbath.

Anyway, I don't see what I would be doing for "all eternity."

What do you you think?

What is that I hear? Free will. Well that seems to be the answer for everything. Are you trying to tell me that God could not create us with free will and at the same time protect kids from getting molested and abused. Hell he would not even have to protect kids from getting abused if he desiged us different.

If the answer is free will then perhaps God is not All powerful? Because you are saying that free will causes child suffering and God can do nothing about it. If you still contend that he is all powerful,w well then perhaps God is not All good? How can an all good being sit back and watch kids be tortured.

God of love? What a joke!

I am not depressed and I'm not going to commit suicide. I just want to get your feedback on this. We live in an unfair dog-eat-dog world. Too much happens in too little a time. We don't even know a God exists. Is it worth fighting to be successful and stay alive everyday? What do we get out of it? Eventually we all rot...

Why does Yahoo take off questions that paints them in a negative light? Is this Nazi Germany or what? I thought we had freedom of speech. Shame on you Yahoo shame on you!

One time a couple of teenagers got mad at us because we didn't gave out any candy on Halloween because my family and I didnt celebrate or believe in it. So, they decided to take the air out out of car tires. When they saw my dad look out the window, they quickly walked away, but didnt get a chance to do it, but we found our tire caps lying on the ground though. I also heard some people put toilet paper on people's houses and stuff, how retarded.

Question: Is islam a peaceful religion?
Question Details: peaceful=how people interpret it. And please, for those answering, no death threats to others, keep this civil.
Deleted Answer: No. Listen to what a former Muslim has to say about Islam...Saleem says don't buy everything you hear about Islam these days. "Muslims will say 'We're a people of peace -- we worship the same God,'" He said. But what they're really taught is "that Jews are pigs and monkeys. Jews they must be killed. 'The rock will cry out "there's a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him,"' Saleem said. http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/245934.aspx All you have to do is open your eyes and look around to see that Islam is very violent.
