Society & Culture - 14 October 2007

Hello. I'm interested in and am doing research on German youth, street and college slang for a project. :D

I'd like to know what are German slang terms and expressions for:

physically-strong female

besides

amazone
bomber
Langeweile

that have a positive connotation?

Please let me know and please list as many German slang terms and expressions as possible. Thank you. :D

Science is pushing some amazing concepts. Is it providing a better answer or does religion still have the dominion of God.

Hi, I'm twenty years old and I have just given myself over to Judisim full heartedly. I was told by my older brother, who also converted long before me that wearing a yamaka is a sign of honoring god and humility, thus you can(should) wear it all the time.

Recently a lady came into the place where I worked and said she lived in a jewish community, and wearing a yamaka, or Kippa while working was disrespectful as it was not a place of worship. Is this true? I am still new to this and the last thing I want to do is offend someone. If so (or even if not) When should I not wear a Yamaka?

I have been really jealous of my boyfriend's past relationships. One girl he told me was obsessed with and he spent over $400 on her for prom. He told me it was nothing at all, and he only had a crush on her, but she never dated him. He said he thought she was kinda pretty, but she and I didn't even compare. That he had low standards and he thought she was the best that he could ever do. He said he thought that I was out of his league. He said that he thought she was "average," and that looks were never that important to him, but he also told me he just wanted to get into someone's pants and it didn't matter who. He never did get in her pants or anything, he said at the time he wanted to. He was kinda a dork in high school so no girls ever liked him, and she was nice to him, but toyed with him it sounded like. He said that one of his friends called her fugly. He told me that it was lust, and that he really doesn't think she's pretty at all. What do you think it honestly was?

Hi everyone I am doing a research paper on the influence of religion and I would like to make contact with the Jehovahs witnesses In New York as this is their head office. Does anyone know the email address or how to make DIRECT contact with these people?

1st:Just because someone is nice to the people around them, doesn't mean that they are a good person. Even a person who donates all their time to charity, can be a bad person. Having people who know you tell you that you are a good person doesn't necessarily qualify either?

2nd: Just because you feel good for doing something, that doesn't mean that you did a good thing. Just because you feel bad about doing something doesn't mean you did something bad.

What say you ?

I'm not saying morals, but things like prayer and that there are higher powers or forces.
Not a God as any religion sees it but spiritual concepts.

Does this make the term defunct?

Hello everyone.

English is my second language so when I came across this term it sounded sorta confusing. A quick google search would get you results like 'Color Me Kubrick' (movie), color me beautiful, color me frog or color me egypt. And I was wondering

A) what it meant and
B) how it's used

because I can't really see a pattern here.


Any detailed explanation (including origins) is much appreciated

Thanks
Sam

I was just outside the main door where it says "THE HOUSE OF THE LORD..." I was probably 3-4. My parents were sealed there before I was born, and I assume they had Temple reccomends. But was I in the Temple? Are children allowed inside? I had not yet been baptized, and was wearing "street clothes"

Thanks!!

It's the hottest rage in the word today. Will the LDS church decide to reinstitute it, now that it might attract more new members?

Atheists are just people - and this is a public forum. People of ALL beliefs and lack of can go anywhere they want on the internet. The "Religion and Spirituality" section of yahoo answers is part of the internet, and all are welcome to be here.

And, anyway, why would anyone who's NOT atheist claim to be one? How could ALL who claim to be atheists on R & S not be atheists? Did they all get together to do this for as long as R & S has been up? To mess with other theists' minds? Is it impossible for any "real" atheist to be at R & S?

My mom and I are very close and even though I no longer live with her we are still close. I'm 17 and free . Anyways I have really wanted to go on missions trips, but every time I talk to my mom about it she says she doesn't want me going. I told her that I have a longing to get involved and help and she says that anyone with a heart would. She tells me that until I have the holy spirit that I should just forget about it. That would mean (according to her) that I could speak in tongues. She told me when I could do that than she would send me off with her blessing. My question is would it be dishonoring her if I with anyways and please explain your answers thank you. God bless!

Some people have told me that Halloween is the devil's holiday, most of these people were part of some Christian group (Catholicism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.). To them, dressing up in a costume or giving out candy on Halloween is completely wrong, along with watching scary movies and carving pumpkins.
