Everytime I watch the news or some American talk show a comment such as 'we are Americans how can this happen to us' is said.. or something along those lines.. What is so special about Americans? The rest of the world (may be a surprise to some) are human as well.

i claim i'm agnostic, because it seems to be the least hypocritical religion..but there are some things i dont necessarily agree with. my belief is basically that "we wont ever know the truth, so why bother trying to follow rules by some ruler known as God that no one knows even exists? just live life and have fun." i dont necessarily believe in just science, i think there is some kind of 4D thing we cant comprehend....so is there a title for that?

I believe that being a "Christian" is a way of life based on the teachings of Christ. To strive to be "Christ Like", having faith in the word, knowing and believing that Christ is the Son of God who died and rose for my sins, to have no other God before Him and to love my neighbor as I love myself. If that's being a Christian why are there so many other denominations that call themselves "Christians" slash ________?
I question this because of the answers from my last post:http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ai4eocGfYrzW8fZpRUGEs0zsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071014215354AAepdLs

I know some German but my problem is, I need to know how to say I speak some german. I know how to say Ich spreche Deutsch but that's not true in my case because I'm not totally fluent yet. I have been saying Ich spreche klein Deutsch which isn't proper and I need to know the proper way of saying I only speak a little German or only know a little German whichever would be a good way of getting the point across that I'm not totally fluent and only know some German.

I'm not racist or anything, but I remember telling a lot of " Afircan Americans' that they are from Africa and they deny it and get angry. So if they don't want to get involved with Africa they shouldn't be called african americans then, and the only suitable name for them is black american

Hello, I have a quick question on the Dead Sea Scrolls and their relation to the Septuigant and the Masoretic Text.

Do the Dead Sea Scrolls agree more the the Masoretic Text (Hebrew Text) or the Septuigant(greek translation)? I have heard that the DSS has more similarities to the Masoretic text, but am not sure if that is right.

Thanks, ahead of time!

I would like to know because I was asked this question by a group of Chinese students, and could only come up with a few examples in spelling (the English use "s" instead of "z" or "c" for the "s" sound), and the accent.

Can anyone come up with anything else? I know there are some smart people out there. :)

Thank you.

Ok well i have blonde hair, and a lot of peoples 1st impression of me is that i am stupid. I dont act dumb or anything for them to make this assumption. I do have common sense, but so many people on these yahoo answers (mostly brunnette people, im not trying to stereotype here but its often true) consider themselves smart because of their hair color! are you kidding? how many others feel offended by these kind of people automatically considering themselves smart because of their hair color?

and using other excuses for kids and themselves such as "it is only natural" or "it is only human" or "mistakes happen" for lack of self control and negligible behavior?

do you think they give excuses like that for their children's irresponsible behavior and are ok with it if they do get into drugs,sex or alchol during their teenage years eventually?

is that why kids easily nowadays get into drugs, alcohol and sex (become skanks, sluts and man whores) at their early teens since they are not reprimanded when they are young and think they can get away with it ?

is this a pattern of parents screwin up themselves at their young age and just ok with it when their children do it instead of standing up and stopping it?

If someone came up to you and gave you the option to either be straight or gay, would you decide to be gay? And this is assuming that you are straight to begin with.

I'm a 40 year old lesbian & I've been in a relationship for 4 yrs. I'm happy & thought she (42 yrs old) was too. We've lived together for 3 yrs. We get along so well, don't argue, we show affection & have similar interests. Our differences are really minimal. 3 months ago she told me she needs to live alone for awhile, said she's been depressed and needs time to work on herself. Devastating in itself, I also had to figure out where to live for awhile. I'm trying to be supportive by learning more about depression (she had suffered past depression before I met her) and by doing things on her terms. I have been paying 1/2 the rent while she figures things out & I have given her space, we are only seeing each other 3x's mo. but talk on the phone daily. I miss her a lot. She recently told me that she loves me but that she's not "in love" with me & that she needs time to figure out what's wrong with her. Yet she said we will be together again. I'm confussed. Anyone have a similar experience?

Lets say you're in a computer lab or a waiting room or something and someone starts talking on the phone... and you hear what they're saying (cause they're right next to you or opposite you) ...and then they ask the person they're talking to a question. And the person on the other side doesn't know the answer, but you do.

Do you tell the person the answer when they get off the phone or do you not tell them cause you don't want to make it sound like you're eavesdropping on their conversation?

I'm just curious cause that happened to me and I told the person the answer, then after a while I thought, "I hope she doesn't think I'm a crazy person eavesdropping on her conversation!"

There already is a little gap, but it’s not big enough; I want to drive a big freakin’ wedge between the two so that the creationist morons will be alienated even further and their fanaticism and stark raving madness will be exposed for what it is. Because, right now, they hide their madness behind other more mild mannered Christians and that to me is abhorrent.

I'm not usually the spiritual type but i love the thought of a angel keeping a eye out for me.
I'm the type that usually has to see something to believe in it but i'm keeping my mind open to the idea of guardian angels .
whats your views on the matter?

wouldn't that be smug to assume all with your faith or lack of faith is going to like your answer so therefore it must be the Christian or the Atheist?
