Has anyone seen the video, or read the book of "The Secret"?
I myself am a true believer of positive thinking and the good it can bring. What is your own opinions of this? Has it brought good things to your lives?

A deliberate attempt by a radical Homosexual /Gay Militant organization in San Francisco to desecrate and mock the Holy Scarements of the Catholic Church, to date ... goes unreported and unchallenged .

If such a sacriledge was committed against a mosque or a Jewish synogoue there would be an uncontrollable outcry and outrage ...

Yet Far Left Wing Liberals dedicated to denigrate Christianity and now even the Cathloic church gets a Pass!?

The silence is deafening !!!

Is it cowardice because of the priest pedophile scandals?

Whatever their reason, inaction now means any radical Activist Gays can go into a religious service, disrupt and desecrate it and act-out ... in Drag no less!

The incident was totally Blacked Out from the Left of Liberal Main Steam News Media. i.e. NBC and of course The SanFrancisco Press!

The silence is deafening !!!

What is happening???

I asked some offensive questions in a spirit of jest and everyone thought I was serious. It was really funny getting angry replies from people whom I normally agree with. Was I wrong to do this? What would Flying Spaghetti Monster do?

Last week I turned in an outline on what the essence of human personhood was. My thesis is: "Humans can be divided into mind, body, and soul, but the essence of human personhood is the soul."My two arguments are "Humans have a conscience" and "humans have free will."
My teacher was disappointed in our outlines so he's letting us re-do our argumentation. He mentioned using sanctity for crimes as support for an arument.

I'm at my wit's end. I've researched and researched and I need help. Does anybody have reliable sources, preferrably classical writings/authors, that they can give me? My outline was written from a Christian perspective, but has to be information that a non-Cristian could understand.
Does anybody have any ideas that I can use to shore up my arguments?
10 points will go to the one who helps me with all of my questions or provides the best source. I am desperately asking for your help!!!

I must ask this question, because of all the Anti-Christian questions posted on here all the time. I am a very strong, proud Christian woman, and I admit that the church is a great gateway to achieving a loving relationship with God, my Savior. How is that wrong? Who has the right to doubt my faith, even though I am not allowed to doubt theirs? If someone can answer this question with a logical, thinking statement, I will happily award the points. I really am curious, though, why people who claim to have no religion constantly and consistantly bash other peoples religions. Me and my Christian friends and those who worship with us don't go out and do these things. Why is it that people view me, my fellow Christians, our places of worship, and worst of all, our Savior and our key to Salvation as the bad guy?

So the most informed scientific minds on earth are lying to me, and a man speaking with a mouth-full of 'chewin' tabackie' is more capable of relating to the subject...It all makes sense now.

One evening Joe says to his wife Linda, hey maybe you should wash your underwear in Slim Fast--in might take a few inches of yer butt! He chuckles and thinks he is realllly funny. Linda just sits and ignores it. Next morning Ol Joe gets a pair of shorts out of his drawer and shakes 'em out--poof there is a cloud of dust. He hollers, Linda why did you put talcum powder in my shorts? She answers calmly--I didn't--it's Miracle Grow. Is she a great wife or what??

PLEASE tell me this is some kind of joke!
I just read not one but TWO answers from people claiming that there are "real digs" showing footprints of dinos and humans together....
Are you people really this gullible? NOT ONE of these has ever proven to be legit.
Most of them are pure fabrication. Look at the Paluxy prints. Funny how the guy who "found" them claimed they were real yet when credible scientists wanted to examine them, they were moved and the guy won't allow them to be seen. Well, it's nice to know that he acknowledges the fact that a real scientist would recognize them as the fakes they are anyway.
At least that shows he can be a honest with himself if no one else.
And these lies and frauds do nothing to help your cause by the way....
But really, are there still people this thoroughly deluded?

Male friends I was traveling with wouldn't go to the massage in the hotel's spa because there were only male masseurs. Is this common?

Would you agree that you think every question is being asked from your own perspective?

Maybe we should check out where the asker is before we give out information. One I see a lot is regarding the age of consent.

It's 16 here (UK) and younger in other places. I worry when I see youngsters being told they face jail for having sex with a 16 year old.

And I'm surprised too. I seem to recall us giving Jerry Lee Lewis a hard time because his wife was 13.

But I digress. I think before we give out what we think are facts we need to take into account that facts are different in different places. :)

When a casual aquaintence makes an innocent comment at a party that is really insulting and offensive to you and your feelings are deeply hurt. Do you just over look it and let it slide? Or do you speak up and take the chance of starting an argument? I am half Native American Indian on my mother's side and proud of it. I am not a savage, blood thirsty, redskin bas_ard!

I work as a admin assistant/receptionist. Often i'll find that i've finished my daily duties and i'm looking for something to do. I know it sounds like a good thing, but if i want to keep this job and move up in the company i need to be given the chance to do so. The problem is the head receptionist will not delegate any work to me - it's like she wants to keep it all for herself. I know this might sound weird, but when management comes down from HQ it doesn't look good for me to be doing nothing or pretending to be busy. Anyone dealt with a simular situation?
