Society & Culture - 23 October 2007

My husband and I had a debate on the pope and marriage. I was saying that the pope isn't allowed to be married and my husband was saying that he is married. Now I try to look it up on line and the only thing that came up is that in history some of the popes were married. Now does that mean they are allowed to still? And is the currant pope married?

I am an atheist, hate muslims for what they have done.
But sometimes i feel absurd about it, i have never come across any muslim, but still i hate them. I have seen a lot of true & false stuff about them on the internet.

Is my hate justified? Considering I havent met a single muslim(personally) all through out my life.
I have met many christians, they are hypocrites, they hardly follow what is written in the bible.

In order to aviod confusion im asian.
Alos im sorry if i accidently offend any white people.
Okay the thing that i never understood about white people is that when it comes to things like divorce and stepparenting. They have this let the parents be happy attitude and they allow the divorce to happen despite the fact that they are upset about it. They also say its my parents life and they have the right to do whatever they want and i dont have a say in this.If thye are upset about the divorce why dont they speak out about it. Most of these things would have never happened if the marriage was arranged but then again white people will only marry for love(im sorry if i offend anyone but that made me physically sick)Also white never get close to their stepparents even thought they allow remmairge? Why do whites have lower family ties escpecially lower than asains?Why don'ty whites give arranged marriage a chance?Why cant they pick a life partner? If there upset about divorcing whynotspeak

Apparently, liberals (such as myself) are supposed to be recruiting gay people. I didn't know I was supposed to do this.

In fact, I didn't even know it was possible.

Could some of you liberals who are doing things right please tutor me so I can begin making straight people fall into the sin of being ostracized by society?

What are the selling points? Can I mention fashion sense?

i heard when u do yoga meditation u can go higher plane and stop feeling low or weak in the heart, but i am afraid bcas it is unknown territory i cant trust anyone enough to go to higher planes,
perhaps u might get struck in the middle and lose ur mind, it is scary! but it is attractive as it increases happiness,
joy is higher vibes i know that but still.
As for god is it possble for him to be in human form
i feel my guru is god but i cannot trust him too much he might cheat me or laugh at me, punish me or is it possbl only that he loves and has no other emotions? my guru says give me ur pain
he might hate me secretly and tolerate me for some reasons?
what is gods attitude? towards us,
do we bore him?
is he lonely?
how much patience can he have? am i creating pain to him?
will he protect my loved ones, will he be helpless in some way, does he love them truly intensely?
i am so scared stiff of spirituality but attracted to it too as it might solve problems for loved ones

Because you know that wasn't in the contract. "By the way, your charactor is gay". But now because the charactor is gay people are going to look at the actor and associate him with being gay.

Personally, I think this is hilarious. What do you think?

As a mother myself, I hate to overstep any boundaries, but..

I have a friend who is way too hard on her three year old. She doesn't have a lot of money, so I often pick her and her child up and take them with me when I have to go to the grocery store or whatever because she doesn't have a car or a way to get there (she and her husband share the car and he takes it to work).

She straight up yells at him in the store, often telling him to "SHUT UP" when he isn't even being that loud. He'll just be talking, but she thinks he needs to be quiet when they shop.

Another time, I took them tot he doctor because he was sick and he kept wanting to get out of his seat in the waiting room and she told him to "sit his little @ss down and shut up."

She's otherwise a good mother, but the way she talks to him concerns me. Should I say something? What would I say?

I'm not just talking about Genesis or the entire Bible, I'm talking about when they go on about humans being apes or such and then denying it like evolution actually states that?

Seriously, I've heard people say things like "Are you a monkey? Cause if you are, you better go live in a zoo." when given the explanation that humans evolved from, and are, primates. Is it just that they take the idea of evolution as a short-term transition ("I've never seen a dog 'evolve' into a cat in front of my eyes") or are they purposefully misrepresenting the information that is clearly layed out in front of them?

Please, no essays explaining why you think evolution is 'flawed' or satanic, just stick to the question. kthnx.
