Society & Culture - 3 November 2007

In my state and most others, non-hispanic white males are the only people who don't legally have minority status. Women of any race and men of any race but white are given special treatment as minorities.

Martin Luther King once said "Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." I think he would agree that discrimination cannot drive out discrimination, only equality can do that.

Giving one race an advantage over another is racism. Giving one sex an advantage over the other is sexism. I am not racist or sexist. I believe everyone should have an equal opportunity.

What do you think?

But we are all like an unclean thing,
And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;
We all fade as a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind,
Have taken us away.
Isaiah 64:6

well i have this friend who i really like, and i wanted to know if he is gay (im a guy). ive known him for a year and ive noticed a lot of weird things while we were friends. he would come up to me a lot and he would say stuff like "i love you baby" or "you make me horny." im not sure if he really meant this or if he was just playing. in science class, we sat next to each other (at one table) so we had a lot of touching moments, like he would lay his head down like almost exactly on my arm, and im sure he felt it. we also shared a book (even though there was an entire class set). he also looks at me a lot and when i catch him looking, he immediately looks away. However, he does have a girlfriend and he really acts like he loves her, but at the same time he kind of treated me better than he does all of his other guy friends. is he gay bi or straight?
plz help!!!

-im gay, and no one knows

(serious answers plz.....)

dont get me wrong, i am a christian and am faithful to God, i just have a problem with the following verses:

Exodus 35: 2-3 - "You have six days in which to do your work, but the seventh day must be sacred, a solemn day of rest dedicated to me, the LORD. Anyone who does any work on that day is to be put to death

- are doctors who save ppls lives on a sunday gonna be sent to hell because they worked on the wrong day of the week?

Leviticus 20:13 - if a man has sexual relations with another man, they have done a disgusting thing, and both shall be put to death

- since when does something so simple such as a sexual preference override the good things ppl do in life?

the bible was written over a long period of time, how can we be sure the writers wrote down the correct things? and even today, we have problems regarding translations, can we be sure that the bible was properly translated?

I heard that Komen grants some of its funds to planned parenthood and stem cell research. Is this true? When these planned parenthood centers get their grants from Komen, do they have to use all the money on breast cancer awareness and treatment, or can they do whatever they want with it as long as some of the money goes to breast cancer awareness, cure finding, and treatment? Is there a way to donate to Komen, and ensure the funds only go to breast cancer awareness, treatment, and cure? If you are pro-life, would you reconsider purchasing pink ribbon items because of where some of that money is going, even though it is helping find a cure for breast cancer?

Yesterday I asked a question about a boy who always stares at me in school. I asked if he was gay and lots of people said he was. I didn't say how it made me feel though, everytime he looks I get kind of nervous and freaked out. My personality all of a sudden changes, I constantly see him close to me, but we don't talk much. But everytime he is close to me I get a weird feeling (not in a bad way) and it's weird because he's the only guy it happens with. But I also like the way I feel around girls, I pay attention to girls and to him, so I don't know what to do. He always finds ways to get my attention but I don't know if I should talk to him. We have a lot in common because we both dress in skate clothes and are friendly, but that's all I know. Well I just wanted to know if all these feelings mean i'm bisexual or someting? Because it's never happened before just with him.

I've often wondered, when watching movies about the American Revolution, how long does it take to develop a distinct accent. The Americans always talk like modern Americans in these movies. Wouldn't they have had a British accent?

Shlepping my suitcase from one temporary accommodation to another, I`ve become an embarrassment to myself and to everyone else.

Emma Tennant`s jacket cover brings it all home.

Not entirely my fault however; as living outside London is too damn inaccessible and living within the city precincts too damn expensive.

The experiences I did have with regard to living in lower-middle-class environments haven`t encouraged me to try it again, as there was bullying, intimidation, etc.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I think not.
I've been doing a little research here and there and learned a few things. Catholic means universal, which most of you already know. So how long after Christ died did this group of people turn away from the TRUE church of the New Testament?
I found several timelines and as far as I can tell, as early as 130 years after Christ's death, a man named Justin Martyr was writing about the Eucharist, which is completely unbiblical. Again in 150 AD, he wrote the Divine Liturgy which, again, claimed the Eucharist as fact.
In 431 AD, the Third Edumenical Council gives Mary the title Theotokis "God-Bearer" and Panagia "ALL - HOLY" and declared her an EVER-VIRGIN - before, during, and eternally after the birth of Christ.
The original church, called catholic (universal) by many was indeed the original church. However, after the Reformation, the word catholic was primarily used by the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH and that's why we don't use the word catholic because we don't want to be
