I don't get it. Period. I just don't understand. Religion is the core of most of the problems we have today. From extremist Arabs blowing themselves up in the name of Allah to even local places where extremist come around to your house and try to convert you. People will not hear anyhting against religion, and won't listen to logic unless it favors their point. I am willing to listen though. If some religious person can give me a point on religion and what it is really about without some crap about having faith and Jesus, I will listen. I am about to get attacked by extremist religious people. Let the mudslinging begin

…the citizens of the Former Yugoslav Republic Of Macedonia, for short FYROM, (UN provisional reference, UN Resolutions #817 of April 7 and #845 of June 18 of 1993) who are mainly of Slavic and Albanian origin not only claim that they are Macedonians, regardless their Slavic/Albanian origin, but also insist that Macedonians were never Greek!!! Why do you think is that?

Im not one to delve into abortion a whole lot. But I was thinking about the actual process. Not the machines, sterile environment, etc. But a baby; the beginnings of life growing in a woman's body...I'm not looking at the "im a woman, I have a choice argument, or the Im not ready to have children argument, but from a biological, female and natural position, doesnt it seem like the antithesis of what is supposed to be? Women are bringers of life, its a beautiful thing. Doesnt it seem bizaare to be a part of that beauty and to throw it away? Thoughts?

Why do you feel compelled to tell us what we should do?
So you will go to heaven and we will go to hell!
Why the **** do you care?
Let us go to hell it is our choice!

I'm twelve. I go to an all-girls school.

I don't really know why, but I think I might like girls.

About the second week of school, I liked one of my classmates, I tried to convince myself that I didn't. But I was really obsessed. Just last month, I stopped liking her. So, that means I liked her for about 5 months.

Now, I like someone else. She's also one of my classmates. She acts kind of boyish sometimes, but she is a real girl.

I told one of my classmates that I thought she was hot and then she told her. I don't know if she knows, but after a month, she started texting me and was pretending to be a guy.

I told her I knew it was her and asked how I knew. I told her I LOVED her sarcastically, and she knew that too. She calls me sweet names now [ as a joke ] and I play along trying to act sarcastic.

I find it hard not to visit my site to see if I have any new comments from her and I get really worried if I don't have any, fearing that she might think I'm weird and all.

like say British Humour. I am just noticing a trend, as an Australian, that some of you don't seem to "get" tongue in cheek type answers and/or questions but I am not having a go I am just very interested. For instance Australians are all the time "taking the Mickey out of people and having a bit of a dig" but we all seem to know when this is happening and see the joke. I am wondering if Americans take questions at purely face value. What do Yahoo contributors think about this query????

And provide dates and a link if possible?

I am talking about violence that is religiously motivated

And I am talking actual violence not "offensive language" or a protest or saying something you didn't like, but actually physically hurting, killing, robbing etc. someone.

for me, its the following:

1.) when people put "Atheist", or "Atheism, the Logical Choice" as a source. I mean, what the he11 kind of source is "Atheist". i just get annoyed by it

2.) that stupid thing where people say "drink" and get 10 thumbs up for it. Its totally retarted and a waste of space on an answer.

3.) Even though I'm christian, I hate asking a question and having a ton of scripture that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING at all to do with the question. I mean, I apprecieate the meaning behind it, but it wasnt what I was trying to look for at the very moment.

Not that I am boycotting them or have a social/political agenda about not attending them, but I am just emotionally turned-off by celebrating any Straight romances when I live in a society that can't even accept ours. I just feel so blah about them so I figure why bother going to them.

Women who don't do physically harmful things, such as smoking or drugs, and are very careful about their pregnancies and pray to the Christian God, suffer miscarriages every single day.

If 'God' is omnipotent, then he's the most prolific abortionist of all time. Agreed?

"Jesus said, 'If you wish to be perfect, go and sell what you own and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.'" - Matthew 19:21

Before you ask me if I have, no, I haven't, and I honestly can't give a good reason why I haven't.

i think it does. its a scientific fact that sperm is alive. and i believe that doctors and law makers are wrong to allow abortions. if they don't want to get pregnant then don't have sex. if you do any way give the child up for adoption. killing it should not be a option. but this is just my opinion and not part of the question

can you tell me what verse in the bible tells man not to spill his seed upon the ground?

I'm curious to see which direction Christianity/Atheism conversions tend to go and why. If you used to be one, and now you're the other, tell us which and what was it that made you begin to change you way of thinking.
