Society & Culture - 22 November 2007

I've noticed that some people, when talking to other people, tend to go right up to that other person's nose. It gets to the point where you have to keep stepping backwards from the other person and you find the two of us walking in circles as he or she steps closer to you and you continually step away! Why do some people need to be so close to someone when having a conversation?

if it doesnt change their extreem attitudes, what exactly is the point of 'thumbs downing'?
I don't mention anyone individually, but do some people thrive on saying deliberatly contraversial things, and do they really mean them?

Am I old enough to yell at the kids and their darned music? Is dressing in a too small robe and boxers now acceptable? How many days should I go without shaving before it changes from grubby old man to distinguished bearded gentleman? Happy Thanksgiving!

I know that women are required by the Koran to cover. But they cover their faces only as custom, to imitate the Prophet's wives. So why don't men go a step further than required and wear hijab to show their faith publicly, too? I think it is too much of a bother for them to do something like that.

Although this question may sound a bit crazy, I am sincerely interested in the answers.

I do not believe that God is a bigot.

I give Him credit for having intelligence.

The biblical monster is fiction.

Why do "Christians mock at Muslim Women when they dress modestly with there hear covered? Do they not resemble piety humbleness and strength. Do we not resemble Mary, Mother of Jesus (peace be upon him). If Mary (peace be upon her) were alive would you mock at her? Do you not think that under their garments, that there are beautiful clothing that only her husband shall see?
But if you won't do these things, then ... Why do you?

WHOO! I'd be scared to be a turkey this thanksgiving, or at least one around Whoopie Goldberg. yesterday, she was kind of scary the way she talked about thanksgiving. She said she was going to chase down her turkey herself and kill it herself and how that turkey don't want to see her. She said she was then going to make sure wants it was dead that it smelled good, with all KINDS of juices, seasoning, butter, biscuits surrounded around it and then she was going to finish it off herself. She's going to be fat on Friday. HOO BOY! Whoopie don't play with thanksgiving and turkey

JOHN: Some research has indicated that people with certain names tend to have certain attributes. For example, in many instances girls named Faith like religion, and boys named Archie like architecture.

TOM: And people named Neal like to give b-j's (term for oral sex).

A variant of this was told on a podcast I heard recently. So how homophobic is this joke, in US culture?

I think, given the facts we know about Jesus (hanging around 12 guys in robes), they should try "Intelligent Interior Design".

I mean simply that Islam preaches love/respect/peace/social justice/equality for mankind/respect to every ones own belifs/allows every one to choose its religion/gives rules and regulations for co existance of all human socities and cultures/advaocates the opreesed and discourage the opressor then why other people have problem to accept it as peaceful religion. Islam is not what is shown on your TV and news if you ever feel the need to really understand what Islam is just recite the QURAN. And your heart will advocate that it is the truth all truth nothing less or more than truth.
