I made this video a few days after my best friend commited suicide because I was depressed and I was told by my therapist to do something silly that would remind me of him so I made this video of a dance he and I used to do at the club that we saw on an episode of Fresh Prince. If you notice there is a diamond shaped window behind me during the entire video. It goes to my front steps. I don't have a bulb in my front porch light and I live out in the country where there are no street lights and nobody was looking through the window. My cousin and I were watching it after I uploaded it to youtube and she noticed that it looked like his face in the window behind me during the entire video. What do you think?

Just to prove it's MY video, you can go to my youtube profile from the video and you will see that it has my name and also I have a video in memory of my friend who killed himself on there.

Why or why not?
Does it matter what the consistency of the booger is?
How about color?
Nostril angle?

killing yourself? What if you're really mentally ill? My roman catholic friend thinks this is a direct ticket to hell. I can't help but think this isn't true, since one would have to be really mentally ill.

I've heard of pills called downers, and i understand uppers. Those get you high and give you a good feeling. But why were downers invented if they make you feel so bad? (i don't do drugs in advanced)

Take advantage of the time you live in. The Bible is not contraband anymore, the Catholics are not burning them at the moment, and you can find a translation in your langauge. So study the most printed book in human history.

Whether you belive the Bible or not in the end, at least learn for yourself what it says. Think about it. Yeah, even go out on a limb and pray to the Power above to give you Wisdom and show you that He exists.

He was surrounded by Cathri (good men) preachers and was influenced by our small bibles in the vernacular. He liked us much that in 1525 he offered our belivers a protection from persecution by the Catholic Church if we would join him.

What made the difference in his life was the careful study of the Bible. His knowledge of the New Testament changed him fundamentally. The change was so great that it caused him to reject his roots in the Catholic Church as being satanic.

Have you studied the Bible in depth over a long period of time, while praying for God to give you wisdom? Do it and it will change your life.

The mother of my friend passed away about two weeks ago and I didn't see him immediately after so I didn't see him again until we were both drinking at a party and I didn't think it would be appropriate. I am considering sending him a text/card. Is it better to do it late or just not bring it up? I mean theres no way he isn't thinking about it I'm thinking maybe getting a card would brighten his day.

Looking for specific answers as to what you can't live without. (Or what your Girlfriends can't live without! Please no gift certificate ideas)

It could be a specific beauty product like fav lipgoss', eyeshadows or bath products, or even scented candles? Lemme know it's such an awkward age. (Not sure what to buy one is 23, the other is 25
They both ironically have fairly thick hair and like to read. One has a funky style, the other more luxery/pampered style.) They are both addicted to makeup and hair products.

Regardless of whether you think it can be proven or not.
Are either of these the root substance of Reality? Is there something more primal?

I mean how can these verses b given respect? 1 corinthians ch 11 5-7 i mean this is sexist right? how can this b interpreted ne other way? How was this ever right? If it was right then and its not right now then wat is right and wat is wrong can change time to time right? So how many of u christians veil ur heads?

5.But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame upon her head, for it is one and the same thing as if she had had her head shaved.
6
For if a woman does not have her head veiled, she may as well have her hair cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should wear a veil.
7
5 A man, on the other hand, should not cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man

i ask my self why mu
but when u see a jew men with a long beard pepl say he iz just letin it grom.

when u see a muslim gurl with a hijab u say why she gota wear that. pepl dont think iz her choice they think she iz forst to wear it.


i am a muslim sister and i wear my hijab cuz its my choice
no one told me to wear it. i am not all about my beuty just my brain. pepl stare and laugh and say why is she coverin her hair? y iz it that when pepl see a muslim guy with a long beard and head wrap they think he iz a terist and when they see a jew or other guys that r practicin other religion
have a relgouis close on they think is jus their culturel believe

well let me tell u somthing peple that dont noe anything about muslims
What do you see when you look at me
Do you see someone limited, or someone free
All some people can do is just look and stare
Simply because they can't see my hair
Others think I am controlled and uneducated
They think that I am limited and un-liberated
They are so thankful that they are not me
Because they would like to remain 'free'

Well free isn't exactly the word I would've used
Describing women who are cheated on and abused
They think that I do not have opinions or voice
They think that being hooded isn't my choice
They think that the hood makes me look caged
That my husband or dad are totally outraged
All they can do is look at me in fear
And in my eye there is a tear

Not because I have been stared at or made fun of
But because people are ignoring the One up above
On the day of judgment they will be the fools
Because they were too ashamed to play by their own rules
Maybe the guys won't think I am a cutie
But at least I am filled with more inner beauty
See I have declined from being a guy's toy
Because I won't let myself be controlled by a boy

Real men are able to appreciate my mind
And aren't busy looking at my behind
Hooded girls are the ones really helping the Muslim cause
The role that we play definitely deserves applause
I will be recognized because I am smart and bright
And because some people are inspired by my sight
The smart ones are attracted by my tranquility
In the back of their mind they wish they were me

We have the strength to do what we think is right
Even if it means putting up a life long fight
You see we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight shirt
We are given only respect, and never treated like dirt
So you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated
We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violated
We are the ones that are free and pure
We're free of STD's that have no cure

So when people ask you how you feel about the hood
Just sum it up by saying, 'Baby its all good'

so what do u say about this one.the Kuran mentions that the sun moves on a certain path and it has a certain destination(now that is different from what Europeans believed those days that the sun orbits the earth cuz it wouldn't have a final destination then).today we know that the sun & all the other stars in the milky way gallexy r moving all the time.how many years ago did man discover this one?could have Mohammad made this up or just guessed it and then been so sure about it?i can give u the addres of this verce if u want but not right now cuz i don't have my Kuran with me.and I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE U MUSLIMS cuz i dont care if u deny this last religion or not.

The Nestorians
The Orthodox - cheifly the other 4 pariarchs
The non-protestants
The Protestants
The Christian Churches that have always existed outside of Roman control

These groups all know their own history. But the Catholic Church keeps on telling us who we are, where we came from, and that we need to submit to them. Where do these late comers (the Catholics) get off?

It is not as if we do not have our own documents, knowledge of world history, knowledge of Catholic History, and our own traditions.
