Society & Culture - 29 November 2007

My nieces and nephews get so much STUFF it is insane! They just rip the paper off and move on to the next item, with no recognition of the actual present. I find it hard to watch and really don't want to contribute to the madness.

I am knitting all of them hats, which I do every year but I'd like to come up with some "alternative" gifts I could give them, things that have more meaning than the latest Bratz doll.
Any ideas?
I have nieces that are 10, 4 and 2 years old and a 9yo nephew.
Thanks!

For me, it was three pairs of very cheap slipper-socks from my grandmother last year, in colors I never wear. My cousins got $50 Wal-Mart gift cards. Message, much?

I know others got similar "messages" as presents. What was your worst?

This could be said for anyone, but I've noticed some people specifically get freaked when someone of thier race is dating a BLACK person.

My Puerto Rican friend said her sister was disowned for becoming enganged to a Black guy. What's that about?

Okay so my best friends have moved into their own apartment. They were told by the land lord that past attendents have heard strange noises and stuff but we never expeianced anything for about 4 months, so we kinda just assumed he was lying. Well here recently there have been instances were things are just unexplainable, example: things being moved around the apartment when we know for a fact we put it specifically there for a reason. Usually if i stay the night there i feel fine..but sometimes at night i feel watched. To sum this up i just want to know if what im dealing with could be a ghost or a demon. How do i know? What can i do to find out? Btw i dont want to use a ouija board...ive heard too many bad stories....thanks in advance

Political correctness....Has it gone to far? I have no prejudice, sexism, racism anything in me like that. Everyone is equal no matter or colour creed religion or sexuality, so why is there so much political correctness around now ?

do you possibly think that the stars, black holes, moons, nine planets, perfect orbits in the solar system, the mountains, the sky , rain, hail snow sleet, earthquakes, babies forming in the womb, glaciers, animals of more than a million species, plants of numerous types and i can go on until forever
but do you possibly think for one second that all these and all other creation aren't created by God????????????????????????????
tell me you've seen a human skeleton right
well why aren't all humans walking around like that; who covered all that with what you apparently see right now if you observe yourself and everyone around you

clearly God is the creator of all creation
so now what? Here are the major questions mankind come across:
what's your purpose?
what'll happen after death?how can i distinguish the right religion from the wrong?
all these questions are answered in Islam's Greatest Miracle The HolyQuran dn't be quick2judge but b4 we cont. go to "miraclesofthequran.com

I know a lot of people, no matter what race are offended by honest questions about Black people. If they are asking, they really don't know the answer. It's only what they have seen in their own personal experience. So I must ask, WHY TAKE OFFENSE?

I hope the evidence custodian makes an entry in Muhammed's daily diary. This is a grand adventure, indeed, for the little plush toy.

It's called "Battleground God". I just took the quiz and it was very eye opening for me. It really made me have to think. If you do take the quiz, please share how it went or what you thought of it. I took four direct hits but I didn't bite any bullets.

They also have a quiz called Do-It-Yourself Deity, but I haven't tried it yet. If any of you try it, please let me know how it went and what you think of it. Thanks.
