One thing i find annoying about YA is when people start mocking other peoples religion - i am a buddhist and have seen so many questions and offences about Mohammed on here. This person is loved by approximately 1.7 billion people (or so i learned at school last week in RE) and yet people come on here and start mocking him. Not just him, but Jesus too. Why do people want to hurt other peoples feelings? I know there is such a thing as being able to say what you want but is this not taking that right too far and hurting people on what they care about most? why do people want to hurt others?
I have heard about the bear story and think it is wrong, but does that mean cos of one or two people we can condemn the entire 1.7 billion muslims? i have muslim friends and i treat them with the same respect id want to be treated with

Most people don't realize that it was not until well after Jesus' time that the Romans (or anyone else) drank straight wine. That was considered gauche and a concept introduced by the Gauls (French) much later. Instead, the Romans typically drank half wine/half water.

So, the wine that Jesus produced from water was actually half water anyway.

As sad as this sounds, I only have $2, and 7 people to get Christmas presents for. My mom, dad, my oldest sister (24) a style freak, my older brother (17) cowboy, my little sister (13) style music drama girl, my little brother (9) robot/dragon freak, and my best friend (15) music lover. (She needs to know how much I appreciate her too!) Any home made Christmas gift Ideas?

This is directed at people who ALREADY have children, because they will have real people to think of when they give their answer, whereas people without children are thinking of an abstract idea.
I am curious, because I converted and everyone in my family kinda had a different reaction....I am just curious as to how others would react to their children converting.
Thanks =)

I was asking whether anyone knew of websites that show the correlation between education levels and religious fervor, okay?

I was NOT asking for anecdotal stuff.

I was NOT asking about basic intelligence; I was asking about education levels or backgrounds.

Immediately, a bunch of people were falling all over themselves, giving me anecdotal evidence concerning educated people who believe in Jesus, or whatever.

I'm asking the question again -- and this time, anybody that cares to, kindly read the question before answering, okay?

Question: If you don't know of a website or scientific study that talks about the correlation between education and religious fervor, why waste your time on this question?

I was wondering how different countries like Pakistan and China came to making clothes for the United States. I looked at my hoodie and a hat and started thinking about why different countries make our clothes. I want to know which trade agreements or treaties helped these countries become clothing producers for the US. Websites help too.

1. I'm not old. I am chronologically gifted.

2. I am so old. When I go out for a meal they ask me for the money up front.

3. At my age, flowers scare me.

4. Be nice to your children. They will choose your Nursing home.

5. Retirement is the best medicine.

6 Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognise a mistake when you make it again.

Matt 24:37-44
What i think this means is God said he will come at the end of time. He could come at this very moment or tomorrow. No one knows. But all we can do is be prepared.Am I right? What can we do to be prepared? Help me please!

Should it be "something golden" or should it be more of "something the couple needs" like a pair of canes or arthritic spoons? I am not inclined to give kitchen or decorative stuff since these are emant only for the wife. I want somthing that both the wife and the husband will appreciate.
