Especially in terms of their backing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, which thanks to Barney Frank of Massachusetts, was written to be GAY ONLY, cutting out protections for the transgender/gender variant community.

Also, what are your reactions to the Hate Crime legislation (adding sexual orientation and gender identity) to the list of protections, and extending the current federal laws, BEING ATTACHED TO A MULTI BILLION DOLLAR military spending bill for more money for Iraq, and for recruitment.

When I have to go to work the next day, I always lay out the clothes that I am going to wear to work before I go to bed. I also have every thing right there with my clothes that I am taking to work with me. That way should I over sleep or if I have no power (which has been happening a lot since the ice storm) and have no lights to see by, I will know where every thing is. So do you lay out your clothes for the next day before you go to bed?

Santa has always been known to be a jolly plump fellow who had the line of "ho ho ho"
and now,
they want to make Santa trim and say "ha ha ha" because "ho ho ho" is affending to women because it refers to the word *hoe*

do you think this is right to change a tradition that has been carried on for many,many years bringing joy to so many peoples faces

I dont think it is a sin. I was raised catholic and nothing in the bible leads me to believe it is wrong. It is pleasurable, helps me release sexual tension, and releases stress. WHy should I conttrol my innate sexual desires just cuz a book says it is wrong?

To those of you in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri, and parts of Illinois that were affected by the Ice Storm, do you have any special stories to tell about it; any acts of kindness/heroism;
and how did you manage to stay warm and fed? Any good tips for the next time around? CJ

The holy spirit has no name. It is God's active force to accomplish his will. That's the problem with people who think that the holy spirit is a person. NO where in the scriptures does it indicate a personal force.

I really want to do a study for a college course that involves wearing a traditional muslum burkah and going about my daily life in my small upstate NY town. I would monitor how differently I was treated, etc. How do you think the results would be?

I am SOOO sick of asking a question about something having to do with homosexuality and som as*shole coming along and writing "Repent or you shall burn forever!" or "The snakes of satan will devour your evil mind!" PLeeeeaasseee. I didn't ask you. Go play in traffic.
Secondly, if they hate gay ppl so much, why do they come here?????!!!! If it's just to force their annoying views on us, move on!!!!! Nobody cares, and do you think anyone will listen if you go about it like that anyway? NOOOOOO.
Who agrees?
I just asked a question about my own sexualiy, and somebody called "God" Told me the only way I could cure myself is to commit suicide. If this is how God's ppl are, I'll have none of it. Thank you.
And the last time I checked, God didn't want His ppl to die for something they can't help.

As a black man I am absolutely baffled at the popularity of taking a name of common Anglo heritage and adding a prefix to it. This seems to be part of several overall trends among African-American names (the other trend appears to be simply misspelling names completely). I have seen LaDonna, LaMichael, DeShawn. . . there are hosts of other examples.

While I have no objection to naming your children whatever you want (they can always change their names when they get old enough, if they want) I am wondering WHY this has become a popular method of "blackening" a name. The closest I can come up with is a desire to evoke a connection Louisana's rich black culture by making names sound French (le-, la-, de-, des-). I am unable to find any real grounds for this belief, so I am hoping someone who might have some understanding of this phenomena can explain it and show a clear connection.

Explain factual evidence why, OUTSIDE OF SCRIPTURE (since it has no factual basis to an atheist). Thanks! All answers are very welcome. I am an atheist and do not believe in any supreme being(s), but it still is interesting to see people try and reason with religion, or supernatural beliefs.
