Society & Culture - 27 December 2007

I don't have a MySpace account but I want invited to check out our neighbor's latest Christmas pictures so I decided to see if there was anyone I knew on there. Since my neice (15) said she had a MySpace last summer I looked her up and was shocked to see her in a provocative picture with a friend, and she's only wearing her bra and panties. Should I forward the picture to my sister (her mother)? If it were my daughter, I'd want to talk to her about how that picture might not be something she wants to whole world to see. She probably thinks only her friends view it, but I live several states away and I found it in seconds. A future college or employer could do the same. Advice? Keep my mouth shut? Tell my sister? Call my neice and say 'nice bra'?

For those who don't know. Humanism. Perhaps you may
have heard of it before. Humanism is a broad category
of ethical philosophies that affirm the dignity and worth
of all people based on the ability to determine what is
right or wrong going by human qualities. Or choice
or what we consider morality. OK. Well. Many Atheists
have declared this a new religion. Because they feel
out of touch, with their own spirituality. And feel as
if all the beautiful Christians have so much fun......
Is this the next big thing ? Will Atheists give in to the
huge secular humanist movement in 2008 ? Tell me
what do you think ? Place your best answer here.
Happy Holidays. ~~~

This is one of the most beautiful languages around, and it will be extinct in fifty years. The government doesn't protect like Gaelic and Welsh is protected... Our generation (20-30 years old) still speaks it, but those after us speak more dutch than something else... Don't you think that's a shame ? Is it even any use that children are still taught this language ? I think it is, what about you ?

"It's not my problem if you have been so rude as to absent yourself for more than 20 minutes without informing me;
as impolite as to disconnect without saying anything.."

Thanks everybody!!

Obviously, it was not a Muslim that killed her, correct? Or was she not a true Muslim herself?

Within a gay relationship. What is the role of a " top " supposed to be ?

For example( is this example describe a typical gay relationship )

Man who performed " bottom " says "I feel so scared"

Man who performed ' top' , " Don't worry. Honey. I'll protect you from danger ". Then the " top " uses his strong arms to wrap around the " bottom " man

The bottom men says " Your arms are so warm. I feel so secured. " Then he sleeps in the " top " man's arm.

why dont theists, instead of saying "i have faith that god exists", say "i think that god exists."

calling an opinion, faith, does not promote it into some higher unquestionable form of idea

This question is really for everyone, but its targeted really towards our gay population.

I consider men to be men, not BOYS. It about time the gay community starts looking at this issue very seriously. The general population seems to feel us gay guys always prey upon youth and thats not true. But the gay community seems to reinforce that belief by not labeling men as men in everyday speech.

A boy to me is under 13, a teenager is 13 to 18, a young adult is between 18 and 21. Why do people constantly label people wrong in context of their age.

Its certainly not helping the gay community gain any respect from the rest of straight society. I am a gay male and I refuse to label good looking adult men as boys.

This is also a hot-button issue with the conservative right wing too who would love to see every gay or lesbian adult hung from the highest limb and left for feed for the crows. And they wouldn't hesitate to do it!

Consider Matthew 24:36 on Jesus’ proprietary theme of end of the world: “No one knows the day or hour. The angels in the heaven don’t know, and the son himself doesn’t know. Only the Father knows.” Jesus here admits that he does not know when the world is going to end up. But his words in Matthew 24:44 are to the contrary: “The son of man will come at an hour when you are not expecting him.” If he does not know the when of it, he cannot in truth say at the same time that it will only occur at an unexpected hour. Since the two statements cannot be true at the same time, Jesus is lying in both instances.
Moreover, Jesus says in John 10:30 that he and his father are the same. How then can he say that the date and time of day when the world will come to a stop is known to his father but not to him? What Jesus says in Matthew 24:36 contradicts with what he says in John 10:30. Self contradiction is the hallmark of falsehood.

Well, I have a boyfriend. But when I see women naked I get all horny and stuff. I love hearing them moan and everything. Esp in sex scenes. And watching videos of them making out really turns me on. I think that around the age of 9 I was bi sexual because I stripped a girl. But now I NEED to know if I am bi!

If you have an experience with this, please share your story. I'm reading Joel Osteen's new book, "Become a Better You." In it, he talks about how God shuts doors forever and doesn't want them reopened. I guess I'm confused because I think of people like my parents who have broken up and gotten back together, and eventually had a wonderful marriage.
Insight please :) Thanks!

almost over, and its toiling time is through, Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said: Does the man whose hopes were fading, now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day, or lose it? Was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness, or a scar of discontent? As you close your eyes in slumber, do you think that God will say,
Now here is the part I have a problem with-------
"You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today". written by John Hall
We don't get to heaven by works. Can you put an ending on this for me please? Mmm

If the person you hate most was on the brink of death, would you finish them off, or simply leave them to rot?
Or would you help them, try to save their life, even if it would possibly put you at risk, even if they don't deserve your pity?
There is no right answer here, everyone will have a different person in mind, but please answer true.

Or other writing on some of the pages? Does that ever bother you, when you read a book to come across writing or highlighted words in a book?
