Society & Culture - 27 December 2007

I'm looking for a good charity with an anti-seal hunt campaign to donate to. I used to donate to HSUS, but I've heard some back things about them recently. I've seen harpseals.org, but can't find much info about them, so I'm not sure if they're legit, good or bad, etc. I know sites like IFAW have seal campaigns, but apparently all donations go to the mass fund, and I'd like my donations to be used just for the seal campaign. Anyone know of a good charity where you can contribute just to a seal fund?

just wondering.
i mean...
not ALL Atheists, Christians, Muslims...
think anything.
and it just starts arguments.
and why are some Christians willing to say "You are going to hell!" that has to get annoying.
and why do some Christians say Atheists are terrible?
ignorance. is what i think.
what do you think?

I was very young, but i remember when she was Prime Minister of Pakistan. A female in charge of a muslim country. Having learned about the culture of islam and the culture that preceded it, this for me, was hope incarnate. Mind you, still just a kid growing up in Munich.
Now, I'm older and our country's (or the west as a whole)relationship with this part of the world has really gone awry. When did she just become fodder? What are we REALLY doing to each other?

Can we, just for one question, look past religious barriers and ask this question honestly...Isn't it hard NOT to judge people? I literally cried when I read about the Pakistan's rightful president being assassinated, and I admit, I judged her murderers in my mind harshly. Isn't it really hard NOT to judge people? You read about a woman leaving her baby in a dumpster, don't you think that if you were in that situation that you would have done it differently?
Can I just reach across the aisle for one moment and find a common bond? It's hard not to say that "I" would have done it differently if "I" were in their shoes....Mother Theresa, Hitler, Stalin, Bush, take your pick. We all think that "we" would have done a better job...

Man Ive been praying for someone ( I'm Christian, a real one) for I don't know how long, like 4 years now, I'm now 22. Im not trying to rush the lord, but like I feel like I don't care anymore.

I dated this girl, thought I was in love, but turned out she was real abusive in the relationship, she calls me to hang out and but says she just likes me as a close friend.

I am a virgin, I follow the bible really closely, I mean really closely not these people who say their Christians, and never even read the bible. I mean I really know God on a personal level, he has given allot; wisdom, success, lessons, and pretty much everything Ive always wanted. But my life has been horrible at times, but it pretty much is getting better, with every year.

I had this hobby of making music, I had like 700 songs made, I got signed and was offered allot of money, but my computer just crashed, so i lost everything

I mean it doesn't really matter if I die a virgin, but it would be nice to have someone

They believe in the extermination of God? or belief in no God? From many questions and answers here I don't know what to believe about atheists. Maybe not "atheist", but A-Theist in need of some soul searching?

My husband insisted that his family come to visit us in Michigan for Christmas this year. Since they live in California, he doesn't get to see them very often, so he relished the idea of spending quality time with them over the holiday. The problem is that his family is very rude and inconsiderate. First, they failed to confirm how many people were coming to visit or exactly when they would be arriving -- until the day before their 7-day visit. Then, when they arrived, we discovered that (surprise!) they had also decided to bring along their pet ferret and 3 dogs -- even though we already have 3 big dogs in our home who do not take kindly to other animals in the house! To make matters worse, my sister-in-law showed up with five bratty kids, ages 2 through 13, who are constantly hungry, constantly making messes, and seemingly incapable of lifting a finger to handle even the slightest chore. Their mother is even worse. She refuses to lift a finger to cook or clean! Any advice?

My great aunt is one of these. She thinks it's okay to talk down to someone just because they're a teenager, but she expects respect from them. Once I was helping her make spaghetti, and she actually called me a stupid twit because I used to much sauce. It wasn't in a joking way, either. I had had enough, told her she was an awful person and I didn't like her a bit, and walked out.

There's this girl I like, but never met before. She's a sophomore cheerleader, and I'm a junior football player.

I don't know her school schedule and I've never seen her around school. but apparently, we are Facebook friends.

I would really like to get to know her in person first, but I have no idea where her classes are or where her locker is.

So is it okay to talk to her on Facebook first by writing on her wall? (it's like leaving a comment on MySpace).

I've been told these two lines are good icebreakers:

"hey i have you as a friend on facebook but we never talk...we should change that...lol so whats up what have you been up to during break?"

or

"hey i have you as a friend on facebook but i dont believe we've ever talked... how was your christmas?"

I would get to know her via Facebook, then try to find and talk to her at school (we come back Jan. 7)

But would that be awkward?

(and if this is okay to do, which one of the two lines is best?)

What language would you rather speak?
I persoanlly would rather speak dutch, becuase it's less common in the United States than dutch.
French is a pretty lanugage but I personally like dutch more.
Which would you rather speak?
