I am anti gun. I was mortified when my state of missouri passed a concealed weapons law. But now Im wondering. Maybe gay people should take advantage of the concealed weapon right in states where it exists. Perhaps there would be less gay bashing if the bashers thought 50% of us were armed at all times.

A judge was interviewing a woman regarding her pending divorce, and asked, "What are the grounds for your divorce?"

She replied, "About four acres and a nice little home in the middle of the property with a stream running by."

"No," he said, "I mean what is the foundation of this case?"

"It is made of concrete, brick and mortar," she responded.

"I mean," he continued, "What are your relations like?"

"I have an aunt and uncle living here in town, and so do my husband's parents."

He said, "Do you have a real grudge?"

"No," she replied, "We have a two-car carport and have never really needed one."

"Please," he tried again, "is there any infidelity in your marriage?"

"Yes, both my son and daughter have stereo sets. We don't necessarily like the music, but the answer to your questions is yes."

"Ma'am, does your husband ever beat you up?"

"Yes," she responded, "about twice a week he gets up earlier than I do."

Finally, in frustration, the judge asked, "Lady, why do you want a divorce?"

"Oh, I don't want a divorce," she replied. "I've never wanted a divorce. My husband does. He said he can't communicate with me!"

I was talking on the phone to someone in Spanish and he said "Oye..." and something that sort of sounded like nena. I know the Spanish term of endearment "nena" but what he said honestly sounded more like "lena" or even "elena" or something slightly different. Then again, the connection is really bad (he's in a 3rd world country) and it's difficult to hear/understand so maybe it was just nena.

He said the phrase "oye -whatever he said-" comes from a song.

Sooooo.... anyone have any guess what it could have been if it wasn't nena? Or was it almost for sure nena? Anyone know what song it may have been?

Thanks!!!

Are there people who simply have no sexual prefrences? They're not interested in same sex nor opposite sex? Essentially their natural disposition is not being interested in any sex? Does this exist? And, if so, what's it called?

Even though I am strong in my beliefs, I respect people of other faiths and those of no faith. Why can't more people just agree to disagree?

She was young and had her whole life to look forward to and yet she took her own life. She was my friend we even had something, we never went out but still. I can't say for sure why she did what she did, but I do know that her mom was abusive and she felt like she was alone. There was nothing I could do physically because she was a friend on myspace, but i still feel bad because i feel like i should have done more. Will anyone join me and pray for her?

you send someone a Christmas card and they don't send one in return?

And at what point would you remove someone from your Christmas card list?

Can you please give me a few direct scriptures that support the idea of the trinity without leaving any doubt?
Please write them out if you could, including the verse before and after the one that supports this.

I am having trouble understanding why you adhere to this particular church due to their corrupt and inept handling of their members.

Don't you think guilty priests should be expelled, instead of being protected and transferred? And Hundreds of Millions of dollars from donations have been used to settle these cases.

Why do you stay? You don't need to be affiliated with the Catholic Church to be a Christian.

During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the vicar with an unusual offer. "Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to me and the part where I'm to promise to 'love, honor and obey' and 'forsaking all others, be faithful to her forever,' I'd appreciate it if you'd just leave that part out."


He passed the clergyman the cash and walked away satisfied.

The wedding day arrives, and the bride and groom have moved to that part of the ceremony where the vows are exchanged. When it comes time for the groom's vows, the vicar looks the young man in the eye and says, "Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?"

The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, "Yes."

The groom leaned toward the vicar and hissed, "I thought we had a deal."

The vicar put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, "She made me a much better offer."

Do you consider yourself to have a spiritual aspect to your life? Maybe like a sense of 'oneness with the cosmos'.

Do you still think it possible that a part of you/your consciousness continues after death in spite of the non-existence of a heaven and hell?

Thanks :-)

Is the spirit or power of Allah inside you that gives you life and at the same time a direct link to Allah or are you, as a human, separated from Allah?

I've somehow managed to make my life work out for me and it's pretty easy. However, most of it is because my partner is well off. So, everytime I face my still-struggling through grad school and being jaded peers, who now see me driving a new car,buying designer clothing, getting work done, and living it up, and not even working myself, they get hateful, call me a loser, and basically, all the nastiest remarks and hatred come out, because they think that everyone in society should be like "mary and joe smith," working a job or two, and complaining and having it hard.

Since I found out how to make my life easy and glamorous, while 90% of humanity has it hard, they now hate me for doing so, like I'm some sort of a trader or a bad person or something.

Why must people judge you so harshly and what not?

Just because I currently do not work, does NOT mean that I won't in the future.

Do the people that judge you negatively do so for your own good, or because of resentment?

... we all have changed ours ourselves?

Many of you were atheists and now are religious;
Many of you were religious and now are atheists;
Many of you were skeptical and now believe in something;
Many of you lost the faith on the way;
Many of you have been changing the belief several times (like me);

So why not respect those with different point of view, when we've been there before, or we might be there one day?

A married couple was in a terrible accident where the woman's face was severely burned. The doctor told the husband that they couldn't graft any skin from her body because she was too skinny. So the husband offered to donate some of his own skin.

However, the only skin on his body that the doctor felt was suitable would have to come from his buttocks.

The husband and wife agreed that they would tell no one about where the skin came from, and requested that the doctor also honor their secret. After all, this was a very delicate matter.

After the surgery was completed, everyone was astounded at the woman's new beauty. She looked more beautiful than she ever had before! All her friends and relatives just went on and on about her youthful beauty!

One day, she was alone with her husband, and she was overcome with emotion at his sacrifice. She said, "Dear, I just want to thank you for everything you did for me. How can I possibly repay you?"

"My darling," he replied, "I get all the thanks I need every time I see your mother kiss you on the cheek."
