Basically, he believes that homosexuality is handled badly by a majority of Christians, but that it's still a "sin". He says "Though many will try to say otherwise, and there are SOME cases which contradict, but a large part of the homosexual community came to have these feelings through circumstance, much of the time not in their own control. Impressionable children who don't have a father figure, or are abused. Dysfunctional families. Rape or molestation."

What are your thoughts?
(And remember - this is very much not my own opinion.)

Okay, so there's this chick who lives on my street. I always had a crush on her. She's hot.
BUT...
I swear, I thought she was white, but she's Latina.
I had no idea.
She looks like a regular white girl to me, but I just found out yesterday she's fully Mexican.

I am not being racist of judgemental, but this seriously tripped me out. Come on, you guys, you would be weirded out too.
She speaks very OC, if you know what I mean, and her blonde hair is actually natural, ocean blue eyes.

I found out when I went to her house and had dinner with the rest of the family. I guess they do look a bit more true to their roots, but she doesn't.

Any of you had friends like this? Neighbors?

Again, sorry if I sound narrow or whatever, but I was just real wowed.

Just curious, is there anyone here who considers themselves racist? I know there are people out there who consider this a good thing, I'm not getting at anyone, just curious.

If you are trying to appear sexy does that mean you are not sexy in reality?

Women are always encouraged to be "sexier"? Shouldn't women just be sexy and enticing without trying?

Someone earlier posted a question about having gay people leave their homosexuality in the bedroom and not influencing children in the school systems, and giving politicians "real" issues to worry about. Do straight people not realize that THEIR lifestyle is not just confined to their bedroom either?

How about every time you walk out of an abercrombie store with bags of guys and girls together? Magazine articles, bridal magazines, high school proms, churches, wedding cake toppers, gym classes/memberships, cruises/vacations, honeymooners, or when you walk into the jewelry store to get a band or engagement ring for your partner and the sales clerk just ASSUMES it's for someone of the OPPOSITE sex? How about a lesbian with a partner who is pregnant..everyone assumes SHE is straight?
It's not just the gay people who make their sexuality known. Heteros do it too, you just can't see it when you're immersed in it yourself.

grouch in your neighborhood. It does not matter now nice one is to him. At one time I thought he might be hard of hearing(wrong). Then I thought he might not speak english(wrong again). One neighbor said he thinks he is only interested in porn. Could this be, hes 81. I really could care less.

Indeed he has been called the father of history. So why does the denial kick in when it comes to what he has to say about Egypt?

Herodotus states: "For my part I believe the Colchi to be a colony of Egyptians, because like them they have black skins and frizzled hair."

She told me that she's straight, but I like her and I'm not sure if she likes me or not. She looks at me often and doesn't turn around when I look at her. On messenger, she always sends me those "flirty" audibles or those that are in the "China" or "Taiwan" group (I guess that's how you call it) that have the hearts and/or "kissy" things. I have sent some to her, and she doesn't seem to get mad or anything at all.
When she sleeps over, or when there's a sleepover and we're both there, she tries to annoy me and sometimes tackles me for no reason.
I usually send out random IMs and I sent one that says "Who wants a kiss???" and she says "ummmm" and then I ask again and she says "I like hugs better"... I'm not sure if that's supposed to mean anything, but I guess it might.
When were out somewhere and we're walking or running (when there's other people, or not) she's always next to me or right behind me, even if she's tired or wants to stop....

As far as I am aware McCann is a Catholic name and I'm not just saying that because of Madeline McCann and co.

Is 99% of the Catholics in England decended from Irish emigrants? What Catholic family names are there in England.

I always give a best answer...

I can't stand living among people in my age group. Most are loud, inconsiderate, materialistic, shallow and have nothing in common with me. I have a 3 years old daughter and why would I want her to grow up around a bunch of people who thrives on instant gratifications ? On the otherhand, I found senior citizens to be the greatest group of people on earth. They are kind, patience, encouraging and ALWAYS have something to share which will benefit my personal growth. Each one I met is like a walking book and each one is wise in their own ways.....But housing laws and legislations usually does not allow younger tenants to move in. I think this is prejudice and borderline unconstitutional.

I would be interested in reading comments from people of all religions, all across the political spectrum, from all over the world. In other words, people who are actual human beings and not evil monsters. Reading the story linked below made me both sad and angry. I don't understand how any real human being could feel otherwise. Is it realistic to hope that the world can be rid of such evil?

Remember being 12 and you couldn't wait to be 13? Being 16 and wanting to be 18? Being 18 and wanting to be 21? Then all of a sudden 50 was looming ahead?

And now I sometimes wonder where the days and months go.

seriously.i think the entire debate over whether god exists or not is kind of ridiculous and pointless. im a christian but i do believe religion is theory not fact . religion may be divinely inspired -i dont know for sure. but its man made as far as whats printed in a book goes - i believe religion is inspired by god but that doesnt mean that the society in biblical times wasnt corrupt and biased - it was. and i dont believe religion was ever meant to be as organized and hypocritical as it is today.

anyway - my bf is athiest and we talk about what we believe and thats fine. but what i dont tolerate is when self righteous people - ATHIEST AND RELIGIOUS - get in my face about how much 'proof' they have that their side is right. shut the **** up! i dont give a ****. when you die and find out the truth then call me. in the mean time: i dont believe for a ******* second that the big bang happened and we are here by chance. and i sure as hell dont believe being homosexual is a sin...
