I have nothing against you by the way and have found out on here that Christmas isn't christian at all but taken over by them. (I am Christian but I can believe it!) How do you celebrate Christmas?
Also do you believe that you're traditions are based soley on faith in worshiping different Gods, like Christians put faith in one God?

I was in south africa a few years ago and these are some of the common beliefs from everyday people there.( this is indicative of my travels.not meaning to speak for the entirety of the problem areas, though they might apply)
-the men don't trust condoms,"thats where the americans put the AIDS"they have a mistrust for outside nations with rumor being as good as fact.such as the idea that it was created to kill them off so we could take their land.pres.mugabe of zimbabwe has even blamed the weather on american storm machines and that's naturally accepted as fact by them.
-homosexual sex is just another common aspect of life, not frowned upon.it is given that if they are going to be off ,say in the diamond mines away from their wives they will get by with another man.
-there is another example that I won't write here as some will take it as a joke.
more people should be aware of these things so that a different approach could be realized. ex:dropping tons of condoms wont fix it

People complain about how violent this world is and how bad children are getting but can it be said that society is leading by example? Every other video game is teaching children how to murder/steal/lie or cheat and there are a number of movies that numb us and our youth from a very young age. Several movies and tv shows lack any morality there is, ie: Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Chicago, Zoey101, Four brothers, The Game, Desperate House Wives, etc... The list could go on but I'm guess I'm trying to figure out how society expects us to better ourselves when all they feed us is negativity and things that we arent suppose to be doing?

whats the consensus from the yahoo answers crowd?

are drug addicts bad people?

or do they need someone to show them they can get thru the hurt they are running from?

the addicts I have met will openly tell you about being raped, molested, beaten, emotionally abused.Seems like as a civil society we would help them heal rather than traumatize them further by regarding them as garbage people.obviously you know my opinion on it, and ive helped out with street ministries in some bad areas.

many of the addicts i have met and talked to are not there by choice, they have been covering up the pain of past hurts for so long that too stop running would cripple them emotionally for years, to deal with it and move on.maybe ive just met nice addicts.
anyone know of anyone that is a addict and does bad stuff as a choice?

thanks

Will this planet continue to war with each other, one continent at a time? Africa will probably be the next conflict on a world scale when (or if) the middle east settles down....and then South America will probably follow. Either way, is violence part of our nature or not, will we ever EVOLVE past this?

...is it learned? Remember, animals for the most part do not seek revenge and neither do very young human babies.If you think it is learned then why is it so prevalent in American society, 70 to 80 percent of whom believe in God?

A family member invited someone you absolutely cannot stand to be around for a three week holiday vacation in a remote location.

Considering that the family member knew you couldn't stand this person.
Would you go?

Sometimes, people ask me what do I think about some matters or so, but at the end , they do not listen to me,
Ather time, I start conversation, and ending up that people keep talking without me, like I m not here anymore and no one asking for My opinion.
that makes me feel Faithless in myself,
what to do, how make people care... and respect me?

if I have 2 nokia tracefones, one of which is active and has 479 minutes on it and another which is deactivated and has no minutes on it, is there a way I could activate the deactivated one and transfer some of the minutes from the active one to it? And if so how? Reason i am asking is because I am in college and my father just started staying with his mother this year since my mother moved to troy, NY, causing us to lose the house we had been living in...and I also have to stay with my father's mother when I am not on campus...but my father like always calls me from there a lot and we usually talk for awhile, and guess it uses my grandma's phone bill when he calls me, so she gets mad when he uses the phone, and so he wanted to know if I could give him this other tracefone, but it is deactivated and has no minutes. So I was just wondering if there is a way I could transfer minutes to it.

I mean it was basically a symbol for the continuance of slavery! I live in the northeast and rarely if ever see it around here... but recently realized that people in the south display it with pride. What exactly do they mean by it?

And what do they intend to accomplish from doing so? It seems like it will get to the point eventually where no one will use the post office anymore in search of alternatives.
