With all of the words in the English language, why is 'fat' the most common one used to describe Rosie O'Donnell?

She is many things, some good, some bad. Why, oh why, does it matter so much that she is fat?

I am always cold in office, which i share with 5 other people. One of the other people if also cold, but i don't think as bad. It is late may in california, and i wear suit pants with thermals underneath, 2 pairs of socks, a long sleeve shirt, sweater, and suit jacket. I used to wear gloves, but it is hard to type. I brought a blanket, but my boss said that is "unprofessional" and i also brought a space heater, but i was told it is a fire hazard and i can't use it. I also try to drink hot tea or just hot water all day, but by the time i leave work, my feet are so numb that i have troubles driving my car. I work at a rather well known consulting firm. Any other suggestions?

i live in ireland, the best thing about it in my opinion is that most people are very friendly, people you dont know say hello when they pass you by, something that is pretty rare in other countries ive visited, worst thing is either the weather{ rains a hell of a lot} or the fact that it doesnt have a theme park like most other devolped countries like alton towers in england, port aventura in spain, disney world in florida, france and japan etc.

I love our country but I tire of the obsession with "bigger", as in bigger houses, bigger SUVs, bigger breasts, bigger churches, bigger stores, bigger arguments on daytime TV and Y/A, etc. Is there ever enough for us?

whats so wrong about men who want to wear make-up (i wish i had their guts). i imagine most people think that its wrong but who are they to judge people. people think such men are gay, but theres nothing homosexual about wearing make-up. why is it something for women only?

What has Christ ever done to deserve such hatred. He preached forgiveness, love, kindness, respect for parents, do not murder, do not abuse your body nor anyone elses, ect...
What is so harmful about this? Absolutely nothing. what has happened is that people are People focused, instead of looking to Christ, they look at the people. As people we are all faulty and make mistakes, no person is perfect. Then the whole accountability thing...people do not want to be told what they should and should not be doing whether it's from God and especially not another person. But even Christ himself spoke of this persecution of himself and his followers.
Matthew 10:16
[ Persecutions Are Coming ] “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Matthew 10:15-17

why are so many people worried about " made in the USA." or " buy americian made this or that" we should be worried about the earth. what is better for the earth. not just the little part of it you live on. many people are only worried about themselves. they should get up wwalk or drive to the "BAD" side of town and see how the others live multiply that by 100 and thats how it is in other lower class countries. Think americans life should be more about helping earth as a whole not just your little piece of it.

A survey found that one in three people in the UK believe that women who behave "flirtatiously", or who dress in sexy outfits, are responsible for being raped.

Isn't that revolting...what are your views?

A little while ago i was on holiday in yhe far east.Whilst there i partook in a dangerous river crossing.Our guides carried out a blessing that involved splashing water on our faces 3 times as a sighn of safe passage.To my shame i did not learn enuff of the language to understand all that was said but it appears that they only believe in 1 god.The thing that bothers me is as a Rastafarian have i committed a sin by partaking in this ritual,at the same time i did ask Jah to bless and protect my guides which he did,i`m just a bit worried that i may have involved myself with science(witchcraft)

Watching the Heaven & Earth show last Sunday there was a fairly young British lady and her husband on. She has terminal cancer. In the earlier stages of her illness she ran charity marithons. She has received threatening phone calls and letters from people accusing her that she is not ill. The police have even traced one of the ladies who made the call and had her into the police station. I have experienced a milder case of this. Not Cancer in my case and not threatening phone calls and letters, but people who I don't know whol same as the lady seem to insist that I was never ill. Where are they coming from, why this behaviour strange behaviour?

For many centuries, the western world has been dominated by a Christian-centred culture and 'idealogy', if that's the right word. But it seems that the power of Christianity is waning fast, maybe it's already no longer with us except in name alone. Are we on the brink of an Islamic era in which Islamic culture and 'idealogy' will dominate the world, not just the crazy extremist idiots but the peaceful and wonderful aspects of that religion too? In fact, isn't it only a religion that people feel strong enough to die for that CAN dominate the world?
