    Hello

    Please tell me...if being "gay" is so wonderful, why do so many of them commit suicide, and why do so many of them use drugs? Frankly, because of messages they get from people like yourself, even if you feel you are trying to "help". They are God's creation. Why question God's creation? Their...

    A person has come to you and says...

    I might say "Cool! What are you drinking? And can I have some of that?" or maybe: "Sweet. At which yoga studio do you teach again?"

    Ban the Burqa

    Quote: Originally Posted by Badran It is complicated. There are women of course who get pressured and in some places even forced into wearing this. However, lots of others do not.

    Burqa for men

    Perhaps we can encourage these guys to try out the burqa in order to cover their horrible sense of style? Wearing trousers that show off underwear is not a 'crime', rules judge - Telegraph

    Ban the Burqa

    Again, from the article: "Let’s be perfectly frank. These bans are outrages against religious freedom and freedom of expression. They stigmatize Muslims. No modern state should be in the business of dictating what women should wear. The security arguments are spurious; there are a million ways...

    Ban the Burqa

    Badran and ssainhu - thank you. It's nice to have input from members of the Muslim faith. And just to clarify - the article is in favor of banning the burqa in the west, not other forms of headcoverings which show the face.

    I don't know about you guys, but when I want to buy nude posters, Sears is always the first place I think of.

    Ban the Burqa

    As Farzana Hassan, a spokesperson for the MCC says: "To cover your face is to conceal your identity. If a government claims to uphold equality between men and women, there is no reason for them to support a practice that marginalizes women." French President Nicholas Sarkozy "The problem of...

    Ban the Burqa

    Stephenw: I don't agree that banning the burqa is in the same category as banning books or stigmatizing pot smokers. I'm all for "live and let live" unless it means "Live and let others oppress, abuse and endanger women". If you read the article you may find that you agree with some of the...

    Ban the Burqa

    I found this to be an interesting and important article that expresses many of the feelings I have about this practice. Just curious what thoughts any of you may have on the subject...... Ban the Burqa - Claire Berlinski - National Review Online

    Emotions...

    Sometimes I am the most emotional (usually angriest or saddest) when I haven't eaten. I have to breathe and think to myself "am I really this angry, or do I just need a sandwich?" So I guess my emotions can sometimes be the result of low blood sugar:p

    Some arguments for vegetarianism

    Thank you for the thread and for putting this issue back in my consciousness. I don't believe that consuming animals for food is immoral, but I do believe that the way we harvest and treat the animals we eat is immoral - pretty horrific in most cases. We are so far removed from that process...

    Myths About the United States

    What? I don't understand what you guys are talking about here. Glenn Beck told me that we in the U.S. have the best healthcare in the world.

    Is Reproduction the Meaning of Life?

    Perhaps it is for the Duggar Family and the Octo-mom, but I don't think it is for the rest of us. However, it could be argued that having a child adds meaning to one's life, or helps one to find meaning where they didn't have it before.

    What is love?

    Perhaps these things you mention would actually be attributed to co-dependency rather than true love or "extreme" love?
