I am running a little survey to find out who uses social networking sites.

**Bible:Exodus:21:20-21**

And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. 

Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money.

**Quran: 16:75**

Allah sets forth a parable: (consider) a slave, the property of another, (who) has no power over anything, and one whom We have granted from Ourselves a goodly sustenance so he spends from it secretly and openly; are the two alike? (All) praise is due to Allah! Nay, most of them do not know.

I just don’t get how a descendant of a slave can believe in a god who prescribes slavery. Could someone explain?

just a simple yes or no please. those who do know please just answer yes please do not explain who as i would like to extend on this debate in an upcoming debate.thanks.

Modern western society is too focused on feelings and emotions and happiness?

President Barrack Obama made a lot of promises to US citizens, but will he stay faithful to those promises and fulfill them in his time in office?

over the past few months the big debate besides the health care  debate is the afghanistan debate.  he has spent many months deliberating on whether or not he should send in the troops or pull them out.  what do you think he should do

Throughout obamas presidency he has done some contrivertial and well debated "things" like bills and that stuff.  has he helped the US.  has he hurt the US.  what has he done good, What has he done bad?

Our country is in trillions of dollars of dept and people seem to be split on what to do about it.  some people believe raising taxes will get us out of dept.  Some believe lowering taxes will stimulate the economy and get us out of dept.

feel free to come up with different options.

SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T PEOPLE STOP TELLING EACH OTHER TO SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T?........LOL......HAVE FUN! ...;)

The other night I was looking on youtube for just random videos. I came across this video, and it just stunned me. I was so stunned, I had to play it twice, just so I could understand it. I don't need to say anymore just watch this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMOkDOXAovQ

I understand this video was posted in 2006, so some of you may have seen it already, but please, I want to hear your opinion on the matter.

Well i was watching a commercial for 2012. Nothing special i've seen it about six times before then i saw something really strange when the words "Hidden by the Government" appeared on screen they showed a scene of a door closing on an african american man. now i don't want to be another paranoid black guy on the internet but it seems to me that every time the world is about to end in a movie the president is BLACK. With the exception of The Day After Tomorrow. but maybe i am just being paranoid???? could anyone shed some light on this?????

Here are 2 possible definitions.  If there are more/others I'll move this to a popularity contest.

Definition:

1.  It means that the government cannot place any obstacles that prevent you from exercising your constitutional right (for example, throwing you in jail for exercising your constitutional right).

2.  It means that the government will pay you to exercise your constitutional right (for example, pay you to get an abortion if you can't afford one ).

If you change the definition of the word marriage to be "a civil union between two consenting adults" then there won't be a word to specify a heterosexual marriage. 

For example, if some one said to you "I know this married couple, Amari and Jaidyn, who...."
and we were to use the current definition for the word marriage, then you would know that one of those people is male and the other female (although you may not be able to decide which is which).  If we used a "generic" definition then we would have no idea if they were one of each, two males or two females.

In other words, words should convey meaning.  Otherwise, what's the point of using language?  The purpose of language is to clarify, not obfuscate.  Otherwise, lets do away with half the words in the English language.  We can combine the words that kind of have nearly the same meaning into one word.  If that sounds like a crazy idea to you, then you are begining to understand that my stance against using the word "marriage" for gay unions has nothing to do with being a bigot.

Do you think that being a child is more fun? or do you think that being a adult is more fun?

It predicted the 9/11 crash but should we.. for the sake of hummanity... ....let it continue making predictions, the web bots also say the world will end december 21 2012... many argue this will not happen.

I was just thinking...
