I don't think you read the extra bit of information I gave underneath... I was talking about when these things lead to eating disorders, and how treatment is unaffordable to those who need it, and whether the government should help with these fundings.
Hahaha, Oh get real Salmani... you can't seriously be telling me that unless I am of that religion I know nothing about it? How can you even make such a claim when you don't know for sure whether what you believe in is true or not either? All you have to rely on is your faith... and don't tell me otherwise, unless you can show me the facts and proof that everything you believe in is TRUE and FACTUAL (which by the way, you cannot), than who are you to say I know nothing about either religion?

I definitely beg to differ. It doesn't "spoil" they're psyche, rather, it expands it. It opens their minds to a different way of life than other kids get; and come on, if they have two parents who love them, what differance does it make what sex they are? People need to begin to understand that everyone deserves equal rights, and these kids who have gay parents will grow up defending that right and making a differance in the world, where as a kid with heterosexual parents who may happen to be homophobic, will not grow up this way, and may even get it doctrinated in their minds that homosexuality is wrong... so really, what's worse? The kids who help our world evolve by sharing their experiences and common knowlodge having lived with gay parents, and grew up to succesful, or kids who grow up passing on the message that homosexuality is wrong? Homophobia needs to be a thing of the past.
Are you for real? In what way would their life not be fair? They've still got two parents who love them, just like any other couple out there, gays should have all equal rights as a straight couple does. there is NO differance, except the same sex. And there is absolutely no possible way that simply being RAISED by two gay people will make someone turn gay... you can "turn" gay. its biologically programmed into you.
Why the hell shouldn't they? My friend was raised by two gay guys, and he's the straighest man I know! It's not something that "rubs off on you", for gods sake people. Infact, he had the coolest parents I know! Every single person in this world deserves the same equal rights as the next, no exceptions. We all need to except that.
Well, I lived in Alberta, and the drinking age IS 18, and the province isn't up in flames... infact, all of Canada, incase you weren't aware, is either 18, or 19. If you are allowed to vote, allowed to purchase a gun, allowed to not be under gaurdianship, and gamble, and purchase porn... then yes, you should be allowed to drink, I think it's ridiculous to have the drinking age at 21!
Please, do tell what marriage is to you then? Aparently you know better than a couple who has made the decision to get married and have it not work out?
And okay, let me get this straight... You're telling me that I was not raised well because my parents didn't "stop" me from having pre marital sex while under gaurdianship? My parents gave me all the necessary information I needed to know what I was getting myself into and made sure I was well protected. If my parents told me I wasn't "allowed" to have pre marital sex, I would have done it anyways, but I would have been less informed, and probably less protected. It's BECAUSE my parents allowed it, that I was safe. They couldn't have stopped me. And i'm no exception, most kids are having pre marital sex! And what i'm getting at is, the best we can do for them, is inform them, and make sure they're protected... kids are natural rebellions! Tell them no, and they will do it. Pre marital sex is a thing of the past, people need to except that so that more of our young generation can be informed!
Why try to get young kids interested in religion? Let them decide on their own on their own beliefs in time, don't doctrinate a particular religion on someone of young age, they are easily impressionable and it's an unfair way of pushing your own beliefs on them. They'll decide what they want to believe in in due time.
Not a chance. In fact, what makes us women any different when it comes to men fucking women over, and us doing the same? I know plenty of women who use men for money, who tease them, or even use them for casual sex. (the man falls in love with the woman he's sleeping with, turns out she's seeing someone else, he was just for a little fun on the side.) women do it to, just as often, or even more than a lot of the men i know. Just because you've had your bad experiences doesn't mean you should categorize all men in with those bad eggs, chances are there's a man out there feeling just as bad towards women.
Celebrities give people unrealistic ideals on how they themselves, and their lives should be. Being thin, fit, beautiful and rich is something we all strive to be, because it's constantly shoved in our faces that this is how celebrities, made popular by the media, live their lives... and it makes us feel below them. Complete bullshit. Why should they be praised like some god when they're just humans like any of us? A large position only got to where they are today because of their "connections".
If I had to pick my dream way to die? I'd say I'd like to spontaneously combust at a really inappropriate time and place.
The louder the better. I definitely go over board. It actually really annoys me when I'm going for a car ride, even with people, and the music is low... or someone keeps turning it down. I love it so loud I feel like I'm a part of it...Even as a kid, wearing head phones, I'd put it nearly full blast. No clue as to how I'm not deaf.
Of course it should be forced. These people, are CHILDREN, not to say they don't have rights, but they are still under guardianship, in which it's their guardians responsibility to make informed decisions for these children. K-12 is something that all children should have the experience of going through, not to say we all learned a bunch of useless bull shit during our elementary-high school years, but you learn a lot of life lessons...such as your social development, etc. and the odd useful thing taught in class. ;)
Prepare yourself for some heated debates... There is a wide range or beliefs on here. (and everywhere else.)
I would love to be proven wrong. The idea of life after death and going to some magical place in the sky is very appealing. Unrealistic, but appealing. I'm not athiest because I want to be, I whole heartidly believe in what seems to be the most realistic way of how we came to be, and what happens when we die. Nothing. Anything otherwise seems fairy tale to me, and it basically is.
... if you noticed, and read through thoroughly, that was not what i was referring too.
The sex of the person should have nothing at all to do with determining whether or not one should or shouldn't be president... it's whether one has the skills, the intelligence, and the knowledge to sustain such position. Female or not.
Of course we are all unique, no two people are exactly the same... this quote is just stating what we should all already know.
I guess I ultimetly see it as it's one of those "you get what you deserve" situations. However, for those horribly sadistic killers out there who get the painless lethal injection, it still doesn't seem fair does it? It would almost seem worse in some cases, to have them locked up in solitude for a lifetime... So yes, although I do agree with the death penalty, it doesn't erase all of the pain they cause, and it will never bring a sense of justice being served, or a peace of mind, to the family's who lost someone they loved because of this person.
...You are all aware that Joseph Kony is infact long passed right? And even if he was alive (which he isn't), he was never a leader of the LRA, (who was also captured long ago). Notice how the Joseph Kony story is no different from the Bin Laden story. "Lets Go Find This Evil Man Somewhere... in a Cave" Only this time it's the Jungles of Africa. I guess the International Bankers who make Money from War Profiteering ran out of ideas...Also, Invisable Children? Bull shit.
The people of Uganda know this, but aparently the ones speaking for them, the Americans, are really the ones getting paid with donations. Look it up, 30% of all credit donations went in their pockets, we dont know what happened to the cash donations however, but thats almost imposibble to trace. and also, there is absolutely no indipendant African news source that says Kony is infact alive... and every Ugandan citizen is aware that Kony was captured over 20 years ago, look into it people, its a scam... know your facts. Kony is dead.
There was really nothing inparticular that made me have the beliefs I do, it was more so, the lack of things I found believable.
Even if the world were to end on that specific date, if it's already set in stone, I wouldn't see the point in stressing about it. We'd all just have to except our fate, as "worring" would do us know good. But, I think it's pretty safe to say, we'll be okay. (For the most part.)
Of course pre marital sex relationships barely last, but like I said, look at the divorce rates as well. You can't expect these relationships to last, but you still learn from them. I'm well aware condoms don't stop all spreading of diseases, but, like i said, that's why we should keep children informed to make their own informed decisions about what they do with their bodies. I think just arguing against pre marital sex in itself is a lost cause, hence, why I stress it's important for kids to be informed about what they're doing. Telling a child they can't, as everyone well knows, is not going to stop them from doing so. And please, getting married does not represent a persons having responsibility when it comes to sex, someone who is well aware and well eduacated into what (or whom) they're doing, and except the risks they are taking, is taking on a role of responsibility.
No, we would all drop dead immedietly... come on, of course we don't need them. People did just fine without them before they were invented, and so would we, infact, we'd probably be better off.
The party animal, the bad egg, the kid other parents didn't want their children to hang out with.

... I am aware you are throwing out probabilities, (aka statistics) as i mentioned, and my argument is why is that irrelevant? You could throw out these "probabilities" in every argument, but when it comes down to it, you need to look at things from a realistic point of view. By just throwing out these "probabilities" and statistics, your completely missing the facts. They are irrelevant when it comes to every day situations where every single person involved and every situation is completely different than the last.
I'm very sorry to hear that. but my arguement here would be, is the soley because it was pre-marital sex? Or is the problem here with the lack of support on bullying and abuse. Young girls have sex with freshmen all the time, it isn't because of the sex, it's because of the children who are attacking her. Kids need to be informed, and have access to help in these situations, such as with your friend's daughter. It could've went down as a typical, every day teenage hook up, but kids are cruel, and there needs to be more awareness on how to handle bullying in schools.
... Ha ha ha ha, what? Is this question for real?! Um, I suppose for those who are stuck in some fantasy world, I'm sure magic is quite powerful haha, i'm sure it's great in World of Warcraft... But for those of us who are living in reality, I'm going to go with Technology.
I'm pretty sure I would have commited suicide by now if I had to wait till I got married... seeing how I don't believe in the idea of marriage. Although, I don't think I would've made it to 18 without pre marital sex.
... oh come on, be realistic here, you can throw statistics at us all day, and that isn't going to change anything. Marriage in itself is becoming somewhat of joke- if you want to throw statistics around lets look at the divorce rates. To expect any one person to "save them self" (however, i think that term on its own is quite comical) is just naive. Sex is something to be explored and to be enjoyed, it's unfortunate that disease goes around, but kids are well educated on diseases, how to protect themselves from it, and in the end it's their decision, and their bodies. As for the suicide rates, you really think it's fair to throw in pre marital sex as a cause for suicide? Pre marital sex is hardly the cause for majority of suicides out there! And suicide is such a complicated topic on it's own, two people can have the exact same experiences, and one may come out completely unharmed and untraumatized where as the other did not. Pre marital sex is going to happen, a lot, instead of trying to force kids into thinking its wrong, or that they should "save them self", its more realistic and intelligent of us to give them all of the information they need so they can make an informed decision on what they choose to do with their bodies.
Let's be realistic here and all agree that Marital sex is a thing of the past. There is nothing wrong with teenagers exploring their sexual desires... it's natural, and it's going to happen whether you agree with it or not. To expect someone to hold off from sex until marriage is just asinine. Sex is something to be enjoyed, and good lord, who wants to have sex with just one person their entire life? What fun is that? What experience do you get from that? ... and secondly, do you know the divorce rate these days? You spend your entire life waiting for that "special" person, and bam, 1 year later, you're left wondering why the hell did you save yourself for them? It's just not realistic to think that there's only one person in the entire world you should give yourself too.
Ha! This is absolutely a no brainer. Religion! Why? What wars have been created over Science? How many people, in the name of science have died in comparison to that of religion? Ever since the dawn of mankind people have been dying for, and because of religion. Religion is the most corrupt, problamatic thing on this earth, if you ask me... although this isn't just a matter of opinion here, there are numbers to prove it.
... Of course they can exist. There are many different forms of friendship. The friendship you may have between your best "girlfriend" and your best "guy friend" will always differ, but it will differ between each person too! As well as the friendship you have with your older friends, and your younger ones. The big difference here is lust, its stupid to think that lust is never going to come up between a man and a woman who have created a strong friendship, but it's all up to the two involved whether they let it ruin the relationship. This doesn't necessarily mean they can't pursue this lust and not be friends (I'm telling you from experience, my best friend (a male), have slept together numerous times, and it hasn't changed our relationship whatsoever. I still set him up with girls, and him vise versa.) although, it also takes a certain type of person to handle a sexually active friendship. This is commonly a lot harder for women as we're more emotionally involved. But it's never become an issue for me. So, my answer, is yes, they truly can exist, with the right two people.
I personally think the whole idea of pageants is ridiculous. Especially at such a young age. It puts to light these insecurities in them that shouldn't even have crossed their minds yet. Such as weight, make up, hair... shit at their age I was more focused on just being a kid, having fun, learning things about life as they come. Kids should be out there discovering life naturally, not getting all dolled up to the nines and questioned about "life" at age fucking six. Get real. It's such a joke, and it's exploiting these young children. I don't see any good that comes out of pageants besides making kids insecure, and arrogant.
I definitely agree. Boys always have, and always will be, the better of my friends...and hey, sometimes some benefits get involved... even better.
Legalizing pot alone would not end the war on drugs. It would help, but it would do very little to the biggest of our problems on the war, and that is, our organized crime. Our big time criminals, the Mafia's, none of this small time dealers we've got going on with pot (and when I say small time, I'm more referring to the type of criminal activity that goes on with in these drug organizations), my personal opinion would be the only way to completely end the war on drugs would be to legalize everything. This sounds absurd, I know, but think of the lives saved by doing this. Underground sex trades, the biggest Mafia's in the world, petty cold criminals- they're all run by drugs. In other words, its the law thats allowing these criminals to be what they are. If there were no law against drugs, if all drugs were run through a license, and sold legally, there would be a whole hell of a lot less murders, theft, prostitution, spreading of disease, deaths, and for most, it would shut down the worlds biggest criminal operations which thrive on selling illegal drugs. I'm aware this will never, ever happen... but it's worth a thought.
My thoughts on threesomes? They're fantastic as long as you're with the right people, and all three of you feel comfortable.
Have you ever had a threesome? Yes, more than a few times.
How does one initiate a threesome? It's either discussed before hand (in my experience with a couple of drinks down the hatch), or it simply just happens... the right sexual vibes, fun, easy going people, bam.
Would it be awkward? I'm sure it definitely would be quite awkward if any one of you felt the least big uncomfortable, or if one got jelous, etc.
This is by far ONE of the most frustrating arguments I have ever debated. This, and religion. It astounds me how absolutely, and completely NAIVE people are towards homosexuality. People need to open their eyes, this isn't the 18th century anymore, we all need to be informed, and the only way we can do that is if people stop being so close minded... so one way on things. This goes with everything, beliefs, opinions on politics, homosexuality, etc. People who are dead set on their beliefs and ways of life being the only "right" way, are the kind of people holding society back into evolving into what it should be! Someone who is homosexual does not make a conscious decision to be gay, simple as that. Yet all of the homo phobics out here are telling them they need to change. It just doesn't make sense. Get over it, they are not going to change, because they can't. If you can't get over it, then look the other way! You're never going to agree with everyone out there about the way they are or their life choices, but you can't go out there telling these people that they're wrong. Needles to say if you can't except the fact that homosexuality is a choice, you need to except the fact that we all have equal rights.
Are you for real right now? What on earth makes Christianity any better than the Islamic religion? Are you saying you can find absolutely no flaws whatsoever in the religion of Christianity. I think you should do your research a little bit on the history of Christianity before you come and make a comment like that. How very naive of you. I'm a supporter of neither religion, but I probably know more on both religions than you ever have about the one religion your worshiping!
What on earth makes Islamic religion more "true" than any other religion? How can anyone with any specific religion classify there's as "true" and another one as untrue? This question isn't even debatable. The big debate here, which is clearly personified in the question asked, is what is religion? You get into this debate with anyone with a different belief then yours and everyone arues what makes their religion better than yours. The fact is, a fact which SHOULD end the debate, yet never will, is we will never, can never, prove anyone right or wrong on their own beliefs, and it's completely unfair of any of us to claim superiority.
