yambucket I think your statement to be very generalized. I my experience of living in 4 southern US states over the past 28 years I've found just the opposite to be true: people in general believe their religion to be infallable to the point that they will judge others...

yambucket "The person on the cross was not Jesu." (I'm paraphrasing) In my opinion the person on the "cross" was not "Jesu" in the definition that he was not "G-d made flesh" but a prophet that had learned to wield the power of G-d's name to do miracles. He (Jesu)...

School life is sweet and bitter, full of joyfulness and sadness. Some students study hard for a goal, mainly academic goal; some just take their time to enjoy the schoolhood. When I was in school, I used to be a top student in...

yambucket Indeed I would. When I originally began my college career (I was 17), I studied hard and made nearly all A's but I avoided social functions and wasn't involved in any extracurricular activities. I regret that now, and not just because participating in such...

yambucket It has been my experience that kids predominantly text because it's ultimately private (no being overheard), quick, and it's not limited by proximity. I don't know any kids who text as a form of rebellion... As an adult (2 years from 30) I and my friends...

I just wondered how many of you are for or against the death penalty and what are your reasons for your choice? I am personally against it, no-one is better for taking someone else's life whether they are guilty or not. These...

yambucket I am for the death penalty. It is a logical action in my opinion; you say the reason you don't like the death penalty (pardon my paraphrasing) is because we don't have the right to take their life and they should suffer for the rest of their lives. The problem...
