I'm curious, what's the damage if a child has parents of the same sex? Because right now I think you're pulling things out of your [wagon].

And again, you're referring to people with homosexual tendencies as a different race! "I have no problem with gays!" "Gays do this and that!" That's like saying "I have no problem with blacks/christians/etc." #-o Thermopylae anyone? 300 Spartans killed thousands of Persians in like 3 days. What did they do the night before? They groomed eachother and combed eachothers hair. Pederasty was popular back then as well, yet they were probably the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen. You just watched 300, didn't you? Spartan soldiers only needed women to have more children. Only reason the soldiers even had sex with each other is because they were away from their wives for God knows how long.

No, being gay is having sexual tendencies to someone of your own sex. What you mention is acting upon gay urges and tendencies. Oops, my bad, it's what I meant. Thanks.

They think diffrently? Who's they? Just because a person is gay, doesn't mean they don't have the same view as you. Being gay is having sex with the same gender. Views come nowhere near a persons private life in his/her bedroom. You got the right idea just worded it wrong probably.

Hmm, some believe it's the way the brain works. If you hear a noise and you don't know where it's comming from/what it is, you might think it's a ghost. The "Fight or flight" response.

No, I'm pretty sure I would rather suffer and stay alive rather than die painlessly tonight. You would rather be in constant pain or taking painkillers? Your name reigns true... No, I value my life. You can't honestly say that you don't fear death. You actually don't care if you die tonight? I wouldn't mind if I'm dead.. you know why? I'd be dead. To leave this world in terrible pain would just plain suck.

ok good point, but im guessing its more painfull.... so you wouldnt be scared of shooting yourself in the head? Would you? Knowing that you won't feel pain is certainly comforting. can you answer with a yes or no? No, I would not be afraid. Can you?

meh, ive never understood that one to be honest child birth is more painful than any death #-o well i duno beheading maybe... dieing inm your sleep... nope.... drowning is the most painful i can think of. well anyways to prove your point, would you be scared of shooting yourself in the head? death is instantanious so no pain... would you still be scared? if so why? You can't compare childbirth to a painful death! You try being burned alive. You try drowning. etc. Again, shooting yourself in the head .. you wouldn't FEEL it, would you. Quick and painless death.

It's not death that we fear. It's a painful death. We fear suffering.

But still very restrictive compared to the western world. I never compared the two, however. I just said that their laws toward women has changed. And shadowfax, my mod status has nothing to do with my views. I'm not a muslim. More atheistic than anything. And my mod status has nothing to do with my views. Edit: You should know better then than to make that kind of comment. ~Assassin

Have you tried meditating? :)

Uhh yes. They HAVE to wear it. Even female tourists are forced to wear them in Saudi and some other Islamic countries IIRC Guess I'm not mistaken after all. Islamic countries are more liberal when it comes to women's rights compared to years ago.

They're not mandatory. Women wear it just so they won't be objectified by the men. Or am I mistaken?

Hah! A good part of Africa would be fine if they didn't kick out a majority of white FARMERS. Ya live and learn. :)

Peace and tolerance indeed. And Grim was telling me how religion isnt bad, only those who interpret as such. How else could you possibly interpret that? Do what the rest of the religious people say when something is obviously wrong... "It's a uhh...Metaphore...Yea..." Or.. people purposely mis-interpret the bible/koran/whatever to their advantage?! *gasp* remind you of anyone? What was misinterperted? It says KILL ALL NON-BELIEVERS. No mis-interpertation there. Who's to say I'd be the wrong one and not you, anyways? I can read clearly, and I can see some things in those holy books are metaphores or worded confusingly, but NOT EVERYTHING. Or maybe it was written to NOT kill non-believers, but someone decied to remove the 'NOT" part?

I work in a factory. By the end of the night, I'm too tired to be stressed. :)

Funny you should mention that when that was one of the first things I've said.

As long as I have plenty of money. Anywhere. With plenty of money you'll get: A nice place to live. All the material possessions to make your life comfortable. Good looking gold diggers, aka, women. Basically, if you have lots of money, all the countries are the best.

I think we can agree that religion is not the root cause of all the problems. I've said it before, I'll say it again. Religion is like a gun. Sexy to hold and play with. But. Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

All those things are done in the name of religion or God, all are done because of unquestioning faith. They're not done by people who say "let's use religion as an excuse to kill some people", they're all done because people actually believe in their cause, otherwise why else would someone blow themself up, if they don't believe in an afterlife? Oh for the love of.. People will still kill each other even if there is no religion. We'd kill each other if our skins don't match, or we don't live the same lifestyle. You name it. It's not just religion they kill themselves for. People would kill themselves to give a better life for their families. Don't be so naive to think that people kill themselves only for an afterlife.

Ragen, those are perfect examples of religion being abused.

I'm assuming the Sharia Law in the UK would only affect the Islamic portion of the country?

Yet again, you were raised to NOT hit women. I was also raised not to hit anyone else, as well as women. I know that western society is still sexist towards men and that women are seen as 'weaker' at times; but still this brings me on to the whole 'violence is not the way to go' argument. I would have a similar opinion if it was the other way round. And Achilleus, try to add USEFUL stuff to the topic. Dracion. It's how you were raised. You were raised diffrently. If you're going to at least knock their culture, live in it. See how you'd feel afterwards.
