Is there somewhere in the new testament where Jesus says "It's okay to eat pigs now"?<br /><br />Nice Question. It seems like Jesus wasnt as worried about pork as the Jews, or Muslims (would be).

Ask yourself why you dont want to terminate. Understanding this clearly will give you the strength to commit firmly to your finaly decision, whatever it is.

Would you learn physics for example from a Biology professor?<br /><br />I think its fair to learn *part* of islam from non-muslims, but certainly not the whole picture. This is religion, not science. There is also a difference in learning &#039;about&#039; something compared to believing in it. A lot of what I would consider Islamic is &#039;outside&#039; of the...

What are they trying to achieve or what was the purpose of passing this law?<br /><br />I guess they&#039;re trying to uphold their rights. Bars can be dangerous places, and its good to feel safe.

What are your thoughts on this?<br /><br />At first I thought it was a bad idea, then I read how otherwise, bar-goers would have to leave firearms at home or in the car, therefore at risk of being stolen, as well as leaving themselves unprotected.

Dont they realize men find granny panty's to be major turn offs? (if it aint a thong its a granny panty)<br /><br />I heard they are moving away from them because there are a growing number of MALE GenY and body-builders that are choosing to wear thongs. This is unfortunately eroding thong appeal for women. Im sure if you tried wearing a thong, you would be surprised how sexy they can make you feel.

Which one is used by the most people?<br /><br />I think you use the one that is most relevant to the majority users of the information.

Do you provide answers, and if you do, why do you?<br /><br />I sometimes answer them ( always show thought process) , sometimes just hints. I probably feel helping in some small way is better than not. Im generally optimistic of people, and find it hard to see how people could believe in cheating as a way of life.

My guy friend says I should not analyze people in general. (I don't analyze people out loud during movies). I should enjoy life without analyzing it. Is he right?<br /><br />I dont think the analying is the issue, its probably a symptom of something else that he sees as a negative quality / character trait. -Is it mostly males you analyze? or both sexes? -Does the analysis appear to prevent you from interacting in a more engaging way? -Is it that you do it at all,...
