| I'm a girl and dresses don't look right on me. They cling to my stomach and butt. I feel ugly because I can't wear dresses, skirts, short shorts and high heels. My question is, would you date a girl who doesn't like to wear dresses? I try not to let fear of never finding a boyfriend because I can d... |

| I guess "anything random" is a good enough thread for this: I'll be off the internet, and therefore away from WP for a while. I'm going to be frolicking in the water (kayaking, snorkeling, freediving, scuba diving, probably attempt kayak surfing*) on an island off the coast of Belize. I'll... |

| Well, yesterday morning I spent so much time posting to this thread that I was later than I wanted to be getting to my exercising. My exercising is important to me because it is critical for staying healthy, especially at my age. So, as enjoyable as it is to argue whether or not there's a magic man ... |

| How is it rational to assume a book is untrue just because it's ancient? The sun, moon, and stars are ancient and have been written about for thousands of years. Is it rational to assume they do not exist? We don't assume the Bible is wrong just because it's ancient. Rather, we say that because it ... |

During the entire period of time when slavery was extant, religion was the bedrock that supported it. Religion was ... |

Is it possible that believing in God is the rational position and the atheist position is the irrational one? It would be if there was evidence for God. The rational... |

| Everyone has faith in something. Even atheists do. They have the unshakeable faith that they are right... That's just nonsense. Faith is belief without evidence, or in the face of contrary evidence. Who told you this? Was it Richard Dawkins or Daniel Dennett by any chance? Was it Hitchens? Harris? ... |

| The existence of God/gods/spirits/goblins/etc. cannot be proven in an objective, "logical" sense. In order for this to happen, this Supreme Being would have to reveal Him/Her/Itself to all 7 billion people in the world at the same time. ... I'm going to disagree with this. A proof would n... |

| I've never wanted to kill anyone over it, and the doctor's office has not been a place I've ever heard it, but in general, people shouting into their phones in public places is annoying. I find it to be most prevalent in airports. What I hate even more is the TV in waiting rooms of all sorts. I'm tr... |

When I was a kid, a neighbor had a mynah bird. The guy would say to the bird "Kiss me," and the bird would say, "I'd rather die."
P.S. I always spelled it mynah. Merriam Webster uses the same spelling, but Wikipedia uses myna. I guess both are okay. |
