    Thinking of going to mortuary school...

    One of my friends went to school to be a funeral director. She's 22, and has a full-time job working in that field and she LOVES it. Also everyone who she has told has found it so interesting...she has so many stories! And I guess just because it's more unusual people are really interested. It...

    losing weight post-breakup

    Hey everyone. So...three weeks ago my boyfriend and I broke up. We had been dating for two and a half years, and I have never loved anyone so deeply...so it is an understatement to say that I am devastated. I have been trying to keep busy and whatnot, but every day is harder. When I am stressed...

    monogamy

    Hmm. I don't think that it's saying that the woman is completely at fault and that the man has no responsibility. It's certainly not the case that if a woman has less than x amount of sex with her husband that it makes it okay for him to cheat. But, I think there is a certain amount of...

    monogamy

    It's strange that Hill says that the problem is that wives are not sleeping with husbands, and presents the solution as men sleeping with other women. Wouldn't an appropriate solution would be to encourage wives to sleep with their husbands (even if they're not always up to it) rather than...

    'God Is Not One' - COEXIST - silly prattle?

    Do you mean that we can coexist because since we are just guessing that each perspective has the same truth value? or just that we should treat others with different opinions with respect?

    dancing....aggh

    Hey everyone. I think this might be something that I just need to get off my chest, so hopefully this isn't too boring (but any other thoughts/advice/related feelings would be much appreciated!) I'm a 22 year old young woman and I just came from a wedding last night. I'm not really someone who...

    So let me get this straight...

    I wouldn't call the marketing deceptive, although they do make out getting the vaccine to be sort of a no-brainer, and that anyone who cares about their body will take it. I've heard one on the radio that went like this: [somehow topic of Gardasil is brought up] Girl 1: "I don't think I'll get...

    So let me get this straight...

    What I meant by likening HPV to the common cold was not only in the amount of people who are exposed to it, but also the ease of treatment in the large majority of cases. In the links I posted above, it says that most cases are cleared up by the body itself, and the cases that are more serious...

    So let me get this straight...

    What I meant by viewing it as a common cold was to make the point that it is extremely common, and thus one doesn't need to take such ridiculous precautions, neither should it have any stigma. According to the Guttmacher Institute "nearly three in four Americans between the ages of 15 and 49...

    So let me get this straight...

    Admittedly, I'm not very well-versed in the political issues surrounding the vaccine, such as the potential conservative agenda, but I don't think it should be called anti-feminist to question the vaccine, or its widespread use. Where I live, it's been marketed as something that every young girl...

    arrest the Pope

    For anyone who can stomach it, there is a heartbreaking documentary about the prevalence of molestation in the Catholic Church called Deliver Us From Evil. I actually wept while watching it. I have no idea how to reconcile the fact that that these people are supposed to be doing God's work with...

    bridesmaid for bf's mom?

    Hey everyone! I have a unique problem...So my boyfriend of two years' mom is getting married, and she asked me to be a bridesmaid. This is strange for a few reasons. First of all, my boyfriend hardly has a relationship with his mom...he moved out when when he was *very* young, they only talk...

    Why Are You Not a Christian?

    It was a Bible study group...I said I was just throwing it out there as a minor thing. That said though, what would your reaction be if a Muslim group was banned while Christians were allowed to meet? Clearly that would be discrimination.

    Why Are You Not a Christian?

    I meant North American Christianity in that it is SO incredibly political, and there’s “megachurches” or teaching of the prosperity gospel. That’s very much a sort of Christianity that is found in places like the Midwest, and I would argue have unsound theology in many areas, being very...

    Why Are You Not a Christian?

    From Wikipedia: I think that Christianity is way bigger in the developing world than it is here. I guess maybe because I'm in Canada it feels like it's a lot more secular in North America? It's interesting reading the different things about how pervasive Christianity is as a cultural force...
