the quran also forbids female infanticide which was a major piece of progress for its time and place the way one muslim explained this is that the commandments in the quran are not a straightforward set of rules rather, we must look at how quran improved the world of its time and it is a blueprint f...

The sad aspect is that the diner people's views suggest that the Sentinelese will never be left in peace and eventually they and their culture will be annihilated by mindless missionaries spreading their pathogens. theologically the diner crowd leans towards predestinationism. i suggested that give...

At least you gave them something to talk about!

lol yea that sounds about right

i am not worried, i am not aware of any of them on social media - but there are stories which grow in retelling to all my high school peers i will always be the meltdown girl. i ran into a former classmate that i barely remembered he was like, "I know you. You are the epic meltdown girl. What w...

i first joined PN forum in 2011 - i was 15. recently I went back home for a few days, and ended up meeting a couple of freshmen from my old high school. "so You are THAT Kayla" they said. "we heard the stories about your meltdowns" apparently my fits of temperament are now a matt...

er than it was, even given the 'omg apu is racist!' thing? shit yea I don't know maybe APU is a racist character, to some people, and like anything is subject to the viewers perspective....but from my view, it would be such a shame to get rid of such a wonderful character.. my point was that if you...

Am I the only person who thinks this is all getting weird? People are frightened of saying what they really feel Incase they get judged? As an English man, and born on the 23 April.

Kayla, JP is not so easily cast aside. He is inconsistent, but he provides enough quality content to be considered highly credible by many people, and thus it's a concern when he includes olde worlde garbage like this in his material. what quality content? his youtube videos about 1950s dads are ju...

He wasn't doing it for them. He was gathering brownie points for himself. Shame they didn't eat him--alive, except that they aren't cannibals. all lived around people like that all my life - in rural or semi-rural US south. they - at least most of them - are motivated by "brownie points" ...

what is the big deal with JP? he is not interesting enough to even argue about. he offers old platitudes and weird rants about lobsters. a normal reaction would be on say 'meh' and move on. and yet people really get worked up at the mere mention of his name. Even the otherwise placid Canadians go bo...

my parents made me to go to bible camps and stuff like that, i even taught sunday school for a bit there is nothing in the bible prohibiting someone from referring to a biologically male person as 'miss'. Nothing. anyway who says otherwise is either ignorant of the bible or is doing what the Bible c...

The American people voted for Trump, he lost the popular vote, remember? how democracy is supposed to work when you have large groups that utterly reject some political party and its agenda, this is not a democracy overwhelming majority of black women (among others) did not vote for trump, because ...
