Resolved Question: True or False: God hates the sin but not the sinner?

I often hear people use the phrase, God hates the sin not the sinner. Is that entirely and universally true? Consider the following verse Luke 13:5 "unless you repent, you will all likewise perish." “Repent or Perish” forces people to ponder seriously the popular slogan, “God hates the sin and loves the sinner.” Is a necessary repentance consistent with “God loves the sinner?” If God loves the sinner while he is alive, it is strange that God sends him to hell as soon as he dies. God loves the sinner to death? Loves him to everlasting torment? more

Resolved Question: Does he like me? (10 points)?

If you don't feel like reading all of this, skim through or read only a few paragraphs. I'd really appreciate it if you read the whole thing though. Okay, so this guy rides my school bus. I was running for student council and my slogan was really catchy, and I had made stickers that had my slogan on them. This girl (she doesn't have a crush on him and he doesn't have a crush on her her) taped one of my stickers on his backpack for fun. He ended up knowing my slogan and whenever I see him he yells it out. (even though the election was like 3 months ago) I have to see him every other day because his homeroom is where I have to go every other morning to put my instrument in. Whenever he sees me he yells out my slogan and even though i say he's annoying, I secretly really like it. One time I was on the bus, and I looked over at him and he was staring at me. I tried an experiment. When I saw him staring at me, instead of looking away i continued to stare into his eyes. After about 2 seconds i stopped because it was too terrifying. He just kept staring. He has a snobby girlfriend that I heard he regrets going out with, so I feel i have a chance with him. On the bus sometimes my friend and I bother/talk to him and his friend. Also on facebook a couple of times he typed in my slogan to me. He's really funny but is sometimes quiet like me. In case you guys were wondering, my friend said I was probably the 2nd (if not 2nd, 3rd) most popular girl on our team. (Our school split our grade into 3 teams, about 90 people per team. You can only have the same classes with people on your team, so usually you only interact with people on your team). Also my best friend said that a lot of guys like me. I'm single right now, and in a lot of cases (in my school) the guys who like the girls don't have the guts to ask the girl out. Does he like me? 10 points to most thorough answer :)i'm in junior high...our version of "dating" is saying you're going out, but not really going out.

Resolved Question: GWS: Do you agree with this essay, "If Black Women Were White Women"?

Black women would represent value, purity, and based on their natural traits; be worthy of protection and instantly become the objects of universal desire. White women would represent the opposite. “Beauty tar potion” would become globally popular to get the “black look”. “Dove” would be replaced with a black soap called “Raven” to help exfoliate the skin and bring out subtle hints of melanin. White female features would be declared violent. Their “jagged” thin lips, “knife sharp” noses, and “harsh” jaw lines would be nature's way of declaring why men have a natural preference for the soft features of black women. Soft lips, soft cheekbones, and soft round noses would be proof of natural femininity. Full pink lips and large dark eyes would become associated with virginal black girls, whose purity must not be compromised. Black female features would thus be said to represent youth. Straight blond hair would be considered “wild and unruly” because when the wind blows, it does not stay in place. Women with natural straight hair would hide their “unruly” and “wild” stick-straight hair in public. The desire for “Lightweight hair” that defies gravity would permanently end the use of blow dryers. Keeping ones natural blond hair wild and straight would become indicative of a political statement. The anti-aging properties of black female skin combined with soft curvy bodies would be proof of the overall reproductive health of black women. Scientists would argue that black women are naturally preferred as long term mates and mothers because they are “healthier”. Men’s attraction to women is based on overall health and fertility, after all. Suddenly biracial women would be “in” because the hard features of white women didn’t prevent the fragile genes of “black beauty” from peeking through. Men would suddenly have the desire to date “ethnic” non-black women since they look “closer to black” than blond women, and at least they don’t look like white women. Statistics would equate the fact that white women make up the majority with their “overpowering” and “strong” population. This would be proof that they can handle unsafe neighborhoods, as they have created a “strong culture” amongst themselves to withstand their lack of protection from predators and criminals. Statisticians would argue that men are attracted to black women innately because they make up a small percent of the population. “We tend to value what is rare” they might say. Men would proclaim that white women deserve sexual objectification because “flat buttocks” allow for deeper penetration. In ghettos across America, men would stand on street corners and yell “Damn! You got a flat azz!” to remind white women of their sexual status in society. Upper class women would be afraid that their “azz looks flat” and therefore assumed to be animalistic and sexually deviant, like white women. Black women’s buttocks, said to protrude farther from the body, would prove that their natural vulnerability makes them “less equipped” to handle hardcore sex and rape, like white women. “I need a strong white woman!” would become a popular “empowering” slogan for exploitative men who rationalized the emotional, financial, and sexual overburdening of white women. Overweight white nannies would become the “acceptable white women” in popular culture as they do not pose a threat to black female superiority and privilege. Conventionally attractive white women would serve as a sexual threat to black women for single-handedly breaking down the beauty hierarchy. Hip Hop videos would feature men throwing money at “white b*tchez” bent over in front of the camera to showcase their white asses, eager for deep penetration. Entire songs would be devoted to hatred of “white gold digging b*tchez” who think they are entitled to the financial security in marriage that black women are entitled to. “Penetrable white asses” and “pale-faced hoes” would become the cash-commodity for selling entire musical genres. White women’s “hard” bodies would be deemed more “capable” of fighting off sexual attackers, and the soft curves of black female bodies would become worthy of law enforcement. White women; in spite of their high risks for violence and sexual crimes, would not “need” police protection. Movies would feature black women as the main objects of men’s desire across racial lines, while stereotypes of evil bitter and oversexed white women would further prove why men of all races simply did not prefer blondes. We can’t help who we’re attracted to, men would say. “Preference” would become an unconcealed acceptance of discrimination against white women. White women’s anger and sadness at the status quo would be proof of their unreasonable jealousy of the innate superiority of black women. Republicans would ban abortions to protect the virtue of pure black motherhood, and liberals would advocate for more abortion clinics in “low income” neighborhoods where whiteMovies would feature black women as the main objects of men’s desire across racial lines, while stereotypes of evil bitter and oversexed white women would further prove why men of all races simply did not prefer blondes.

Voting Question: Proofread research paper please? Ten points!?

These are my first 4 paragraphs. Thanks! The Beauty and Grace of Rock City Planet Earth is full of many marvelous, majestic landscapes. Rock City, located in the Chattanooga area of Tennessee, is a landscape that has a lot to boast for. Located on a breathtaking mountain, Rock City has astonishing views and breathtaking scenery. However beautiful, the landscape is not the only detail Rock City has to boast for. A great place to explore and have fun, this tourist attraction is also brimming over with centuries full of history. It was founded by a couple in the early nineteenth century. They contributed to the most popular attractions in Rock City and helped create it into what it is today. Its rich history, however, begins before this. Rather, it starts way back when few people even inhibited Rock City. According to the earliest known history of Rock City, Native Americans were the first to settle in this area, later to be followed by visiting missionaries. Later, in the 1800’s, Rock City became a battleground when a Civil War was briefly fought on this location. The history of Rock City, deep and thrilling, is an interesting part of its culture. Long before it was a tourist attraction, Rock City was the home to Native Americans. Most historians believe that primarily the Creek and Cherokee tribes inhabited this area. Matter of fact, a popular Cherokee chief, John Ross, lived in this area in the 1800’s. He became chief to the Cherokee Nation in 1827. Impressively, when the Indian Removal Bill was passed a few years later, Ross’s fight against Georgia’s land lottery begin the first of many political battles. Unfortunately, he still had to walk the Trail of Tears with his people. Much later, in 1863, the Battle of Lookout Mountain during the Civil War occurred in this area. Ulysses S. Grant, the Union commander, ordered his soldiers, “to storm lookout Mountain”( U.S. Civil War Photographs). Eventually, the Union pushed back the Confederates and took complete control of the mountain. Once the Confederates gave up, the Union soldiers, “climbed to Point Lookout and planted the U.S. flag” (U.S. Civil War Photographs). One of the Union officers made a remark in a “diary entry saying that one could see seven states from the summit at ‘the Rock City’” (History of Rock City). After the completion of this battle, however, there was nothing in Rock City in which to hold the interest of the general population. For many years, Rock City was seemingly unknown to many people except for its few inhabits, hikers, and some geologists. However, Rock City had a greater fate: it would not forever be forgotten, rather it would rise as a well-known tourist attraction all over the United States. This is thanks to a humble man named Garnet Carter who would one day rise to fame and popularity. Carter, married to Frieda Carter, begin to take part in a recently developing community called Fairyland in Lookout Mountain in 1924. He began to build a golf course. However, this would not be any ordinary golf course. Because it was taking too long to build, he instead designed the first known miniature golf course called “Tom Thumb Golf Course.” Meanwhile, Mrs. Carter took on a new project of her own. Deeply passionate about nature, she decided to form the Rock City Gardens. Bravely, on her own, she, “took a ball of string and marked a trail winding through the giant rock formations all the way out to Lover’s Leap.” (History of Rock City). This amazing feat and show of determination impressed her husband. Carter began to help her. With his help, Rock City Gardens was officially opened on May 21, 1932. Initially, it was not huge success. Rock City, nestled in the mountains, was extremely hard to find. Hence, the famous, bright, red barns with the slogan, “Come see Rock City”, was created. Carter, an obviously intelligent man, hired Clark Byers to paint signs on the roofs of barns along many highways. The majority of these signs read, “Come see Rock City.” Conveniently, some of the signs, “told the mileage to Rock City, the best highway, or some simply bore the slogan. The signs could be found as far north as Michigan and as far west as Texas. By the end of the 1930’s the signs paid off, and more people than ever visited Rock City Gardens” (History of Rock City). These are now seen as not only part of the rich history of Rock City, but also as part of the southern culture. However, the number of these barns are now dwindling. There use to be about 900 of these. Now, about 74 years later, there are only around 100 of these left. Many of these barns are, “disappearing, bowing to time’s decay or being replaced by other marketing mediums.” (Barn History). As Byers patiently explained to many tourists, these signs were no simple designs. While painting them, Byers not only had to make his own paint, but also used a 4 inch brush while he freehandedly painted it. These signs are truly a work of patience, determination, and skill more

Resolved Question: Why didn't South Africa have this level of corruption under white rule?

Now look at the article below that discusses how their corruption has resulted in their country mysteriously paying over $800 million for aircraft that other countries buy for less than $200 million. "It is believed that the price went up so that government officials could siphon off large bribes." This is post apartheid improvement? This is only one corruption item in a long and growing list. From: http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htmurph/articles/20091023.aspx The Flying Cash Machine October 23, 2009: Yet another corruption case in South Africa. This time, members of parliament are asking why the military is suddenly paying $809 million each for eight A400M four engine transports. The price other nations are paying for the aircraft are under $200 million each. The price South Africa agreed to pay, in 2005, was about $279 million, and included training, maintenance support and some spare parts. It is believed that the price went up so that government officials could siphon off large bribes. Meanwhile, the A400M aircraft is four years behind schedule, and has not flown yet. It was originally to start deliveries to European customers this year. South Africa is supposed to begin getting its A400Ms in seven years. South Africa has already paid $400 million for its A400Ms, and more progress payments will soon be due. Such blatant corruption is not new in South Africa, but lately the crooks have been winning. Last year, the South African parliament passed a law disbanding an elite government investigation unit nicknamed the "Scorpions." Investigations by this unit had led to dozens of corruption prosecutions of government officials. That's why the unit is being dismantled. Corruption is a major problem throughout Africa, and many nations are now setting up units like the Scorpions, after having realized that corruption was the major cause of the poverty and civil wars that afflict most Africans. But the corrupt politicians and government officials tend to prove very resilient when confronted with the possibility of being punished. Those that cannot use their money to bribe or litigate their way out of trouble, often seek to dismantle the anti-corruption organizations themselves. There is much popular unrest over this sort of thing. In South Africa, the ANC, which has ruled the country since the white minority agreed to democracy in the early 1990s, is breaking apart. The anti-corruption faction is out to start a reform party that will take on the crooked politicians who dominate the government. At least the corrupt politicians are being challenged, but so far the bad guys are still winning. Africa's future depends on achieving clean, or at least much cleaner, government. Revolutions alone won't do it, because that tends to just replace one bunch of corrupt politicians with a new crew, spouting new slogans. The A400M has a top speed of 779 kilometers per hour, a range of 7,500 kilometers, and normally carries about 27 tons. The nearest competitor is the American C-130. The most common version is the C-130H. It has a range of 8,368 kilometers, a top speed of 601 kilometers per hour, and can carry up to 18 tons of cargo, 92 troops, or 64 paratroopers. The latest version, the C-130J, has a top speed of 644 kilometers, 40 percent more range than the C130H, and can carry 20 tons of cargo. The C-130J costs about $100 million each. The C-130 has been in service for over half a century, and is used by more than 50 countries. more

Is he referring to the fact that the nation elected a candidate on a slogan of "change we can believe in"?? Is he implying we're naiive?? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/10/01/sen-graham-calls-beck-a-c_n_306434.html Sen. Lindsey Graham, (R-S.C.) offered unusually blunt assessments of the fringe elements of his party and conservative media on Thursday, calling the popular and bombastic Fox News host Glenn Beck a "cynic" whose show was antithetical to American values. "Only in America can you make that much money crying," Graham said of Beck. "Glenn Beck is not aligned with any party. He is aligned with cynicism and there has always been a market for cynics. But we became a great nation not because we are a nation of cynics. We became a great nation because we are a nation of believers." Appearing before a crowd of Washington's elite power players and opinion-makers, Graham spoke largely without filter, offering acidic takes on subject well beyond Beck.

Resolved Question: Would Thomas Jefferson use these propaganda techniques being used by Zionists to control our entire country?

PMTruther came out of the CIA Handbook on Psychological Guerrilla Warfare Published on 09-17-2009 PROPAGANDA TECHNIQUEShttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/fr/546409/posts“Propaganda Techniques” is based upon “Appendix I: PSYOP Techniques” from “Psychological Operations Field Manual No.33-1″ published by Headquarters; Department of the Army, in Washington DC, on 31 August 1979(from http://www.zoehouse.com/is/sco/proptech.html) Knowledge of propaganda techniques is necessary to improve one’s own propaganda and to uncover enemy PSYOP stratagems. Techniques, however, are not substitutes for the procedures in PSYOP planning, development, or dissemination. Techniques may be categorized as: Characteristics of the content self-evident. additional information is required to recognize the characteristics of this type of propaganda. “Name calling” and the use of slogans are techniques of this nature. Additional information required to be recognized. Additional information is required by the target or analyst for the use of this technique to be recognized. “Lying” is an example of this technique. The audience or analyst must have additional information in order to know whether a lie is being told. Evident only after extended output. “Change of pace” is an example of this technique. Neither the audience nor the analyst can know that a change of pace has taken place until various amounts of propaganda have been brought into focus.Nature of the arguments used. An argument is a reason, or a series of reasons, offered as to why the audience should behave, believe, or think in a certain manner. An argument is expressed or implied.Inferred intent of the originator. This technique refers to the effect the propagandist wishes to achieve on the target audience. “Divisive” a! nd “uni fying” propaganda fall within this technique. It might also be classified on the basis of the effect it has on an audience. SELF-EVIDENT TECHNIQUEAppeal to Authority. Appeals to authority cite prominent figures to support a position idea, argument, or course of action. Assertion. Assertions are positive statements presented as fact. They imply that what is stated is self-evident and needs no further proof. Assertions may or may not be true. Bandwagon and Inevitable Victory. Bandwagon-and-inevitable-victory appeals attempt to persuade the target audience to take a course of action “everyone else is taking.” “Join the crowd.” This technique reinforces people’s natural desire to be on the winning side. This technique is used to convince the audience that a program is an expression of an irresistible mass movement and that it is in their interest to join. “Inevitable victory” invites those not already on the bandwagon to join those already on the road to certain victory. Those already, or partially, on the bandwagon are reassured that staying aboard is the best course of action.Obtain Disapproval. This technique is used to get the audience to disapprove an action or idea by suggesting the idea is popular with groups hated, feared, or held in contempt by the target audience. Thus, if a group which supports a policy is led to believe that undesirable, subversive, or contemptible people also support it, the members of the group might decide to change their position. Glittering Generalities. Glittering generalities are intensely emotionally appealing words so closely associated with highly valued concepts and beliefs that they carry conviction without supporting information or reason. They appeal to such emotions as love of country, home; desire for peace, freedom, glory, honor, etc. They ask for approval without examination of the reason. Though the words and phrases are vague and suggest different things to different people, their connotation ! is alway s favorable: “The concepts and programs of the propagandist are always good, desirable, virtuous.” Generalities may gain or lose effectiveness with changes in conditions. They must, therefore, be responsive to current conditions. Phrases which called up pleasant associations at one time may evoke unpleasant or unfavorable connotations at another, particularly if their frame of reference has been altered. Vagueness. Generalities are deliberately vague so that the audience may supply its own interpretations. The intention is to move the audience by use of undefined phrases, without analyzing their validity or attempting to determine their reasonableness or application. Rationalization. Individuals or groups may use favorable generalities to rationalize questionable acts or beliefs. Vague and pleasant phrases are often used to justify such actions or beliefs.Simplification. Favorable generalities are used to provide simple answers to complex social, political, economic, or military problems. Transfer. This is a technique of projecting positive or negative qualities (praise or blame) of a person, entity, object, or value (an individual, group, organization, nation, patriotism, etc.) to another in order to make th more

Resolved Question: Isn't it a double standard that the right can use Fox for talking points and sources but the left can't?

Isn't that a double standard? Fox News is just as much part of the media as CNN, ABC, and MSNBC. It's not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of track record. Whenever someone supports Obama apparently it makes that person a mindless zombie. What's funny is that the same folks calling them mindless zombies are the people who worship Beck NEVER questioning what he says, or what the News network reports. Isn't this in fact - a double standard and makes you all just as much the hypocrite? Fox News doesn't always report the entire story despite their "Fair and Balanced" slogan which should be self evident - and time and time and again this has been pointed out but those who do are automatically assumed Liberal and discredited. I've been watching Fox News since it started. My parents would watch it every morning before I went to school and before they would go to work. Since day 1 Fox News has been promoting the right side of the political spectrum and they weren't popular at all until 9/11 happened and they helped fan the flame of fear along with president Bush. Is it safe to say that these same people who believe in Obama so much and so dearly are the same archetype as the people who believe in Fox with out question?Mr. Fox - It's a double standard that if non conservatives use like CNN or ABC as a source they are discredited.

Resolved Question: Can you help me think of anything for my speech?

My school is already talking about elections and I wanna try out for it. I was grounds commissioner for 4th grade because no one even tried out for it and it was fun. I'm thinking about being president this time but I feel like I have a better chance at getting trampled than winning. But I'm keeping a positive attitude! I am not popular but I'm also not, well you no not a person who doesn't no anyone. Just in between, many of the pops do know me though cuz of something funny I wrote 4 a report n also cuz im nice 2 them. I need help with my speech, kids dont give a cheeseball about how good u r but its how funny ur speech is, or how it stands out. Things haven't started yet but I'm just preparing. How can I put a lot of comedy in my speech? I was thinking about doing a rap at the end but I'm a girl so it could be strange. I was thinking about being weird and hyper in my speech kinda like Boxxy. She's a famous girl who was known 4 being hyperactive in her videos. I could annoy a lot of people though. This speech is really good should I use it for inspiration? Btw, it's an 8th grade election. Maybe I'm aiming 2 high? Maybe vice prez? Can u think of a slogan 2?

Resolved Question: HELP! I need a slogan for our class T-Shirt?

Ok. I am Vice President of the class of 2012 at my school. We had to design the class t-shirts for homecoming week. Our Mascot is the Jaguar and as of now our class color is blue. The t-shirt has a Jaguar sitting in a space ship blasting all the other classes, 2010, 2011, and 2013. It is mandatory that we have a slogan for the back of our shirt. Can be a popular song. Example. Last year, 2011's t-shirt said "No one on the corner got swagger like us". We would like something catchy and appropriate to put on the back of our shirt. Please Help! more

Resolved Question: Need help? Please read, you never know if you'll be the right person for this q. Help?

kay. (thanks for clicking!) Okay...so I am going to run for VP in my student council. I'm running against this girl who is slightly more popular than me, so I need a way to get major votes. I already have a few slogans...choose between the one that say -OR-. (btw my name is Sydney, but often called Sid or Sidster.) WARNING: These slogans may be extremely corny to the viewer. Don't be a squid, vote for SID! (For VP.) -OR- Don't be a squidster. Vote for the Sidster. (For VP) --------------------------------------… The next slogan i'll use on a poster will include a pic of my EXTREMELY cute baby brother, which everyone at my school loves to death. (I brought him to school multiple times) (pic of cutest photo of him i can find) Look at me. Could you really disappoint this face? Vote for my sissy, Sydney, and make me smile. (for VP) -OR- (adorable collage of photos of him) Vote for my sissy, Sydney, as VP. That's all I have. So vote which ones you like best and come up with some more if possible. BTW, no slogans with any hint of a sexual innuendo. I'd be kicked out of the race in a second. Or cussing. Or a cussing innuendo. Thanks! OHHH! And if you have any good ways to campaign, like passing out baby snickers w/ a little piece of paper saying, "This is no SNICKERing matter, vote for me, Sid as VP." err something...idkayy.Yep...I'm American. And Raven, I'm guessing your British? Or English? Whatever they call it over there...idk we never learned it. :] But yeah. more

Resolved Question: Did Barrack Obama steal Bob the Builder's slogan?

In the popular kid's show, Bob the Builder, when Bob is singing his theme song, and throughout the show, one of his building machines always asks him "Can we do it?" and Bob then replies "YES WE CAN!!!!!" This is Obama's main slogan. Doesn't it seem kind of lame that he stole that from a TV show that is hated among everyone over the age of 5? I think that Obama could have come up with something a little bit more creative. Thoughts? more

Resolved Question: Do you ever wonder if people are going to start calling things like Twilight and Harry Potter punk?

I mean, look at today's teens. They've been calling Fall Out Boy, brokeNCYDE, 3oh!3, Paramore, and a bunch of other popular things punk. Even things like Linkin Park and Muse sometimes get included somehow. Do you think there's the posibility that the word "punk" is going to get so out-of-order sooner or later that the rest of society is going to include other random things as punk? Hot Topic too. Their web page used to be covered by Ramones, Rancid, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, Sex Pistols, Black Flag, TSOL, and stuff and it didn't have any things like Tokio Hotel, Avenged Sevenfold, brand names, and popular non-music related things. Their slogan still says "Everything About the Music", but their page is now covered with things like Hello Kitty, Tokio Hotel, 3oh!3, Twilight, Harry Potter, Converse, and other random things. What's happening to punk nowadays?@ Ash O: I'm fine with Avenged Sevenfold and I actually do listen to them once in a while, but they're just not punk. They're now calling colorful and decorated Converse punk now, which is the problem. It's just that things are getting out of order nowadays. more

Resolved Question: How to be popular! (sarcasm used)?

How many of you people out theyre want to be popular?! Well heres a few tips. Makeup: Go to Wal Mart and buy a shovel. Apply your foundation with that. Get the brightest sluttiest red lipstick you can find! Put so much lipgloss on that dust particles stick to your lips! Your eyeliner should look like you have been attacked by a cougar! If you are having a hard time achieving this look get a black crayola (or Cay-Z-Art) marker and just put it under your eye. Make the line an inch thick. Buy the cheapest mascara you can find! The cheaper the globbier! Those globs attract attention and guys! Clothes: Wear underwear and a tank top with holed in the boobs to school. Make sure you don't wear a bra so everyone can see your breasts! Wear designer underwear! Cause everyone will make fun of you if you don't wear Prada underwear! Wear 9 inch heals! Then when someone asks you to f*** them tell them only if your penis is this big (point to your heal). Attitude: Cuss random people out! Have sex with every guy in the school! Even the teachers! Start a BJ business your slogan can be Anywhere, anytime, you can get a BJ that will blow you mind. Masturbate at the next pep assembly to show your school spirit Go on the P.A every morning and moan (: Hope I helped you allThis is to the man. I think your jealous of my tips. You don't have to be mean you can use them if you want all you had to do was ask (: And Saphire thank you lol I forgot something. You also have to have a ground of friends that look and dress exactly like you! Even if it means dying your skin or cutting your hair!I meant group not ground. I was thinking of ground beef cause I want taco's. Just thought you needed to know (:I thought of a few more today when I was at Target! If your thong is riding up too far ask someone to pick it for you! And itch your crotch in public! Thats hot! more

Resolved Question: What sub-culture do you think I am ?

What sub-culture do you think I am ? People in school say I am an emo because I am quiet but I do not think I am. Here is a bit about me. I listen to rock,punk and metal music. I love to wear brightly coloured skinny jeans with a longish skinny fit slogan or plain top and converses. I hate lots of neon (a bit with black is OK though). I wear eyeliner (only a little bit). I hate the people who think that they are popular and all that. Have you got any ideas please?By the way, I can be myself, I am just curious. more

Resolved Question: Why is religion allowed to create and sell products which are marketed to imitate trademarked slogans?

Inspired by this question about Oakley sunglasses: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090731071052AAflUSu Oakley created a bumper sticker which said, "OAKLEY. Thermonuclear Protection." Shortly thereafter a Jesus version emerged, "JESUS. Eternal Protection." Years ago the "got milk?" ad campaign propelled dairy farming to new heights. Shortly therafter, whole billboards with "got Jesus?" began to appear across the U.S. While the originators of the precursors to the Jesus-styled advertising cannot take Jesus to court, it seems like they ought to sue religious groups that use these to associate themselves with popular products. Do churches that receive the donation of someone inspired by a "got Jesus?" billboard while travelling down the interstate to a brothel send any royalties to the advertisers who originated "got milk?" Or, do they pocket the monies and use them to fund the Jesus juggernaut? more
