I'm literally Dying of Boredom. I want to cry. I'm 14 and my mom still won't let me hang with friends!?
I'm 14 and I am not asloud to go anywhere alone without my parents. They won't let me hang with my friends at all.I'm stuck at home ALL THE ******* TIME! like so far my summer has been spent sitting at home watching tv and well...nothing. But yet my parents let my little bro and sis go to thier friend's houses, parties and **** all the time. We plan their schedules around everything and I am always stuck at home. I don't mean to sound like a brat but If I didn't have my ipod and the phone to keep contact with my friends I would be going crazy. I seriously want to cry. Its the same ******* thing every day! I wake up, eat,watch tv, computer,sleep, go on a walk,sleep. And for example, when we go to the mall (when we actually leave the house for once) My parents buy my bro and sis whatever they want like purple and red skinny jeans and videogames. But I only have the option to buy my own clothes but I can't buy cant buyt clothes to express myself. I'm stuck wearing old clothes cuz I'm saving for a microphone and amp. I want to be a singer but my parents don't support me. But they buy my bro World of Warcraft ****.I WANT TO CRY! When I sing or something like that my mom tells me to Shut the Hell up. And I hate when my parents fight and drink. I hate it. I hate it!
Does the Quran really promote killing infidels/Atheists?
Those verses are about the abusers of Islam Qur'an 60:8 "Allah does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly." Qur'an 60:9 "Allah only forbids you from those who fight you because of religion and expel you from your homes and aid in your expulsion - [forbids] that you make allies of them. And whoever makes allies of them, then it is those who are the wrongdoers." @Jeannie. you are example of what we are trying to tell you that you just take some parts of holy Qur'an, like 2:191. even so you don't give the whole ayah, I will just give you its context and won't talk any further. Qur'an 2:190 "Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors." Qur'an 2:191 "And kill them wherever you overtake them and expel them from wherever they have expelled you, and fitnah is worse than killing. And do not fight them at al-Masjid al- Haram until they fight you there. But if they fight you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers"
Is it possible for a non American citizen to adopt an American child?
It’s not clear what you have in mind here.Let’s get the obvious out of the way. I am concerned that it has to be an American child. If you are looking to adopt an child simply for immigration purposes, you need to be aware that having a child who is a US citizen provides you with precisely no direct path to immigration by itself. You will still need to qualify by one of the other routes, at least until such time as the child turns 21. If this was the thinking behind this question, it’s simply not going to work.If that is not the reason, then as far as I am aware, there is nothing to stop you adopting though an agency or via private adoption as long as you meet the criteria - a stable home and the means to support the child. If you are not in the US this may be very difficult since the agency cannot easily verify your home arrangements. The other problem is that there are more potential adoptive parents than children especially for babies. This means that manyAmerican parents have had to use international adoptions.Having said that, there is an organistion that helps foster children find stable homes; these are generally older children who have lost their families for some reason. See Who can adopt and foster?
Does any liberal let homeless strangers in their home?
No. This would be an excellent example of terrible efficiency.A large part of American homes don’t have space for additional guests, especially apartments. In addition, a complete stranger having access to your home is a recipe for disaster (what if he/she/it is a thief, a rapist or a murderer?). Additionally, many liberals are middle or low class, and either do not have the money to support another person or have aspirations that they are not willing to give up.Note that there are exceptions.The solution, then is to have an organization that houses, vets, and collects small but multitudinous donations. Homeless shelters (see Homeless Shelter Intake for examples in NYC) perform this function quite well.The questioner should therefore take note of the similarities between homeless shelters and organizations that take care of refugees.Additionally, the questioner may to use “immigrants” in place of “aliens,” as the latter has a … far more common and … distinct meaning. Is "Alien" a term normally used for foreigners?
I had a conservative friend ask me how people can be pro-choice and be upset at children being separated from their families at the border, simultaneously. Are conservatives really serious about this?
First, I don’t think this is a question. You’re just hoping to start a discussion/argument by stating your opinion and asking how anyone can seriously doubt you. I guess that’s OK, but it feels a bit like trolling.But, trying to take this in the best way possible…Anti-Abortion folks (not necessarily conservatives) simply believe that abortion is murder of children, so if you start with that as a given, they figure the rest of us are willing to murder kids, so why would we be upset at the lesser crime of removing them from a destitute family? If you accept their most basic premise, the question is valid.I would respond to these folks by pointing out that you start from the very different basic premise that a fertilized human egg does not immediately become a human, but the common ground you share with them is that at the very least, a child who has been born is precious and not to be treated as an animal.The problem they have with you is, from my perspective, the same problem you have with them: Neither of you is willing to believe the other is a good person who just starts from a different basic premise. Until each side respects the common ground of trying to be the best people you can each be, it will always be the case that you can “invalidate” any position by tying it to the big thing you disagree on.Best to reject that approach and not bother to engage in debate with people who insist on focusing on disagreement instead of common ground. However, you’ll be surprised at how many people are willing to have a good discussion if you take the first step.
