your empty messages are a wonder. I´ve looked at them in Firefox and Chrome and they were empty. What browser is it you are so attached to? I think both Mozilla and Chrome are pretty standard these days, so whatever you are using is odd.

I find it amusing that you, as a self identified Jew, are offering advice on what Ramadan is about. Only Alllah really knows what it´s about. We only guess.

Ugh, because I don´t want to be forced into using a browers just to be able to post on 1 website. I like my browser I said something about fasting being personal, and our opinions have nothing to do with it. Wether we think people could or should fast has nothing to do with Ramadan. And if you only fast because other people say you should, or you simply fast because you can, it is empty. Ramadan is a month of contemplation and meditation, about overthinking life and your relationship with god. Fasting can be a tool to do this, but fasting shouldn´t be something you just do because everybody says so.

I haven´t been watching much of the Olymics. They sort of disgust me anyway. The Corporatization, the housing of the help and so much about them is distastful.

The athletes look like they are puffed up on steroids. There is little of the grace and elegance of athletes like Nadia, Christi or Oxana. They have become something else. I don´t remember Nadia looking like that.

Look at the difference.

 

Nadia

Now that thing with the extra dot....???? What´s up? The word ZION does pop out. 

Then there is this

It´s a matter of process.....I would not want to be creamated either.

Dust to dust is slower, more energy efficient. It would seem creamation uses a lot of energy and contributes to global warming, among other things. 

If one is embalmed and put in one of those sealed water proof coffins & vaults, it´s pretty anti environment as well.

Every country doesn´t have the Jus soli rule.

Jus soli (Latin: right of the soil), is a right by which nationality or citizenship can be recognized to any individual born in the territory of the related state.  At the turn of the 18th to 19th century, nation-states commonly divided themselves between those granting nationality on the grounds of jus soli (France, for example) and those granting it on the grounds of jus sanguinis (right of blood) (Germany, for example, before 199. However, most European countries chose the German concept of an "objective nationality", based on word, race or language (as in Fichte´s classical definition of a nation), opposing themselves to republican Ernest Renan´s "subjective nationality", based on a daily plebiscite of one´s belonging to one´s Fatherland. This non-essentialist concept of nationality allowed the implementation of jus soli, against the essentialist jus sanguinis. However, today´s increase of migrants has somewhat blurred the lines between these two antagonistic sources of right. 

Most have: 

Jus sanguinis (Latin: right of blood) is a social policy by which citizenship is not determined by place of birth but by having one or both parent who are citizens of the nation. It contrasts with jus soli (Latin for "right of soil").

It is rather complicated......and changes from time to time too.

Idiots... a piece of paper? Ozil was BORN in Germany, so he is German. Simple. The German team would be much worse without him. I think it´s great that Ozil is playing for Germany. A lot of people with foreign roots, who are born in Germany don´t feel German at all. It´s also good that the minister is saying out loud that this isn´t good. Sometimes ignoring idiots is not enough. I hope that somehow they can find these nazi´s and drag them into court.

Well Vineyards, you are the winner in this post.

Women must do something about these beauty contests and the similar classification stuff.

We do not organize painting or sculpture contests because we attribute some value to the artistry behind them. Human beauty must be regarded similarly. In the end, appreciation of beauty is a highly subjective matter. 

For example, I find Bar Rafaeli quite attractive as a woman but I don´t like the way her eyes communicate; I think I don´t find her genuine. That means, I wouldn´t fall for her at first sight if I were young enough since I am quite allergic to coquetish behaviour. Still, she has the beauty icon status in the eyes of almost a whole young generation. In short, the phrase "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" makes a lot of sense.

The reason why the issue with Homosexuals became such an big issue is people just couldn´t/can´t mind their own business. They forced the issue. I really don´t want to know what people do in the private parts of their lives, and I am not into digging and peeping through their keyholes to find out. 

However there are individuals who are born with various gender markers other than just "male" and "female".  Society has to come to terms with this. Particulary in today´s world where we all have been exposed to, injested and absorbed hormone distruptors. Added to that is the issue of in-vitro fertilization which has been found to increase the incidence of human chimeras

"In 1953 a human chimera was reported in the British Medical Journal. A woman was found to have blood containing two different blood types. Apparently this resulted from cells from her twin brother living in her body.[10] More recently, a study found that such blood group chimerism is not rare. Another report of a human chimera was published in 1998, where a male human had some partially developed female organs due to chimerism. He was conceived by in-vitro fertilization.  In 2006 a woman was denied public assistance when DNA evidence showed that she was not related to her children. After hearing of  a human chimera in New England, it was eventually found that she too was a chimera and thus had two sets of DNA."

I don´t believe these people deserve to be punished. On the other hand those who gossip and conjecturize about others should be punished IMHO
