http://www.funadvice.com/my/advice/twigy I have more feelings then the Bible itself. I believe in the bible and Jesus Christ. I also have a brain and like to use it. I'm not the kind of girl who needs a boyfriend all the time. But I think I've found something special, and Im loving it. I actually have a personality and I do have confidence. I will love and care about you until my heart gives out. I will treat you better then you treat yourself, guaranteed. (if there's something wrong with me you can have your money back =/) en-us Good Lord, I hatehatehate when people even look into my kitchen when I'm cooking,let alone actually take my stuff and get in my way. -Insertdroolhere- I feel for you. But it is your mothers house so you are limited to what you can do. Try pulling out extra stuff (veggies, cake frosting, dough ect) just for her. Because you know she's going to take your stuff anyways. This way you can set the stuff aside and stop her before she gets handys with your food and give her the extras. OR Get a water gun and shoot her evertime she walks by. Works on cats. =) twigy Thu, 12 Jun 2008 07:43:52 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/sister_steals_food 380691 I have the same issue! what the f*ck right?

I believe God made everything and then because it is what it is, things started to evolve. According to HIS plan. twigy Mon, 10 Mar 2008 08:52:02 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/do_you_believe_in_creation_or_evolution 257613 "That's complete nonsense. Let's say my religion says rules that I HAVE to kill anyone who disagrees with me. That suddenly makes it right? The fact that you believe something doesn't exempt you from the social norms of anything else. What your religion tells you to do is not a valid argument that it's okay to do it." I didn't say it was right? In any of this have I stated that dorrknocking or offing people was right OR wrong? No I havent. I bet you don't even know what I believe. I just said that it is and why the people feel the need to do it. You asked remember? "That's not science, it's anecdote. And the plural of anecode is 'anecdotes', not 'data'." It still falls under sciences and I never named it data...I like how you're putting words on my key board with your every post. "What you did was simultaneously suggest that 'we' should 'stop posting this sort of question' and call freedom of speech on your own comments. You can't have it both ways: Either we both have a right to participate in the discussion or neither of us do." Not I didn't. Are you just trying to pick a fight or are you not realizing what you're doing? I said if you dont want to hear it then dont start it. Hey if I didn't want to read what you had to say, I just wouldnt reply. I can also say, if the people who feel the need to convert people dont want the door slammed in their face then they shouldnt go door knocking. It's not that hard to get. In the end, it's really your choice to post/talk or anything on this subject and be annoyed all you want. I was just wondering why you'd bother. "I'm not debating that - believe what you want - but if you want people to give any credence to what you say, it helps if you make sense." Well yeah, I was never saying otherwise. "Because you raised freedom of speech. I was merely pointing out that the concept doesn't apply here, in a private forum." I was never saying there are not rules. Everything has rules, yet since I or no one else here are doing anything to violate anyone then it's a moot point. Don't blame me for your comprehension. What I said was: Unlike beliefs, [scientific theories] make testable predictions, and they can be disproven." Umm you didn't add the [scientific theories] in there the first time. So it would stand to reason that you were speaking of the subject which would appear to be beliefs. I was going all on assumption there. And there's no reason to get up in arms about anything. "And as a courtesy, can you please, _please_ use quotes when you quote someone? It's really hard to separate out what you're writing from what you're quoting if you don't." Sure I'll use quotes if you stop using the underscore like it's going out of style. twigy Mon, 10 Mar 2008 08:49:00 -0700 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_do_some_religions_for_the_need 257608 That's exactly my point. You can't compare wanting to tell people about their favorite movie to religion because it's Not The Same. It's was just a saying. Trying to paint the picture, then I went one to explain it from a different view point. That of a sociologist. Now let me attempt to answer it from a philosophizers point of view; I have to do what is right for me, and doing what I have to do is also doing what I want to do. So lets say my religion (which I want to follow) has the rules that I HAVE to go doorknocking, where does want end and having begin or are they one and the same? What's your point? Science is a way of finding the best explanations we can for things. The fact that explanations can and do turn out to be wrong, and get replaced with better explanations is a point in its _favor_, not to its detriment. Religion makes statements that can't be disproven if wrong, and make no useful predictions. Science, on the other hand, makes testable, disprovable theories, Thank you for tell me what I learned in the third grade. I didn't say I had issues with science. I am a med student..As in I don't know, science. I know how it works, and really, even religion can be broken down to a scientific matter. Cause and effect. IE: Every time (and I have made notes on this) I turn my back or just..forget about God, as in not having him in my mind as much as I feel I should, I get really lost, my cars break down, I have no drive (no pun intended) and well a host of different little but very annoying things tend to happen. So cause (I lose a bit of faith) effect (life goes haywire) Science. which is a far better way of looking at the world. That's an opinion not a fact. The fact that you, in the same post, both tell me to shut up and tell me I can't do the same to you is priceless. I never said you couldn't do the same thing as me. And I never said shut up. Don't turn a debate into something juvenile. If you don't want to bee to sting you stay out of it's honey. If something in my life was annoying to me, I would walk away. But you're right, I cant tell you how to deal. Also, freedom of speech means you have the right to say what you wish (within certain restrictions), {{Now you're getting into cultures and social norms way different topic)) but it doesn't mean that others have to listen, or that it's a valid argument. Again, I never said that my arguments are valid, or that you have to listen, I just said that the right is there. If I felt like running around saying I would follow a rock because its my god and I come up with logical or even illogical reasons for doing so, then well..That's my RIGHT, it might not make it true, but I'm allowed my opinions and beliefs and all that anyways. It also doesn't apply on private forums like this one - the moderators here are free to remove anything they feel like, without having to justify it under freedom of speech. You stay in someones house you play by their rules. This has nothing to do with freedom of speech, but by having respect. So I have no idea why you would even try to state someone like this. Again you miss the point. My exact words were '_Unlike_ beliefs, they [scientific theories] make testable predictions, and they can be disproven.' The fact that scientific theories can be disproven is, again, a point in their favor - it means that if we're wrong, we'll know, instead of the false certainty of religious belief. I missed the point because you worded it wrong. And saying a "false certainty." is again an opinion .Just because I might be wrong, doesn't make you right and vise versa. and yeah, let me have my faith because really, how does it hurt you? twigy Sat, 08 Mar 2008 11:14:30 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_do_some_religions_for_the_need 254592 Ok I am tired of Religous fanatics (mostly christian) trying to impress their religion on you. The same thing you're doing now? When you debate your beliefs and they refer to the bible and tell you that your facts from books and common knowledge are disputable because of lack of evidence. Nothing can be a fact unless all the evidence points to it. Then it's just opinions. Nice try though. I know Jesus was known to exist. But what the f*ck ?!?! He could have been another guy making peoples lives better. Like Dr. Phil. So in 2000 years when they find tabloids about Dr. Phil is he going to be the next prophet ? Umm, Dr.Phill doesnt prophisize, so no he couldnt be a prophet. He's a doctor. Duh. I see that Christians are scared of death and it makes life easier to believe that when you die you go to a happy place I have no fear of death. Hell I dont think of it at all really. But it's good of you to tell me what I fear. Really you're swell. ... If you look at most religions they are based around one thing, a 'higher' god. So if my books and knowledge are fake than isnt a 2,000 year old book that has supposedly gone unchanged fake as well ? Oh bother, just because someone is wrong doesnt make you right. && What are your books and your so called knowledge? Isnt Christianity another reason to blame their sins on something else than themselves ? Nope. And until you actualy get your facts right you shouldnt say anything. I dont want to hear anyone preach because my prespective wont change. I dont want flames. No one really cares what you want. Don't demand respect unless you're willing to give it. I want someone who can either back me up or hold an intelligent arguement based on facts. Translation: Validate me. When you get real facts then I'll be more than willing to go toe to toe with you. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:11:06 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/ignorance_religion_walk_hand_in_hand 253408 Yes, but I'm not going to go doorknocking to tell people about how awesome my favorite movie is. Well that's you. Its a rule to a lot of religions that you HAVE to talk to people about it. We're all products of our environment, we all follow the social norms of our sub-cultures. So, if people (religious) just stopped knocking on your door and therefore went against everything they were raise to be (no matter your view on it) then well, we'd have more strife than we do now. It's sociology 101. Science really =) "It's when people try to use a religious viewpoint to justify dismissing some scientific theory or evidence that people (rightly) get annoyed." That's your opinion. You're in no way obligated to care what other people believe. Hell, no one even asked. You get so annoyed by religious people and their faith. Then stop doing stuff like I don't know, posting this sort of question? I can't pretend to know everything and I wouldn't want too. That's where faith comes in. Oh and remember way back when all the scientist thought that the atom was the smallest thing ever? Yeah, hmmm until they split it open and all kinds of crap came out. The Pope is suppose to be infallible, scientist are not. Oh and FYI: The United State Congress gives me the right to use whatever I want to dissmiss anything I want. It's called freedom of speech. Google it. I aint lying. Second, scientists don't 'sprout their beliefs' when talking about science - scientific theories aren't beliefs, they're explanations of the way something works, based on solid evidence. Unlike beliefs, they make testable predictions, and they can be disproven. Sorry maybe I should have used a different word. Like um..opinions or theorys..And as we all know, theory isn't always right, its just a starting point. and I dont argue everything when it comes to science. Please I'm a med-student. It's funny how you speak of faith and religion being able to be 'disproven,' really funny, because no one has been able to do it so far. =) I think Mr.Science would have you re-do your theseus. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:57:35 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_do_some_religions_for_the_need 253390 Oh wow, read the bible sweetie because whoever is telling you that is well, their odd. =) twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:36:19 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/christians_and_rain 253352 I'm 25, but you dont want to be friends with me. I covent your shoes o.o IKID. well I do like the shoes in your icon picture thingy, but I wont steal them.

Like Pin up and yeah...So a bob with short bangs or even no bangs and then you can style it any way you want. Or you can go with a layered look.

Yeah I am a stalker of hair products XD The lady should have givin you somthing to get the red out as well, and I like Quick Blue lightner myself, but yeah, just do as the girl said and all should be well. I would also get a really good leave in hair conditioner because your hair might turn out dry. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:51:36 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/advice_for_bleaching_already_bleached 253172 I say for you..Snake bites or a monroe. Don't use alchol, or salt anything..It's all about the anti-bacteral mouth wash, the person who does the piercing will tell you that.

Hair, blood, urine. It days in the urine for a few days, the blood a week or so and the hair, well you can tell up to a year with that test. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:32:30 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/cocaine_usage 253159 Dear Sue; I know I need to move out. That's why I stated that I was saving money to do so. It doesnt happen over night. Even if I could just pack up and leave right now, how does that solve this issue? Sounds like running away to me. I love and respect my mother and we now have a pretty good relationship, and I want to keep the lines of communication open and I'm seeking advice on how to do that without hurting her feelings. THAT'S my point and THAT'S my question. How to TALK to her, not how to get AWAY from her. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:27:16 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/grandma_to_save_the_day 253152 Hm, my son was three or four and we were having a BBQ, well he got too lazy or whatever to go into to use the bathroom. I was filling the pool and I turned and he was peeing on my wall. You better believe I hosed him down. Let the punishment fit the crime. Now for the kid having tantrums..it takes some planing to go outside turn the hose on, drag the fitting kid out there and yadda yadda..It sounds pre-meditated and yeah, it's abusive..mental more than physical I think. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 12:08:49 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/would_you_consider_this_child_abuse 253125 Get a neopet account and some birth control. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:52:39 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/babies_818 253104 "It isn't just to help people find them easier, it's also to help in search engine results." I'm sorry that you're missing the point. Which is well- it's very weird to me to go into my profile and see that theres a question there by me and I don't reconize the title, because it's not MY title. Some people do have a little thing called OCD and yeah, you know I get that you're all trying to do what you feel is best for other people (hence the narcissistic comment) but wouldnt it bold well if you I don't know PM'd the OP stating that you changed whatever about their post? And the title does indeed pretain to the post. (for those who can connect the dots) Anyways I'm sorry that I annoy because I fail to agree with you, I dare say you'll find that a lot in life. I find it a little patchy that you all (as in staff yes?) talk about shutting down my board just because it questions the powers that be. Yet, there's how many "Am I pretty" stuff. I must learn to be a bit more superficial. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:25:57 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/totalitarian_or_just_control_freaks 253078 Well say you saw a great movie or book or what have you. Wouldn't you want to share that info? I have a right to give my opinion just like anyone else. If someone doesnt want to hear it, then they can just walk away. Now heres one for you; How come it's ok for scientist and such believers to sprout their belifes but the second a religious person opens their mouth they get tarred? twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 09:14:26 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/why_do_some_religions_for_the_need 252920 Go to a beauty supply stonre (I like sallys) and ask the girls working there what they would do. I have gone from black to blond no issues, I use quick blue bleach number 40 developer and this little liquid stuff that strips the red out. Sometimes it does take twice to get your hair the right color, so I was suggest dying the hair a lighter blonde then bleaching it. Good luck. twigy Fri, 07 Mar 2008 08:09:54 -0800 http://www.funadvice.com/q/my_brown_hair_wants_to_be_blonde 252838 You need to cry and not be over it right now.
