  What is something that you consider attractive, and unattractive?

  by free2beme in

  in human sexuality, we all have things that turn us on and things that turn us off, things that attract us and things that don't.

  often people think it is all about what you see in advertising, but often it is smaller things we think less of and yet it dominates our sex drive.

  for example, in a case study we did, we found that a lot of people would immediately answer things like "eyes" or "legs" and yet as we drove deeper into their answers, we found that eyes and legs were not what attracted people.

  free2beem,
  
  I don't think you were including instant attractions. Anyway we all know the usual parts men like and don't forget the "golden" 0.7 waist/hip ratio.
  
  Too maintain my interest long term I definitey like kindly women that care about others and have a good level of intelligence for long chats about anything. Exhibit femininity. Must be one that accepts her role as a woman and without any pretentions that men and women are the same( equal yes but definitely not the same).
  Although I like women with a good sense of humour, I find that I never match with them, so far 100% of the time.

  darkuncle,
  
  "Please don't hate all americans because of our leaders. Has democracy been hyjacked, and is it beyond the controls of the populace?"
  
  We really don't. I just dispise the cocky smug b*stards that are willing and egg on the US government to create death and destruction to innocent people for the sake of resources and world hegemony. These are sick people whether they are politician, media or voting public.

  Was Jesus predestined to die?

  by ringo5 in

  2. friends

  according to wts, the first prophecy in the bible (gen 3:15) applies to jesus and was partially fulfilled when the he died on the cross stake.

  so how did jesus or anyone that had anything to do with his death have any freewill if he was predestined to die?

  say the jews had decided they kinda liked him or thought he was at least entertaining and decided to let him hang around?

  Deeskis,
  The reason it doesn't make sense to you and me is because it was written by men that had a very spiteful vengeful character to their culture. They literally believed that they were God's gift to the earth and that they had to kill everybody out of Canaan including women and children.

  "IMO if the US wants to have a moral or ethical stand on this we shouldn't be using nuclear power or producing nuclear weapons."
  
  In reality the US is not interested in a moral or ethical stance, their interest is in world domination of resources. An Iran with nukes probably puts paid to that dream.
  Also if they were ethical about nukes they would never have given the Israelis nuke technology.

  Sad emo,
  
  So basically their attitude is I'm not going to go there to die but if my lottery comes up, so be it, I'll be going to the highest heaven anyway so it's all good.

  "I thinks it's a matter of the amount of people that are there. Millions show up and problems happen. It's sad but happens."
  A muslim said to me that many muslims consider it a privilege to die at the hadj. It's usually the older people that have this wish. I don't know what the official view is. And I don't know if people go there secretly wishing to get trampled to death.

  gaiagirl,
  
  " And because this was all Gods plan, Judas and Herod and all the others who helped God carry out his plan are GUILTY of something BAD? If God really IS Love, as claimed, why could he not simply say "I forgive you"?
  "
  
  I never understood the ransom story. It smacks of the man made urge to pay up for something. I think you are right, "I forgive you" would have suffice, considering God is meant to be all loving, which of itself is a contradiction because if your read the OT, you'll see that Jehovah might as well be beelzebab.
  
  "Was Jesus predestined to die?"
  I remember being told by a JW that had the Jews accepted Christ His kingdom would have started in jerusalem 2000 years ago and he would have stuck around long enough for his kingdom to be established. That implies that he wasn't predestined to die and we would never have been born.
  But then again giving up his body at the end of his mission could have sufficed as a ransom.

  prophecor,
  
  "Spectrum, regretably, I must agree with your perspective. I didn't begin this as a " Lets Go Kick Some Iraninan @$$ next ",
  "
  
  Ok sorry, I misunderstood you. I sensed glee in phrasing of your title but I was wrong. However everything I said still stands for those that take that ignorant nationalistic stance.
