Thank you so much, that means a lot to me! I just want to clear up one more thing. I hate to be nit picky especially when everyone has been so positive on this thread. I was just going to let this go, but you're like the third person who has said this so I am just going to share one more thing.

Well thanks for shitting on the unicorn.

Thanks, that means a lot to me! :)

I just have to give you props for amazing grace and calm during this thread. :-)

Of course, the purpose of the salah is to praise God, where as the purpose of dua is to ask for things you want. During salah, we recite verses of the Qur'an and bow to God. I will insert a youtube video because it's kind of hard to explain the process (

Yes and no. Sometimes during group prayers people are running around and doing a bunch of other things, people come in late and leave early. For the five daily prayers especially people just pop in and out when they have time, but it is sometimes more noticeable during Friday prayer and during the nighttime prayers in…

Hi, I think I can answer some questions about the not praying on your period one.

But is it gluten-free?

Black president - who is powerless to do anything on state levels - calls out conservatives in states, and states circle the wagons and become even more entrenched in their backwardness.

Oh, yes. It would be much better for LGBT for Obama to vacate the White House and leave it to the likes of Romney and McCain. I mean, they wouldn't have appointed Sotomayor and Kagan to the Supreme Court, DOMA and DADT would still be in force.

No, it's just a terrible headline and a terrible interpretation of the science. He's just saying the traits themselves are similar, not that the traits are inherently autistic traits. That's just the terrible, terrible science reposting on this site shining through.

....Did you really just say white people go to jail for drugs, ask Lindsay Lohan? Do you have any idea how stupid that statement is? Lohan has received an incredible amount of leniency from judges. She has spent HOURS in jail. Not days or months.

I thought that too! The Simpsons at its absolute WORST is nowhere near as offensive and unfunny as anything Seth MacFarlene does.

E! is reporting $4.5m, not including the $2.5m fine he got from the CA Coastal Commission.

Drinking from water bottles is ridiculously expensive (compared to tap or ground water) and a HUGE waste of plastic. Just stop it!

Homeopaths?
