Studies of North America show that 1 in 6 people have a disability, some invisable. Many have a higher rate in women (MS 4:1, Alzheimers 2:1, Lupus 4:1, Breast Cancer 10:1, CFS 5:1, Fibro 4:1). I would like to know what you have learned from your disability or from friends and family with...

I see there is a topic on regreational drugs. How about them medicinal drugs? Are they ethical. Turns out a lot of people don't like those anti-anxiety drugs, they think it is a plot (I read a newspaper article which said that bipolar was a classic example of explotation of getting people...

Well, I had about given up on finding a wheelchair section on here. Odd because I figured that more people on the internet statistically might be in chairs. I checked for a while but there doesn't seem to be much on wheelchairs, or wheelchair church access so far - anyone else in a chair...

In the United Kingdom, certain Christian groups have united with muslims in a last ditch attempt to stop an act becoming law - one which gives gays and lesbians the same rights people recieved over protection of thier religious beliefs 19 years ago...

After seeing this film I would really like this NOT to be a political thread - because there no discussion of politics, republican or democrat in the film. I thought it was a very very interesting film; first because it narrates not only the sort of "media storms" which occur, but also what...

Today was Worldwide suicide prevention day, as announced by the UN and the WHO: http://www.med.uio.no/iasp/english/wspd/2006/wspd_menu2006.html I was wondering if anyone participated or had heard about events. I went to a local march for awareness and noticed that even within the group...

Here is my survey of shojo comics I have read in the last few months that have boy-boy romance, girl-girl romance, cross dressing, transgender or other themes: Vampire Game vol 1-13: Really really good - a reincarnated shapeshifting Vampire king Duzell inhabits the body of a cat adopted by...

A few days ago, after watching a Japanese anime recommended to me by some straight guys called Kano Kari I finally realized why I like gay men. Kano Kari is a fairly popular anime (now release in the US - available at Amazon) about a brother 26 and a sister 14 who have never lived together...

I notice that a lot of Christians are very worried about what they think God has told them (and others) to do or not to do. And while this has a place I wonder why so many spend so much time on that particular section and tend to skip on another aspect: God likes people, all people. God...

Anyone else out there into fencing? After 4 years without doing any fencing I finally moved back to a place that has a club - not just a club but a very high powered club: Current female foil national champion, contender female epee national champion as well as several junior competitors...

This weekend, my partner went down to a collective rummage sale to sell some stuff, including some Christian books. One gentleman said he too was Christian and wanted to know what church she went to, so she told him. "Isn't that the one that has gay events?" he wanted to know and she said yes...

http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=nation_world&id=3627140 I'm sorry but my irony register went off the scale when I found out that the reason men who are attracted to men, though they may not have had relationships with other men but hang out in the village can't become priests is...

In Matt 25:40 - God says that the determining factor between the "sheep" and the "goats" is care, compassion, visiting and help to "the least of these, my brethern". This it would seem to me is a Christian calling at least as important if not getting as much press as "the gospel". So who...

I am probably not the only one who feels like certian people (including myself) could be scripted in on some topics - "oh here comes (insert username) - we know what they are going to say." And yeah, it is kinda tiring. Now I am not going to hide that I have a particular viewpoint that LGBT...

http://www.wfmynews2.com/watercooler/article.aspx?storyid=48824 Since I know both gay and striaght couples in asexual relationships (another relationship recognized by the Anglican church), do you think this is good. Is being asexual okay, or are we only not suppose to have sex until we hook...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hereford/worcs/4277176.stm I was really just posting this as a postive news article, but due to the rules, this can't be posted in the news. It is just nice to see a large denomination promoting the idea of God making and loving people where they...
