  • Novice Questions About Spearguns?

    Which spearguns have the longest range?

    I know this may sound ridiculous, but I am looking for a way to hit a target from 50 meters away underwater.

    Also, are there spearguns that allow you to load more than one spear at a time?

    Which spearguns are the most powerful?

    What type of speargun would be used to kill a large shark (like a 14 footer, for instance)?

  • How to prove Meccan vs. Medinan Surahs?

    How can I find out exactly which Surahs were revealed in Mecca, and which were revealed in Medina?

    I see many references to the 14th century scholar Az-Zarkashi, but I don't find any older independent sources that support his claims.

    Can someone point me in the right direction of the reference materials I seek?

  • Why are the Surahs in the Quran presented out of order?

    I am looking for someone who is knowledgeable about the history of the Quran to explain why the Surahs are presented in a different order than they were revealed to Muhammad.

    Wouldn't be better for people to read the Quran in chronological order?

  • Can you PROVE to me Islam is a religion of Peace/War?

    I've had enough of the rhetoric and B.S. from both sides.

    I am looking for some definitive scriptural evidence that proves, fundamentally, whether Islam is supposed to be a path of submission & peace, or intolerance & war.

    I am NOT interested in political opinion or personal interpretation. I am interested solely in the truth of what the Quran says, straight from the verses as they are written. I do however welcome insight in regards to historical & cultural context, as well as underlying philosophical or psychological subtext.

    Go ahead. Prove it to me.

  • Take this QUIZ: "What Religion Are You?"?

    I just got finished taking this quick online quiz, because, although I have always identified myself as Christian, I just realized that I am decidedly more anti-fundamentalist than many people who also claim to be Christian are.

    My results told me that my views most closely resembled Liberal Quaker, Universal Unitarianism, and Sikhism (big surprise to me, there).

    I'd really like to see what kind of results some of you get on this board. What kind of religion or belief have you claimed to have before taking the quiz? What are the top three results you were given after taking the quiz?

    And, yes, everyone is invited to take the quiz . . . Atheists included.

  • When will I finally be able to buy Breast Milk at the supermarket?

    Advances are being made in the field of Human Breast Milk industry, to the point that now, mothers who need it for their infants can buy Breast Milk from storage banks, often with the help of their health insurance.

    All of that is well and good, but what about ADULTS who want to be able to have some Breast Milk with their Corn Flakes in the morning?

    When will WE be able to pick up a gallon of the Good Stuff at our local supermarkets?

  • Afraid to pursue serious relationship with TG ladyfriend . . .?

    I have a female friend (not very close, more like an acquaintance) who is a transgendered woman (male-to-female). I have been attracted to for a very long time. She is one of the coolest, sexiest girls I have ever seen, and I am really digging her. She is a good girl, and is interested me, and I am interested in her, too.

    My problem is that I'm a little hesitant about not being able to maintain a serious relationship with her, especially over the long term. I personally indentify myself as a straight hetero male, and I come from a very traditional West Indian family. I don't know if I could be open with everybody about our relationship the way she deserves me to be. We haven't been intimate with each other yet, mostly because she wants to wait (so do I) until she has her surgery. I'm also kind of tripping out about the whole "not having kids" thing. That's always been a goal somewhere down the road for me, but with her, it will never happen.

    The problem is that emotionally, things have been getting really intense . . . I'm talking about the kind of head-over-heels crap that makes you unable to see straight or think clearly. I'm hesitant to use the L word, but I think that's what it might be. I think she could be the one.

    WTF do I do here? Is this just infatuation? Are we even right for each other? I don't know what to do. I need some advice.

  • Serious Question: Corrections Policies & Transgendered People?

    I was just wondering about the nature of transgender issues and the corrections departments of the various states in the U.S.

    Does anyone know what the policies are in regards to the incarceration of transgendered persons?

    For instance, if a pre-op, male-to-female transgendered woman were to be sentenced to jail or prison time, would the person be held in a male or a female population?

    If this person were in the midst of undergoing hormone therapy (as part of a long term sexual reassignment surgery program, would the prisoner be allowed to continue the treatment?

    If anyone knows anything about how this works, I would greatly appreciate it.

  • Name of "Easter Egg Building" in London?

    I was watching an episode of "Hu$tle" and noticed a shot of the London skyline.

    There, in the background, was a conspicuous shot of a navy & aqua skyscraper that was shaped like a large, phallic Easter egg.

    Can anyone tell me the name of this building and what it is used for?

  • Age Limit for West Point / Officer Training?

    I have a friend who is 30 years old - a very intelligent and capable indidivual.

    He has always struck me as a guy who would do well as a military officer - I could definitely see him being as a very capable General - and after years of my friends and I telling him he should try to go to West Point, he is now open to the idea.

    But he is 30.

    If he ever took the ASVAB, I know he would destroy it - that's how smart he is - and he definitely has the leadership qualities that it takes to be a "leader of men".

    What should he do to try live up to his potential in the military?

  • When did you know . . . ?

    I realize that most people are thinking, "Oh, I guess I've always known" . . . but when was the first time that you were really conscious of your own sexuality, who you wanted to be, and who you most wanted to be with?

    Age?

    Gender Identity?

    Orientation?

    Circumstances?

  • "A governmental that is controlled by a religious group is known as a theocracy." True or False?

    I wanted to ask because there are a lot of people who really don't seem to know the answer.

    With all of the hubbub surrounding the issue of "separation of church & state", I think it is important for people to know their facts.

    Is a THEOCRACY a government that is run by a religious group?

    If the United States were to completely unify the Constitution with Biblical Principles, would the United States cease being a democracy and become a theocracy?

  • Okay, what the hell is wrong with me?

    Heterosexual male, attracted to lesbians.

    I'm not talking about "lipstick lesbians" either.

    I'm talking "beautiful butch" ladies here.

    And the attraction is far beyond sexual.

    It is definitely romantic.

    What the f*** is my deal?

    I need serious answers, please!

  • Is there a law against the U.S. Government playing the stock market with taxpayer money?

    I realize that there might need to be some oversight insofar as conflict of interest might be concerned, but is there a law that prohibits the Federal government (or even a State government) from investing in a publicly traded corporation, in order to increase money availbe for the National Budget?
