a terrorist attack in Thailand.
I'd just like to remind everyone . . . ISLAM IS A RELIGION OF PEACE.
And by the way, Elvis is alive, we never landed on the Moon, Barry Bonds never took steroids, The President was abducted and replaced by aliens, and I am a robot.
THAT"S RIGHT!!!!!!! Living tissue over cybernetic skeleton.

So now for my question. What's your opinion on this?

Pope Benedict XVI “sincerely regrets” offending Muslims with his reference to an obscure medieval text that characterizes some of the teachings of Islam’s founder as “evil and inhuman,” the Vatican said Saturday.

**An Iraqi insurgent group threatened the Vatican with a suicide attack over the pope’s remarks on Islam, according to a statement posted Saturday on the Web.
**“We swear to God to send you people who adore death as much as you adore life,” said the message posted in the name of the Mujahedeen Army on a Web site frequently used by militant groups. The message’s authenticity could not be independently verified. The statement was addressed to “you dog of Rome” and threatens to “shake your thrones and break your crosses in your home.”
**In West Bank attacks on churches, Palestinians used guns, firebombs and lighter fluid, leaving church doors charred and walls scorched by flames and pocked with bullet holes. Nobody was reported injured. Two Catholic churches, an Anglican one and a Greek Orthodox one were hit. A Greek Orthodox church was also attacked in Gaza City.
A group calling itself “Lions of Monotheism” told The Associated Press by phone that the attacks were a protest against the pope’s remarks on Islam.**

In a broader talk rejecting any religious motivation for violence, Benedict cited the words of a Byzantine emperor who characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as “evil and inhuman,” particularly “his command to spread by the sword the faith.”
The pontiff did not endorse that description, but he did not question it, and his words set off a firestorm of protests across the Muslim world.

1. Morocco recalled its ambassador to the Vatican on Saturday to protest the pope’s “offensive” remarks, and Afghanistan demanded the pope apologize.
2. Turkey cast some doubt on whether Benedict could proceed with a planned visit in November in what would be the pontiff’s first trip to a Muslim nation.
3. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan insisted the pope apologize to the Muslim world, saying he had spoken “not like a man of religion but like a usual politician.”
Asked if Muslim anger would affect the pope’s trip to Istanbul, where he hopes to meet with Orthodox leaders headquartered there, Erdogan replied, “I wouldn’t know.”
4. The grand sheik of Cairo’s Al-Azhar Mosque, the Sunni Arab world’s most powerful institution, condemned the pope’s remarks as “reflecting ignorance.”
5. The Shiite Muslim militant group Hezbollah and Lebanon’s top Sunni Muslim religious authority also denounced the pope’s comments.

Benedict quoted from a book recounting a conversation between 14th century Byzantine Christian Emperor Manuel Paleologos II and an educated Persian on the truths of Christianity and Islam.
“The emperor comes to speak about the issue of jihad, holy war,” the pope said. “He said, I quote, ’Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached.”’

Terrorists? I mean we say were going after financial institutions but yet we allow them to make all the drugs they want to sell? How does this happen with the USA there, free elections, free drug farming?

I recently told a guy I cared very deeply for him. Hes told me that he doesn't feel that way for anyone right now, but then I got this "accidental kiss" texted to my phone. he said it was for someone else and I directly asked him if he had someone he was kissing now and he texted back, "did I say I did? LOL". I told him yeah, kinda..anyway, he seems annoyed that I feel the way I do for him so I went so far as to open up to him about reasons WHY I was so amazed that I trusted him, after all the trauma with men I had gone through.I emailed that to him 4 days ago.I thought he would at least email me back afterward, but there has been NOTHING.The only half response I got was on MySpace makign fun of the way I spelled something in a bulletin. I don't get it. I am really feeling like he is trying to push me away, which if that IS the case, then I am GONE.. He has no idea how close he is to losing an INCREDIBLY loyal and loving friend, as well as someone who loves him just the way he is!!

I don't really buy the hype... I think if we took out Osama, that would be pretty much the end of it...
if we found him it would probably be in a hornets nest of al-queda elite that would pretty much destroy their entire leadership... just a guess...

everyone else is too worried about Israel to worry about the U.S.... and Irsrael always has a war every 10 years or so where they push some guys back...

what do you guys think?

How much in length does the water have to be in my tank? Will guppies survive if I only fill the water half way to the top? (I have a terrarium), I've used it to fill 1/3 water before but I was wondering if it would be okay to only fill 1/2 the tank with water for guppies?

Here's my guy friend's story. He knew this girl from school, he approached her, asked her to be his girlfriend, she rejected him ( her reasons were: "I just got out of a relationship" and "my ex told my friend that he still has feeling for me"). Two months later, she started to date someone else on myspace. How would you feel if you were in my guy friend's situation, and what would you do?
