every time i hear about the government trying to take away our rights, through domestic spying or warrantless searches, i really cannot help but to become very, very angry.

i know that the original framers of the constitution never intended for the government to snoop into the private life of any citizen who was not charged with a crime.

yet, very few average people seem to care that these freedoms, which, make no mistake, were earned through blood sacrifice, are being chipped away like a stone sculpture.
why are more people not enraged over this?

I have been reading lots of ads in the daily newspapers appearing prominently about body massages for men, women by men, women, giving phone numbers. I dont know if they r really about massage services or some sexual thing is involved. Being out of shape, I have been thinking about trying any one of them but am afraid of things going wrong, though i am not hesitant in getting massaged by males for my well being, if that is necessary. So i want to know if other ladies or males have anything to share about their experiences (whatever kind of) with me before i go ahead. thanx

The Gospels of Matthew and Luke give us a nightmare they call a dream in which Joseph and an Angel are pulled out of a hat to tarnish the name of the mother of the Christ and hint that she was guilty of adultery with child of other than her phantom-husband, Joseph, only to complete the Hoax of the Crucifixion by transferring the name that was given to the two thieves, "Jesus", on to the innocent Christ child.

For those who await the second coming of "Jesus", you are hereby warned that the two thieves were the only persons to be crucified in the Bible by that name.

The Bible wholly agrees with the Quran that the Christ was not crucified and you can check your Bible with The Age Of Reason for evidence of the great escape from crucifixion and the Hoax of Christian dreams.

This morning at 4 am we were woken by one of our Polish neighbours asking us to phone the fire brigade as the house across the street was on fire, his English isn't too good, he panicked and couldn't remember the number for the emergency services luckily he'd heard the screams, the house is rented to a young mother with a child, there were no smoke alarms fitted, luckily my hubby and our Polish neigbhour managed to get the woman and her daughter safely out of the house before the fire brigade arrived, smoke alarms are free through Government funding from the fire service, why are people still risking their lifes by not having them fitted and why are landlords getting away with not fitting them in rented properties.

In your opinion what type of person is super compatible and has good synergy with this type of person:

Somebody who's loyal, shy, and witty. Has a bit of a dark, obscure sense of humor. Is lazy. Somebody who's very smart, but doesn't like to do a lot of things. Somebody who needs a bit of motivation to achieve his goals, doesn't have that much 'inner drive.' Somebody that enjoys helping others, but prefers to 'just chill.' Somebody who enjoys writing, and talking about philosophy and psychology, etc. Somebody who is extremely turned off by arrogance, snooty-ness and social fakery.

What type of person is hella compatible with that type in your humble opinion?

Serious answers only please!

Im an Australian Rules umpire in Australia (at Junior level) and I hear ALL kinds of abuse all the time on and off the field.

Now without getting to flusted, are you an umpire or refferee of any sport and you are just sick and tired of player and perent abuse directed at you? What can we do about it to fully stop it other than the ingoring factor?

Are you a player or coach or even a perent who always get on at refs when they make a mistake and why do you do it?

Please be honest here as I like to hear both sides of the story and before I forget, we all make mistakes!

Any suggestions on how to fight a depression over the holidays. I lost my father and brother when I was 14 and ever since, each holiday I get very sad and mopey. A lot plays into it now, with dissatisfaction with my current living situation, melancholy over Christmas songs, and a mad rush of the season. Any ideas on how to shake the gloom would be most appreciated.

Need you advise please!

Seeing this guy and all week he has been saying that he is gonna come round tonight and watch a film. He went and got wasted last night and he has text me to say he might come round but he ain't sure as he is hanging so might get an early night! This is not the first time that he has done this. When we are together everything is fine but when i don;t see him its wierd.

Is he giving me the brush off?

Also we are going to a party tomorrow night, so will see him then.

Am i being stupid by being annoyed with him?

Thanks
