wether is Christianity,Islam,Judaism,Taoism,Buddhism,Athiest etc etc. why do we as people think our religion is better than someone elses? Are we that conceitied or are we just blind to see that there is no true answer out there of exisitance of a higher being. I do believe in this higher being and im aware of his presence. But why is religion becoming a topic that people around the world are fighting and killing themselves over. Will society ever accept all religions? Will religion eventually be erased from society? Will this higher being show his or her face on this Earth?

An airline captain was breaking in a new blonde stewardess. The route they were flying had a layover in another city. Upon their arrival, the captain showed the stewardess the best place for airline personnel to eat, shop and stay overnight.

The next morning, as the pilot was preparing the crew for the day's route, he noticed the new stewardess was missing. He knew which room she was in at the hotel and called her up wondering what happened. She answered the phone, crying, and said she couldn't get out of her room. "You can't get out of your room?" the captain asked, "Why not?"

The stewardess replied: "There are only three doors in here," she sobbed, "one is the bathroom, one is the closet, and one has a sign on it that says 'Do Not Disturb'!"

I have a friend or well ex-friend but that's beside the point, but she called herself a Christian Deist and that she doesn't believe in organized faith (like bible and church, she believes in god and lives how she wants but even then...she's kind of shitty but that's why we aren't friends anymore lol anyway) but what's a deist? or a Christian Deist? I found this page here

I am trying to get a nice indoor windowsill garden going, but have a very tight budget. So I've been saving used gallon milk jugs and Era clothes detergent containers to fashion into my 'pots'.

The problem is, these containers are very ugly. I've tried painting them with some basic craft paint I have, but it rubs right off after it dries and makes a big mess.

Any ideas on how I can decorate these plastic containers to look less cheap, classy not gaudy, and easy to do at home?

Pentagon report says no link between Saddam and Al-Qaeda
Fri Apr 6, 11:46 AM ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) -Interrogations of Saddam Hussein and seized documents confirmed the former Iraqi regime had no links with Al-Qaeda, a Pentagon report said Friday, contradicting the US case for the 2003 invasion.

A two-page resume of the report was published in February, but on Friday the Pentagon declassified the whole 120-page document.

According to the inspector general of the US Defense Department, information obtained after Saddam's fall confirmed the prewar position of the Central Intelligence Agency and Pentagon intelligence that the Iraqi government had had no substantial contacts with Al-Qaeda.

This position was shored up by interrogations of Saddam, the former Iraqi president and other top officials captured by the US-led coalition forces in Iraq, the report said.

What unit of time did the Chinese use before they adopted the system of 24 hours, 60 minutes and 60 seconds?

Apparently, this question was really offensive because someone reported this and it was removed.

There was an interesting answer to the system that they used, but now it's gone because someone got offended.

Is it just me or is this question really that offensive?

Don't you hate it when harmless questions get removed?
