I am planning my first trip outside the U.S. to Rome, Italy. I am skeptical about renting a car. The driving is not a problem for me, it's the parking. When parking for shops, restaurants, and museums, are there street parking? Metered stalls? Parking lots? Basically, waht's the parking situations in Rome, Italy?

The Immigration Compromise Will Help Social Security. How Does That Make Lib Dims Feel?

Foreigners will no longer be allowed to bring over their parents.

Because of Clinton, elderly people that legally immigrate here are automatically entitled to Social Security, Medicaid, Food Stamps, and subsidized housing (in most states). Those that are not old enough to collect S.S.I. are entitled to welfare.

Because of Clinton's legislation (1999), in 1999 there were 420,000 legal immigrants that were eligible for social security insurance and Medicaid. Over 250,000 elderly legal immigrants were eligible for food stamps. And 750,000 legal immigrants were eligible for food stamps.

How much of the popular religious ceremonies are original christian ceremonies?

Most of it came from pagan rituals or cultural peculiarities from Europe and the Middle East. Here is a list:
Easter eggs - Ukraine pagans,
Christmas tree - German Pagans
stockings - Turkish cultural pecularity
Father Christmas/santa claus - an invention by the english.

What are the other ones? What festivities (outside the church) are original Christian ideas?

(by the way... I am not interested in hearing things like "christians never invented anything" or the like because that is boring)

"manzanas" it makes no sense to me-does manzanas have another definition?

This is what the paper says in espanol:
Se recomendaba el observar las medidas de los pueblos, con calles de doce varas de ancho y manzanas cuadradas de ciento veinte varas de largo. La cuadrícula del pueblo debía tener en el centro la plaza y ésta debía tener como principales edificios: la iglesia, la casa municipal, el cuartel y la escuela. Así se trazaba un pueblo según la tradición española.
I translated thus:

As a complement to this Decree, it was indicated that the ejido (peasants) of the town of San Miguel would have an extension of five thousand castilian varas (.84 meters) per side, which was the maximum determined according to the agreement of the Legislative Assembly, April, 8th, 1844. They recomended to themselves that they layout the measurements of the towns, with streets twelve varas (.84 meters) wide and apples squared 120 varas (.84 meters) in length. The grid of the town ought to be in the center the plaza and this ought to have the main buildings: the church

why did God had to send Jesus (a part of himself or trinity or etc.) only to forgive mankind ?

And when the jews tortured him, were they beating a God or prophet? if they(small people) were beating a God, how and why this could be? For example God could send a sheep for them to torture(like Abraham). He didnt like Jesus ?? Could somebody explain me why he didnt just forgive?? and finally I didnt do anything wrong. Why did Jesus get tortured for me or for Adams fault?? Can a God or part of a God be tortured to death??

Guilty over brother's suicide...?

Is it normal to feel guilty over a loved ones' suicide? My little brother committed suicide 2 yrs ago. And I feel guilty for moving on. It is still VERY TRAUMATIC for me but I have been able to heal a little. When I do things that we would have been doing I feel horrible. Any suggestions?
