ok, now before you start saying anything about me being to young for dieting and stuff let me explain myself.

School got out for me just last Thursday [17th], and I'm not happy with how I look.

I'm 5ft 4in, and I weigh 174lbs.

So, over this summer I was wondering how much It was possible for me to lose before oh, about August 17, that's around the time school gets back in.

I'm up for about anything. [except anything that will put my health in danger, and stuff I'd have pay for over the internet]

So, I want to know what I can lose, and what I can do to lose it.


Please help me, I want to lose most of my gut by the end of summer.


[If I can't accept myself, how can other people?]

WARNING: The following is very offensive. True, but offensive. Realize that I did not write this out of anger, yet only in an attempt to express rationality. It may appear angry or cruel only because it is missing the "sugar coating" of tolerance people expect from controversial essays. However, I hold honesty higher than your feelings, and would feel like a liar if I did not show my frustration and concern in full. So, here it is: uncensored, unadulterated, and unsympathetic truth. Enjoy.

The whole concept of Christian's Belief in Hell baffles me.

I only have a few things to say on this topic, most of which I hope intellectuals have already deduced. Of course, I would have hoped that Christian intellectuals would have deduced that religion and the Bible are huge, idiotic contradictions and turned Atheist, but that hasn’t happened yet, so here I go:

1. Is hell a satisfactory punishment at all? Hell no. Try to imagine this: An eternity of fire and unbearable pain. Far more pain than that felt mentally and physically by all of man kind through all of the ages combined. More pain than all of the victims of the holocaust, and from all of the wars and diseases and crimes. More than all of that combined, and multiplied by millions. Even more than that. An eternity is forever, for those of you that don’t know.
Does ANYONE, regardless of how much pain they caused, disserve that? No. I don’t care who you are, no, they do not. If you believe they do, you are a very, very sick individual. But of course, the Bible says that sinners who go to hell will remain there forever with no chance of redemption.

The idea of the Christian’s Hell is a huge contradictory, because for there to be that Hell, there must be a God. In Christian mythology, God is all knowing, and a very good God who created morals and what is right and wrong. If God is all knowing and all good, than he defiantly would not bestow this punishment on ANYONE. No half-way decent God would, because that would be simply pure evil. And if God is all knowing, he knows that it is pure evil, and he would only do this if he enjoyed it, making him pure evil. Therefore contradicting the Christians view of God, their entire religion, thus also their belief in Hell.

2. Are all sins forgiven in Christianity? Hell no. I am disgusted that most Christians do not know this. Twice in the New Testament, as said to be Jesus Christ’s own words, does the Bible clearly and literally state that there is one unforgivable sin that will damn you eternally without any chance of ever experiencing anything after death than eternal suffering. In the books of Mark and Matthew it is obvious:

"Truly I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter: but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin: because they say, 'He has an unclean spirit'."
(Book of Mark 3:28-29)

Jesus speaking:
"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
(Book of Matthew 12:30-32)

This is horrendous. Every single sin, from theft to murder and rape, can, and WILL be forgiven by Jesus, except for denying the Holy Spirit. That’s right. Go out and kill that bastard you don’t like across the street. Rape his wife and daughter until they bleed, its okay. Afterward, just beg Jesus for forgiveness and everything’ll be alright. Oh, but didn’t I mention? Atheists will be in hell for their blasphemy. Jesus hates them. They have unclean spirits and are pure evil.

If you are Christian, then you have no choice but to believe this, or accept that you are an idiot. This is the New Testament, so you can’t wave it off with that old “It’s just the old Testament” argument. And you can’t say it’s out of context. Go read it. And you can’t say it’s a metaphor, because Jesus said it very literally, and it’s obvious it is to be taken literally, straight from Jesus’ mouth. So, you have two choices here: One, deny these quotes. That means excusing all credibility to these quotes and passing them off as fiction. That would, however, excuse all credibility to Matt and Mark, since you cannot logically believe anything they say without believing everything they say with the same merit, and therefore discrediting Jesus, and the New Testament, and the whole Bible, and therefore your entire religion, proving you to be a moron. Two, you could hate all Atheists and wish them to burn eternally, just like your Holy Father does. This would, however, make you a terrible person for believing such hateful terrible things about good people, and therefore proving you to be brainwashed and in denial, since these people do not disserve to be hated, and yet you still insist because of an unproven, ridiculous two-thousand year old book.

To put it simply, if you have just read this and are still Christian, you are either incredibly dim-witted or in complete denial of reality, therefore making you insane. This very essay, with the help of you own illogical faith, has irrefutably proven by means of reason that Christians are either crazy or stupid. Or both.

Well, that may be enough to prove that, but I just can’t stop today.

3. If you believe in any type of fate, or “God’s great plan”, then that is also a contradiction. As stated before, Christians believe in an all knowing and all loving God. If you also believe in some type of fate, then you must believe that our futures are already planned out (that’s what fate is after all) and therefore whatever happens to us ultimately is what god intended, and our meaning to our lives. If that is true, people who go to Hell were planned and destined to go there by God. That must mean that God created some people specifically to go to hell and burn for all of eternity without chance of redemption. What good god would do this? No good god would. Just as stated in the second paragraph of this essay, God would not do this if he didn’t enjoy it, and if he did enjoy it, he wouldn’t be good, therefore contradicting your belief system, and your entire religion, rendering it useless and completely illogical.

To believe that something as ridiculous as God and Hell is true, you must be very irrational, and basing your life off of something as illogical as that is only the actions of a moron, or a nut job. After reading this essay, you have just eliminated the “ignorant” category of Christian faith. You are not ignorant any more. You have just been presented with the truth, very easily explained and laid out before you. To remain a Christian after this proves, beyond a doubt, that you are either idiotic past comprehension, or out of your little mind with denial and delusion. Those of you who can read, I’d bet you are the later. Thank you.

"Infinite punishment is infinite cruelty, endless injustice, immortal meanness. To worship an eternal gaoler hardens, debases, and pollutes even the vilest soul. While there is one sad and breaking heart in the universe, no good being can be perfectly happy.
The God of Hell should be held in loathing, contempt and scorn. A God who threatens eternal pain should be hated, not loved. Cursed, not worshiped. A heaven presided over by such a God must be below the lowest hell. I want no part in any heaven in which the saved, the ransomed and redeemed will drown with shouts of joy the cries and sobs of hell in which happiness will forget misery, where the tears of the lost only increase laughter and double bliss."

With so many of our 30-60,000 dollar a year jobs going abroad what is going to save the middle class .
The only options they have are if the retail market of cheap imported goods remains strong and indications are that retail sales are down at all major low cost retailers .
SO even the 10-$15. an hour jobs are in danger of being lost .
Hand me downs and thrift stores are becoming the poor mans answer who can work at target but not afford the $6.00 shirts but instead goes to the salvation army for 5 shirts for $10.00 or $3.00 each .
So many Americans are making due with less and trying to hold on to homes and Good men are working two jobs . One all day to pay the bills and a second jobs as a security guard or night watchman just to keep food on the table .
They never see there family .
IS this what the american dream really is .7 years ago they worked at an auto plant or a machine shop or as foreman on construction jobs and now those jobs are gone .
Whats happened to our country .

We had a new deck put on our house and the guy who built it, also stained it - badly. It was all drip marks and uneven, just not good. He said he'd fix it by powerwashing it - he did powerwash it, but now its worse. The color is still uneven, there are still drip marks and worst of all, there are big rough patches with huge splinters, etc. The "deck guy" is gone and won't be back. What's my best option at this point? Can I sand the deck down to get ride of the rough spots and then prep it to restain? Its a mess and needs to be fixed!

Michael Jackson Refers to Jews as “Leeches”; Where’s the Media Outrage?
Posted by Noel Sheppard on November 25, 2005 - 11:58.

ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Tuesday broke a story about Michael Jackson that has received surprisingly little press. In a report about the pop star’s finances, as well as his relationship with financial advisors, an audiotape was played of a telephone message Jackson left for a former business associate:

JACKSON: They suck - they're like leeches. I'm so tired of it. They start out the most popular person in the world, make a lot of money, big house, cars, and everything, end up with, penniless. It is conspiracy. The Jews do it on purpose.
