why cant a black "A" student run for and sucessfully run as president. i mean a black "c" student can't even be a manager for macdonalds. meanwhile a white "c" student just happens to be the president of the united states of america. ahh racism at its finest you guys should be proud. The rest of the world might hate you but i solute you (sarcastic sid says: excuse me while i bargh for a moment on the flag! )

My sister & brother in law have recently separated after a rocky 20 year marriage. My sister has coped really well, bought her own place, new job, new start.....my brother in law however has really shocked me. We were all really close and he knew there were no bad feelings towards him at all but he has just distanced himself completely. I have a young son who is their ownly nephew and he has not tried to see him at all. I kept contacting my brother in law but he would never call back and always had excuses for seeing us. I just find it hard to understand how he can go six months without phoning once. My son has now stopped mensioning his Uncle and i just feel i shouldnt bother with him either. I did my best to keep contact but he hasnt made the slightest effort at all. It's his birthday today but i have decided not to send a card. Do you think i'm doing right? I'm not gonna change my mind now, just interested in what others would do in that situation.

I was fired whilst still in probationary period. Reasons given were bad attitude towards my team & non communication to my line manager. I refuted this & have spoken to my team since being fired, with several members saying they would happily argue that this was not the case.

The letter given to me on the day states "further to our meeting" yet all points were obviously written prior to it.

No previous opportunity was given to discuss any of the points.

On three prior occasions I had requested a review with my line manager to improve communication and had provided, in writing, my available dates but had no reply.

I had also highlighted to my line manager that I had not been provided with any clear targets or goals.

I was very succesful in my role, however, and took sales from £200/day to £6,500/ day over the 4 weeks.

I feel my line manager who conducted the meeting saw me as a threat and conducted a witch hunt agaist my better character.
What are my rights please?

"...He (Jesus)was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God." MK 16:19
One of the two great achievements of an eminent biblical scholar of the nineteenth century, Lobegott Friedrich Konstantin Von Tischendorf, was the historical discovery of the oldest known Bible manuscript 'Codex Sinaiticus' from St. Catherine's Monastery in Mt. Sinai.
Dr. Tischendorf discovered that in this 5th century document the gospel of Mark ended at 16:8. In other words, the last 12 verses (9 to 20) were "injected" sometime after the 5th century. Clement of Alexandria and Origen never quoted these verses. You have quoted verse number 19. Today, in many of the revised versions of the Bible, the said last twelve verses appear within parentheses. (For further information please read 'Secrets of Mount Sinai' by James Bentley, Orbis, London, 1985).

".... Me being a Christian, I just cannot wait until all atheists, blasphemers, ridiculers are destroyed permently as then the earth will be a better place to live. No more chaos and craziness; all of that will end.

Also, I cannot wait until the false Christians and all of false religions are eliminated also. A True Christian is never intimidated or threated by a lowly atheist. Who told you that?

Scary world...very blasphemous. Can't wait until Armageddon."

Pascals wager is; if you're an atheist then you should worship god because then if it turns out your wrong you can still go to heaven. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN? Wouldn't it be full of jibbering religious nuts and boring people, whereas hell would be filled with, as well as murders etc., smart sophisticated intellectuals with an interest in science, philosophy, art and psychology. So.......?

We know that the bible tells us that we should view and treat our bodies as a temple. If that is the case why would circumcision be a practice that christians allow?

The other day I said to mine "It's just too hot to wear clothes today," as I stepped out of the shower, "honey, what do you think the neighbors will say if I do?
"They'll probably think I married you for your money," she replied quick as a flash.

Simple enough you'd think.... "the consumption of hot food at your desk is now prohibited. Tea, coffee, & other hot beverages are allowed", so, can we drink hot soup ? What would you class it as, a hot snack or a hot beverage ? The fate of workplace harmony rests in your hands, please vote now : )

Most of the religions are simple and have one god.Hindus have 100 of books and 1000 of gods.Hindu was not a religion founded by some one.It was there from the begining.and will be there to the end.So its not a religion but its life and universe.Hindusum touches every thing you can guess about.I may know 2% of whole hinduisum.There is no strictness in this religion.U can follow the rules or not.It say the whole universe is you.every thing is inside you.To understand the real meaning of hinduisum its very difficult.We are taught to respect every one(not religion coz earlier times there where no religion--only one or two cultures --indian and roman)so hindus respect every religion and all cultures.We invited foriegners to our land with pleasure.Foriegners where attracted toward us coz india was rich that time and robbed all things.even though we where robbed we dint gone for war with them.coz we know that spiritual power is more important than materilistic earning and what ever u earn here u cannot take it while u go.even to understand the concept of hinduisum will take years for people following other religion.we dont compare,,or complaint any religion,as mahatma gandhi told differnt religions are different way to god which is supreme power..and hinduisum is way of life,,,,,

we do everything together. i'm afraid that she doesn't want to get involved with me yet as i have just filed for divorce with my ex, but at the same time she permisses me to sleep over at her house, on a different bed, when she sleeps necked! we dp EVERYTHIN TOgether and so the compatability is there, i've just been taking it slow. we haven't even held hands. she told me to never ever talk to my ex again and to file asap, which i have. why is she just wanting to be friends? it's driving me nuts. if i just stop calling her for a while, would she miss me to a point that she'd think that she is loosing me and will want more? p.s. ignore the avatar, it's not my p.c. any serious advice would be helpful. also she runs around her living room with just her underwear on in front of me and it drives me crazy as i am not a barbarian. she also knows that i'm buying her an expensive necklace next week made by a designer who makes then from real flowers and clear acrylic paint for protection
