In any democracy, power should fall in the hands of franchised citizens,. This notion is based on the fundamental principle that ,when citizens are informed and educated, they are capable of voting to fulfill their own interests. Who better to represent the interests of the people than the people themselves? Still, ideals are great, but the ineludible reality of what America is today arouses questions that instigate doubt as to whether this principle can function in practice. Although in a democracy, suffrage is theoretically converted into power, power in it's final conversion is wealth. So can democracy truly function in a country where 1% of its population holds 33.4% of all privately held wealth? In a world where 1% percent of the global population owns 80% of the world's wealth? And how can people be manipulated into voting against their own economic interests?

Have you heard their technique to witnessing? How they use the 10 Commandments? I admit it is a good way to witness, but Ray Comfort said that too many people witness by telling others about the love of Christ and how people recieve peace through Christ and he said that that is the wrong way to witness. I disagree with him. I think that we must spread not just part of the news, but all of it. We must explain not only about eternal life and hell and how Jesus died for our sins, but also about how Christ is love and how He will walk with us through our lives when we accept Him and have faith. It seems that Kirk and Ray want to spread the hell part of the message and not the love part. Though I do like them both and admire them. They are certianly sincere in their efforts. What is your opinion about it?

when you first start a fitness program of cardio and strength training, and you are in the "burning" zone, where does the body lose the fat first? Where did you see the results first, what part of the body?

I want your opinion on this.

I was talking to this so called friend of mine who kept telling me Global Warming is a scam and thats its not real. That media is making it up. I however, don't agree.
I want to know what you think?
What are the facts????


I'm not changing my mind, though. I have seen, heard, read enough to know its real. But I'm not talking to him anymore. I blocked him on everything because he started cussing me out and calling me unitelligent and i don't take that from anyone. But anyways, off subject a little :P, just tell me what your opinion on Global Warming is :]

She told me a few times that jews are controlling the world and are trying to kill all white people by forcing multiculturalism on us, we recently moved to a new town that is almost all white, its a small town, and the other day we were driving around and a saw a barbershop that was flying a confederate flag in the front...
And this isn't in the south, its in southern California.
What should I do?

I know this may seem like a stupid question, but please bear with me.

Are there any stars (and I mean text-book stars) located within our solar system, aside from the Sun?

From Earth, the sun is quite large, considering that it's roughly 99 million miles away. After looking at the stars tonight, the brightest I could find (by my trusty naked eye) was obviously much, much less smaller than the Sun.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with my brain. I feel I'm being a complete idiot right now.

[insert shameful expression here]

So are the stars we see in the nightsky located within our solar system, or are they from distant galaxies, or both..?

Of course, then there is the question of how big exactly is our solar system....


I know it's a lot of questions. I've pretty much forgotten everything from grades 1 - 8, please forgive me.
