As a Born Again Christian, I have noticed that the USA is out of step with its allies and neighbours.

As Europe becomes less engaged to the church, we are becoming more fundamentalist.

The countries of central and south america are increasingly voting in left wing governments.

The one region we have a lot in common with is the Middle East.

We both in charge have religious men who will wage wars.

We are both showing less regard for individual rights.

Unimpeachable power is held in the hands of a few.

We both disdain the United Nations.

Our heads of state are beholden to oil.

Clearly we should partner ourselves with those countries with which we have most in common like Iran, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. We should say goodbye to NATO.

Who can see the logic and feels this is right?

I've been given this advice by some elder..."Those who ignore always win"..when it comes down to relationships. Does that actually work? By ignoring someone that much...do they come back? He also told me this "When someone you take for granted disappears...theres emptiness in ones heart" What do you guys think?

Why does the Western World take the route of "Appeasement" in dealing with the Muslim problem? Appeasement doesn't work. Look where appeasement led Europe leading up to World War II.

3 missionaries get captured by a tribe in New Guinea. They drag the first one to the feet of the king, and the king asks, "Death? Or Maubi?"
The missionary doesn't hesitate and says, I'll take Maubi!"
They tie the guy face down and 100 of the biggest soldiers 'have their way' with him. The other 2 start to worry even more.
They drag the second guy out, and the king again asks, "Death? Or Maubi?"
He doesn't want to die, and he yells out, "I'll take Maubi!"
They tie the guy down, only this time 1000 warriors 'have their way' with the guy.
Now they drag the 3rd guy out, and he see where this is going. He figures this time it will be 10000 warriors - The king asks, "Death? Or Maubi?"
The 3rd guy reluctantly says, "I'll take death."
So the king raises his staff over his head and passes judgement - He bellows out, "O.K. then - I sentence you - to death by Maubi!"

He thought he was hiring a Ford Escort service. He just needed a rental car to show he was a man of the people. Even though he isn't a man of the cloth, he just wanted to show that he could do more than the average layperson for his constituents. He wanted to show that he can speak the language of the average layman. He laid his soul bare. The man knows how to lay it on the line.

I bought a Black Moor Goldfish this past March from Petsmart and placed it in a 2 gallon Spongebob Tank I also purchased there. I love Spongebob! :P I realize this tank is small, but I figured for the time being, it would suffice. My fish (Phisher :)) has since grown bigger and I am going to upgrade his tank soon. I am worried that even with a larger tank, he might not grow, because he has been in the small one since March. I know many fish grow to their environment. I asked an associate at Petsmart, who told me it was alright since I hadn't had the fish very long ... But I wanted to see if anyone had more input! Also, Does anyone know how to tell gender on this species? Thankyou so much!! :D

I have found that if I "confess" to myself, it works much better than priest confession. And I don't confess "sins" to myself either. I confess to myself if I've been lying to myself or supressing thoughts. It's very cathartic. I try to do it at least once a week, but sometimes daily. I just write out all my thoughts and admit things to myself that may be painful to admit, but they are more painful to keep inside and I feel much better once I can admit something to myself. I am just totally honest with myself and I pour everything out with the confidence that no one else is going to see it. My point is, it does not have to be told to another person. The priest is not necessary for confession, not even another person is necessary.
Confessing to a priest is uncomfortable, creepy and unnecessary. Besides, relying on priests is basically like granting them magic powers.
Do you confess to yourself? How does it work for you? Have you ever confessed to a priest? I did once and never again

I am the gardener at my house. Unfortunately, I am not a mechanic, also. Here's what happened today. The grass was longer than usual due to so much rain (Florida). I had to mow slowly because I could hear the mower laboring threw the tall grass. It finally quit and now will not start again. I can't pull the cord because it won't release and come out. Any ideas? It's a Sears Craftsman by Briggs and Stratton.

2 doctors were golfing and bragging how great of a surgeon they were. The first one says, "You see that sleeping owl up there? I bet I can cut out his tonsils and not even wake him." So they bet, and sure enough, he does it. The other doctor, not to be out done, says, "Oh, not bad - but I'll bet I can cut off his testicles without him waking him up."
And sure enough, he does it - the bet ends up a draw.
A few days later the owl is flying around and his friend the squirrel says to him, "Hey, Mr. Owl, you haven't been looking very well lately."
The owl says, "I don't know what's wrong with me lately, but lately I haven't been able to hoot worth a fu

a lot of people use this term to refer to people who are against people of a certain religion. this can't be the proper term though because racism obviously refers to race, which is not the same thing. you can be a religious minority but an ethnic majority, and therefore not discriminated against because of 'race.'

what is the right word, if there is one, for "racism" in terms of religion?

She found it on the side of the highway driving home from work. Her mom won't allow animals in her house, so I guess she thought I'd be a sucker for it.

The kitten has a broken leg, she is not using it at all.. she's infested with fleas (I treated the fleas) and has worms badly (I gave her dewormer). Right now I have her in a pet carrier with food and water.

Do you think the vet might discount this? I give them at least $1k/year for my animal care anyways. Also, do you think they'd help me find her a home?

God Help me. My kitten's eyes turn to the back of his head and he figits...then he attacks us, leaving terrible deep cuts and sucks the blood of our wounds like he's nursing off his mother. He shakes vigerously while doing all of this. His eyes sometimes turn red. I dont know what to do!!! I've tried everything: throwing him, punting him, kicking him, bathing him, showering him, feeding him, shaving him, petting him, god, I just dont know what else to do! Please guide me!
