I am stupid for deciding to become a casino dealer when I was 21 years old. I started out working in the casino cage making $9 hour thinking to myself this will never get me anywhere I need to make more money than this. I began to talk with dealers that worked there and they told me this is a great job you make great money for playing games all day. I was naive I was seeing dollar signs before my own happiness and began to go to school for it

2 months later I got my first dealing job at the Claridge making approximately $15.50 tips and $4.00 base. Things were ok I seemed to like it for a while. BUT this business began to rear its ugly head. Mandatory Holidays and Weekends, Unfair Callout Point Systems, Aggressive Supervisors, NO benefits ( work 40 hours and they still call you part time) NO chance for promotion (When youre hired for part time dealer, thats pretty much all you will be for as long as you work there) Bad Schedules with different time starts and different days off every

I ask this in the philosophy boards because it is really more a philosophical question than a religion question. So in a few words or sentences, define what it means.

Remember, not all religions have a god or gods. Not all religions have sacred buildings. Some religions revolve around the worship of ancestors. In any discussion of religion, religion must first be defined. So go for it.


Smartass ******** answers are more than welcome in my questions as well as the well-thought-out intelligent ones.

Same way, MJ needed Pippen.

OK well when I was younger I fell and hit an object. It knocked 2 small holes in both front teeth (at the top) . Ya I know I should have went to the dentist. I've always been scared after one dentist gave me too much of that numbing stuff and I couldn't even tell I was breathing. I have asthma so you can imagine how that turned out. Anyone I have 2 huge cavities in both. Theres only some white left like half way down on each one. They don't hurt any though. Can the dentist fill them? These cavities are pretty big. Barely any white left.

I know that I lot of people don't like these names ... I'm not using them as a baby names, but as characters so don't worry about trying to talk me out of using it ^_^

On your first instinct, what do you think they would look like? Specifically, what Hair Color, Eye Color, and Skin Tone do you think they'd have?

Thankyou for your help ^_^

I'm in love with a boy. Point blank, I'm in love. It's a weird feeling, but I know it's real. My only thing is, I can't justify it. He's always asking me how I know, how I can be sure that he's not like my last boyfriend. And that's my problem. How the hell do I explain all my feelings? I try, and everytime I do it's like words are caught in my throat. I'll literally sit there, and open my mouth like I should be saying something.

But nothing comes out. And it gets me down. Because I don't want him to think I'm lying about my feelings in any way. I know I'm not. Emotional movie cliches aside, I can feel it in my heart. I've tried to explain that I suck at putting it all into words, but I don't think he gets it.

A month ago someone asked this question concerning the story of Abraham being ordered by God to offer his [Abraham's] son in sacrifice:

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArqnqwUIG3ljK8tcrG.Fl35IzKIX?qid=20070629060052AAJRxQJ

Abraham had the kid on the alter, knife poised for the strike, when God backed out of the demand.

Interestingly, a number of people answered, [paraphrased] "Yeah, I'd hate to do it, but what the hell."

As a person not too impressed by the Judeo-Christian God, this seems a bit extreme to me. I have a lot of respect for faith, almost any faith.

But it seems to me when a person begins hearing voices from God telling him to draw and quarter his kid, it might be time to draw the line and indulge in some self-doubt.

Could this willingness to listen to voices and believe they're God talking, no matter what they demand, be the explanation for a lot of bloody events in Christian history?
