Altruism: the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others (dictionary.com)

Some (but not all) Christians seem to claim title on altruism & that without belief in God, atheists & agnostics have no concept of morality. However, many of these same Christians do 'altruistic' deeds in order to get into Heaven.

Doesn't that count as 'selfish', and therefore not count as altruism as defined above?

She was stupid in 1993 about it.
Will she tell us universal health care will have administrative costs that we pay.
That seniors will not be covered.
That we will pay for it in our income taxes.
Where is all this money going to go to ? Her own private dictatorship.
She will re-write those scripts till she sells her crap.
She never tells the whole story and acts like she does.
Please tell her arrogance has no place here.
Mandatory health care - Oh ok where does that leave the people that can't afford it.
Will the premiums be paid to the Clinton Insurance Company of America.

Okay, here is the word problem, with the answers we were supposed to get... HOW are we to end up with these? All 10 of us in the class do NOT get these answers...

On Oct 1, 2003, the Topeka Capital Journal ran a featured article on making cake frosting. The recipe called for an 8-ounce package of cream cheese, 1/2 cup of butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, and 3/4 cup of confectioner's sugar. If Mr. Baker watns to reduce the recipe by 1/3, how much of each ingredient would he need?

These are the answers in the back of the book:

7 2/3
5 1/3
1/3
1 1/3
1/2

Our teacher won't show us because she just keeps moving on to the next chapter...

Is it offensive to call someone a spoiled brat because their parents buy them more things than yours do?

What do you consider to be a spoiled brat?

Where do you draw the line between being a spoiled brat or just getting what you want?

One day Cracker Jack brought home a dozen red roses to his wife.
"How lovely, dear," she replied, "what's the occasion?"
"I want to make love to you," he said simply.
"Not tonight, dear, I have a headache."
The next night Jack came home with a big box of chocolates and explained that he wanted to make love to her.
"I'm awfully tired," said his wife. "Not tonight."
Every night for a week Jack brought home something, but each time his wife's answer was 'no'. Finally he came home with six black kittens with little red bows around their necks and handed them to his wife.
"How adorable, Jack!" she cried. "But what are they for?"
"These are six little pallbearers for your dead pus*y."

If a was convicted with sec 10-125(b) how should I answer on the following question in the online job application:
(exact wording)
Have you ever been convicted of a crime or pled guilty to a violation of any federal, state, county, military, or municipal laws?
(Note: In most jurisdictions, DWI or “Driving while Intoxicated” and DUI or “Driving under the Influence” are criminal offenses.)

Do they mean only criminal offense or also civil?

The protestant church has been around for 400 years after it broke away from the Church that Jesus apostles founded.

It was founded after a crazy jew hating monk decided he didnt like some of the corruption in the church, poor comunication and stuborness on both sides meant he left.

After that there were 5 different denominations that were seperated from the Truth. They took parts out of the bible that didnt fit with their new ideology and created a new one that was never meant to be the bible. (more like a half bible with hlf truths)

So today with this half bible (often looked at a God the Bible) we now have 37,000 different denominations all with different interpretations and claim that theirs is the absolute truth.

Isint that a bit of a mess when there is still the Church that the disciples created with the exact same style and structure as you would have seen in the first century.

I set up my little 10 gallon, am still just waiting for it to finish cycling, so I usually go looking at the fish every weekend to see what I like, what looks healthy and all that. Well this weekend Petco had male Bettas in all their tanks. (No, not the salt water. The other weekends they did not.) I saw many Bettas being picked on, and in other tanks I saw other fish getting picked on by the Bettas, especially the poor dwarf guaramies. Has anyone else ever seen this? I wonder what would make them do that?

There's the argument that if you build a 20-foot wall, they'll bring a 21-foot ladder. That's why many borders in nations around the world use parallel walls a few yards (meters) apart.

Would-be violators land in the 'ditch' formed by the two walls, are seen on camera, IR, heat sensing, etc, and are in for the race of their lives to get that ladder through barbed wire barriers, past a few German Shepherds, up against the next wall and over before being apprehended.

The cost is much less than building a freeway which are about 12 - 24 inches thick, poured on a bed of asphalt over compacted, lime-treated soil. Tilt-walls are only about 4 to 8 inches thick and require much cheaper concrete.

We have millions of miles of local, state and federal (interstate) roads. Building 2,000 miles of parallel walls would be fractional by comparison.
