If you were appointed to give an award for outstanding achievement in overcoming horrible adversity, and the nominees were Helen Keller and Jesse Owens, who would you choose? One of the criteria is also having given the positive contributions to society. Why?

Do you spend most of your time in Polls & Surveys, or do you occasionally skip between other categories to see what's going on there?

A letter in today's paper asked if Northern Rock, now that its deposits are backed by a government guarantee, are a better investment than National Savings Certificates? Would there be any disadvantages in moving money from one to the other?

christians, you say that god knows everything, and you are one with god and he is everywhere blah di blah. so my question is why do you still come on here and ask "why"? if you are one with god and god knows everything, then there should be no need to ask "why" should there?

A kid we watch started limping on Monday. My mom told her mom yesterday that she noticed that she was limping. Her mom said that she didn't notice (as if she didn't really care) She doesn't pay that much attention to her. Shes been off of work for 2-3 months and has brought her to our house to watch her all the time when she could be spending some time with her. And she also said that she would stay home with her but she just can't handle her.( as in shes gets annoyed and wants her own time not wanting to get bothered by her kid) But anyways we don't really know if its really hurt or if it will go away. She doesn't seem bothered by it though. Should we still be concerned?

For ex. I don't like the Zionist Jews who believe that the settlements should be in the west bank, and I don't like Zionist Jews who think all of Israel should be for them. I believe in 50/50 , that all should live in peace, have 2 states, and finish all the crap that goes on. Am I anti-semetic? Sorry if I can't even spell it. I just see so many accusing others of being this. When all I see is people wanting peace.

I was led to a site on childhood beliefs. Example: I used to believe that "help wanted" signs meant that someone had robbed the store very recently and needed help trying to catch the thief.

So I wonder, what things did you believe as a child?

Here is the site if you want to see more: http://www.iusedtobelieve.com/animals/

I have been briefly reading through some translated pieces of Quran and Hadd and there is something I don't understand.

Allah seems to threaten everyone with fire who doesn't follow his rules Muslim or not. That sounds pretty standard for a Monotheistic Religion, the bit that confuses me is the masses of instructions on how Non-Muslims should be treated and effectively wounded or killed.

What confuses me is the fact he needs his chosen people to harm others in his name, as if he cannot himself.

For example 5:33(you should know what I am talking about) If he wants people dismembered for not following him, why does he not do it himself? Note: I could give you over 30 references to him stating you should act violently, but I choose not too.

So why does an all Power Diety of any type need people to act in his name against those he dislikes?
Seriously if Allah has a problem with say me for example why doesn't he challenge me, instead of sending minions?
