It is far more likely to be an "inside job." From a news report (via the Wikipedia article @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001_anthrax_attacks#Anthrax_attack_bug_.22identical.22_to_army_strain_report ):

"The DNA sequence of the anthrax sent through the US mail in 2001 has been revealed and confirms suspicions that the bacteria originally came from a US military laboratory. The data released uses codenames for the reference strains against which the attack strain was compared. The two reference strains that appear identical to the attack strain most likely originated at the US Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick (USAMRIID), Maryland. The new work also shows that substantial genetic differences can emerge in two samples of an anthrax culture separated for only three years. This means the attacker's anthrax was not separated from its ancestors at USAMRIID for many generations."

I'm Baptist, just to let you know. It is my understanding that what separates my views from yours is that you do not believe in the doctrine of "Once Saved, Always Saved", in other words that you could lose your salvation.

But I must ask you this: At what point would that happen? Furthermore, your view seems to imply that people could potentially move in and out of the sphere of salvation depending on what their "situation" is, like a saved person could have a very bad week where they really "mess up", what then if they die right then? Where do they stand?

It just doesn't make much sense to me, but I would like to hear your insight.

Christians only, please, I'm not trying to be disrciminatory, but if you're not serious about this, your answer won't help. Thanks

I know it's a very odd request, but I need someone to describe the general roles of people of the ages 14-20. So basically, the responsibilities of people of each age (14, 15, 16... etc.). A psychological standpoint or personal experiece is equally valued.

As much detail as you can possibly give would be VERY appreciated especially for the ages of 16-19.

Again, I apologize, it's odd but for anyone who takes the time, thank you SO much!

Take care,
Lauren

I've tried offering EVERYTHING possible to get him interested in having sex with me, but nothing interests him anymore, he just says he's not in the mood?!?! He did just get back from Iraq 5 months ago and I thought that might be the problem, but all the guys he went with are not having this problem. I even asked him if we could go to some counseling but he refuses. I know I'm not the prettiest girl out there but I know I'm not unattractive.....I'm just becoming very depressed and frustrated with this all. Does anyone have any suggestions???? Please help!

Studies in psychiatric journals in the early 90s showed a link between autism and feminism.

The rise in autism has been attributed to women with masculine minds marrying men with masculine minds, leading to children with hyper masculine minds.

Furthermore a link has been shown to exist between autism and women and the diagnostic criteria for autism.

A study tested 4200 women at the University of New Hampshire. 677 women tested scored highly on the feminist belief scale, or feministic scale.

254 out of 677 women who scored highly on the feministic scale also ranked highly in restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests and activities. Usually their obsession focused around feminist issues whether real or contrived.

107 of the 677 women scored low on the qualitative social interaction scale.

430 out of the 677 women who scored highly on the feministic scale also scored highly on the masculine personality type scale.

Do you know any autistic feminists?

Both my two dogs and two cats, (these two are brothers), sniff each others' butts; why? Is it their way to say hi? To introduce themselves? My pets have been together for more than 5 years now. Or do they like the way it feels on both the giving and receiving ends?

I wish I were a dog or a cat...they are so lucky... they could lick themselves too probably because they can :)

"We believe the Zionist regime is a usurpitive, illegal, occupational entity regime and the solution we have is that the Palestinian nation have self-determination, a free referendum."

Sure, America could have not been involved with Iraq, but their problems would have existed either way. It is becaue of the stupid religious difference between the sunni and the shiites that caused that problem.

To me, religious beliefs (if a country can't handle them) need to be abolished. Poor Iraq has the biggest clash between it's citizens primarily because of religion.

Can people just set aside religion and be logical for once?

I am living in Philippines and I want to get some tan but I can't find tanning lotion even in well known health and beauty here, they have all kinds of whitening lotion but they have no tanning lotion of any brand. How come most Asians don't prefer getting tan?
