i cross the border every week (by care). Im a us citizen but have family in Tijuana. iv experianced some great, professionl, well spoken officers. Although i have also come across a few bad ones. Those that abuse there authority and ask you irrelivant questions (what highschool did you attend? who was your 6th period teacher? what hospital were you born in? who was our 6th presidant? ) these are questions i should know the answer to but are irrelivant to my citizenship. when i look at them like "why are you asking me this?" the get offended and try to say thats how they prove im a citizen (not in those words but that is what they have me understand) And also use intimidation and sarcastic tones. iv come across a handfull but i just feel like they give a bad name to those agents whom just want to do there job in a respectful manner. what would be the most effective and best way to approach a complaint? will it work??

I discovered Buddhism while working a 12-step program of recovery... it felt miraculous to say the least.

But I wonder about these people who have never walked a mile in anyone elses shoes... Why do they always profess to have had the greatest "awakenings"?

I know you are all quoting the bible, but Jesus did not die for our sins. Jesus died because some wacked out politician was afraid that Jesus was becoming too popular and posed a threat to his rule.

The people were following Jesus, they believed in Jesus, and it scared the current day rulers of Rome. So old Pontious Pilot set Jesus up to die.

Jesus Christ was murdered. It is plan and simple. He did not die for my sins or your sins. To be honest he died for the greed of the leaders of Rome.

Would it mean that for every law that is proposed people would have to vote and if it gets 51% percent of the votes it's enacted? I kinda like the idea though. I think that would be a true democracy!

The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is shifting away from total reliance on the dollar as an international currency - and adopting the euro as an alternative. This is probably the US government's worst nightmare, economically speaking. Saddam Hussein's biggest crime in the minds of the US is his demand to be paid in euros instead of dollars for the oil that Iraq exports.

In November 2000, Iraq announced that it would cease to accept dollars for its oil, and would accept instead only euros. At the time, financial analysts suggested that Iraq would lose tens of millions of dollars in value because of this currency switch; in fact, over the following two years, Iraq made millions. Other oil-exporting nations, including Iran and Venezuela, have stated that they are contemplating a similar move. If OPEC as a whole were to switch from dollars to euros, the consequences to the US economy would be catastrophic. Investment money would flee and Americans would shortly find themselves living in Third-World conditions.

Alright..so do we have any proof this guys fake, or is he just that good? I mean, common, he performs this show, live in front of hundreds, sometimes thousands of fans.. how can it be fake?.. How can NO ONE see the set up or tricks behind it.. you know what I mean?..
I guess my point is that if he was paying these people off, to keep their mouths shut, if they did see something, it would have leaked out by now right??...


Someone give me some perspective!!!

When I was a child I found a graveyard deep in the swamp that was long forgotten and cleaned it up.
When I couldn't go home I'd go there and sleep knowing humans feared swamps and grave yards at night, I felt safe there.

Why do humans fear such things?

If you were to shoot a bullet, then slow down time and stand infront of the bullet, would it it you with the same amount of force as before you slowed down time?

Say you were to somehow distort space/time for only yourself, and someone fires the gun, and you slow down all time for yourself; The people in the original space/time see the bullet blow your brains out, but would it actually hit you like it would without time slowed down? If it doesnt, what would happen if you were to undistort your space/time? Would you see yourself dead on the ground and also be standing infront of everyone?

As some of you know I do not believe in a historical jesus. So I would like to take this opportunity to see if you can convince me. Send me whatever links you want and I will read them. I have done quite alot of research on this subject so I am sure I have seen most of them.

Please don't bother with the Josephus quote as it has been proved to be altered.

If you are going to quote the bible (which I would prefer you wouldn't) please only use the original hebrew tanakh as to say the least I am suspicious of the Septuagint and all of it's "offspring" translations.

The NT does not count.

Bonus points to anyone who can provide me with anything pre Paul and his epistles.

Good Luck

Just imagine the sun would stop shining, without exploding. It would just totally disappear without causing harm. How long would human race survive without the benefits of the sun? 10 minutes? 10 hours? 10 days? Could it stand the cold longer? How long would it take for the atmosphere to get below zero degrees?
