I am not getting why these six thugs are being treated like the victims when they are the ones who beat up that white guy. Talk about blaming the victim. NO - I'm not a racist, I'm not even all white myself, but what's fair is fair, and why shouldn't those hoodlums go to jail?????????? so weird....

I didn't do very well in High School making C's & D's. I wasn't interested in college then and I just did what I had to do to pass and graduate. Now that I am 27 & at a low-paying, dead end job & I would like to go to Dalton State. I never took any test for college while I was in school & of course my grade point average was not good at all. Do you think I would be able to get accepted into Dalton State & would I be eligible for any kind of grants like the hope scholarships or something? I have always lived in Georgia so that wouldn't be a problem. Thanks for your help.

Old early '80s Tappan brand plain-Jane no-frills residential gas stove (jets converted for propane when bought 20 yrs ago). Now I turn the valve/knob on for the left front burner & gas spews out but never lights. Put a lit match to it & it fires up just fine & operates normally from there. Must do this every time now. Left-rear (from same pilot light) works fine. Same for both right-side burners; they're OK too. Only the left front has the problem. Never a sign of weak flame before demise. Just suddenlt went ka-put. Worked great last time I used it (2 days ago). Went back a few hours later to make dinner & nothing. never any other problems.
Any ideas?

Thanks

A World With No Name

A world without people would be a quiet world. The cattle would graze in the meadows, and the deer would walk the empty roads.

"Where have all the poeple gone?"
No creature great or small would wonder. For the world would find itself again- and fall into a much needed slumber.

The cold winter would whisper to the silent hills, "Where has all of their fire, metal and garbage gone?" But no one could tell and none of them bothered to knock their houses down.

For they will be gone in their due time as the people who built them are. And a small bunny says,- the last of his kind, "Tis the children I will miss most."

Their machinery-iron rusts away and gets eaten by the earth from which it came. And the fruit trees will grow unplucked and finally break free from their tame. And they will breathe and sigh in a united cry-
"Without poeple our world has no name!"

If you met someone and were attracted to them, started spending time with them,found out you had lots in common, they were kind, thoughtful and considerate, loving but not going to have sex with you, on dates they drank beers with you but never got drunk, never pushed you one way or the other about religious beliefs but you found out that say they were a christian and you are an atheist, or the other way around, what would you do? would you continue pursuing the relationship or cut it off? I ask this because I see a lot of hostility here among the groups and to be honest I it bothers me. In life is this something that you all feel that critical about or is it just here? Would you base the future of a relationship on what you think now or would you be open minded enough to see where it would go.

I think it's pretty much common knowledge that our US Constitution is in no way, shape or form, based on any teachings in the Holy Bible.

Now, having said that....I've heard a large number of people on here talk about wanting to throw out the US Constitution and instate the Holy Bible in it's place as the law of the land.

Since that ideology goes directly against everything America was founded on and stands for...should we consider individuals of that particular mindset UNAMERICAN???

accommodation within 4-6wks, husband started his posting on the 3rd sept, he left me and the kids on the 1st sept, only to now be told that they cant find us accommodation until after christmas, Im now 16wks pregnant, and feeling just a tad low about the whole thing, and now due to my husband being on exercise on and off for the next couple of months, the next time we will see each other is in December! I just feel like this situation is barbaric and unnessary, I have no support from anyone and feel completely on my own. Im hoping that we will all be settled and back together as a family before the baby arrives and have time to spend as a family and with our new arrival before he gets sent to Iraq for 6 months!

The opening line(s) are:
"Promise me you won't open it," my brother said.
"Why?"
"Just promise me."

I would like to know if you have any ideas to make the story as interesting as possible and unpredictable e.g. there's something in a box and the girl/boy opens it everyone gets upset etc.

My neighbors have two chihuahuas and they crap in my yard always. I just finished picking up 20 of their smelly craps. I'm tired of it and the smell is horrible. What can I do? Talking to the neighbors is not goint to work. My mom has, several times, tried to give them a hint about the problem by scooping up the poop and puting it on their yard, but it only worked for a while.

Here is a common rendition of the quote:
“Preach the gospel. And if necessary, use words.”

If God’s general revelation were sufficient for the salvation of men, then why did He give us His special revelation?

In other words, WHY did God Himself use words?
That is, why did God provide us a Bible?

Does this seem to indicate that God Himself deemed it necessary to use words?

Why did the Word become flesh and dwell among us full of grace and truth? Why did Jesus use words?

Are words “necessary” to “preach the gospel”?

Do you think St. Francis of Assisi used words to preach the gospel?

He was making a point, and a strong point he made!

But do you think his point was that it is “OK” to just love and serve non-Christians...without even presenting the gospel of the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ to them in actual words?

I say you do, because you don't want to suffer the consequences. That doesn't mean you enjoy it though.

I think many people confuse "want" with "enjoy".

I dreamt the other night that my friends cousin who is pregnant had died. I kept repeating her name over and over in disbelief. The shock was immense. My mother has the same name as my friends cousin and I was wondering if it was a disguised way of making me think of her. She has a lot of health problems one of which is her heart and I don't see her enough. Any clues here?
If you don't believe in this move on please, I haven't asked for your opinion on dream interpretation in itself!
