I fail to understand why J.K. Rowling had to tell everyone Dumbledore was gay. Yes he's her creation and she can do with him as she pleases, but at the same time whatever happened to the readers ability to interpret. The joy of a book is that no matter who reads it they are each reading a slightly different story, because it's read and interpreted from their point of view. I feel like she killed it for me. What next, is she going to tell us that Ron likes to stand naked in front of his mirror or that professor Sprout smoked Gillyweed when she was a student??? I hope you get my point, I just don't see why these things have to be brought up at all. Am I the only one who thinks J.K. Rowlings should keep her mouth shut and let her readers find their own joy through their interpretation of her books?

I see it all the time in Y! politics - conservatives claiming this that is. Are you really so narrow minded to not recognize that people have opinions that differ from yours?

If Jesus was a Jew, and followed OT laws, then why do the Christians of today pick and choose laws to follow...such as the ones that say we can't eat pork. People will say because since Jesus was crusified, the old laws don't matter anymore, but Jesus himself followed them. And if the old laws don't matter anymore, then why do we follow the Ten Commandments still, as they are in the Old Testament?

Hey there everyone, I had a mini shunt implanted into my left eye for glaucoma yesterday. They didn't stick a tube all the way down my throat just a mouth piece put to the back of my throat. I had a cold/sinus infection about a week and a half ago, was on antibiotics and had a lingering cough. The anesthisiologist gave me Robinol to dry up my nasal secretions with my sedatives. After surgery it hurt to breathe in deeply and I was am still bringing up blood, both black and red, from my nose and chest. I went to the ER last night but they couldn't really find anything. Any thoughts what could be causing all of this? Thanks

Over the years ive been amazed how many people talked down about Brady after all he did. After winning 3 superbowls the called him not a good qb but a product of the patriots system. I never really got the lack of respect that brady used to get, its one thing to hate the guy its another to deny hes a talented player. Now this year hes flying through the gate putting up Peyton Manningesc numbers with a group of recievers that hes only worked with for 7 games. How can you hates out there not atleast admit that this guy is an amazing quarterback?

If you love someone and decided to spend your lives together by getting married, why would you cheat on that very person you love and care so much about? If you loved them, why would you risk hurting them so deeply?

This happened first before Jesus and gave hint about Scribes changing the Scriptures:
Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. (Eze 3:3)

It happens again in Revelations were the Two Witnesses old since creation (Spirits of truth) come to reveal more truth about the Scriptures and more.

Revelations 9:10
So I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said to me, "Take it and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."

This Spirits also represent the reason that the knowledge of God would increase at the end of times.

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

God's goal is to put his wisdom in our hearts. not that we follow the books. But that we learn from them. Then be wise.

He finds his way to a barstool and orders a drink. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?" The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet.

In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, you should know five things .....

1 - The bartender is a blonde girl.
2 - The bouncer is a blonde gal.
3 - I’m a 6 feet tall, 200 pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate.
4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weightlifter.
5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler.

Now think about it seriously, Mister; do you still wanna tell that joke?"

The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah... Not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times."

Go to Canada on their annual moose hunt. They do really well and bag 6 moose, the pilot who flew them in said that the plane will only take 4 moose and they must leave 2 behind.

" But we killed 6 moose last year and last year's pilot let us take all 6 and he had exactly the same plane as you!" complained Paddy

The pilot eventually gave in and agreed to take all 6 moose on the plane, but alas the little plane just couldn't take the load and went down in the wilderness.

By some miracle Paddy, Mick and the pilot all survive - no doubt cushioned by all the moose carcases.

"Jaysus, Where in the world are we?!" screams Mick as he begins to panic....
And Paddy replies












"I think we're quite near to where we crashed last year!"
