Please note: This is a genuine question...

********* No offence is meant, and is a question that should be pondered before answering!********

Hitler in my view would never have stopped with Europe, he had already taken too Africa and Asia, before the Allied Forces (Similar to todays N.A.T.O.) defeated his Nazi Machine!

My Point...

Blond hair blue eyes... and the chance that any of you would be here today to have your petty Wars and answer questions on the Net, is very slim...

So why do we not take heed of History, thank our lucky stars, lay down our weapons, and be Peaceful. Also Respectful of others and there families... after all You wouldn't like soldiers in the middle of the night smashing the door down and taking your family to there deaths. You would not like somewhere you are having a day out with your family, then targeted by a suicide bomber...

What are your views!

Peace! Live Happy!

I learned these abbreviations in Exploring World Religions in my college class. My friend's daugher is being taught A.D. and B.C. and was told this is universal. I was told new way is politically correct and takes out referance to Christ and respects all religions. What do people in France use every day? What about in the U.N? What about everyday people in other contries? Who uses what and what difference does it make and why? Isn't it just like us narrow- minded Americans to be still teaching our 13 year olds the old system and tell them it's universal? What's wrong with this picture?

This question came to me while I was listening to a history-based podcast on my iPod. Anyhoo, my question is this: do hapless monarchs or leaders deserve to be executed? They have caused economic and social disorder BUT did not deliberately oppress their subjects. I will provide three examples:

King Charles I (England) - He wanted absolute power, taxed his people without Parliamentary consent (according to Wikipedia) and irked the English by marrying a Catholic (also according to Wikipedia). He met an untimely end by having his head separated from his body, so to speak.

King Louis XVI (France) - Same thing except that prior to his reign, France was always ruled by an absolute monarch, unlike England which was a constitutional monarchy since the 13th century. Now Louis was a nice guy; he just was a weak ruler. He met the same fate as Charles.

Tsar Nicholas II (Russia) - He never wanted to be ruler but obviously felt that God gave him that right. Also was executed.

This has a thought provoking message no matter how you believe. Does evil exist?

The university professor challenged his students with this question. Did God create everything that exists?
A student bravely replied yes, he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes, sir," the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil."
The student became quiet before such an answer.


The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.


Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?" "Of course", replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"


"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.


The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Everybody and every object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have too little heat.


The student continued. "Professor, does darkness exist?"


The professor responded, "Of course it does".


The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."


Finally the young man asked the professor. "Sir, does evil exist?"


Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. "These manifestations are nothing else but evil."


To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love, that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."


The professor sat down.


The young mans name --- Albert Einstein

Hello. I am writing a novel set in the 1890's, in East End London. I want one of the characters and her child to move in with another family ( a poor family) so I need to find out about bedding and the mattresses. What were they made of? Also would the children in the East end family be expected to give up their bed for the new arrival or would the guests stay somewhere else?
Also I want one of the kids to have an embroidered cover over his bed, made by his mother. What kind of thread would she have used - is it authentic to use embroidery silks amoungst such poverty?
