Serious Question. How you tell if someone has spit in your take out food?

I just got chinese food and there was this geletin, sticky thing attached to my broccili. I got chicken with mixed vegatables. The rest of the sauce does not have this flemish thing. Ewwwww. But how can I tell it is from a vegetable?

This is a serious question.

Did God Creat Everything?

A German 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 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?"

The professor replied "Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"

The students snickered at the young man's question.

This is not what I said but racist did. There are so many things like this.

>But you'll keep using all the White inventions til the day you die, even though your race had done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in their entire history. Of course you will try to point to some quadroon who did something here and there in White societies. Yeah, keep using your indoor heating and plumbing, your cell phone, your automobile, your computer, etc. Every time you turn the key in the ignition, turn on a light switch, dial a telephone number, sign into the internet, pop a dish into a microwave oven, or even flush the toilet... you're reaffirming White power! It must be quite a burden you ape!!

It is wrong, not right at all and stupid but when I read those kind of thing, I'm so obssesed and sad. I feel so down and can't really think about happy thing. Why? How do I get over/ignore it? What do I need?

I believe Simon Duffy argues that Hegel indeed gets Spinoza wrong.

Everyone has something different that defines who they are, what are the aspects of your life that define who you are?

I deal with a lot of “mental” impaired individuals. I have to read through a lot of medical records everyday such as: psychological reports, treatment notes, etc. After I read what the patient has stated what his/her problems were, the doctor gives an assessment or impression of what is wrong with this patient.

Where I am going with this is at times the patient may say he or she feels this way or did this and I have done the same thing. For instance, one patient gets angry easily. I sometimes do that myself. I feel maybe I should see a psychiatrist myself or maybe see if there is something mentally wrong with me. I know I am not crazy, I am in my right state of mind. It’s just that I had a hard life and I am starting to realize, that my past has affected my present. I am very OCD about my house. I get mad at my boyfriend when he doesn’t help me clean. When I do all the cleaning and he just sits there, I get angry inside. I sometimes start yelling over stupid, petty, crap. I don’t realize it either. I will continue to build things in my head and when the smallest problem arises, I get mad. I want to learn to try to keep calm on things. I don’t get angry everyday or anything like that. It may happen once a week. I just feel like I am doing everything on my own and sometimes I feel that no one truly cares about me. I know this isn’t true but it is the way I feel at times. Does this happen to anyone else on here? Why do I feel I have to have such a clean house? To tell you about my mom, which is the only reason I can explain it, she made us clean as children. We had to do everything on our own. She would leave us outside all day, hit us and she did do drugs. When she did let us inside we had to clean, a lot. I am guessing that is the only reason? I just wish I could calm down about it. I don’t want to get mad easily.

This is a famous quote in India. When there is a fruit, why should we go after unripe one? When there are sweet words to utter, why we use harsher ones?

I am a religious person, but sometimes it is hard for me to chose the Bible over science. Science says that the world was created by the Big Bang Theory, and the Bible says that God spoke it, and it was there....which kind of seems fmore realistic. This just drives me crazy becasuse books also say that we evolved from monkeys or other animals. and the Bible says that God put a man and a woman on the earth...i debate with myself through all of this, and its really hard for me to choose...i belive in God, but i feel like i have to believe all of it, or none of it at all....give me your opinions.

And what if we find out the answer to how life begna in the universe? what if we found out that humans evolved out of stardust like many scientists believe. Whats your opinion about this? should we be looking for life outside of our planet, what will happen to our beliefs if we do?

Amor vincit omnia...
Is it just something we say or does it hold up? Is love the strongest force in life? Is "for better or for worse" really possible? What does it take?

I went out with my friend on a bike ride yesterday. We pulled up by the side of a path for a break. I opened my bag up to get my water. There were my tyre levers, my pump, my valves, my sandwiches but nowhere could I see my water. I'd forgot to pack it.

My friend was, at that tme, enjoying a draught of his own water from his full bottle (about a 3/4L bottle). I asked if I could have a drink from his but he refused on the grounds that he had only brought enough water for himself. He suggested that, instead, I go to a nearby pub and ask for a glass of water there.

Can anyone think of a reason why his decision was justified?

I'm posting this in philosophy to encourage a deeper analysis than I might have got in the 'friends' section.
