What do you do or act or think of when you see or when you talk or when you simply interact with some one that is ignorant and will not take advantage of the resources that are given to them?

I know we all are, but those who really don't care about life and how much they're missing out....
I would like to hear other people's opinion...

When we can no longer live on the earth and we are all dying whether it's global warming, nuclear bombs, starvation, disease, or whatever who will we blame and will it matter?

Okay,... If God isn't real because you can't see him, how do we know love is real.For that matter, how do we know the breeze we feel or movement of leaves outside is the wind? We can't see it! ++ plus, if God isn't real because there is no proof, how do we prove we love? What about homosexuality? We don't have any way of detecting or making someone homosexual. We have no real proof someone is homosexual, i mean really, it's just what they tell you and nothing more can be said. With that, can't God be caratcerized in the same category as love, wind, and sexuality?

god puts us obstacles he cannot help us with because we can solve them by ourselves. he doesn't give you what you wish but the oppurtunity to do it. I think that we are not poor or rich because of anything, i think we are because how we've act in our past life.
Is our purpuse of life just to be happy? or we're here because of a purpuse, what purpuse be happy, find love and have kids and so on.. but really why do we live, there should be a special reason?

Im just wondering, are there any people on this world who are totally alone from birth i.e. no friends, no family, their world is them and them only, you could call it ignorance but i cant think of anyone or anything without someone in their live's and im thinking that it would be pretty awesome, if you could somehow manage to live to adulthood then you would be totally free to do anything, the bonds that hold us down and together would be broken, ultimately, you'd be totally free. My question is this, who thinks this complete loners life is better or worse than the one most of us (the average man/ woman) live and who thinks its worth breaking all our bonds (with our friends, familes etc) for.

What is occurring?

Why don't we understand the concept the first time around...
Even though we read it very carefully?

I'm not broke, I'm not alone or anything like that, but still I feel like I'm stuck in a rut and I just can't do anyhting about it.

I hate my job, underpaid & overworked...

my home life stinks because i live with my sister and her bf with her 2 kids from 2 previous marriages...so I'm usually babysitting them and picking them up from school while she's out with her bf...

my sex life stinks too...cuz my gf has recently added a few pounds on her and she said she doesnt feel like taking care of herself anymore...

there's gotta be something better out there for me, right? or am i just gonna die a loser?

A good man, living on the streets, was near death by starvation. After a long day of begging for food and money, and receiving neither, he comes across a lone fruit stand. The man who runs the stand is also struggling to provide for his wife and kids, and can't afford to let any apple or pear go unpaid for. But the homeless person needs food, or else he might not survive the night. Should he steal?

While creationists would disagree, I believe humans were propelled to our current position in the food chain by the challenges we faced: Predators/prey inspired and developed our speed, stealth, cooperation, and cunning as a defense and a survival skill, as well serving to weed out the weak or infirm, ensuring that each new generation was stronger, and more apt to succeed. The same could be said for plagues, famines, conflicts, and any other challenge we've faced as a species - that they have been the fire in which our status as "dominant species" was forged.

Now, we consistently undermine the elements that would strengthen us further. Disease and famine are combated the world over, wars are treated with disdain, the unmotivated or incapable are fostered by the state and breed new generations of the same, and the only predators that remain to hone us are ourselves.

By eliminating most of what drives a creature to improve, how long before we start backpedaling into extinction?

Apparently books such as The Book of Secrets were criticized by those who practiced “real” science, and even the translator of the book goes so far as to “suggest that the book should be treated as light reading” . So why was this book (and those like it) so popular? And why is it still around today?

I have been reflecting on my life during this time of change. There is a goal that is with in my reach but to accheive it would mean destroying my family. Every thing I have would have to be given up. My soul mate, sons and home. Since this goal would be built on so much pain, I have opted to give it up. While it is true that I have made the only decision I could, I still mourn the loss of this goal. How do I keep from becoming bitter? When I see my family, how do I keep that nagging thought in the back of my mind silent? That thought that says remember what you could have had. How do I keep sight of the pain it would have caused and not let time dull the reason for my decision? Despite the pain it would have caused, I still wanted it so much....... It makes me incredably sad to have to give it up. It was an either or situation ---no comperamise was possible. Thoughts?????

It's in everyone's best self interest to be ethical and to do the right thing for the highest good, but why should we be ethical? whats in it for us? if others are not practicing good morals then why should we? Besides "getting into heaven" and being good in God's eyes, how does it directly effect our LIVES?

America's achievements are a wonderful springboard for world domination. But Americans are very independent. To facilitate a power to conquer effectively requires blind obedience such as Christianity.
I am suggesting that the direction is toward a reduction of descretionary funds available to Americans. This will close the gap between payroll and food.
The food supply will lesson and the price will raise. This will leave Americans working just to eat. That will produce a society that must be absolutly obedient. That obedience will be converted to military conquests for political power reasons.
