You have the power to grant one wish to anyone (not yourself) you want, but they can't ask, you just have to do it without them ever knowing it was you.
What would you do and for whom?

I hate how black people say all white people are racist when it's really they who seperate races. Do white people have their own television network? ha that would be a living lawsuite. (BET) .
Do white people have their own speicifc holidays? no, they why have black history month? I have alot of black friends and I understand that racism back in the earlier days of America where terrible, but why can't we call it, American history month and not seperate races. I also hate it how many African Americans say that they are poor because the white man keeps them down...no they don't (mostly). And that brings me to the KKK and skinheads. Hitler is dead and gone he sucks and he lost the war which was fought mostly due to his racism problems. The KKK is just like the Black Panthers...fighting for the rights of white americans. If both would simply stop fighting in the name of their race, then perhaps they wouldn't have to fight against violence and oppression that they only bring upon th

I am 28 and married 7 together for 13 years.
I don't understand something about myself...
I have always been attracted to older men...
though I did not marry an older man,my husbands 30.
I guess you could say they are innocent crushes...
but inbetween break-ups(before marriage)always dated older men...when I was 18 dated a 30 year old...is something wrong with me? younger guys don't make me swoon...but an attractive older man drives me nuts...

We know no humans have ever ascended into Heaven upon their death.Is it the same with ET's? They were created by God, so they must have the same fate as us! Yes, Virginia, there are space aliens, maybe not in our universe, but in parallel universes (aka alternate universes). What's your take on this matter?

The beneficent Creator, after the six days of Creation, rested on the seventh day and instituted the Sabbath for all people as a memorial of Creation. The fourth commandment of God's unchangeable law requires the observance of this seventh-day Sabbath as the day of rest, worship, and ministry in harmony with the teaching and practice of Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day of delightful communion with God and one another. It is a symbol of our redemption in Christ, a sign of our sanctification, a token of our allegiance, and a foretaste of our eternal future in God's kingdom. The Sabbath is God's perpetual sign of His eternal covenant between Him and His people. Joyful observance of this holy time from evening to evening, sunset to sunset, is a celebration of God's creative and redemptive acts. (Gen. 2:1-3; Ex. 20:8-11; Luke 4:16; Isa. 56:5, 6; 58:13, 14; Matt. 12:1-12; Ex. 31:13-17; Eze. 20:12, 20; Deut. 5:12-15; Heb. 4:1-11; Lev. 23:32; Mark 1:32.)

According to David Barrett and team, there are 19 major world religious groupings in the world which are subdivided into a total of about 10,000 distinct religions. Of the latter, there were 270 religions and para-religions which had over a half million adherents in the year 2000 CE. Within Christianity, they have identified 34,000 separate groups (denominations, sects, individual unaffiliated churches, para-church groups, etc) in the world. "Over half of them are independent churches that are not interested in linking with the big denominations."

I note that in this section, Christians (not all) like to talk about Communism and other varying political views, but Communism is really villified. Do you not understand that Communism in it's purest form is direct Democracy? I don't get it guys. Have any of the people that are knocking it read the Manifesto? (no I am neither Communist or Socialist, but I fear religious fascism more than I fear either of those)

My German Shepherd, Ares, is always with me and hates to be left at home when I go out. No matter what I am doing around the house, you will find him by my side and I am the only one in the house that he will actually 'listen' to. I know I may sound crazy to some people, but there is an intelligence in his eyes when he looks at me, like he understands my words. Stereotypically, witches familiars are cats. Is it unusual for a 'witch' to have a different animal as her/his familiar?
