Let's see... if population increases, the demands increases...if the demand increases, then the rich class rises the prices...the poor have to work more and make more children... the rich make children to insure their richness... the church get its tither and money for more baptismals, weddings and funerals, thus "be fruitful and multiply"... so... who needs population increase? Chinese communists? to have more soldiers?... Can you give me some reasons why population should increase and until when?

One Place to Never Say 'Thank You, Jesus'
Go ahead and thank the good Lord, but if you're in a courtroom, you might want to do it silently. Junior Stowers of Honolulu, Hawaii, learned that lesson the hard way when he raised his hands and exclaimed, "Thank you, Jesus!" when he learned a jury had found him not guilty of abusing his 15-year-old son, specifically hitting him with a broomstick last January. But after that outburst, Circuit Judge Patrick Border held him contempt of court and threw him in jail, reports The Associated Press.
Stowers remained in the cellblock for six hours until the judge scheduled a hearing on the contempt charge, which is a misdemeanor carrying up to 30 days in jail. Later at that hearing, the charge was dropped, but his attorney insists her client was not treated fairly. "I don't think there's anything about saying 'Thank you, Jesus' that rises to the level of contemptuous behavior in this case," Deputy Public Defender Susan Arnett told The Honolulu Advertiser. Stowers, 47, is a devoutly religious man who is active in his Assembly of God church.
The judge said the only reason he dropped the contempt charge is because he learned Stowers attorney did not have time to tell him to display emotion when the verdict was announced.

Okay most Christians believe that the end times will eventually come and they will go to heaven. Pagans like myself believe that one day we will no longer have to reincarnate but in the mean time we still have to live here so instead of waiting for the end times or an end to our reincarnation cycle what can we do to improve the quality of life here on Earth?

There are many names (Charles Soludo, Tony Egbo, Barrister whatever-by-the-dozens) with so much money (yeah, right) to share with wonderful, trustworthy people like us, that we must all be millionaires by now. Many variations exist. I just wonder if any of you have ever sent them any amount of money? I'd love to correspond with anyone who has any exprience or opinions with scams of any kind. I have been having fun with them for some time now, wasting their time.

These scammers are almost a subculture. Admittedly it is a disreputable one, but they display amazing ranges of apparent intelligence or lack thereof.

Mathew 13:13 "You will be hated by all men for my name's sake, but he who endures to the end, the same will be saved."
Corinthians 1:25 "For God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and God's weakness is stronger than human strength."
Corinthians 1:18 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”

In our society Christianity is looked on as "foolishness" and against the world's "wisdom". What can or how should we approach our unbelieving friends??

I am mixed with Black and white. I know that white guys like me and find me attractive, but I was wondering if it would ever go past the physical. I have never seriously dated a white guy. I am interested in one now, and I need some feedback.

OK, Saturday, during a community celebration, our neighbor, T. and her husband had a big party and everyone got drunk. My wife attended and got a little sloshed too. Anyway, at some point, T's husband started groping all of the women. My wife was groped and although she didn't say anything about it at the time, she didn't like it. Well the wife, T. saw and asked her what had been going on and she said he was getting kinda grabby, that's all. He denied it and forbid her to talk to either of us again (I wasn't even there.) Anyway, he is controlling and has her convinced my wife made it all up to get her away from him. All of the other wives threw her under the bus and said they didn't think anything happened. Now she is the homewrecker of the neighborhood just for answering her friend's question honestly.

Question: is she really that wacked that she believes him, or is she sacrificing a neighborhood friendship to smooth things over and stay out of trouble with the hubby???????

By "we" I mean males. I mean, come on! Sure, there was male dominance in the past, but that is because of the BAD males that took control. Most of us aren't like that. But then you see websites, literature, articles of clothing, and many other forms of statements that imply that we are ALL bad and that we ALL deserve to die horrible deaths. I mean, have you seen the "101 reasons why men suck?" Most of the reasons were used many times in the same web page, even more of them were taken almost directly from television sitcoms (the only way they could get closer tox those is by quoting them), most of them stated that they apply to all of us all the time, many of them were irrelevent and weren't our faults anyway, most of what they said wasn't true at all with a lot of males, most of them were things that apply to females as much as, if not more than, males, one had faulty logic (if we're all homophobes, how are there gays?), one of them was a GOOD thing (no PMS), etc. WHY?!?
