say that attack statistics don't convey the dog's side of the story.

This is what happened to Sparky, a Dalmatian that bit a visiting 4-year-old boy. The boy had spent the day chasing the dog, climbing on him, and grabbing food from his bowl. Later, when Sparky was asleep, the boy approached him. The boy's mother heard Sparky growl just before her son was bitten on the face. The distraught owner called Around, wondering if she should euthanize her pet. Dr. Bergman instructed the owner to approach her dog, who was cowering behind the toilet. On Sparky's face were several small, crescent-shaped red marks. The boy had dug his fingernails in Sparky's face hard enough to draw blood. "It was a provoked bite.Why are people so trigger happy?

do you know that this n***a had the nerve to try to tell me why he doesn't like black girls? why would he tell me why he doesn't like black girls and i'm a black girl. and do you believe he got mad at me when i tried to defend my race(i say my race bcuz it seems like we, black women, are the only ones who are seperated now)? it seems like black men just don't realize that black men are over half the reason that black men don't like black women. why are we mad or bitter? do you think we were born that way? HELL NO! our black daddies weren't there for us and then our black boyfriends did us wrong and then black men who don't even know us or what we've been through turned around and tried to tell us what was wrong with us. and all people want to say is" you should just be happy BLAHBLAHBLAH you're making racism..." I DON'T WANNA HERE THAT **** THIS N***A JUST PISSED ME OFF! racism against blacks exists, but the worst part is that it is between us more than it is at us the klan is obsolete

I have heard this before in a few churches. However, I have found nothing proving otherwise. If it is not then why state those things. Please if anyone can give me evidence for or against this. I've yet to find otherwise(That they became Christian). Until then I will assume they were not.

I am a good God fearing girl. I have never stolen or hurt anyone. However, I clearly understand I have sinned. I am crying hysterically as I write this. I don't know what to do. I am afraid to tell my parents and I am embarassed to confess my sins at church. I feel this is the only place I can turn to. I... dreamt of Hayden Christensen again. He is reoccuring in my dreams ever since I saw Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. I... I can't help it! Ever since I laid eyes on him, it was the end of my innocence. I can't stop thinking sinful thoughts about him. I dreamed about holding his hands! Oh... Help me... please. I have to rid myself of these dirty, despicable thoughts! I dreamed he touched my hair. And.. and I liked it. Please don't judge me for I am human. I'm so scared... I am a God fearing girl and I believe everything that I have been taught. I know that these thoughts about a man is forbidden. I feel so weak. I can't resist these urges. These thoughts. These dreams. Help me...

I don't want sites that show how to look like a gypsy, or gypsy fanclubs. I want true gypsy sites where I can connect with gypsy organizations and possibly find my Spanish Gypsy roots, etc.

I am going to South America soon, and I feel its of utmost respect that I learn Portuguese (for Brazil) and Spanish (for the rest of the continent) so that I can converse with the people and conduct business on the continent. I also want to learn the customs and traditions of the various countries so not to offend its citizenry. Your responses are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

2006-08-06 19:26:38 · 15 answers · asked by BONNI 5 in Etiquette

O.k., so I asked a question earlier about wether I would go to hell if I was still a good person..most people said 'yes'. Seemed very strange to me that people think god would not take into account all my unanswered prayers, all the **** that's happened to me when sending me off to burn. If god is truly perfect wouldn't he have the traits of understanding and mercy. Wouldn't he have compassion for every1 and understand why they believe what they do? God created me according to most Christians..That means he created my brain, the way it works, They things I say (and since he created every1 else) The things other people do to me and each other. So...in a way god has already made my choices. (please correct me if I am wrong about this as I probably am.) And therefore, in since god makes my choices, he is basically living through me and every1 else. No? So...I make my own choices using some part of my 'soul' or w/e. did god create my soul? If so it just means the same thing doesn't it?
