snatching me up from my place of slumber. And took me on high, and higher still until we moved to the spaces betwixt the air itself. And he brought me into a vast farmlands of our own midwest. And as we descended, cries of impending doom rose from the soil. One thousand, nay a million voices full of fear. And terror possesed me then. And I begged, "Angel of the Lord, what are these tortured screams?" And the angel said unto me, "These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots! You see, Reverend Daemon, tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust." And I sprang from my slumber drenched in sweat like the tears of one million terrified brothers and roared, "Hear me now, I have seen the light! They have a consciousness, they have a life, they have a soul! Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!" Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus.

So there are three pretty common European criticisms of Americans:

1. Americans only speak English (or, at best, have minimal foreign language abilities.)
2. Americans invaded Iraq.
3. Americans didn't sign the Kyoto Accord.

While this may be fair criticism, I wonder why Americans are near constantly confronted with these facts. But Aussies, on the other hand, have similar charateristics and are far less criticized. What's up with that? (I experienced this while traveling with some Aussies in Europe.)

And sorry if I pigeonhole anyone--I am sure there are many liguistically brilliant Aussies and Americans!

Thanks for your help...

Well, I'm just wondering how you people feel about difference? Like White vs. Black, Straights Vs. Gays, etc, ets. Do you think this is right, and u can tolerate difference, or its right to treat pp wrong because of their beliefs and/or customs?

Something very horrifying happened to me. I am still in shock as I type this. Last night, I was awoken abruptly at exactly 3:00 am. I gazed blankly at the digital clock; its red, glowing teeth stared right back at me. I couldn't fall back to sleep. I decided to use the bathroom. It was connected to my room so I did not bother to close the door; I hadn't even turned on the bathroom lights. My room was dimly lit with a bedside lamp and its ambience reached faintly into the bathroom. As I was doing my business in the bathroom, I felt... watched. My senses became heightened. I felt ice cold. My arms felt as if cold, dead breath was being blown against it. I deeply regretted not turning on the lights. The bathroom seemed darker than before. How I wished I had turned on the lights! I could only see the whites of my eyes staring back at me in the mirror. I hastily flushed the toilet in an attempt to shorten the time I had to endure being in the dark...

Fire

Bodies were thrashing and burning;
Against the outcome of actions .
Their questions were still yearning;
They hunted around for his presence;
In seconds, he comes crashing down.

Their faith forces him to relate.
He's leaving the last hill by the seventh gate; He's making his
getaway;
That need to break away haunts him;
As people gather in the town centre.

He remembers how they taunt him;
The latest round of words could hit him again;
This martyrdom game demands too much from him;
The papers will insist he either disappeared,
Or else, he just left on a whim.

He treasures the pain against pleasure; A burial beside white candles
holds him down.
Slowly the sweet, deathly leisure enters.
Roses bleed on the fingertips of a blade; Cut goes a little deeper.

Damaged copper canyons look steeper;
On the perfection of the clearest day.
Cut as sharp as crystal and diamond lasers; The fatal longing finds him
now; He follows dutifully.

it is time called the 'dark ages' because of the lack of written documents and evidence of the going ons at that time. Honestly, anyone could have written the Bible to screw with people's minds and gain control over the general public using fear tactics such as 'believe or you will go to hell' by dwelling on things that no1 can possibly know the answer to. (Ex:Creation of earth, what happens after death.) Sure, it worked, and it was a good idea. It preached things like treat other's well and be loyal to urself. But do we really still need religion and the bible. I'm sure it was a very good thing back in the day to increase public order but then it was misused starting the crusades, the holocaust, scamming people and the middle-east conflict today is fueled by it. Religion is a good thing I think (even if it may be a bit ridiculous) but let's not support our religous 'guesses' with violence if you still want to use it as a comforting bed time story. Agreed?

Please go to the web site www.letssaythanks.com . You can pick
out a thank you card and the Xerox Corporation will print it and it will be
sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out
who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. It is
FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers
received a bunch of these?

I want to learn German and am deciding whether or not I want to learn it in school or by myself. Some tell me to learn on my own and that a class is a waste of time because you have to stay at the same pace as the class. Others tell me that classes are the way to go. A local community college is offering a German class this month so I wanted to get some opinions on the matter. I am motivated and don’t think I would slack learning it on my own. All opinions and personal experiences welcomed!

What conspiracy theories does anyone believe in?
Why do people believe in conspiracy theories despite so much evidence against so many of them?
Do conspiracy theories do any harm to society or do they benefit society by making people think?
If I told you the Big Oil producers probably already had an affordable, renewable, accessible, and, readily available alternative fuel source and were REALLY just trying to squeeze out as many billions in profit as possible, how many would believe it (that's my personal conspiracy theory)?
Taking my previous question into consideration, are all those who believe in conspiracy theories crazy?
What conspiracy theories have you heard that so many people seem to agree with that are obviously wrong?

Does it not say in the Bible that the man who knows sorrow should drink to forget his woes? I'm not saying it says we should become alcoholics, but it does say we're entitled to some short escape from the sadness of reality, does it not?

Dan Brown is rather vague on the matter in 'The da Vinci Code'.

All that seems clear is that the Druids are still busy "sacrificing"/robbing/ "exchanging", including the traders at the New York Stock Exchange.

Did you see the well-heeled people in 'Eyes Wide Shut'?

'The da Vinci Code' does not tell us enough about the doctrine of the Cult of the Excommunicated Monks of Robert the Bruce, including its yin and yang Gnostic ideology, where good and bad have to always be kept in equal amounts and proportion.

It does not tell us enough about the human "sacrifice" that still goes on among the Freemasons, or "stonecutters".
