Society & Culture - 11 August 2006

As all the traffic in my two lanes stopped today for an ongoing funeral procession, I realized that I've always taken that for granted. Cars stop until the hearse and at least three or four following vehicles have passed. It's not a law by any means here. I've seen a man stop mowing his grass and hold his hat over his heart.

I was just wondering if that happens in other parts of the U.S.

Maybe the reason everyone gets something different when they read the bible is because it was written for somany different minds, we all undersatand at a different capacity, could the bible be written to handle all of us at once?

each option has its curse as well as it's benefits. which would you be willing to sacrafice? The modern world has fantasized all of these beings but honestly, culd you drink another humans blood, would you wan to change in to a monstrous wolf being every month, would you want to have to sacrafice everything you hold dear, to only gain all the material objects that you desire? could you honestly live that way? Think about it

Almost everybody in the US are familiar with the "Chinese Driver". When somebody veers into your lane etc.. People immediately say "must be a chinese driver". I am not against chinese people, but curious as to what makes them bad drivers.

Do you think that those who have no interest in having children feel that way because they have inferior genes?

We are the only species that chose not to have children. What gave us this ability to decide whether or not we procreate?

mahogany table reminiscing about their lives. The point is and there is a point to this, is that for all their wealth and comfort, what they really valued were their memories of being young with all the world ahead of them. Would you(you have to be older than 12) trade what you have for the possibilities of youth(Children excluded)?

I saw this guy on MSNBC and he made sense and has been studying Iran and says they are planning a global Jihad on August 22nd. This is the "anniversary" of the day Mohamed went from Mecca to Jerusalem and travelled to heaven and back (it's what they believe). It is also the day the President of Iran has said he will deliver his "response" to the world about their nuclear weapons program. He has his big interview Sunday on 60 Minutes.

Most people I know don't believe that witchcraft is real. I know they're wrong because I am a witch. I want to prove them wrong (I'm just that person who likes to see prove my point), but I don't want to give away my secret. If anyone can help with that, please tell me.
