Society & Culture - 13 August 2006

I am trying to figure out how certain individuals always seem to know when I am posting questions. It's not that I don't like it. I'm rather flattered, actually. I JUST saw something called "watch list." Is THAT the answer? How does it work,if so? I have an inkling, but I'd rather know for sure. Thanks for taking the time to help me.

Smart is a poor choice of words but I couldn't think of a better way to put it.

In Mark, he says he does it so people will understand his message better. However, several times his diciples didn't even know what he was talking about and the had to ask him to explain.

There most be a better way, because many of the parable are hard for morden day people to get because the parables deal with old technology and customs.

Is not the real issue unwanted pregnancy?
If so, why is it that humans, who are so intelligent, do not take the easily available precautions to avoid the pregnancy in the first place?
Whether Religious or not, logic dictates that prevention, as simple as it is, would ward off all of the drama caused by both the pro-lifers, and the pro-choicers.
For you who are pro-choice, why not use your brains and not risk the hazards inherent in post conception abortion?
You claim to have minds, why not use them?

For those that are pro-life, why not attack the problem(unplanned, thus mindless, pregnancy) rather than the desire to not have children?

Am I alone in this simple observation?

I feel that too many people these days spend too much time saying things like "What's wrong with the world is...." or "If it were up to me...." or "Things are falling apart around here".

These are the same people who never get involved in any group. They are for saving the environment (or something else) but never join a group or help an organization that activily tries to improve things.

My idea is a group who's sole purpose is to get people to get involved in some group that tries to make the world a better place.
In the 1960's there were millions of people joining 1000's of groups that were protesting or petitioning for change in America..and those changes happened. We need to bring about a new way of changes for America today.

What do you all think....do Jewish people get more help from their families than other ethnic groups? Its seems to me that a lot of Jewish people get more help, finanically speaking, than other non Jews. I am talking about people in the age range of 18-30s, or even further. Or is this simply associated with a family's social status in society.

They are divided into two, named Yakjuj And Makjuj (maybe in the bible were called the Anti-Christ). Jesus will come to protect you from them.

If you don't. Read Islam holy book (Al-Quran).

Do you combine truths and myths to create a model of self and world within mind in body that lives and dies? If you build a strong foundation of truth and knowledge based on scientifically reproducible discovery and a weak or negative framework of myth and fantasy based on mystery, then will you find yourself exposed to emotive forces of sorrow, fear and anger as fall of disease and winter of death set in? To protect yourself, do you balance powerful emotive forces of sorrow, fear and anger produced by discovery of truth about the fractal infernal temporal nature of self and world with powerful emotive forces of joy, faith and love produced by myths about the divine eternal nature of self and world? Do you build both a foundation of truth and knowledge based on scientifically reproducible discovery that best produces good health and a framework of myth and fantasy based on the mystery of existence that best produces happiness?

This is a follow up from a preious question. "Is Jesus nice?"

I just finish reading most of Mark, and I got the impression Jesus was very mad at the way people were living. He said something to the effect of this is the "evil geration" five or six times.

So does God have a sense of humor? Does the bible ever mention Jesus laughing? He always seems so focused on the negitive...he even says that he wants to focus on the negitive. He said many times that sick people need doctors well people don't.

So my dad went to church today. (he's very religious) and he came back and told me I was a big dissapointment because I didn't graduate from highschool with my class. (I got my GED 2 years after) Then he said that he was dissapointed because I didn't go on a religious mission as expected for 19 year old boys in my religion. I am now 22. I don't care to go to church I don't think it's for me. What do you think is going on?

I recently realized that I'm sometimes condescending to my friends. I totally hate it when people do it to me, and I don't want to treat anyone that way especially those close to me, but I find myself getting frustrated with people sometimes. I don't do it on purpose though, I just don't think I realize my tone sometimes. Does anyone have any tips on how to avoid this, whether by lowering my frustration levels or by choosing my words more carefully?
