Do you ever find yourself judging people with tattoos or odd piercings or who smoke. I find the above three turn me off about a person. I wish I could overlook those things but when I see a tattooed person I automatically judge the person by their tattoos. And a smoker, a hate the stench and the fact they're killing themselves with Niccotine. And weird piercings are the same as tattoos. I'm sure many of these tattooed smokers are friendly and sweet but I find I judge them and shy away from the oppurtunity to know a possibly great person.


Also I'm a real estate agent and my office doesn't allowe smokers (cigars are okay), visible tattoos, or more than two piercings per ear and none for men. I think these people have harder times getting jobs and I'm not exposed to them as often in my natural surronding.

If one understands satan's role, does one actually become more powerful than satan because his role is understood? Is satan at our disposal?
If the perception is of him being evil, does that give him power over one that holds this belief?
Can we eliminate evil and substitute it for willingness to understand?

I always do, just because you learn so much about the person. People only give you the perception they want you to see of them, when you see or hear things you're not supp, you find out more...sometimes good, bad, or shocking...

Asians tend to sound better when they learn and spean another Asian language (like Chinese speaking Korean or Japanese), because the language phoneme amongst Asian languges aren't too wide. However, this phoneme gap becomes wider when an Asian speaks English as 2nd language. (Far Eastern/Asian language phonemes are unfitting to English where as for German, Russian, Italian this phoneme gap is less a problem. This is why European accent can be considered charming/respectable where as that is not the case with Asian accent.) Asian accent tends to produce high pitched voice for males which can sound weird and undesirable. This can be a permanent problem for Asian men (less for Asian women) in English speaking countries which will inhibit professional and personal mobility because people judge you based on how you speak and how you sound.
If you are an Asian man speaking Asian accented English, how have you overcome it? (Studying and practicing American/British accent is needed, but

Anyone? And if so, would you mind sharing about it a little?

Sometimes it's hard to share your belief when everyone else around you believes in the opposite. Were you scared to do so at first? How did everyone react?

The issue of 'multiculturalism' is quite prevalent in the news here at the moment. On that point, it seems glaringly obvious to me that religious segregation in school leads to segregation in wider society. How can we expect children to grow up with tolerance and understanding and mutual respect if the school system is constantly giving them the message that they have to be kept apart from people who hold different beliefs?

Ruth Kelly, on breakfast TV, was questioned on this point and her response was to enthuse about how they would encourage joint sports events and other links between different segregated schools... but to me this is just an admission that segregated schools lead to segregated society, and rather than tinkering around with links between schools it would be far better to outlaw segregated schools completely and just educate everyone together. That seems, as the Americans like to say, a 'no-brainer'.

What do you think?

Or have some people already did just this.(arguable)
The more technologically advanced we become, the smaller god gets on the scale of miracles.
Isn't god a term relating to all unknown concepts especially the ones revolving around love and the unknown?
Is love explained via science via physics and magnetism?
Is synergy what we are after, is synergy a catalyst for human evolution?
If there are astral planes, on what level did the first shapes appear? Can science prove this?
Will we ever be able to see extra-terrestrials in our lifetime, are they waiting for us only to acknowledge them?
Are the illuminati really on "our" side, as in the dreamers?
Are the illuminati hinting at us and want us to know the secrets?
Are we capable of being in the circle that will survive if things don't get better?


I don't expect an answer for every question but if you want it, it's yours.
