Society & Culture - 12 September 2006

Life tends to be hard and often disappointing. We are all just trying to make contact with other souls and trying to be happy.
Most of us, me anyway, have a hard time trying to define what is happiness for us as it seems to change each time we think we are just about to "find happiness".
I value the soul in another and can be very happy just sitting and listening to a friend prattle on. Beyond the noise of the voice is the heart, the soul, softly reaching out to touch my soul.
Perhaps that is the only happiness we really need?

Why on earth do people think evolution is "chance"?!?! The strongest survive - if you have a trait that is valuable, you will continue to reproduce to pass on that viable trait (for those that don't understand I'll dumb it down: Giraffes. They didn't have long necks all the time, but due to competition for vegetation, the ones with the slightly longer necks survived because they were able to reach places others couldn't. Therefore all the stumpy necked ones died off) This is only ONE example of millions!

"Natural selection is the process by which individual organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and reproduce than those with unfavorable traits." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection

It is called natural selection not "chance". Tell me why you think it is chance?

You would think that is Muslims and Christians both felt so strongly for this woman, you would know where she was buried. A shrine would be there or something. Well - where is she buried? You have tombs of the Pharoh's of Egypt still around, yet the Virgin Mary the most loved woman by two major relgions can't be found?

Rama was a model son, brother, and husband.
He is considered to be the seventh avatar. or reincarnation of Vishnu. Avatar is someones reincarnation or representation.
The Ramayana is one of the most popular writings for hinduism.
isn't that odd since the most popular holiday for muslims is Ramadon. That name seems to come up in many religions.
Does anyone know of anything that makes this religion special to them. How do they worship in Hinduism?

Everytime I see this woman's replies I can't help but think her world is totally about "me, me, me". I just wish she'd take all that angry judgment and focus some of her energy on introspection.

Apologies if this seems mean, but benign slurs from someone with transparent issues just seems like a request to encourage her to try self-help.

Why do so many people who learn English use a space after punctuation? I see it so constantly I wonder if they're specifically being taught to do it. I've only asked someone once (online) and he got touchy about it and said that's how he likes to do it and won't change (in broken english of course). This is the kind of thing I mean:

This is a sentence .
This is a list of stuff: apples , oranges
This is a question ?

Where do they learn to do this? I find it irritating to read.

I have no clue, except the idea that it is probably pretty insulting. Are these slang words? What is there meaning?
