today during religion class my religion teacher started talking about madonna. now i'm a black girl in a white school so i don't know much about madonna i'm from the hood. but my religion teacher said she heard madonna on the radio talking about she doesn't want her daughter to watch tv with half naked girls laying aroound. and she sent her daughter to a fancy private school.
now doesn't madonna dance and prance around half-naked on television. and u know she always does talk about how she luvs the lord and she would never make fun of him but while she's being all naked there is a cross behind her. and she wears all these rosaries and stuff.
she moved to another country married a guy took his accent and talked about america like it was garbage. but WHO pays for her daughter to go to that rich school. AMERICANS! WHO buys her songs and cd's and and concert tickets AMERICA.
she does not act the way of the lord1
never stab somebody in the back cause oneday u might need them.
THANx!

Since I don't know any body who was born on another planet, would it be reasonable of me to believe life does not exist except for planet Earth?

Can anyone prove life exists on another planet?

God is God. Jesus is Jesus. They are both very real. They are both good! Praise Jesus! Now, for the unbelivers, why don't you belive in God, when he belives in YOU and made YOU.

Has the story where the pope says Islam is evil for it's use of violence and conversion by force.

While I agree bad things are evil, I also think the pope is a moron for oposing disease stopping condoms for moral reasons.

Is this the start of another goddam holy war?

Where can I find Middle Eastern Magazines in Toronto? More specifically I'm looking for "ALO Hayati", a magazine geared towards Middle Eastern Americans.

Is there a Middle Eastern Neighbourhood that I should check out? I've already tried Chapters, Indigo, The World's Biggest Bookstore...as well as several other small independent shops downtown.

Do you show your disappointment? Or do you just sigh and say- "Nevermind"?

"You know there was a chicken and a cow. The cow asked whether the chicken knew how to cross the road... and... and.... the rest I forgot! It's a funny one... Damn! What did the chicken say?"

Can anybody tell me about Brazilian Christmas? My wife and I like to travel out of the USA for Christmas and prefer to go places where Christmas is more of a public holiday than in the Anglo-American tradition. We have gone several times to Oaxaca, but this year we want to try something new.

"when the world throws lemons at you, make lemonaid"
i first heard that way back in the day, elementry school crap.
let me tell you this, you cannot simply make lemonaid with just lemons, you need sugar, LOTS OF IT! am i to assume that i am supposed to have a bag of sugar each time lemons are thrown.

i know what the idea behind the saying is; it basicly states make the best of a situation. but lemme tell you, it aint that easy. & at times the "lemons" keep comming before you can replenish your "sugar". why do we fill children with such BULL?!?

In 2 Esdras 4:1-11 an angel, Uriel, reveals the limitations of the human mind:

The Angel Uriel, who had been sent to me, replied, "You can't even understand what happens in this world. Do you think you can understand the ways of God Most High?"

"Yes, sir, I do!" I answered.
The angel continued, "I have been sent to ask you to solve three riddles about what happens in this world. If you can explain even one of them to me, I will answer your questions about God's ways and teach you why the human race has an evil impulse."
"I agree sir, " I said.
The he said to me, "Good! How do you weigh out a poind of fire? How do you measure a bushel of wind? How do you bring back a day that has passed?"

I answered, "Why do you ask me such question? No human being could answer them."

Then he said, "What if I had asked you how many dwelling places there are at the bottom of lthe sea? How many rivers flow into the waters beneath the earth?

Of course, America knows of the Sunni Muslim terror cells in America and how successful they can be (911) but then there is also the Shia Muslim terror cells in America. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2003-05-13-hezbollah-usat_x.htm

Spain got a taste of the presense of Islamic terror cells after hundreds were blown to bits in the Islamic civilian train bombings.

England got a huge wake-up call as to the existance of terror cells in their country...

France Islamic timebombs - http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060914/ap_on_re_eu/france_al_qaida_video

I know ignorant uneducated politically correct people are going to wanna disagree with what I am about to say...theres nothing I can do to stop them from sharing their ignorance or to make them study the issue before apologizing for religious war savages....

But anyway...here comes my recommendation. If you want to raise your family in an area free of Islamic terror cells, then go where there are no Muslims. Thats the only way

One of my good friends got VERY drunk and her boyfriend wanted to have a threesome with me. I am not bisexual, and I was engaged, so it didn't happen. Does the fact that she even agreed to do it make her bisexual, or is it a case of going all out to please your man? She claims she doesn't remember it at all. She's never mentioned attraction to any woman in the 10yrs I've known her. What's the deal? Sleeping with a woman just ain't gonna happen just to please my man. Is it just me, or is she bi?

I have a friend...he says that he's a Christian, but he doesn't believe that the Bible stories are 100%...he says it doesn't matter if the stories happened or not, because the Bible isn't a history book...it's a book of teachings...he says the stories are there to teach us how to live....but I believe everything the Bible says...he brought up a point that the Bible never mentions dinosaurs, but it's been proven they existed...but I think if you ask questions, then you're going to Hell...who's right? Shouldn't a real Christian accept what the Bible says?

Okay so here goes, please read all,

My Dad works for a Police Force as a detective and will rarely resort to using a medium for help with strange cases. This particular medium works for free with the Police Force.

After visiting an unsolved case my dad asked this medium if she may have some info about his dad that died within the last two years. She asked if my dad had any of his personal belongings on him and my dad said yes, he wore his ring after his death. The medium took it and began.

She 1st said that my grandfather wanted to know why my dad no longer wore his watch that he left behind, which my dad just stopped wearing a month b4. Then she said that he was happy about the things we put into his casket with him (including toy pig), and then she said that he also wants you to know that he was with you the entire day at the FIRST ever family BBQ and pig roast and that he was smiling all day. She also said many other things that were family only info...
