What is your favorite dish to make?

Mine is chili or salmon patties! And I cook pretty well, nothing fancy and I don't bake very well.

I recently had a misfortune in seating with an overly over-sized passenger during a flight where the seat divider(arm rest) between us was raised up and he already occupied his seat before I boarded later. I am sorry to say this, but it was not a very pleasant experience.

It had me thinking during the entire trip. I was very tempted to politely ask the passenger if I could lower the arm rest between us on some ostensible pretense, but it would be pretty obvious to anyone what the real intention is. So I just sucked it up for the entire excruciating journey(the overly over-sized part is a gross understatement.)

I think I do have the right to my seat space and to ask the person for me to lower the arm rest, for that he would have to stand up from his seat first.

What is the proper thing to do such for situation then?

That Peter was the first Pope but yet he was married and watching her die was part of his own crucifixtion... Also why do they believe that Mary remained a virgin when it clearly says in Matthew and Mark and Luke and Acts that Jesus had siblings that were Mary's kids...???

Firstly, I don't usually do this, but I have no time to do the essay by friday ( I have to work). It should be a comparing literature essay of the books "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Tracy Chevalier and "Demian" by Herman Hesse.
I have read the books, but need a pattern of a good essay and tips on what to say. So I'm asking a kind please to anyone who have read these books to help me. I don't need a finished and polished 'ready turn in' essay, but should anyone have the time and kindness to bother to make raw version, I could finnish it myself. Any help welcome. Promise not to make this a habit.

Why is it that when you ask why life isn't fair, why there is killing, why children are murdered and why people are not giving the opportunity to live their lives equally with one another, all of the Christians say, "Well that is the work of the devil on Earth". But when you question the validity of God, people say "God is all powerful, you are going to hell for questioning him"? If God is all powerful, then why would he allow a purely evil creation "Satan", to have influence over Earth?

One of my friends gave me a framed lithograph for my birthday. The lithograph was orginally hers but it did not go well in her newly redecorated home, so she gave it to me. However, I no longer like this type of art. I don't want to hang it in my house, but she'll notice it's not there when she comes over. Should I give it back to her? Should I just give it to someone else? What should I do?

do you get upset when someone asks you about alice and wonderland-even bad people make jokes about hell like -i would rather go to hell with my friends than go to heaven with religious people-
well dah alot of religious people are going to hell

Muslims koran says if your not a muslim your an unbeliever and the 'spirit' spoke to Mohamad and told him "Prophet! make war on the unbelievers" 66:9
Woe--but wanna hear the real sicko about religion and hell--Muslims follow a man who at 40 years old married a 9 year old little girl-and said Aisha is my favorite wife-and they say it was because--many reasons-1 she was one of the smartest scholars in the land (really!!! see my past questions!!!)
2 it doesnt matter because he is our final prophet (that is a final answer???)
well some religions may be wrong LOL

Jesus spoke about Hell but he also gave the way out-not a religion-a salvation-John 3 "Except you repent and be born again, you can not see the kingdom of heaven."
wellHell?

When Jesus returns and sets up his kingdom - obviously he will expound the heart and soul of truth, settling all arguments about the Gospel once and for all. However do you also believe he will teach mankind new technologies and new ways of doing things?

As for myself I believe he will. I don't think we will traverse the stars because the Earth is man's domain (according to scriptures) but I think he will show new forms of transportation, better ways to produce foods to feed the world's starving and things like that. I understand that some people actually think we will be riding donkeys and living in lime-stone homes and tents as per the Bible times, which I find silly reasoning.

Non the less, I would not balk at whatever Jesus brings us. Now that you have my view, I am asking for your opinion on this subject.

Well, how about it? Isn't teaching your child your beliefs as fact a form of indoctrination? Is taking children to a house of worship worse or better than not taking them?

If we all wore the full body veil then the security for the country would become so bad that the government would be forced to do something. Imagine the difficulty id'ing criminals when evereyone wears full body covering or even identifying one another.

should we start a national veil day? and do you think this would get things changed?

Yep.......and many western people with thinking brains has been convinced by the Islamic principles......Inshallah (when god wants) the Islam will spread more and more until it covers allover the earth as our ( and all people, not muslims only) messenger Mohammed has told us.

Note: that is because Allah( the god of all people of book) has created it......and no man has touched its Koran....... :)

the question is: Are u happy like me? :)
