My husband is Greek. His parents are fresh off the boat! I can not send my daughter to Greek school because we don't attend the Greek church. I also have 3 daughters with an ex. So, do you feel she should learn Greek, is it that important and if so what about the fact I would have to attend a church I don't want to and what about my other 3 children? Am I putting to much thought into this?!!!!

Two Part Question: (I work in a retail store for a major cell phone company) 1) Why do people come into my store and ask where a competitor is located? Would you go to the Ford dealership and ask for directions to Nissan?? 2) How can people be so incredibly RUDE to a perfect stranger and/or someone who is not the source of their problem? Would you walk up to some random person on the street and hand them their A$$ b/c your water bill is too high even though YOU were the one who watered your grass all night, every night, for a month and took two showers per day?

Dont get me wrong, before the industrial age, Islam's armies were powerful and the threat of Jihad was imposed, not be suicide bombers, but by massive armies.

However, since Islam supresses innovation, Jihadists couldnt continue Jihad by means of conventional forces post-industrial age and thus Jihad reconstituted itself through the vehicle of terror.

But, if Allah truely contends that his Muslims should wage Jihad in his name till all the earth is dominated, why does Allah have to resort to such pathetic means, I mean, if America or France can have a impressive Air Force or Navy, why cant Allah?

Im not impressed with Allah...I must admitt.

What a Stupid freaking question, Then Two Pastors and Two Gay Politicians debated it for about 20 minutes.

I think americans need to stop blaming Groups of people, for one or even many actions of Individuals, This doens't just extend to Gay People, all races, all age groups. I just couldn't belive what I was seeing last night?

I would give every homeless person in the world a home and a job. They'd only lose it it they messed up, were drunkards or addicts and went delinquent on their taxes. I'd clear all the prisons of simple offenders who did nothing heinous...like pot smokers. I'd replace Bush with the Dalai Lama, and for my grand finale...all stingrays would now only have sufficient poison to affect small fish. Not humans.

What would you do?

especially teachers when teaching children. Surely facial expression is everything as it can convey a lot more than speaking at times. I think that some children are being discriminated against by the wearing of the veil as they can feel initmidated by the veil. What are your views. This is Not I repeat is Not a rascist question. Just one for the common sense brigade.

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water.

She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"You don't owe me anything," she replied. "Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness."
He said..... "Then I thank you from my heart." As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up and quit.

Year's later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Howard Kelly was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room.
Dressed in his doctor's gown he went in to see her. He recognized her at once. He went back to the consultation room determined to do his best to save her life. From that day he gave special attention to the case.
After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval.

He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill.
She read these words.....
"Paid in full with one glass of milk"
(Signed)
Dr. Howard Kelly.
Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed:
"Thank You, God, that Your love has spread abroad through human hearts and hands."

Now you have two choices.
You can send this page on and spread a positive message.
Or ignore it and pretend it never touched your heart.

And if you aren't, what's the use of being in this site? Just to 'teach' your side of the story? What makes you believe anybody's willing to learn anything from you, if you aren't willing to learn anything from them?

the stingrays took steve irwin from us. it was a terrible tragedy. we thought it was an isolated incident.

...

WE WERE WRONG.

earlier today, in Lighthouse Point, Florida, 81-year old James Bertakis was boating with his family, when suddenly, a stingray LEAPED FROM THE WATER onto his boat. perplexed, he turned to the stingray to see if it needed help, or perhaps directions. and without provocation, it attacked viciously. the barb pierced poor James's chest, leaving him with a collapsed lung.

i dont know what we did to the stingrays. i dont know where we went wrong. but i can tell you this: these are not isolated incidents. this is a war. a slaughter. an attack.

and it's only beginning.

so, i'd like to take this opportunity to apologize to the stingrays, on behalf of mankind.

we're sorry.

we just wanna swim.

just like you.
