Spammers send out many millions of spam-emails daily clogging up our mailboxes and eating our internet bandwidth, costing the global economy billions per year.

Spammers are constantly on the run from people trying to shut them down. It's hard work being a spammer. But also very lucrative - although the vast majority of us bin that spam as soon as we see it, some people DO actually buy stuff that's advertised in spam emails. Maybe only a handful of responses per million spams sent out - but those people keep the spammers in business. Big-time spammers drive expensive cars and live in big houses.

Another way to make money spamming is to start a rumour via spam that some company's stock is going to rise in value. You buy some shares, then spam everyone out there to push the price up - then sell soon after it rises, before the bubble bursts.

So, is there anyone out there who actually buys stuff advertised in spam emails? Let's hear from you!

Doesn't that seem a contradiction? Create a being with great desire and imagination to try new things but then punish them for acting out their desires?

Answer only if you believe in both God and the Supernatural.

Did God create the Supernatural (like ghosts, vampires, UFOs etc...) ??

If He DID, WHY did He?
If He DIDN'T, HOW did they come to be?

- She's been wrestling with Charles over the souvereignty again
- She can't keep up with 'Phil's' vivacious appetite for transic sex.
- The corgi's jumped on her after escaping from 'Randy Andy's' sexual advances.

I don't really believe it is possible. I liked parts of the movie, although it was a bit over blown. Still, the idea intriques me. Like the short story by Ray Bradbury( inspiration for the film "The Butterfly effect.") it sets up possibilties of changing history. If you could go back in time, would you?

How do you view authority? Do you think authority has the same meaning today as it did 50 years ago (or 100 or 1000, etc)? Is there anything/anyone you believe deserves your respect because of authority?

A muslim woman is campigning for her right to wear her veil in a classromm...kids teacher (this covers the face and only leave a little peep hole for the eyes)...surely this is really dangerous in general in addition to the fact that it increases segregation...However a BA worker was sacked because she wore a crucifix on her neck. Surely this double standards has to end sometime...Are muslims becoming overly sensitive in this day and age...Surely we are allowed to express ourselves without being accused of 'islamophobia'. Jerry springer made a joke out of xtians but we took it well and didnt burn down anything. What would have happened if Mohammed was thebutt of Jerry's Joke? Yeah there were cartoons...so what...it s all about freedom of speech and if you dont like it then you should really be able to look away....

Isnt freedom of speech the right for me to insult others and the right for others to insult me...If your conscience allows it obviously!!!

Your thoughts please

HAS ANYONE EVER GOTTEN A RESPONSE FROM THEM WHEN YOU PROTEST A VIOLATION?!??!!!!!!!??

It is very hard for me to ask this question, as it is a source of real pain and remorse. I am very active at my church, and have a loving boyfriend that I will probably get engaged to, and yet I struggle with lust. Sometimes it's fine and not there, but about a few times each month I'll get the notion to lay in bed and think of sexual images, imagine certain scenarios, to the point of reaching some sort of sexual climax, usually by pulsing myself, followed by intense guilt... How can I end this once and for all? I hate myself after these "episodes." Even when I hear God telling me to stop in the middle of it, or whenever, I just ignore it...! I can't bear to tell anyone else about it-- it is too embarrassing and would cause my loved one so much pain... Please help. Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? Please, brothers and sisters-- honest answers. Thanks for your time.

Does it mean she is married or not married,or is it just a cultural thing it does not symbolise anything. I'm just curious because I know some Pakistani people but I'm to shy to ask them.
