I was amazed last night. A parent brought his 2 kids to my flat for trick or treat. They have never met me - what ever happened to not taking sweets from strangers! and why should people have to give sweets to someone elses little brats?

If so, why does he chage from a bloodthirsty megolmaniac demanding sacrifice to the nice guy who forgives everyone cause they accept that the blood penalty has been paid for all time? by his own son??????!!! I thought God was sorta immutabl;e, unchageable,,not fickle and bloodthirsty. What a crock!
Do christians realize the insanity of their doctrine? Do they actually READ the old testament? This is the most evil book I've ever read. It says that Yaweh demands punishment fo sin, and that this punishment is to be paid in blood...not necessarily the blood of sinners - but a scapegoat will do...this bilge is accepted as holy???? its just plain evil. No other religion on earth depicts God in this way. You people are mad, did you know that?

Primordial sound is supposed to be your base sound that's calculated based on your date of birth. I don't know the method used, but I'd like to. The primordial sound then becomes the mantra you repeat in order to take you to deeper consciousness when you meditate.

I have decided suddenly that there is enough hate in the world and I feel bad and unhappy for spreading so much contention. I still have the same points of view,but I am sorry for expressing them in such contentious ways. I mean it. Please accept my apology.

every message board i go into, there's always some loud mouthed brit bashing americans and accusing them of being arrogant. then a sentence later boasts and brags about how superior they are with their language, spelling, sports, and etc. they call us immature and in the SAME sentence call us plonker, ****, git, and other creative names. isn't name calling for children? they scoff at our football players for wearing padding, yet i'd pay money to see one of our linebackers knock them on their duffs and when they wake up next week, then they'll know why they do.

well here's a message to the brits. we're sorry for dropping the "u" in some words. we're sorry for doing things our own way without your approval. we're sorry for being born on the wrong side of the planet. we're sorry for enjoying the freedom our country fought and struggled for. we're sorry for enjoying certain sports you don't approve of. and we're sorry for not being as perfect as you. forgive us o mighty ones.

So many scams around , people looking to make a quick buck , or fortune in some cases.
It seems to be popping up everywhere , I was raised to believe if you want something you must EARN it , and not scam it out of people and make their lives a misery at the same time . Is this the way our society is heading ??

faith in there god seems to be the overwhelming answer but is this enough. people have faith in planes flying but they still crash! this may not be a relevant comparison. the point is though, is faith in god something we use just to protect ourselves from the unknown?

that there is so much stuff that's sold for differnt genders for no reason at all?. . . . . . probably could've worded that better . . . . . like men's and women's wallets. . . why would they need to be different, money and credit cards are the same no matter what your gender. men's and womens socks, mens and womens gloves, mens & womens razors. . . . why would they need to be different?! i don't know either.
