I love studying hierglyphs but I can't seem to find anything good on the internet and I don't want to spend more money on a bunch of books. I have a couple of books but I want to know more than what they have to give. Oh, and I've already seen the site where they tell you how to write your name or other words in hieroglyphics so don't tell me about those.

I think based on the wide support of the death penalty, and people's attitudes about revenge, most people don't really believe in forgiving people.

I think forgiveness is important, or else we would all kill each other and there would be no such thing as unconditional love.

I think people in general aren't very good at forgiveness. Some people will forgive just about anything automatically, but most people like to give others a taste of their own medicine.

So I asked a question here; http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArpOrMZnXHGUkdfAubnedEbsy6IX?qid=20061103122922AAHb1dP

regarding if a Christian man being escorted off school grounds was the right thing to do. He was escorted off for the safety of the children - NOT religious reasons

(someone asked for a source; HERE http://www.cjad.com/node/337659

Now truth be told I semi lied. He was NOT Christian. He was not preaching about God but instead Allah. I wanted to know an honest answer about what you thought instead of the automatic profiling that seems to be happening.

The story is on the link above *Beechwood Elementary*.

My question, before I get reported for "chatting" is, Do you feel safe knowing that above all else, religion, etc that your children's safety comes first?

This was so wierd.... I was looking at my hamster in its cage trying to gnaw it's way out of the metal cage door and noticed that the water dispenser thing was in his way. And at that very moment I remembered long ago this exact situation occurring at this setting, with the blue cage, the black hamster, me trying to move the water dispenser out of the way. The thing is....I bought the cage with the hamster yesterday....I never owned a hamster before that. And I noticed that I would have to move that water dispenser to reach for him anyways. It was such an eerie experience i got stuck in thought for like 10 minutes not even moving. Then when the hamster stopped gnawing and walked away I snapped out of it. I experienced Deja vu in other strange occurances, but this one takes the cake. It makes me think sometimes that reality sometimes does redo itself for whatever reason.
