Either by train, bus, car or flying, I know traveling can be a pain around that time. What's your worst nightmare? I hate being stuck somewhere and no where to go.

We have been friends for many years. Her becoming a vegetarian is new. She wants to offer to bring something that she'll eat. I think she needs to just eat whatever is offered by the hostess.

Will you say Merry Christmas to all, during the holiday season ??

I will. And I won't be worried that someone somehow is offended, because that's not my intention. I wouldn't be offended if someone said. ... Happy Hanukah, Shalom, Happy Qwanza, or any other religions greeting. That's what it is. .. .a greeting. Everyone of those folks would have good intentions with their greeting and I recognize that. Can you recognize that Christians have good intentions when they greet you with Merry Christmas ??

Now that the holiday season is gearing up, so are the charities asking for money. There are so many people who need help and have so little.

What are some charities you give to during the holiday season or all year round?

Some examples I know of:
thehungersite.com

onlineredkettle.org--a virtual version of the Salvation Army red kettles

Secondharvest.org

My local Barnes and Noble and Borders are both sponsoring donating books to local shelters or direct donations to Firstbook.org

I guess it should read: Just the sarcastic, wanna provoke Christian atheists. I am curious as to why you spend time thinking up crude, rude, vulgar questions that are obviously designed to anger Christians? I am serious.

I'm sure most of you will say that it is because they preach and they are everywhere and it annoys you etc. You feel that they are self-righteous, judgemental w/ what to do and that you're going to Hell, right? Well, THEIR belief tells them to witness and to try to save/convert, right or wrong.. so perhaps many of them need to work on their methods, but my point is this:

Your CHOICE not to believe or be intimidated, converted whatever, leaves you open to do ANYTHING and yet you CHOOSE to come to public forums and harass, provoke and inflame.

WHY?

I'd develop myself mentally, physically, artistically or try to cure cancer etc and not waste my time/energy upon those that irk me. i.e. I don't hate out with the idiots from my job or my 'hood, y'know?

I hate how somebody will ask a question about racism and how bad blacks or how bad women have things compared to white men. WHY can't they see that they are totally prejudging white men altogether?

Does a majority of people REALLY believe that whites are born with all the opportunities in the world?! White people have to work just as hard as everybody else to make it anywhere in life.

ALSO: There are groups and programs for sending minorities to college who can't afford it-----where are the groups for poor whites?!!!! If you ask me----THAT's "racist".

From what I'm told, I sound really country. I've recorded my voice before out of curiousity and I have come to find that that is correct.
I hate the way I sound, not only because it doesn't portray me correctly (people think that I'm some dirty redneck when they hear my voice, but people that haven't heard my voice call me 'punk' (whatever that's supposed to mean)). I'm in the 10th grade at an all guy school, which makes it a billion times worse. I constantly get mocked and made fun of because of my stupid voice. Every damn word that comes out of my mouth is either repeated in some bad imitation, or not taken seriously. I'm sick of it and I just want a "normal" voice. I want people to take me seriously and not mock me and make fun of me. Does anyone know of any way to get your voice "changed"? Anything at all (surgery, even). I am desperate!!! Please help!

Nietzsche thought so, and in todays struggle against global Jihad, Nietzsche's words appear very prophetic.

Most of us in the west grew up with this moral code and thought it beautiful. While I still have a reverence for them, I now clearly see their limitations.

I understand this appears very provocative, but I simply dont know how to serve this bitter truth any more gingerly (or lack the skill).

Pacifism:

Mat 3:59 "But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also."

Romans 12:20 - On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink."

Mat 5:7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."

Mat 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God"

These doctrines would be beautiful if the world were a place where pacifism didnt ring as a dinner bell to the cavepeople. People, lets be real, they dont work!

Actually...NO

Look at Los Angeles, a PRIME hispanic community...our schools are dumbed down for people who refuse to speak english...our communities are riddled with graffiti, gang shootings are daily, you see people do things here that is astounding(stopping on the side of a freeway during rush-hour to take a piss, blatantly throwing trash out the window, watching taggers on a freeway sign marking their spot like a dog on a fire-hydrant)but here is the REAL DEAL...

Hispanics do NOT embrace either higher education or birth control(even animals know when resources such as food are scarce, they will not reproduce). Why someone pumps out kids with NO means to feed them or educate them is beyond me! With a drop-out rate in middle-school and high school that is nothing short of astounding(all at the cost of the taxpayer).

If the US turning into a 3rd world country is a good thing, then the growth of Hispanics is a good thing.
I think not...
