It could be for presents, or ornaments or decorations. I just don't want to spend so much money. Thank you very much!

i'm the genious that asked why bill gates couldn't give everyone on the planet $ 1 billion. and boy howdy was i ever attacked !!!! i don't expect ANYBODY to give me anything. it was just a "WHAT IF QUESTION" people. there isn't any reason for all of the hateful things some of you said to me. if all you want to do is insult and hurt peoples feelings.....why don't you think twice before doing so. ya'll don't know me and if ya did.....you would like me. i'm a very nice person..."MOST OF THE TIME". but when i get attacked , like i did here.....I WILL DEFEND MYSELF !! i'm not perfect and neither are the hateful people that jumped all over me for not being as smart as they think they are. as far as Bill Gates goes....it's wonderful that he is giving his money to worthy causes. people it was a silly harmless " WHAT IF " question. so , for the smart big mouths out there........think before you start pecking out an insult to people. i'm only human. and guess what? you mean people are too.

Its easy to criticise someone for making the effort and putting guidance in their life through faith. Its easy to criticise them when they cannot immediately and evidently prove God's existence upon demand.

But with so many real problems in the world. (Global warming) Why don't you allow people to follow their faith and get on with changing the 'real' world so many of you believe in?

Salvia Dinorum is supposedly one of the most poerful natural hallucinogens and its legal. Last night i bought some from the smoke shop, got home and loadd my bong. The plan was to smoke on my front stairs and chill in my room. I never made it past my stairs. before i could finish exhaling i was a cartoon character trapped on my stairs and gravity was going sideways. I was scaling the wall in front of my house trying to figure out how to escape from this huge lady trying to get me. My stairs were the dungeon in Disneylands castle, the lady was Alice, i finally got to the bottom of the stair the whole world looked red and i didn't know what to do or where i was. I ran up the steps and bust thru the front door to see my dad's girlfriend asking if i was okay. I just nodded. I remember pounding on the walls and trying to call for help. When i went back outside my bong was all over my stairs in a thousand pieces along with everythin from my pocket. I looked at my hands and they were cut up.

Thousands of fire safety leaflets in Scotland have been withdrawn because a wrong translation in the leaflet's Urdu version.

The leaflet's English version reads: "Never jump straight out of a window. Lower yourself on to cushions, etc."

But language experts charged with putting the passage into Urdu - there is a large minority in Scotland speaking the language - mixed 'gadda' (cushion) with a 'gadha' (donkey) in translating it.

This resulted in the translation "Never jump out of a window straight. Put yourself on a donkey."

Isaiah 30:26 (A reference to the light of heaven) 'Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the sun and the light of the sun shall be seven fold (49) as the light of seven days. Therefore heaven recieves 50 times the radiation from the sun as we do. using Stefan-Boltzman fouth power law for radiation the temperature of Heaven is calculated as 525 degrees C. Hell is made, as we all know, contains fire and brimstone. Brimstone (Sulpher) liquifies at 444 degrees C. You want to go to heaven? Why??????

Which I know it is, I live there. Why do most people still get their children Christened?

I'm expecting my first child now and hubby wants she/he christening (it doesnt bother me) as its a family tradition. Do you think thats the only reason people have it done?

I know from my point of view it makes life easier in the long run, say the child grows up and wants to get married in a church or be a God-Parent etc, they need to have been Christened and it saves them going through the humiliation of having it done as adults!

Just wondering what others thought on the subject.

Don't you hate it when someone claims they know and understand something yet they haven't even read or study'd what you have. Ex. Christians constantly tell me Richard Dawkins is an Idiot..yet have never read one of his books. Im sure it goes the same way for some Christians who talk to Atheists who have never read the bible. Me personally I have read the bible countless times and understand it fully...thats why I don't believe. But don't we all agree that we should at least really attempt to see the other side of the story before we argue?

I'm going to my in-laws for Thanksgiving and have waited until the last minute to think about what side dish to bring. I already know they'll have plenty of desserts, so that's out. I really don't want to bring something that's obviously store-bought, but I'm not that great in the kitchen. I need an idea for something that easy to make (or easy to buy at the store and disguise as my own). Help!

I heard someone on the History Channel say that God didn't part the Red Sea, but instead two tsunami waves occured in that spot, going opposite directions, at the same moment, and thus created a path through the sea.

Recently I heard someone claiming Jesus didn't walk on water - he walked on a sheet of ice and the disciples mistook it for walking on water (still I don't see how they expalin why the disciples were out on a boat in a frozen lake and how Peter fell through but Jesus did not)

Of course others claim Jesus did not die on the cross, but after being stabbed in the heart he relaxed in the tomb for a couple days then apparently got bored and finally decided to come out and walk around.

What do you guys think?
