If you were to walk into four shopping malls in vastly different areas of the US, would it be easy for you tell--for example if you were in Buffalo, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle or Mobile?

What are values? Discuss some of the things you value in life? Expand on why these things are so important to you. Finally, write about where or whom you developed these values from>

Hints:
Values are: something that is precious such as love, has meaning, something you respect, helpful, something of sentimental worth, treasures, morals - what is right and wrong.

Some examples of value are:
- your family
- your health
- your freedom
- your friends
- women
- your food
- you faith/ relationship wth God
- nature/ earth/ environment
- your life/ ALL LIFE
- your education
- your shelter

We develop our values from our parents, God, friends, and in some cases the media.

Now, this is just an idea I had from when I was about six years old, but, I remembered it in light of recent personal events.

What if -- at the exact moment you went to sleep -- your soul transferred into the body of another, and it became waking? Like, as you were falling asleep, it was your soul switching into another body, and as you awake, it's your soul returning to your body.

I know it's an odd concept. But, yet, it is a possible one, isn't it?

In terms of sleep talking, it's not a complete soul transfer, so, you end up talking about things that are seemingly nonsense. In terms of sleep walking, it's also not a complete soul transfer, so, you end up walking around. While, say, in your other body, you remain silent or still when you really should be walking.

As for being awoken from sleep, what if at that moment the place where your soul had been either falls asleep or randomly passes out?

Again, just an idea...

... thoughts?

I never said it was acceptable for you to treat a class of people that are hurting no one badly and degradingly. Someone who is hurting no one is not a sinner. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you...

I have read alot of questions which start off with "why are men" (which is a generalization) when they have a problem with their mate. However when I talk about "women" girls tend to become offended easy. I understand if girls don't like being generalized but you can't generalize in the same sentence. Personally I generalize all the time but then I understand when people generalize me.

Every guy I've ever been out with always turns out to be a perve. So how do I find a guy who's actually wants a relationship? And how can you tell if he's just using you?

In many areas, particularly suburban ones, people have both a front and back yard of decent size. I had the following idea after realizing there are some neighbours of mine I would like to meet.

People place their patio furniture in their backyards. People seem to enjoy the privacy of their backyards, although some barbeque and entertain in a park, or on a beach...public areas - so I thought, why don't people do this stuff in their front yards? I imagine it would be a good way to meet people. If you were the only person on your street to do this, people would probably just think you're an oddball, but if everyone did it, I could see getting used to it.

One day I would like to see everyone putting their patio chairs, tables, lawnchairs, etc in their front yards. I think it would be a good way to meet the neighbours. What do you think?

The more I see, the more it looks that way. Christianity says man is wretched and doomed and only through Jesus can your life ever be meaningful. Same with an abusive husband. God punishes you for what he views as sins, even when you really did nothing wrong. Same with an abusive husband. Christianity takes over every aspect of their lives, same with an abusive husband.
