I imagine you could express anything with fewer than 10 verbs using adverb modifiers, but a google search turned up nothing.

I am a senor citizen who has long since retired. As a part time job and to keep myself busy, I drive the school bus to pick up the kids in my town. I really like my job and driving the kids around. I have a long white beard and am pretty chubby. During the christmas season, for over 8 years now, I wear a santa hat so I look pretty much just like santa. I think the kids get a kick out of it. Then the principal told me I had to stop wearing my hat and either shave my beard or change it so it looks different because a mother of some kid complained that I was forcing my religious beliefs on them? and she was gonna sue. I guess I will quit, but what do you think?

Or... why do we think that people who are deformed or different are "ugly."

I am utterly confused.
There are verses in the Bible that say if you want something, all you have to do is ask God. For instance, Philippians 4:19, "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." and "Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and it will be awarded to you. Knock and the door will be open." Others say that you have to work for it or that you have to wait a while. While some [verses] say that if you ask for something in faith, you will get it (somewhere in Hebrews).

So I'm confused. What is the whole basic idea you have to do if you want something really bad?

I've been reading some of your responses to questions from gay people and I just can't get over how hateful you are. Anyway, my question to you is: Do you believe in God? and if so, do you care what you are doing to him? Some of you say that being gay is an abomination of God. Well, how you can you think that your bigotry and hate towards gay people isn't? Do you honestly think that you will be rewarded for that kind of behavior in heaven? If so, you might want to consider some help.

For example, they type like this: "ii liike iit when iit raiins."

Why have I just noticed this today? I've seen about five people typing like that. How long have they been doing this, and why? How would they spell "Hawaii"?

This question is in relation to the answer of a question: " 10 points for being the only one that wasn't simpathetic. keep telling it like it is and enjoy the 10 points.". Why do straight people think I need their sympathy? Why so straight people think that somehow they are better people if they support or say positive things about queer people? What, do you want a meddle ? Because I dont really expect a meddle for supporting hetero people. Just wondering.

X·mas (krĭs'məs, ĕks'məs)
n.
Christmas.

[From X, the Greek letter chi, first letter of Greek Khrīstos, Christ. See Christ.]

USAGE NOTE Xmas has been used for hundreds of years in religious writing, where the X represents a Greek chi, the first letter of Χριστος, “Christ.” In this use it is parallel to other forms like Xtian, “Christian.” But people unaware of the Greek origin of this X often mistakenly interpret Xmas as an informal shortening pronounced (ĕks'məs). Many therefore frown upon the term Xmas because it seems to them a commercial convenience that omits Christ from Christmas.

Will the earths population ever demand it or will growth run rampant until starvation is so prevalent that all will go hungry? Will the religious ever accept it as a viable alternative to self-extinction?

Christians only please - all others please refrain - serious answers only - what is your opinion? Please use the Bible as you see fit, but I'd appreciate only 1 or 2 verses per response. Thank you.

What would you use, a ruler or a yard stick? Many people see going through life, as no need for character. I have noticed this to be true in regards to consideration for one another as a whole. Everyone's a lawyer. That's gotta Hurt, the Human Race. I am a strong believer in MORAL justice. Even to be treated in a manner of disrespect. I remain within character to respect myself by respecting others. This way the weakest link becomes weaker. Then and only then, Do we create RULERS in the YARD of Justice! Feeling Warm and Fuzzy, (tol) Be Blessed!

I believe God does not exist, nor Heaven nor Hell nor Jesus.
Is it wrong for me to celebrate Christmas even though I despise the very idea of God?
