Society & Culture - 22 December 2006

I'm in a situation here, i wanted to help and I thought i was doing the right thing, and I ACTUALY thought a lot would agree with me too, but in the end pple just said stuff that really hurted me and I don't know what to do. After I thought about it for a while I started to think that it was dumb for even doing anything at all, I had more opinions and i still wanted to help, but I'm afraid that I'll just end up looking like a fool

Am I wronge for doing something that I thought was going to help?

it true the adult world is crule =/

I know she is Lebanese but 40% of Lebanon is Christian. I also know she was born in Kuwait, I think. Does anyone have a link or a solid fact on what religion she is? thanks

I was at Pep Boys the other day and bought several things. The person at the cash register said the total out loud to me and I was surprised it seemed less than I had expected. I said so and the cashier just responded with a dismissive gesture. I went through the receipt and realised she hadn't charged me $10 for one of the items. When I pointed it out to her, she took the item to the back of the store to verify the price as it did not have a price tag. I realised that she had knowingly given the item to me for free to save herself a trip to verify the price in the absence of an attached price tag.

I insisted I wanted to pay for it and indeed I did, but was appalled at the cashier's lack of work ethics. I told her, "Ma'm your conscience should prick you - mine did to me.

What would you have done in a similar situation?

It's Christmastime,
there's no need to be afraid
At Christmastime,
we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty
we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world
at Christmastime

But say a prayer,
pray for the other ones
At Christmastime it's hard,
but when you're having fun
There's a world outside your window,
and it's a world of dread and fear
Where the only water flowing
is the bitter sting of tears
And the Christmas bells that ring there
are the clanging chimes of doom
Well tonight thank God it's them
instead of you

And there won't be snow in Africa this Christmastime
The greatest gift they'll get this year is life(Oooh)
Where nothing ever grows
No rain or rivers flow
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Here's to you raise a glass for everyone
Here's to them underneath that burning sun
Do they know it's Christmastime at all?

Feed the world
Feed the world
Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again

Feed the world
Let them know it's Christmastime again
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!!

I had had it w/ my boyfriend of 2 yrs, sobbing on a rainy night. I walked around a 24 hr store lost and confused, praying God to show me that if not my current boyfriend, then who? I actually prayed that if I got in my car and started driving that we would get into an accident (not an injuring one) the very moment I left store. I prayed so specifically b/c I couldn't stand what I considered God's silence anymore, even though I really was making my own decisions. No sooner than I was block from the store, I noticed a car about to cross my path, not apparently slowing while I neared the intersection/stoplight. He didn't stop until he was well w/in the middle of the intersection. I was only a few feet from his side door area while we were stopped there for a moment. That could have banged up the cars some. I was in awe, and I couldn't tell what his face meant. Still, I honked out of irritation, he drove on and I haven't seen him since. Am I crazy to think anything of it, at all?

A man who owned a vineyard had 2 sons. He asked both of them to work in the vineyard.

The first son said "No" but later on went to work there.

The second one said "Yes Father I will work in the vineyard happily!" But never did.

Which one did the Father's will?

What does this story mean to you??

I say Hell no, Just incase you missed it he was just exposed by a clone as a pedophile and he has just admitted it, Does anyone think he should be forgiven? I think we should castrate all pedophile and rapist, this is the only acceptable way to fix these type of people and it has been tested and works.

If you were to kill everyone in the world, it would take a very long time. But if you killed yourself, everyone will stop existing to you. So isn't killing yourself really just a quick way to kill everyone in the world?

I honestly can't say that I believe the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a real God, (perhaps because there is no holy book written in support of Him..LOL) but I feel that some tribute to the idea of "God -The Flying Spaghetti Monster" is appropriate. It is an heroic attempt at undermining the other equally false deities, (those with books,) and that is a cause worthy of praise of its own.

Do you agree? Your thoughts, please.

I am just wondering.
What are some ways to eliminate the act of being overly easily offended by everything?
It seems quite impossible to do without any help.
