My name is Kyle and I'm a 16 year old boy. My Grandmother is in a wheelchair. I am concerned because I removed one of the screws from her wheels so I could hang a picture of my girlfriend on my bedroom wall using the screw. Lately, her wheelchair has been wobbly, and I'm certain the wheel will fall off in the coming days. Should I come clean about this, or should I pretend that I didn't do anything?

Why is it that SO many Christians feel that simply providing a Bible quote is a sufficient response? To people who are not religious or not Christian, you might as well be posting random listings from the phone book. Why not try using your OWN words from your OWN brain?

Thomas Paine was a pamphleteer whose manifestos encouraged the faltering spirits of the country and aided materially in winning the war of Independence:
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of...Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all."

For hundreds of years "christians" on one side of the fence have killed their fellow "christians" on the other side, and multitudes of others as well. They also pray to their "god" before they begin to fight and kill. That doesn't seem to follow that which was taught by the one they say they believe in.

a few days ago my cousin told me that some of the cheese sold in the US has enzymes taken from animals. i opened a site and found out that there was animal shortening in some sweet products also and even in toothpaste and cereals. i was wondering how you handle this problem about not being sure if something is halal or haram. its really impossible to do know everything that is haram but wouldn't it also be haram to not check up on something and eat in doubt? thank you

Okay, let's face it. Some people are smart and some people are dumb. Does a person's actions in his or her life and their own personal ambition to educate themselves determine how intelligent they are? Or, is intelligence merely something that someone is born with?

The man in street speaks vaguely of "the olden times," for he has but one epithet to apply to all the ages which lie between the dawn of history and the invention of the locomotive. If he think of them at all, Julious Caesar and Queen Elizabeth are to him essentially contemporaries, and from his point of view he is quite justified in thinking of them as such, since to one who judges of the value of life by the comforts amidst which it is passed, it is hardly worth while to make any distinction except that between a way of life which comes up to the 19th century standard and one which does not. All ages except the present were alike in being compelled to get along without the things of which he is most proud, and what he calls"progress"did not begin until a

very short time ago.



1.The title below that best expresses the ideas of this passage is ( ).



ⓐ Evaluating one's contemporaries.

ⓑ The comforts of the past.

ⓒ History, short-term view.

They sell THE SATANIC BIBLE in BARNS AND NOBLE! How can the sell somthing so evil? They are teaching are childreen how to worship the devil. This means more murder and human sacracies.
How can we let such evil things be sold in a christian nation. And if you say the U.S is not a christian nation, you are wrong. ALL of our founding fathers and presidents were Christians.

Do you think it is rude to copy the accents of other people. For example when you are talking to someone with an accent or talking about someone with an accent from another country is it rude to talk like them, even if it is just one sentence?
