Both had senates, both gave continuous raves about being under attack. Both sent armies and emessaries to threaten, punish and bribe(economic add-like the money Turkey knocked back instead of allowing usa military launching pads against Iraq)
Both adopted a fundermentalist Christian religion.
Both claimed to be civilized. Both thought they where simply the best, both killed|kill in the millions, both had\have the edge with military tec.
Both stripped\strip the enviroment for all they can make with no reguard for the future.
Whats the difference, dispite the P.R they both seem about the same model of the same ruthless war and economic machine.

Scrying is looking in mirrors, or glass, or any surface that reflects objects. You stare in it and see things. Tell me what you see. Ghosts?A movie that shows the past events or maybe the future?
Whatever, I 'd like to know.

Did you know that during the old days in Arabia there were existence Jewish princes, jewish armies and Jewish castles and fort that is willing to do anything to die for the sake of Judaism.

Did you know that after the destruction of the second temple, about 20,000 of Jeiwsh priests of Cohenites descendants fled to the land of the Ishmaelites ?

Did you know that there used to be a jewish King in Yemen who used to massacre a lot of 400,000 Christians in Najran by burning them alive inside the ditch ?

Funny right, We have been thinking the jews are innocent and weak people that have been oppressed throughout history while we fail to find other sources that Jews in Arabia were great rulers ,artisans and soldiers .

My children is friends with a little girl whose mother works at Subway or somewhere awful. I saw the father leaving for work in a t-shirt and sweatpants once. They even buy their kids second hand text books for school! Unthinkable. They also drive a beater car and keep the thermostat at 68, unlike my house where it is always 87 degrees. What is wrong with these deadbeats? What should I do?

In Leviticus 11 God, the creator of all things, clearly gives the rules his people are to live by. He specifically states that swine are unclean and shall not be eaten by his people. This directive is clear. It is obeyed by observant Jews as well as Muslims.

God demanded a covenant from his people in at least four separate areas of the bible and the Koran. All males are to be circumcised at 8 days of age in a ritual if they are strong enough to undertake the procedure. In the New Testament, a book largely written after the death of Jesus by the apostles, the Mosaic laws were cancelled or modified. The direct connection with God was severed with the introduction of the concept of God having a son, something which most people of the day found ridiculous.

Jesus ate no pork and was circumcised. Is that not good enough for today's self righteous and judgemental Christians or do they have to go around wagging their index finger and threatening eternal damnation for everybody else?

Why we hide as individuals?
I mean for example, in Yahoo Answer pages, the names we mention across is definitely not our respective names. The photos are not ours, we hijack from other places. Why are we afraid of revealing our own selves?
