They can just go and get an apartment and don't need a reason. They don't need parental approval. They don't have to try and make it work with their parents or go back home or to a relative,. They can just leave for any reason and get a grant for an apartment, fully furnished, for themselves, usually a two-bedroom. In my community, anyway.

I think my idea would really sell well. I have searched high and low and there is nothing like my idea on the market today.

I do not have the means to construct this new style of tree myself.

Would it be advisable for me to approach companies that make artificial Christmas trees directly about my idea? If so, can anyone point me in the direction of some companies? I would like use local (Australian) companies, but in their absence any company in the world would do.

I am talking about Biblical fasting, for God. I know about a church that is doing a congregational fast. They are supposed to pray and fast from certain foods. Is there a correct way to do it. I kknow that they pray and stuff but is there anything else that is supposed to be done a certain way?


Also, what about telling others that you are on a fast. Is that wrong or acceptable?

thanks

It's hilarious to log onto answers.yahoo.com and see many nameless / faceless (need a choice of word for something less than people... fill in the blank), criticizing people of varied cultures and races, primarily Blacks. Outside of this electronic facade you would never have the courage to ask the silly little questions or make such blatant, derogatory statements. Many of those statements sound as though they are being made by snotty nose 12 year olds on mommy's and daddy's computer. What's sad is I'm sure many of you are much older.

If you are racist, show your faces and tell us who you are. I actually began showing mine after responding to the first lame, racist question/comment so that the cowards can see just who's responding to them. In fact, I think I'll go search for a close up.

There is always so much bashing here of various religions. What makes you think you are inspired? Why do you think your minister knows something more or has any more insight into the gospel than any other minister, priest, bishop, etc...? If your answer is simply that Christ is your King, why do you go to any church? If it really isn't all that important, shouldn't we all just be Catholic? I guess my question is how has our Father in Heaven manifested the truthfulness of what you believe to you and do you think there is any possibility that you might have part of it wrong? Satan is the great deceiver isn't he?

When I interact with people I am kind and polite to them, even if I have to "fake it 'til I feel it". (Ok I'm a bit of a b*tch on the internet but that's how I vent my anger hehe). I like wearing feminine clothes when I can- I love 40s/50s type stuff like blouses, skirts, and dresses. But if I'm too cold, then I'll just throw on a baggy college sweatshirt, because that's the only way I can keep warm. I also can't wear nice clothes when I'm doing stuff like hiking and fishing. I'm nice to people and I like girly clothes and hair, but other than that, I'm pretty much a tom. I love the outdoors and I don't bother with my nails. I like to have a sense of humor just like the guys, I mean, I don't like bathroom/sex jokes but I still like random stupid humor. And if I make a smarta*s comment, it's just a joke and it's never mean spirited (unless it's about a celebrity or something). I’m nice to people and I don’t wear jeans with my crack hanging out, isn’t that enough? I don’t think it’s fair that I should have to give up fishing, do my nails, be an airhead and have no sense of humor to be considered unladylike. I’m just asking this because I’m curious to hear different people’s opinions of what a “lady” is.

What do you think about the English Dictionary and it's definition of a Mother? The English dictionary definition of a mother is a woman who (conceives), gives birth to, or raises and nurtures a child. Do you believe the Dictionary is acurate? If not do you think we should still use it in our schools?

Baggy pants, ripped jeans, short t-shirts, hair down to your ***, nose rings, skater shoes, liberal, rock stars eating live rats, drugs, booze, 'like', rap music, ignorance... There probably are a lot more but I can't think of them right now.

What happened to good ole' fashion values. You know? Like listening to Jazz music, dressing conservatively, being conservative, watching the likes of Humphrey Bogart or Fred Astaire, you know? Some days I get so frustrated how society has turned out, especially stupid youth. (I'm part of the 18-24 as well)

A commonsense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super intellect has monkeyed with physics, as well as chemistry and biology, and that there are no blind forces worth speaking about in nature. The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question."

Although Fred Hoyle was an atheist, he said that some things he had studied could not have possibly happened by chance.

On this same topic astrophysicist George Greensteen wrote:

"There are three quite separate structures in this story-helium, beryllium, and carbon-and two quite separate resonances. It is hard to see why these nuclei should work together so smoothly…Other nuclear reactions do not proceed by such a remarkable chain of lucky breaks…It is like discovering deep and complex resonances between a car, a bicycle, and a truck.

Do you have any campaign ideas for me? I want to get ready for the following student body election... I think I'm pretty good at planning events and giving ideas!! I like to use the character Stitch (from Disney's Lilo and Stitch), 'cuz I can imitate his voice, but I don't know if he's getting old now cuz I used him for the past two elections and he might be getting old...

We aren't allowed to bribe people such as passing out pens, candy, money (pfft!), but we ARE allowed to use stickers...

What should I do?? Any ideas about getting support, speech ideas, and pretty much any ideas are great, especially from people who have run for student body before and (preferably) have won!

a reactionary mindset that doesn't rise above the level of literalism? What I am saying is this, having enough intellect to know the bible is so flawed from a literal standpoint, why even entertain the notion as if it was intended for ritualistic and traditions, rather than an allegory of esoteric realities of mind and being and the forces by which control this universe (especially those that everything is determine through, much like Einstein through his knowledge of Quantum Mechanics felt that all things were determined by laws) through the ancient wisdom symbols of their day?

It appears to me that the judgment is always through this obscure dislike of modern religious, but if you go deep enough into the theology you'll find that they didn't regard scriptures as literal, but allegory with an immense spiritual meaning. So why read it from a prospective that does not even resemble the manner in which it was commonly understood? The below are quotes that prove this...
