I am thinking that teaching them about sleight of hand and deception by distraction at an early age could arm them against frauds.

Is that ever an appropriate way to begin a sentence?

Today my now-former friend said to me, "No offense, but . . ." and then a REALLY mean comment. I wish I had said, "No offense, but you're a jackass."

If you ever start a sentence with "No Offense, but . . ." JUST STOP TALKING.

Il est important d'accepter la responsabilité de vos actions quand d'autres sont condamnés d'un acte que vous avez commis. Une personne ne devrait pas être puni pour un crime qu'ils n'ont
pas commis. C'est pourquoi nous devons être honnêtes et admettre nos erreurs. Dans Les Misérables, Champmathieu est faussement accusé d'être le forçat, Jean Valjean. Il est simplement un pauvre homme qui n'a fait aucun mal. Jean Valjean s'inquiète d'indiquer son identité parce qu'il a une position élevée dans la communauté, toutefois il se rend compte qu'il ne
devrait pas laisser une autre personne être puni pour lui. Il a pris la responsabilité complète et a montré que son nature honnête parce qu'il n'a pas laissé quelqu'un d'autre à être condamne pour un acte qu'ils n'ont pas commis.

You guys aren't that different. Muslims think that Muhammad went to heaven on a flying horse and Christians think Jesus is comming back on a flying horse.
What's amusing is that both of you think that the other's belief is insane.

What would it take for me to convince you that both beliefs are equally insane?

When will you both lay down your primitive bronze-aged world views and embrace reason?

Why do you follow dogmas that throughout history (and modern times) have impeded science, brought wars, senseless murders and misery to the lives of millions?

Christians ask have you become or when did you become saved.
The truth of the matter is, I haven't been saved once.
I fall into what they call sin all the time.One time I was doing the walk of life and tripped into a hole full of sin.I begged for Jesus to forgive me and then I was drowning in sin.Again jesus came to my rescue.
I don't just become saved and then its all over.Jesus saves me all the time.
One time my car died in 40 below winter in the middle of nowhere land.I screamed for Jesus to forgive my sins that I've done in the past cause I really truley believed it was my end to life as i knew it.My vehicle started up again.This happened more then once.
I hate the sound of christian music.It sounds so LA la la
That dosn't mean that God isn't with me either.I don't go to religious groups and still God saves me everyday.How do you Christians feel about that.I love rock-n-roll.Led zep and the band Kiss and still God never stops saveing me.Amen

I won't be a Christian.. I don't agree with it, the end.

She doesn't preach at me, very rarely.. but I know that is her attitude. She said this to me once and I know she still believes this.

If I was raised the 'way I should go', then I would still be in that way... why can't she see that just maybe I was raised the way I should NOT go...?

I am currently at work and decided to ask a question regarding late night activities. WIth the exception of bars, there is really nothing to do in the late hours of the evening. I am in Chicago. What are some ideas that can be created, or are out there for a person to do when there is nothing to do?
(I request opinions from everything, but I ask in the gay room because gay-themed ideas are important to me.)

Especially those of you who judge others, hate based on sexual orientation, race, religion, skin color.
Seriously why do you think your even worthy of being saved? Just because you ask for it???

We're all entitled to our own. We can all agree that there is suffering in the world. Supposedly God is all knowing and all powerful, so if he allows this and is content with it then: I'd rather be a protestor in the afterlife than an asskisser in the current life.

The Old Testament was written 3000+ years ago, The New Testament was written after Christ's death. Christ left no written words. Both the Old and the New Testaments have been revised and interpreted many times through the years. The official Bible was adopted some time during the 4th Century AD at various Councils sanctioned by Emperor Constantine,with certain transcripts included and others excluded. Given all that, we are to believe that every word in the Bible is inerrant and "inspired by God"?
