Society & Culture - 9 January 2007

I'm beginning to believe that material things aren't the most important things in life, and I feel inspired to get rid of my belongings unless they REALLY serve a purpose ( kitchenware, clothes, etc . ) . How can I get ready to get rid of my belongings ? How do I know I won't miss my belongings after they're gone ? How can I get over buying new belongings ? Do I make a rule that says "Don't buy any new material things ?" What do I do with my time after I don't collect new belongings ? How can I lose interest in material things ?

I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the following statistic,written in a pamphlet issued by the Dean of Women's Office at Queen University:

1.In Canada,a woman is sexually assaulted every 6 minutes.

2.1 in 3 woman in Canada will be sexually assaulted at some time in their lives.

3.A study found that 60% of Canadian university-aged male said that they would commit sexual assault if they were certain that they will not get caught.

Rape Punishment in the Bible
"If a man happen to meet a virgin who is not pledge to be married and rape her and they are discovered,he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekel's of silver.He must marry the girl,for he has violated her,he can never divorce her as long as he lives
(Deut 22:28-30)
Is this how they teach you,the girl has to live forever with the man who has violated her,?And the girl virginity worth only fifty shekel's of silver?
Truly this is absurd,.

I saw a puppy on the side of the road today and thought long and hard about picking him up because he was abandoned for sure given the remote area. I did not pick him up but he has been on my mind all morning. It is really cold out and will be snowing soon. Could you pray for the puppy? I leave work at 1145 today and if I see him I am going to pick him up and give him a good home.

I know this is beyond silly - - but I just can't get the little fella out of my mind, he looked so lost!

Besides doesn't God say help all cretes great and small?

For violent criminals and child molesters? And i'm not talking about sitting on death row for fifteen years. I'm talking a swift reprisal? Why/why not. And can we refrain from religous stuff because we all know we break God's laws all the time. Why not break them for the good of humanity?

Say, you do something bad like Lie, or something of that nature, and you ask God for forgiveness right? And when God forgives that means that he doesn't remember it and it's gone for forever. Well, what if you dad tells you something like you'll have to face what you did on Judgement day. Would you get judged of that even though its been forgiven and forgotten?

Am I alone here? Am I over-reacting here? No peace in the pub, f*****g idiots worshiping the stars like Gods, caring about every s**te detail of their personal life, future of the club and all the other B S that goes with it. If I owned a pub there would hang a great sign in the window 'No football Idiots'.

Get a life. Take up a hobby you actually practice, rather than pay lip service to.

And before you attack my sexuality, I have a beautiful gf, so F you very much.

I'm not American nor Brazilian but I have experienced both cultures after having lived in both the US and Brazil. I find Americans don't have good interpersonal skills when compared to Brazilians. In other words, when faced with the same situation/problem, Brazilians tend to be more polite, patient, tolerant, understanding and usually remain calm at all times. Customer service people such as clerks, cashiers, employees, waiters, etc. usually provide you with high-quality service in Brazil while in the US, these same customer service people are usually rude and provide a mediocre service. The same goes for health care providers. Health care in Brasil is of much higher quality than that of the United States and at a much lower cost. Doctors tend to be very patient, caring and stick to a high ethics standard in Brazil (and the rest of Latin America).

I sincerely want to know this, I'm not trying to be rude or anything. I've been curious about this for years. Is it a disease or something?

Seems to me that if you don't eat all that much food, that your stomach wouldn't be that large.

I have a wonderful pastor and I enjoy my church and his sermons very much. About 2 years ago I invited a friend of mine to a service to my church. After the service she said that she would never return back to my church again because during service my pastor started speaking in tongues. I read in 1 Corthians 14 where Paul speaks of speaking in tonuges and having an interperprter there explain what is being said, which is not done at my church. Is my pastor in error when he speaks in tongues during service or is he just filled with the spirt and unable to control what is being said. I'm seeking real advice on this question please.

as far as i can tell all he ever did was rebel against a dictater who wanted all of his subjects to worship him unelected. on the other hand God has killed loads of people he even sent plagues to terroize the Egyptians for not worshipping him. would you call George Washington evil cause his actions are equal to Lucifers if you think about it. if i have missed out something the devils done let me know i genuinely want to know
