All I have found so far is that it comes from India and could mean RAIN

I read an interfaith article on "Holy Envy". A Rabbi and a Minister talked about what they envied in each others faith. It was rather interesting.

What I said was so wrong. I apologize, and I can say that there is no catch.
Please forgive me and if you don't, then what can I say? Do as you please.
Gemma.
I'll behave from now on.

I am doing an internationalization and I want to know what date formats people actually use. I know about mm/dd/yyyy, dd/mm/yyyy, and yyyy/mm/ss (all with slashes). I am wondering if there are any others in common use.

I am particularly interested in the dot format: for example 12.25.2006. I see that used on lots of web sites, but I've never seen it used in "real life." Does any native culture use this kind of format, or is it just a format people use to look cool and technophilic?

i know that this might seem like a silly, irreverent question, but i assure you, it has as much bearing as any other question on the R/S section has, as far as finally coming to a concensus about the veracity of faith and the importance of reason.

The one thing that I learned from my parents is that they decided to get married and have children for SELFISH reasons. And I have noticed that most people, especially women, are the same way, but are afraid to admit it.

My mother, when she met my father, was a lazy single mother who never worked a day in her entire life (she still hasn’t). She needed a “sugar daddy” to support her, her son, and her extravagant lifestyle. Of course, most men didn’t fall for that trap. So she settled for my father, an over-the-hill 40 year-old man at the time, who wasn’t “rich” but made enough money to support my desperate, dependent mother. I doubt either could do any better, so they settled for each other, got married, and decided to have a few more children out of pure selfishness. They never had me in mind; they never thought of the kind of impact it would have on me growing up and the extreme inferiority complex any normal person in my situation would have developed;

First Question:

Is the controversy between these two topics warranted on any factual basis (living things sharing DNA, but not originating one from another), or does the controversy simply disguise the ongoing dispute between the two opposing forces of atheism and religion?

Second Question:

How does the dating of fossils go from hypothesis to theory/fact?

Right now, is there anyone in Hell (as described in the Bible). This is sort of a trivia question, so give references for your answer.

Be you Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Sikh or other.

Accept your religion as the only way, the only truth, do you?

My neighbors make the most god awful noise day and night. I live in a town house with 2 apartments. They make more noise then a construction crew working on a house. They constantly play loud bass music and beat and bang enough that it sounds like they are practicing for the WCW. The land lord has warned them to stop but they just keep right own doing it. They are two young men in there twenties so they will not stop no matter who asks them. Calling the police would be useless. I am now just out for revenge. I need some ideads on how to get on there nerves as bad as they get on mine. Evil but simple ideas would be best.
