Over IM my male friend posted this:

"Have fun at school.
Be a good girl. Play with others,
Share your toys and take a good long nap."

I was offended and he said it was a joke and that I was being over sensitive.

In reply I stated:
"I do not appreciate being talked to like a child. Even in jest."

He agian said I was being over sensitive, that I had a good life and should try to enjoy it.

Was I truly in the wrong and being over sensitive? This is not the first time he has joked like this, but it is the first time I have said what I thought about it.

Even his family noticed at one time and mentioned how he treated me like a child.
I may be two years younger than him, but at 24 and 22 that kind of behaviour is no longer 'cute' to me.
Am I truly being over-sensitive about this?

Why is it that when women are standing in a quee for the bus or waiting to pay for something at the supermarket they wait until the get to the front of the quee before searching through their handbag for their purse????

I dont mean to be discriminate against women, and I know men do it as well, but it seems to be more women than men that do it!!

Why not look for your purse whilst queeing and get your money ready??

Did jesus really say this:
16. Jesus said, "Perhaps people think that I have come to cast peace
upon the world. They do not know that I have come to cast conflicts
upon the earth: fire, sword, war.

For there will be five in a house: there'll be three against two and
two against three, father against son and son against father, and they
will stand alone."

For this reason I say, if the owners of a house know that a thief is
coming, they will be on guard before the thief arrives and will not
let the thief break into their house (their domain) and steal their
possessions.

As for you, then, be on guard against the world. Prepare yourselves
with great strength, so the robbers can't find a way to get to you,
for the trouble you expect will come

30. Jesus said, "Where there are three deities, they are divine. Where
there are two or one, I am with that one."

33. Jesus said, "What you will hear in your ear, in the other ear
proclaim from your rooftops.

I just had to run up to my brother's school, its a new building a prek-12 now, and they have this visitors parking lot, and only one spot in the visitors parking lot. I know there isn't that many visitors there at a 10 til 11. I believe the teachers are parking there. Even though the teachers have a parking lot.

But why at other places also, do they take up the visitors/customers parking places?

This is a new experience for th UK. You never see Catholics,Prtestants,Jews,Hindus,Sihks amassing and calling for the heads of unbelievers. Why on earth can't they protest through their Imams who can then speak to Govt oficials. Instead of this madhouse crazy on the streets tirades

talk badly about Catholics when saying they don't know Jesus or profess the name of Jesus enough and yet when in conversation with a Catholic all the Protestant ever does is belittle the Catholic's faith, talk ill of his/her body of Christ the Church and speak little of Jesus Christ themselves

AND you can have free will with a predisposition to sin, then why can't you have free will with a predisposition to good? Wouldn't that lessen the evil while still maintaining free will?

There are plenty of sites on Transvestites and Transsexuals. Why do some men find pleasure in wearing women's clothes? I have found that this doesn't necessarily make them gay. But transvestites have an uncontrollable impulse to wear women's clothes. I wonder why.

I was in a museum the other day just standing there reading something or other when this woman came along and just stood right in from of me blocking my view. I didnt say anything to her directly but simply moved in front of her, blocking her view completely and shouted out - 'Some people are so rude, they come along and just stand in front of you with no thought for anyone else'

I think she got what i was saying cause she just walked away and didnt say anything to me!!!

My friends Holly and Jim met each other a few years ago. They fell in love, something that happens a lot after a few dates. They continued dating and waited nicely with having sex until they were married.

Every Sunday they go to church and they worship their God. For some reason God didn't give them any children. But they traveled to an Ethiopian orphanage to adopt two orphans.

Jim works as a doctor in a well-respected hospital, Holly is a volunteer for Unicef. Their kids are some of the happiest kids I've ever seen.

Weirdly enough, on this forum I always read that according to some old book they will end up in hell. Anybody can tell me why? Is it really simply because both Holly and Jim are male? Sounds so silly to me...

I think when you add together the crusades, the inquisition, colonizing of asia, africa and the americas the clear 'winner' is christianity.
