What does the Bible say about the practice of smithying? Can I do it? How about broader forms of metal forging?

At work a co-worker I don't know so well lost his brother. Work is now passing around a card for us to write in. I've never experienced a death of a loved one, and wonder what should I write? I don't want to sound cliche or tacky. Please help.

Society views the father's heritage/religion as the dominant one.
So for the most part if a Jew male marries a non-Jew, the kids will be raised as Jews and identify as Jews (because it's hard not to with a last name like Goldstein)
So by instituting the matrilineal descent laws, if a non-Jew male marries a Jew, she feels that it's her duty to raise the kids as Jews and the kids knowing this information will identify as Jews.
So in the end, whatever the outcome, a union between a Jew and a non-Jew ends in Jewish kids.

I understand how all the mutations combined help species procreate but a mutations on its own is a very small step. How is it not too small?

If a cop stops me and asks where I am going or where I came from do I have to tell them this? I don't think it's any of their piggly damn business.

he never gives up! I really think he's gay because ever since last year he's been getting on my nerves (in highschool im a junior). It's creepy because he smiles at me everytime he looks at me. Everytime i catch him look at me i just shake my head and ignore him. He tries to talk to me and i really think he's gay because he tried to grab me!!! If it doesn't stop then it's going down. But i really don't want to fight its not that im scared its because i had braces and my teeth are finally straight and you know i dont want to lose any teeth(hey its a possibility!!). What do i do? Today everytime he passed my desk he did something either he tried talking to me or he threw something at me then he reached over and knocked a piece of wrapper from a candy bar off my desk.

We address self-proclaim psychics and mediums as lunatics, but praise those who devote themselves to God. A bit contradicting, dont you think?

Fijian-Indians or Indo-Fijians are displaced and misrepresented. Some people do not even know that they are a distinct group of people. That aside, many Indians themselves are unaware although Fijian Indians trace their ancestry back to India. It is understood that the British were responsible for the labouring of Indians on sugarcane plantations around the 19th C but many people dont know anything about their Indian roots.

What's this world coming to?

I was sitting in a cafe a few minutes ago, reading Il Gazetto Dello Sport and drinking a double espresso. Suddenly four Italian Carabinieri (Italy's para-military police) come strolling in...all decked out in their riot gear...to drink a coffee before battling another student demonstration here in town.

These guys were 25-20, tall, dark and muscular, wearing Armani -designed uniforms (very tailored & slim fit), with snug pants tucked neatly into spit-shined combat boots. Hemets, batons, pistols and radios all hanging seductively off their narrow hips.

So.......how would you feel......?

Israel has promised that it will not allow Iran to develope nuclear weapons, and they are talking about bombing Iran's nuclear sites along with the US this year. Iran turned around and said they would not want to try. Russia is selling Misiles to Syria as well as Iran.Because of Iran fight back Russia will be in their side and attack Israel along with the other Arab nations. Do you see this turning out to be the prophecied Ezekiel war that was so talked about, about 2,500 years ago? I certainly do, how can you not know. The middle east is talking seriously about peace, and the EU is pushing for peace, the US is pushing for peace in the middle east. I believe that the tribulation is right under out noses. It is so obvious. The antichrist will come out I believe not long after a major war with Israel to make peace with many including Israel(confirmation of the old one)Well Christians if that is the case the rapture is not going to be far away either. Are you getting prepared?

Well anyways, my question is, do u base ur sexuality on the intamacy or the love u have for the person of the same sex?
Can u be attracted to someone of the same sex, and do nothng sexual and still be considered gay? Or are u gay b/c u are attracted to someone of the same sex?

When you use a public toilet, & decide not to sit but to hover, do you put the seat up or hover over the seat & pee on it? Some of the girls here are fed up of getting to a public toilet & finding it wet. If you must hover, please put the seat up. Why do you not lift the seat before hovering or sit down & keep the seat clean?
