Society & Culture - 21 January 2007

I help manage an office when the main boss is away, and every so often I get into these weird exchanges with a senior employee. She starts off with constructive criticism, but seconds later is essentially ripping into me for ruining her life, destroying her morale, not setting an example for the entire office, and even blaming me for getting her sick. I don't see her that often, and 95% of the time she's very jovial and friendly. But about every 4-6 months she has a major meltdown and it seems I'm the one to take the brunt of it. Everyone else in the office says I'm great and fun to work with. Any idea how to deal with this odd personality and her flare-ups? It's making me want to avoid her more and more.

I am this sack of meat that ponders itself and the universe. What a horror I am! Always thinking about light and beauty while I lie writhing, strapped to my bed.

This flesh could have been put to so many better uses. If only a mother of a wild beast ate the fish from the sea and the wheat from the field and had not my human mother eaten of them, the chemicals could have become the flesh of an orderly creature! What good is this flesh now? Isn't it spoiled?

How do I destroy my abominable self without killing it? I will not kill myself because that will cause ugliness and not order. What is another method?

No dogma or lies please thank you. I already have enough lies whispering to me in the back of my mind.

Do you think it is unethical for a supervisor to talk bad about his employees with other employees.

how many people have had an encounter with something supernatural or had an awesome experience with god that just about knocked u off your feet? if ghosts are scientific specimens (whatever) they are studied for professions then how come there can't be a god?

Is the KJV translation 1 Timothy 6:10a a poor translation of the original language, because Adam and Eve's, Cain's & Lucifer's sin seemed to have nothing to do with money. Not to mention many sexual sins have nothing to do with money (even though having money may aid in them.)

1 Timothy 6:10a
For the love of money is the root of all evil

I wont mention any "names:, but I have noticed that some people on Yahoo Answers, will repeatly ask questions about why do white people act this way, why do mexican people act that way, Ect. Seems to bad mouth other races. One person seems to do this on almost a daily routine. Not only is it against other races but other religons as well. How is it even possible for her to be on here. I thought there was rules.

Anyone eles feel the same way about certain people on here?

historians have no problem being called "Historians". i really don't see any problem with my suggestion. you keep on quoting the Bible, so what's wrong if people call you Biblians? why the sudden revulsion against the term "Biblians" when it is obviously derived from the word Bible?
